Ever been sued Dave?
I have been sued twice by guys on the other side of the autograph business for talking about them to others.
And even though both suits were dismissed, my lawyers still had to get paid many thousands of dollars.
When you want to cover Chris' legal fees I am sure he would be happy to give you the names of some of these people.

Richard,

I personally don't care if he knows or not, neither do I care to know. Makes no difference in the end.

A question was asked, I answered.

Then don't say anything at all. But this "look at how much I know, but I'm not gonna share" is jive.

When you take the time to do the research I done over the course of a decade, Mr. Atkatz, then you can decide what you want to do with that information.

I also have contacts and resources who confide in me a wide range of information.

I have never, and will never, break a trust and confidence.

[David Atkatz]

Then don't say anything at all, Chris. You certainly won't break a confidence by keeping your mouth shut.
Why do you tell us you know who the forger is, if you won't say anything else? Because we're all supposed to be so impressed with your secret knowledge?
Trying to show off how much you know, while providing no information besides "I'm so knowledgeable," is, as I said, jive.

Then jive it is.

We agree!!!

It just seems hypocritical to me. This thread is basically publicly bashing the character of a man while hiding the bashing of others.

I guess you choose your slander battles in the autograph trade.

Thank you, Rich.
