According to the SCD article you posted to the Memory Lane thread, ML states that the Strongville police asked ML not to publicly confirm the theft while their investigation was ongoing. There is some nuance to that statement, but it seems to me that the police were encouraging ML to keep the auction going, or at least preferred that it continue.

This information was communicated by ML, sure, but assuming it is true, it does show that ML was working with their insurers and the police while the auction was ongoing. I really don't see how their actions can be fraudulent if they are working with the police.

Why would anyone take the owner of Memory Lane at his word for anything? The guy literally spent years in prison for being a con artist. LOL

My grievance is that for some, Festivus is celebrated all year.

Instead, Happy Holidays and have a great New Year.

I hear you. If the Strongville police says something different, I would believe them over ML. Or if one of the consignee or buyers of the stolen cards contradicts ML then I would give them weight.

But I haven't heard anyone with knowledge of the facts that is disputing either the letter that ML sent out, or SCD's reporting.

Back after a nice holiday vacation. And this post is now on page 2

I am assuming we will see some of the buyers post their wins right? The cards were sent back to memory lane recently.
