Of course, PSA easily could reassure the collecting community about people they have banned, or explain why they haven't, but they won't. It's all a big secret. Trust us, we're well-versed in combating fraud, we'll deal with it privately, it's up to you to figure out what cards might be bad, and in that case contact the seller. I'll give JO credit, he knows well that a little scandal isn't going to rock the boat much as long as you keep a lid on it. The folks with money will toe the line and that's all that matters.

The only hope for change is law enforcement or possibly significant civil lawsuits.

Did I miss where he specifically asked, or mentioned Moser?

The quote was

"3. Telling a dealer they can no longer submit would do no good, since they can always submit through others"

From the report, the response was to a question about Moser.

I think many of us feel pretty similarly on this, which is that finding this stuff and these people IS PART OF THE JOB.

It DOES make a difference when you tell someone they can't submit, and yes they would look to find someone else. Anyone else who's WILLING to do those submissions should then be added to the list of people you DO NOT want to work with and you can tell THEM they can't submit.

But, alas, if it's really just about MONEY, then let's keep it simple. Slab all you want, but when you get busted having slabbed altered cards from non-trustworthy parties, you have to just pay up.

That's what I believe most of us would expect real leaders to do.

PSA is only interested in damage control. Maybe as a public company that's justified I don't know. We the collectors are secondary, and doubtless they know we will keep feeding them revenue no matter how disingenuous their response to this scandal is.
