PSA's argument we are rendering an opinion...that's it.

How can any Criminality Be Attached to an Opinion?

Suppose (hypothetically of course) it's not a good faith opinion?

Or a corruptly influenced opinion?

Also, criminal investigations, especially bank and wire fraud, take several years to bring to the US attorney for charging.
If PWCC is cooperating, it is possible they worked out a deal where they flip, pay a restitution fee, get to keep their livelihood and continue to assist the government in uncovering fraud.
That would be one heck of a deal. However, without knowing specifics, or seeing any affidavits attached to search warrants, all we can do is speculate.
On the other hand, it is possible that charges are not forthcoming.

I think it's public knowledge they are cooperating.

PSA - Professional Sports Authenticator

Grading is an opinion. Authenticating (it's in their name) a card isn't and should NEVER be an opinion.
