Anybody can sell me anything for more than it's worth.

I am curious to find out why they prosecuted him for fraud rather than for coining money, which is a right specifically granted to the Congress in the Constitution.

There is a press statement by the Feds floating around someplace here. The jest of it was because he was trying to undermine the U.S. currency and the IRS.

I have a whole barn full of 'anythings' for which I will happily take more than they are worth.

For good measure, I'll even let you pay more than it's worth to ship them to you, too!

Bet you don't find bargains like this every day!

What's more, I'll even accept valueless FRN's for payment!!!!
