Forwarding this July 5 notice as an FYI.

"Colleagues:
Please be aware that convicted fraudster and thief John Gilkey is 
operating once again, likely out of northern California. A comic 
book dealer in New York state is his latest victim. Besides 
defrauding book dealers, Gilkey has also left his dubious mark in 
the print, stamp, and comics trades. He was arrested late last 
year in San Francisco following a parole violation, but was 
released after he (or someone) posted $75,000.00 bail. He then 
disappeared, but is active once again.

He is a serious criminal who continually looks for new 
opportunities and deceptions. An investigation by the SFPD is 
ongoing; there is an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Please 
do your friends the favor of re-posting this note to any and all 
lists of allied trades and organizations. Thank you very much.
