This is funny that Peter Nash is writing about fraud. According to these articles he has pleaded the Fifth when asked about the authenticity and provenance of his memorabilia items, and he has admitted to fraud. Here are links to help understand that all is not as it seems by reading his self-promoting website and articles attacking others.This is wild. Check these many links out about Nash, his legal woes, and activities well documented by the legal system and journalists as opposed to the impression given by him in his articles and what he writes about himself on his own website. There is much more to this than meets the eye but you have to read these links to begin to understand:

All I can say is that shooting the messenger doesn't change the veracity of his claims.
ReplyDeletereading it all I have to say actually it does

ReplyDeleteLooks like you put a lot of time into that little comment of yours.
