    Has backed down since the naional backlash and the attention from Dems on price controls. L:ikely had a flurry of calls from the other sellers to chill the fuck out before he ruins the whole rigged game.

    It seems like anything found in the news should be allowed on AMT since it is a current events page. If legal consequences are an issue, maybe put a disclaimer at the head of this forum?

    one would think.

    should say

    "current events, within reason, as in, if you wouldn't talk to your mother about it, don't post it here. someone might get offended."
    By that definition, what is said here is pretty tame.

    What a great example showing why the industry in the US desperately needs increased government regulation, IMO.
    I am glad public and political pressure made him back down, but holy fuck, what a despicable excuse for a human being. He is the pure definition of what is wrong with America. His existence and his bullshit appeals to capitalism make me sick to my stomach.

    I only found out this morning from a friend that he bought that Wu-Tang album. Lol, wonder if that was a good investment? I doubt it. :lol:

    That guy is a fucking scuzzball - serious scum of the Earth IMO - and I REALLY hope these charges stick. What a little fucker.

    I wonder how his claim as "the world’s most eligible bachelor” will go down in prison?

    He's a lot more insane than I realized. Spending hours upon hours just holed up in a hotel room, broadcasting his sad days drinking alone online. How weird.

    When an R Rep says you should be held in contempt of congress after actions related to naked capitalistic greed, that means you really fucked up.
