Nope...NOT Tom Huff
This scammer was David Huff from Virginia, and definitely NOT Tom Huff (cuemaker and cartoonist) from Washington State. I have never heard anything bad about Tom Huff. He makes a lot of lower end conversion cues, etc, usually a little off the beaten path. I think his specialties are carom cues and 3 piece travelling cues.

Charley,
Thanks for the article. You have done a great public service because now we know, and so do the crooks, con artists, and scammers, what happens when you defraud someone.
Here are links to the original thread. I am going to e-mail the link to your thread to some of these victims.

That's why the thread was so great. It was always one of my favorites. You guys stuck with it and no matter what he pulled, you had him figured. Rarely does one of these con artists come forward, but it was because your biting words brought him out in the open.
Both Jeff and BHW, victims of this guy, responded privately to my e-mails and were happy when they found out David Huff is busted.
Like I said, it kind of renews my faith. I wonder if Chady has seen this -it might encourage him to pursue his situation more agressively. I'll e-mail him.

Oh gosh, thats too bad.cuedoctor said:Just got in from pool and the big news was about David Huff. He was a scammer who ripped people off on ebay and then showed up here on this forum and robbed a few azer's of there money. Well, break out the champagne!!! He was on the front page of the News paper and pleaded guilty to 9 counts,5 felony's and 4 misdemeanors counts of fraud.He was taken straight to prison til he is sentenced!! From what I am told he's looking at 5 -15 years and its no vacation here in va. with prisons like Red Onion supermax ! Let this be a warning to those who try these scams that it aint no little slap on the wrist your gonna get
I know this is the forsale section but this involves buyers and sellers here and on ebay and think it will be read by those who know of his actions more here.

it wont be a victim of the crime that will bring on the charges, its either a state or federal matter, my guess is federal because he sold things out of state.
if the US Attornys office picked it up and they may have the article didnt say(poorly written article) but given the nature of the crimes because they were interstate crimes makeing them Federal crimes he was in deep so he no choice but to make a deal, if he went to trial on this game over, its a slam dunk case for the prosecuters/govt. he is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty, he probably made the plea because he was looking at alot of time and would have lost at the trial, the $$$ under false pretences isnt to bad, interstate wire fraud and $$$ laundering carry much heavier sentences, he had no choice but to take a deal, because of $$ laundering ,mail fraud, and interstate wire fraud its impossible to defend your self with those charges. I'm suprised the article didnt list all the charges, he probably got hit with mail fraud(another real bad charge) you dont get that much time for $$$ under false pretences(infact that carries alot less time thn laundering, and mail fraud-those are heavy), money laundering is a manditory 10 years. I'd like to see the list of all charges.
i know about this because i worked in telemarketing years ago, i know a few people still in for the same charges, this guy is an idiot popping people for 400-$800 dollars, hell we were getting checks in the door for $5,000 each, one week I brought in $60,000 its funny how the Govt works these cases the $$$ amount has no effect on the sentance you get so if your goona scam go big the charges are the same no matter how much $$$ the case is about, unlike the drug business getting popped with 50 keys of blow is alot worse than 2 8balls of it. White collar crime is differnt becasue if you launder $3,000 or $3,000,000 its the same charge and the sentencing guid lines are different than drug related crimes.
glad they popped him
