Article on card restoration

(1) Where is Daniel Paul (if that is indeed his real name) today, and (2) how many cards has he or folks like him succeeded in getting past the grading services. A couple of observations from the article. Note how Mr. Paul says in words or substance (I don't have it in front of me) that really expert restoration (presumably such as his) cannot be detected. It also doesn't appear that he was asked explicitly whether he or his "clients" were submitting his restored cards to PSA. He did admit that half of his work was done on behalf of dealers though. I suppose dealers appreciate restored cards as much as collectors from an aesthetic point of view.
