Karl Jobst

The retro video game scam is worse than I thought. It's hilariously bad, new video coming in a couple of weeks. The FTC will be investigating this very soon.

Great work on bringing this to light. It's one thing for people to bid huge sums on classic games and toys, but it's entirely another to see the manipulations playbook used on coins in the 80s applied to them.

The original video really is a great piece of investigative journalism. Can't wait for the next update on this.

My favorite part of this whole ordeal so far is their response that they would never do that even though they were previously charged and convicted of doing exactly what you are talking about.

You are turning into quite the investigative journalist. Your methods are outstanding and your sources are reliable and public. Soon you will probably have the same kind of reputation as Jim Browning

Thank you for being not only a man with personal integrity, but one who demands the same from others. The world would be a better place if more folks held themselves to the same standards.

Karl: Exposing retro game fraud frame perfectly. WATA: "You haven't seen the true ending!" Karl: Starts New Game Plus

Was starting to consider having some of my games graded, so glad I didn't because at this point I think anyone that has it just lost their investment if it was a wata grading.

To use the Australianism "Yeah, nah", it's exactly as bad as you suspected.
