Scammed nearly the entire old board out of several grand in a magazine refinishing scam. Some estimates were as high as 5 or 6 figures. Kept the mags, kept the cash. |

That was right as I started here. How come nobody shot his ass? Or at least had him arrested. I know people were spotting him at various gunshows. Just curious? |

I never understood that either. All these internet tough guys, and yet somehow Paul managed to never get his ass kicked.

That's easy - you'll note that Mr. Pudhorn is the one going to jail, and not some arfcom member. |

Yep... he's getting his... but no doubt he enjoyed everyone's money before karma caught up with him. Probably sold all the mags for some more money too. So who has the void in their wallets again?
Seriously though, what prevented the board from pressing charges? |

AFAIK, all this was before my time. I will suggest that someone who was around then - preferably someone who was stung by this bastard should write a calm, articulate letter to the prosecutor settong out the scam in a short paragraph or two, and closing with something like "Mr. Prudhorn may be guilty of nothing more than a record-keeping violation in the case you now have, but I doubt it. He is fundamentally dishonest, and a thief. I suspect, based on his track record, that something more than meets the eye is going on here. In any event, I hope that you will take his past deceit in mund at sentencing time."
Wouldn't it be nice to contemplate his standing before the magistrate hearing a prosecutor say "And furthermore, your Honor, he stole from people on AR15.com"? |

I agree with the post above that a thread should be started HERE ON ARFCOM concerning/listing his scamed victims stung here years back. IIRC there were claims in the thousands that could be added to his current charges. I was not one of those "stung" but I bet those that read this thread would like to add to the .gov's settelement w/him in the coming years.......but knowing the .gov they'll just give him a bitch slap and take any license's (FFL,C&R,CCW) he may have away and offer probabation.

Yeah, but the longer it takes the worse it gets. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I followed the whole episode myself but never sent the m/f any mags. |

My thought is that they had to know they were getting firearms off paper unless he told them all that they were from his personal collection. I fill out all my 4473s myself. If I wasnt asked I'd be suspicious. |

There was a thread a while back where one of the ARF members had sighted POS Podhorn at a gun show and was going to go there and apply a real life ass-whipping to him.
The general general consensus of the board was for the ARF NOT to go kick his ass, so it didn't happen. I also remember that the US Postal Service was involved. I wonder how many people still have their complaints they sent in to the USPS. |
