PWCC Brent Huigens Hires Mob Boss Attorney

tlschwerz · 07-22-2019, 09:11 PM

You can't make this up. Darren Rovell is reporting the PWCC scumbag has hired big time attorney Jeffrey Lichtman to represent him. I'd imagine an innocent person needs to go to these extremes...

"Brent Huigens, owner of PWCC, eBay’s largest card seller that has been accused of being complicit in a scheme to sell trimmed cards, has hired Jeffrey Lichtman to represent him. Lichtman represented mob boss John Gotti and currently represents “El Chapo.”'

El Chapo - sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years Wednesday

EDIT: Lichtman represented John Gotti JR, not the mob boss John Gotti

Still man... this guy has got to charge big $$$!!!! The fact he hired this guy says much about Brent's character.

coltsnsox07 · 07-22-2019, 09:18 PM

When someone asked 'what are trimmed cards', Rovell said 'Cards that are trimmed to appear more mint', some guy named Patrick responds
"People buying cards that are graded would have nothing to worry about."

Also.....can you even imagine what that lawyer charges?!

that, and the case against him may be a little stronger than it appears

ucLAkers · 07-22-2019, 09:34 PM

Cant imagine how many trimmed cards are gonna pay that tab.
Not sure why he would hire him unless this is much bigger than any of us truly can imagine.

I’ll read the full story in a few years im out....and definitely not buying any Vintage before posting pics to get your guys opinions.

Someone should start a “is this card I wanna buy legit” thread..$200+ purchases to make it worthy of a quick glance.

Bombshell after bombshell nowadays....

It's actually pretty interesting to read the thread at Net54.

Keyser Soze · 07-22-2019, 10:02 PM

You know who's NEVER hired that guy? An innocent man.

jraarmy · 07-22-2019, 10:05 PM

Man really hope he goes down in a burning flame

I’m thinking Brent was able to trim some of those lawyer charges.

BostonNut · 07-22-2019, 10:08 PM

Maybe Brent and Brandon can go halfsies with the lawyer...

wheeler281 · 07-22-2019, 10:12 PM

As the user on net54 said. This isn't a oopsie by Pwcc. Their listing practices prove that. Hope Brent Mastro and his salt of the earth employees complicit in their fraud get what's coming.

MoreToppsPlease · 07-22-2019, 10:19 PM

I’m really happy a high-profile attorney was brought on as this increases the media attention on the hobby’s troubles. Regular people need to know what’s going on, and the hobby won’t grow until the ugliness is fully exposed.

speedyjg13 · 07-22-2019, 10:36 PM

I'm assuming Brent got a lawyer to defend himself against a lawsuit. If that's the case can someone with knowledge answer these questions:

1 - Who is filing claim against PWCC/Brent?

2 - What are the allegations? Fraud/Thievery/Thievery by False Pretenses?

3 - What courthouse did this suit get filed in?

ninjacookies · 07-22-2019, 10:40 PM

If the feds are the ones pressing charges, then it won't matter if he has the dream team and digs up Johnny Cochran...the big boys have like a 98% conviction rate.

He'd be better off copping a plea deal and ratting on anyone and everything he knows.

Glad to see the outrageous shilling fees and 'pwcc insurance fund' being put to good use.

StraWMyerS · 07-22-2019, 10:41 PM

All of this is really sad for the hobby. I used to wish I got into vintage.. now I'm glad I never did. What a shame.

Thanks for this. I agree that it's an interesting read. Is it wrong that, in my mind, every post by the lawyer counts as a billable hour?

You mean like how he probably wants the best defense possible? What should an innocent man do, hire a public defender?

Some of you are so stupid it's simply unbelievable.

Rucchin · 07-22-2019, 10:56 PM

Crazy that Brent’s lawyer is basically doing an AMA on net54. And acknowledges that the FBI source for altered cards is BODA!

danimal875 · 07-22-2019, 11:00 PM

More than anyone, I want PSA to go down for their ridiculous grading fees, at least PWCC was passing on the gravy to their consigners.

Yup, all those people were guilty. Nevermind that they all went to trial and were found innocent or had charges dropped. The courts are wrong, only criminals hire defense attornies, and you are the true gatekeeper of truth.
