This is the only section of the sentencing memorandum that covers future business dealings;
Quote:

"Bill has been out of the sports memorabilia industry since February 2009. He cannot and would not go back. His case is now an epic tale within the industry, a lesson to all about the consequences of auction-related misconduct. It is for this reason that even the Government has advised this Court that Bill’s public confessions 'provide a strong deterrent message to others in the industry, which was an additional benefit to the government in this case.'”

After reading the memo, I personally can't write off Net54 members' positive comments in this thread regarding Mastro as "ass kissing". It's too wide of a generalization. As for the ones who view Mastro as having saved their lives in AA, it's going to be a hard sell convincing them to abandon him over a mail fraud conviction.
Try to imagine the next time Ken Kendrick's Wagner finally goes to auction. Do you think anyone who bids on it will care Mastro altered it? It will be listed as a "restored" PSA 8 and will easily haul in eight figures.
