I didn't get a chance to read the article in the Washington Post however his name sounds familiar to me. I think he operated on Ebay under the handle SportsWorld-Inc (or something similar). He started his own grading company "GEM" grading and essentially slabbed reprints of big name cards (ie...Mantle rookie, 39 Playball Ted Williams rookie) and graded them out as 9s or 10s. I know that he operated for a long time on Ebay without seemingly any negative feedbacks. Glad this guy has finally been put away.
