    HERO unmasked!

    All,
    <O</O
    It is with great sadness that I must unmask our own Tom Durante as the Hero. He has been working with Carsten Staegemeir to make high-end fakes and sell them as real. Carsten is the distributor, but Tom makes them in his HOME! He invited me over this weekend and tried to get me to join him. He said with everyone respecting “experts” like us we would make big bucks. Plus we could soak up the real badges in the process. He has Staegemeir sell the crappy fakes so no one catches wind that Tom is making the nearly perfect ones. He just sold a silver Juncker CCC on e-stand for $1500 – and he showed me the die he made it with!
    <O</O
    I snapped a pic of one of his dies when he was out of the room and I post it below as evidence. It is a hard thing to turn a friend in, but he is no friend any more. Never really was I guess. At a MINIMUM the mods need to banish his a$$.
    <O</O
    This is a hard day for me…

      Allan,

      I don't think so! I heard about this already at the SOS and it is time to act. Please see the thread in the Admin area!

        Good grief!!!

        I would never have thought that Tom could be so low.

        He seemed such a nice guy.

        Of course it means that his book is, well, words fail me.

            Hi Marc,

            Actually I heard rumours that you're in the deal as well, I would be carefull with what you are telling here!

            I will ban Tom right away, I will give you a second chance because of the lack of proof.
            Kind regards,
            Giel

              dirty inside

              Oh ! Marc
              That is so underhanded and unscrupulous of Tom! You must feel so dirty inside after spending so much time with him at the SOS.

                Even if it´s April 1st i find this practical joke a bit over the line. Not all members are fluant in english and this one could be misunderstood quite easily.

                  I knew it all along ! ! ! I should have just gone with my gut feeling. I could have ended this fiasco years ago.

                      Good April fools and jokes and bad ones. This one is like the calling fire in crowded theater.
