Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

I have.

I just found out after typing 'Simon Easton' into Google that the man who sold me two genuine, authentic Seditionaries shirts has, in fact, sold hundreds or more fake shirts to unsuspecting customers over the last 5 or 6 years, including such esteemed museums and auction houses Sotheby's, Christie's, and the V&A Museum.

He used to sell under eBay under the names 'Punk-Pistol', 'Punk-seditionaries', and another one which I am not recalling. His shirts and bondage trousers would sell for hundreds of pounds and US dollars. He did a lot of business in Japan, where the buyers would snatch up his goods.

However, I did notice that his various aliases on eBay would be terminated and he would reappear under a different name.

I will continue this post in a bit...
