Notes: Sentencing Delay; Roadshow Gold; Steiner Giving Mother’s Day Gifts

By

Sentencing for former Mastro Auctions employee Mark Theotikos has been delayed once again.

Theotikos, who pleaded guilty to one count of fraud last year in connection with the long-running shill bidding scheme at Mastro, was supposed to be sentenced last week but that’s been postponed until May 31.

Former CEO Bill Mastro is currently serving a 20-month federal sentence in Pekin, IL while ex-company president Doug Allen will report to prison next week to begin serving a 57-month term for mail fraud.
