"The court documents, and a motion for protective order that was also filed on Wednesday, say Mastro Auctions controller Walter Tomala violated Illinois and federal laws by making 34 harassing phone calls in 46 minutes to Forman's home between 1:58 a.m. and 2:44 a.m. on Sept. 10."

Persistent!!

Nah; speed dial.

[barrysloate]

I don't think Corey will be too happy that he was cited in this article.

[calvindog]

I don't know about that, Barry. Corey never struck me as a coward who was afraid of his own shadow.

[Leon]

Those phone calls would have pissed me off royally.




Jeff should quit pulling punches and just say what he really feels too...


"This is just another example of their fraud," countered Jeffrey Lichtman, one of Forman's attorneys. "It was flat-out thievery."

[barrysloate]

Jeff- Corey doesn't like to discuss his collection publicly. The legal ramifications of this are a separate issue.

Rich K.- how did Michael O'Keeffe become McKeefe?

[calvindog]

Barry, are you representing Corey? Or just pretending you know what he's thinking? My guess is that Corey is concerned about fraud in the hobby, period, and wants it gone. Like I said, not everyone is terrified of their own shadow; I'm certain Corey is not.

Edited to add: you recognize that there is a bigger picture here, right?

[barrysloate]

I'll speak to Corey shortly and see what he says about it. If he's happy I will retract my statement.

[oldjudge]

$300,000 (How much?) for a T210 Jackson--that's the biggest crime of all

I am assuming that Illinois has laws involving harassing communications and terroristic threatening. That guy should have been paid a visit that morning by 5-0 and taken to the crossbar hotel.
Absolutely ridiculous.
