Not sure why you are trying to excuse what he did, he was also asked if the Phantom arm was for sale as well and he just said “no “ as a reply. He clearly couldn’t sell it as it didn’t belong to him and he didn’t have it. He could of said at that stage that he had used someone’s else’s photo of the turntable but he didn’t. He just carried on making people believe that the turntable pictured for sale was his.
As for the perjudice you raised, no one anywhere mentioned this except you, so you’ll have to answer that one by yourself and make your own conclusions on how you got there.
Anyway I’m done on the matter, I’m sure people here are intelligent enough to make up their own minds.
