    LDS cult circling its wagons.

    Hindsight being 20/20, I have to wonder about the wisdom of consigning the entire $200K collection to a store without a cent being delivered upfront. Rather than consignments being made in portions. Would they really have room to display it all, anyway?

    Also, sounds a lot like lawyers / legal runners would have been best involved serving various papers. *shrug*

    That situation is just vile, though. I hope the story spreads as much as possible.

      AFAIK the company told him they would just bury him in legal fees until it wouldn’t even financially make sense.

        According to this article, it was much, much worse than that. They basically used every trick in the book to lie to him, subvert his efforts, get him in trouble multiple times with the police, even to the point where they dislocated his arm as he was peacefully cooperating. Also, the heroin charge on his record.

        He’s been fully ready to bring this to trial with damning evidence, but the LDS having enough local police in their pocket is the main thing that keeps stonewalling all this. It truly is disgusting.

        The word needs to be spread on this one to make these assholes pay for the $200K+ they stole from the consignment group, not to mention how they bilked that lady out of her store(!)
