I think if I were him I would have kept my mouth shut. Does he really want his customers and the whole city to know that he and his business is the type that would screw people over that bad buy buying a $10,000.00 coin for twenty bucks? You know the saying what goes around comes around. He was the bigger crook by trying to steal these coins for $20.00 a piece and he's the one that ended getting screwed. I think he got exactly what he deserved.
