And they would commit an illegal act. Apparently not a problem in the auto auction world...


Can't just about anybody call the FBI on this auction company, evidence in this case i clear.

The auction companies all state clearly on the descriptions that all of the information is provided by and represented by the seller and not the auction. That way it keeps them out of the &quot;misrepresented&quot; trouble. </div></div>


Even so the auction company has a responsibility. I doubt that an art auction company could get away with that clause if they sold a fake painting of Picasso. And the same should apply here as well, they have obviously been participating in fraud here. A fake painting sold for less than this car would have stirred up a lot of fuss in the art business.


It could be simple for the auction companies if they asked the seller for a certificate of the car before entering the action. No certificate no sell.
