! FORGER SENTENCED TO FEDERAL PRISON
SOME GOOD NEWS - Stephen Lyons, a solo forger operating out of Rhode Island who
sold on ebay, was convicted in Federal court in San Diego of forging autographs. He sold sports and entertainment autographs. His actions received attention from the FBI and he was just convicted. The FBI is now investigating solo operators. This forger openly wept in court when the guilty plea was read. The jury was only out for four hours before convicting him on TEN COUNTS. The judge remanded him to prison immediately after conviction. Two expert witnesses for the Federal Government were Stephen Koschal noted authenticator and Anthony Daniels who played C3PO in Star Wars movies. Mr. Lyons' attorneys had actually used the argument that he was "writing" the stars autographs so he could feel "closer" to his favorite stars. WOW, what a crock! Mr. Lyons was just sentenced to 36 months in Federal prison. |

And he never thought of that when he was forging those signatures and selling them on Ebay? One more for the good guys! But, unfortunately, there'll probably be at least 2 more forgers pop up in his place on Ebay. BJ http://bjwebb3749.tripod.com/bjscelebritysigns/ |
