Yes Denny that is the one. I always got his catalogs to see what the latest and greatest fakes were. He started out with a mix of mostly original stuff then ended with mostly fakes.

The tumbnail sketch is that he was killed by a fellow that he knew and let into his rural home. The motive was a mixture of a grudge and a robbery. Cheating people out of money is a dangerous business over time. I remember a fellow (read that as victim) coming up to me at a gun show with ten or twelve swords and around eight of them were Joe's expensive fakes. He was devistated and more than a little upset.

We reap what we sow.
