A guy sold me a vehicle 5 ˝ years ago with about 50,000 miles rolled off the odometer. It’s a long story but I became suspicious about the mileage but when I went back to him he wouldn’t give my money back. I told him if I confirmed my suspicions I would get a lawyer and call the cops. The prosecutor’s office initially said that my case was weak. Thanks to a dedicated detective, it was eventually discovered that he was head of a ring that sold ~1,500 cars this way, earning over $1,300,000.

He was sentenced last week to four years in state prison.

Yipeee!

I dunno, it paid Violin handsomely, unless this is another of his "left foot" threads.

Nah. It's really real this time. Really.

I'd post the settlement release but it contains a little more private info than I'd like to share.

My wife is sure happy this creep is off the street. He's not a nice person and I #&%!$ed him bad.

Better keep track of his parole hearings then.

Even if paroled, I'm sure the cops will be watching him closely. Like a midget at a urinal, he'll have to keep on his toes.

If this were a troll, it'd be the slowest build up ever. I posted this after he was arrested.

Rosemary Clooney? Her left foot probably looks like Violin's, but she has an excuse: she's dead!

Rosemary dead or alive has as much change playing violin as George. ;)

You shouldn't have been so hard on your father. All he wanted to do was make a buck.
