FBI has busted several hobby related crimes that amounted to next to no money because they were easy to prosecute. Mayo did not pose a threat to the hobby. Sure the dude slabbing the cards in Mexico is still at it too.
This was simply a threat to PSA's brand...sorta. PSA did not really care if an unsuspecting collector spent 100K on a fake card. They cared if an unsuspecting collector bought a 100K fake card and then swore off buying the PSA brand.
Card doctoring is not a threat to PSA. Seems like they love it because otherwise there would be no vintage 9s or 10s or 52 Topps Mantles that were VG that are now in 7 holders. More money for the slab means more dollars sent PSA's way.
