<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 112594, member: 23"]OMG. Keya Morgan pops up. There was a huge, I mean HUGE brouhaha about him on Ebay a few years back. He photoshops himself into pictures with celebrities. His real thing is to "find" historic photos that no one else has and offer them for large amounts of money. Oh, my. We caught him out on a photo of young, black children in cotton fields that he claimed was original and rare and turned out to be a copy of half of a stereopticon card that was in a museum. One journalist picked up the story and it went viral for awhile until we all got letters from his lawyer telling us to cease and desist or be sued. Actually, I got an email from someone purporting to be a lawyer. The journalist and I were emailing back and forth and she freaked because they threatened to ruin her career. Just for entertainment purposes, look him up online. He also had a bit part as a teenager (VERY bit - he walked by on a sidewalk) in an Al Pacino movie and used it to claim mini-star status. He alleges he and Al are BFFs. I could go on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
