I agree that Scott was a forger. I never saw any of his work that reflected mastery - and I never knew Scott to care much about mastery. I also never saw Scott (I knew him, spent time with him a fair numbers of times, bought some of his so-so fakes a few times) as having a conscience. In fact I believe that Scott absolutely reveled in stirring-the-pot by creating fakes that caused issues in the hobby. That seemed to be his greatest reward. He sold most of his work very cheaply - some at a break-even cost of gas and glass. His hyper-arguements with people were things of legends. Old timers here remember him being banned here for cause, starting his own website to continue arguments and attacks with language and the most awful things said about people's family members imaginable.
Selling Peltier NLR fakes for $3.00 is telling.
