Loce says he "only deals in original material that I acquired from legitimate sources" and that he "laughs heartily when I see you praise dealer X & dealer Y when I know I wouldn’t trust them with my mother . You have no idea of all the inner workings of the movie poster business."
As usual with Loce, it's half-truths, evasions, and bluster. I've been talking to some insiders who "know" what's going on in this business, so I'm not as naive as Loce claims. I could file a lawsuit against him anytime with some very credible personal claims, including fraud, defamation, and deceptive trade practices. Really, though, I've already blown $90,000 on this hobby and need to move on to other life goals, so I just don't want to deal with the hassle and spend any more time on it. If he pisses me off enough, I will get motivated, will dump a ton of discovery requests on him, and depose him (and his pals) to get to the bottom of it all. It'll be just another one of the 50 cases I'm currently handling.
