Had Doug pleaded at the time? If not, he is presumed innocent.

Well, just because you're presumed innocent in connection with a criminal case doesn't mean a private organization has to rent space out to someone accused of a massive fraud in that very industry. However, if you cleared out all the felons from renting tables out at a baseball card show it could get a bit lonely inside.

Lol, so true.

I was not at the National this year, but if it was like years past, they ran their auction independent of the actual National. They rented a space in Cleveland to hold their event. The organizers of the National can't stop that.
