By no means am I trying to say he is guilty of anything, it’s obvious all of the facts aren’t curently known by he general public.
But the article makes it sound like he WAS telling the customer the weight and basing the price off of that, otherwise how would the people operating the sting come to the conclusion that his scales read differently than others? If he wouldn’t allow them to be inspected officially than how would they come up with the fact that they are wrong othe than by him weighing out the gold and telling them an incorrect figure?
It’s one thing to offer 100 bucks for a ring, it’s another to weigh the ring, say it weights 2 grams and offer 100 bucks based on that.
Again, I don’t know what happened and I’m basing what I’m saying off of only one very sensationalized article until any further facts come up. When more information comes out and it turns out the truth is different than what has been released I’ll be the first to admit it.
