Subject: [NYLINE] Book Thief Alert

To:[log in to unmask]

Forwarding this July 5 notice as an FYI.

"Colleagues:

Please be aware that convicted fraudster and thief John Gilkey is

operating once again, likely out of northern California. A comic

book dealer in New York state is his latest victim. Besides

defrauding book dealers, Gilkey has also left his dubious mark in

the print, stamp, and comics trades. He was arrested late last

year in San Francisco following a parole violation, but was

released after he (or someone) posted $75,000.00 bail. He then

disappeared, but is active once again.

He is a serious criminal who continually looks for new

opportunities and deceptions. An investigation by the SFPD is

ongoing; there is an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Please

do your friends the favor of re-posting this note to any and all

lists of allied trades and organizations. Thank you very much.

John Waite

Security Committee, ABAA
