IS all this stuff stolen?

But he wasn't buying through auction sites. He was meeting in strip mall parking lots. That doesn't seem on the up and up.

Sure it's possible that he thought spikes was a legit dealer... but he was also storing bought props hours away in a separate location. That's fishy.

I live in a pretty nice area, but if I purchase/sell something on Craigslist or eBay that needs to be picked up, I always meet at a public place. (However, I've never bought Disney collectibles, lol.)

I also find it hard to believe that he didn't know this stuff was stolen. I mean, how could it not be? Still, are you really upset about Spikes being thrown under the bus for stealing and selling it?

Well it’s more that a guy who’s equally guilty may get away with it because he’s now turning on his partner in crime.

ebay is the fence!

Unless it's accompanied by a letter from Disney authorizing its transfer, it's a safe bet most of this kind of stuff grew legs. Remember, according to the article, Lopez first contacted Spikes via eBay, so I imaginr he was already selling this kind of stuff.

It's fishy, but who knows? He may have thought it was honest. He seemed to be pretty cooperative in handing stuff back over.

This is going to be a weird, long trial.

Holy crap! He and his brother were the guys I was in line behind at Kali River Rapids August for last year! Being 6’9” myself, I don’t see many people taller than me, much less two right in front of me in a line. I don’t watch much NBA, so didn’t piece it together who they were til now (wrongly assumed they were probably on some college tournament at ESPN or something at they time). Randomly, I found where they were in the background of a couple of photos I took in the queue, here they are on the left, haha

Wow! Totally met Robin at D23! Super nice guy. Sucks he got unknowingly involved :/

Dunno.. there are many roads possible that could lead the police to more dirt...

- They will already have access to Spike's financial records which could turn up other transactions.. including things Brett possibly hasn't acknowledged. If so, then they will have more cause to investigate him more.

- Someone can flip... including Spikes. Whose to say he doesn't know others doing the same thing with mr. finley? If so, the prosecution will have more bartering power to give up on spikes to chase the bigger fish.

- You also now have big public figures involved, that would love to paint themselves as the victim and not the only one.. so if they have other leads of who might be socializing and discussing these buys with mr finley... you can bet those high profile people would be eager to name names to take the focus off them as the top of the pyramid.

Once they have their foot in the door with real evidence of crimes involving someone, the doors open quickly to expose more links and associates. Especially when the people are sloppy.

Clearly before the interview the police had knowledge, but not the concrete evidence in hand... but once they got the phone and more physical evidence... the doors swing open for more searches.

They've been slow to prosecute because it looks like they are still aiming bigger...

This is exactly what I mean. Finley has said all the right things so far but somewhere is evidence of collusion. And I'd bet money on it. It's just a matter of how investigators will discover it.

What are you talking about? You're trying to come back with the "I was right.." victim card? Have you forgotten what you've posted in the thread?

DFG being a dramatic teenager again? Say it ain't so.

They are big Disney nerds. Wouldnt be surprised if they're on this forum or something to that extent. Constantly traveling to the parks around the world. Even wore black suits when Ellen's Energy Adventure closed (RIP)

I buy stuff from people in parking lots all the time...

I bet GIANNIS has Buzzy. This all a Bucks conspiracy.

Orange County has a special place reserved for mr spikes. Hope he rots there for a long time.

If Spikes gets knocked out does he see multiple Orange Birds flying around his head?

Lemme just say, the title of this thread is wildly inaccurate. Let’s not make it a repeat of THAT thread either. By the way, spoke to Patrick again. He sends his love to this thread

Well this comment did not age well now did it? LMAO

Why do people still follow this parody on twitter? They were making all of BDD's t shirt merch.

Maybe because no one knew that Spikes was a thief at the time? I talked to him once or twice and sent pictures to him (while i was employed, I did not trespass).

This is called the guilty by association fallacy
