This is from last year, but is more than I had previously seen on the fraud charges:

  A little high on the markup, I would say.
  Thats a shame, a guy trying to do good for the community.
  Then some jerk, that he trusted, rips him a good one.
  Sounds like he is get his in the end.

  Wilson has been one of the most published and recognized experts on Colts and other antique guns as well as having published company hisorys. He pretty much put that in the hopper.

  Wasn't he also guilty of swapping bad for good guns in museum collections?

  Yes, he looted the Colt Museum over 25 years ago, but before it was discovered, the statuate of limitations had run out, so he was never charged[V][:(!][V]. Somewhere in my e-notes, I have a copy of the article discussing it. Simply put, Larry Wilson has been a crook for a long long time, but somehow managed to avoid getting caught. He has also filed for bankruptcy more than once. He hust finished a 1-year sentence, but is up on more charges for a different scam. I suspect he will get more jail time[^].
