Anthony J. Tremayne pleaded guilty to mail fraud for selling counterfeit memorabilia worth between $250,000 and $550,000. His scheme spanned from 2010 to 2019, misleading customers with fake signatures of athletes and celebrities, often paired with bogus certificates of authenticity. Investigators report that he marketed the memorabilia across Southern California and was found guilty in court, awaiting sentencing while currently free on bond. His fraudulent items included sports memorabilia and iconic celebrity items, drawing scrutiny from federal investigators and the FBI.
According to court documents, from 2010 until December 2019, the man advertised memorabilia in Orange County and Los Angeles County, sometimes including a 'certificate of authenticity' to certify the signatures were real.
Federal officials say the signatures were fake and the certificates were 'bogus.' The man admitted to selling more than $250,000 and up to $550,000 in fake memorabilia.
