Well, here we are about to have the 38th convention of the Golden Glow Club and for the past 11 years I have been trying to clear my name from the slander and libel spread by the Board of Directors of the 2007 convention.
As most of you know and for those of you who do not know the club expelled me in 2007. They libeled me and slandered me. You can read about it in my blogs: http://goldenglowclub.blogspot.com.
Every year since I have sent an email to the President of the Board and Board members asking them to investigate the fraudulent charges. Not one reply from any Board President or board member to date.
Last year I sent Craig McManus three separate emails and a copy of the blog I intended to publish asking him to respond. He never did.
The fraud, the corruption, the con games, the sick pedophiles all remain part of the Golden Glow Club. The major sellers who have for decades defrauded the members still thrive and are protected by the corrupt Board members. Nothing has changed. Nothing has been investigated.
So another year goes by and no evidence of anything against me has been produced. Complete cowards at all levels by the Board members. It is what I expected. They continue to cover up for the previous corrupt board members: Kim Knight, Michael Rhoads, Steve Wilt, Jack Maroski, Lillie Ghidiu, Tony Annese and Steven Daniels.
They are all corrupt. They are all frauds. Rhoads is a sexual pervert. The Board of Directors protects the sexual perverts in the club. One convicted predator is still a "lifetime member". It is beyond belief.
On a separate note I will be adding to the blog a story about another shady dealer who collectors need to stay away from. He was accused of stealing a collection in Minnesota and has spent time in jail. His name is James Worman from Phoenix AZ. He is a fraud.
He also has a history with Scott Tagliapietra. Stay tuned.
If anyone knows how I can get in touch with a man named Michael Kaplan please let me know. He has an interesting story to tell.
For anyone who has any information about the corrupt club Board members or an interesting story send me an email to:goldenglowclub@gmail.com.

In response to having an item "carbon tested" to help determine the age thus determining if the item is genuine or not in theory sounds like a good idea; however, depending on cost it may not be feasible.
The problem Scott Tagliapietra has is that for decades he has been accused of fraudulently selling expensive items such as Santas as a genuine antique in original condition. He is a fraud. He has never even threatened me with a lawsuit because he knows he will have to perjure himself in court if he goes that route plus the fact that there have been dozens of people he has refunded funds for items that were fakes or re worked but sold as new when he got caught yet the club honchos some of which are also frauds look the other way. I have documented countless items Scott has sold as original as fakes or re worked. His former lover, Joey Zinn who worked for Scott for years repairing items has documented every single item he worked on with photos. The Golden Glow Club is run by a bunch of corrupt good old boys and girls who cover each other's asses. And the joke is some of them have been suckered by Tagliapietra as well but they are too embarrassed to admit it.
