[meteorite-list] Million Dollar Fake Meteorite Bust

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

Seriously, WHO would buy a $4.5M meteorite?  

Maybe a $450 fake  meteorite, or a $45,000 fake meteorite, but $4,500,000???

And then WHY  would anyone do it?

IMO, it should only be illegal to sell a  "metal container filled with a 
black, greasy substance wrapped in carbon  paper" as a meteorite if the same 
law allows the buyer to be arrested for  stupidity. <g>
