In the video, Paul and his friend Bolillo Lajan San, a known card collector, met with the Baseball Card Exchange in Chicago to discover if the cards were the real deal.

“We all got duped,” one of the card authenticators said after analyzing the boxes.The outside of the boxes had Pokémon branding, but the inside were green G.I. Joe cards.

Sorry, I broke the rules. I am ashamed. I read the article. Apparently, he was already reimbursed the 3.5 million from the seller.

You didn’t read closely. He was allegedly reimbursed by his business partner. THe business partner said he will try to get money back from the seller.

I can think of a lot better things to do with $3.5 million than Pokemon cards that you can’t even burn to heat your house when the zombie apocalypse happens.

Paul Logan was the Youtuber who participated in the looting of Scottsdale by the most vile, feral, ignorant, scumbag, teabag-eating shyteheels in our state.

They did this right after our poor townfolks were recovering from the shutdown from the chicom plague and they were just barely scraping by when these animals showed up to loot and destroy the place.

May they all burn for what they did.

Whoever did this to him? Well played. He knew NO ONE would be sympathetic with a BLM enabler/terrorist.

Think back on the tulip bulb investment crash.

Humanity has a long past of doing stupid stuff.
