For good or for bad, we live in a world where every story is a wild Netflix mystery to be solved, and every half baked idea or half ass speculation that someone concocts is dished out as stone cold fact. The idea of waiting for the actual facts to come out is a long gone quaint concept.

Was fighting with a few board members who figured out the whole Ohtani gambling situation days after it broke, based on nothing more than their filling in the blanks and drawing unwarranted conclusions from news articles based on zero evidence. Of course when LE came out to explain what the years of evidence showed actually did happen, it didn't square with their story at all. So at that point they immediately pivoted to argue coverup, because their half ass story could possibly be wrong.

That's the world we live in. Rush to judgment. I've figured it all out from my computer.

Since we don't have all the facts, are you suggesting we don't discuss it?

No, wasn't saying that.

Just saying don't make shit up that you don't know is true.

With all the attention this theft is getting, I think there is a better than zero chance that the cards are already in a dumpster or at the bottom of Lake Erie.

I see what you're saying, the thief might be scared stiff.

On the other hand, how easy is it for someone, especially a thief, to throw away $2,000,000.00?

If the FBI is knocking on their door it might be a little easier. Let's all hope the cards are returned. Some close to the investigation still think it's possible they are, but no one knows right now.

I'm not sure with the specific lots that we are dealing with, outside of the Cobb. But I would imagine most of the cards, would be able to be cracked and resubmitted, if the thief was smart and willing to bide their time.

The Cobb, there's no way of getting around it. It's such a rare issue, and that one looks so unique I think it would be borderline impossible to crack, reslab and sell anytime soon.

Hmmm, kinda reminds of something that had to do with bronze a couple of months ago.
