Barry Halper
Welcome to wikipedia. I made some changes to what you added to the Barry Halper page. See the discussion page for an explanation, or to discuss further if you're interested. Anson2995 (talk) 01:04, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Anson-

These accusations have been made almost exclusively by Peter Nash, a former rapper turned memorabilia collector, culminating in an article that Mr. Nash wrote for the New York Post in July 2011. The New York Post has since removed Mr. Nash's entire article from its website. Murray Chass, the long-time baseball writer for the New York Times, opined that Mr. Nash's article in the New York Post was "journalistically indefensible" and "defamed the late Barry Halper." Mr. Nash's credibility and motivations against Halper have been questioned, given that he has been involved in a long-running litigation with the memorabilia auction house that was instrumental in preparing, organizing, and cataloging Halper's memorabilia auction at Sotheby's in 1999. In that litigation, Mr. Nash admitted in court papers to committing fraud against the auction house, and he invoked the Fifth Amendment in response to questions about his own memorabilia transactions to avoid incriminating himself. An outstanding arrest warrant for Mr. Nash exists in connection with that litigation. [20 ]


 * Thanks for your work on this article. I think you've helped to make it better. I understand the facts, but your original edits eliminated Nash's allegations then refuted them. It didn't read well that way.  With regards to the NY Post removing the article, have they made any statement about Nash or published any other follow up articles?  Otherwise, it could be just a broken link rather than a repudiation of the content. O'Keefe's articles at the Daily News are still online. Anson2995 (talk) 12:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
