Margie loves watching “Antiques Roadshow,” where various people dig up haserei <\/i>from their attics, knick-knacks from their basements, or “that thing handing up on the wall that Uncle Fester gave us for our wedding” and bring them in to be appraised (if not identified).<\/p>\n

Now comes the shocking news of fraud and bogus appraisals<\/a> on the show.<\/p>\n

Russell Pritchard III, 39, pleaded guilty to making the bogus appraisals on the PBS TV series “Antiques Roadshow.” He also admitted defrauding artifact owners by giving them low appraisals on items, then reselling them at much higher prices and pocketing the profit.
\nAccording to prosecutors, Pritchard made between dlrs 800,000 and dlrs 1.5 million on the fraudulent transactions. He could have gotten up to 135 years in prison and more than dlrs 5.2 million in fines.<\/p>\n

Say it ain’t so, Joe — er, Russell.<\/p>\n

What next? Discovering that Martha Stewart really sits around on a Barca-lounger in her ratty old robe sipping White Zin from Dixie Cups whilst watching WWE?<\/p>\n
