Wow, the delusion is unreal.
First, read this thread. Two individuals were banned from heritage for attempting to ruin this auction by shill bidding. More specifically, if anyone read Heritage’s terms and conditions, they go after anyone that does not pay; this is not ebay. Needless to say, it is not possible to shill bid with Heritage. they legally pursue anyone who does not pay. The banned bidders, who were most likely influenced by people mentioned in the op were removed immediately by heritage.
Furthermore, I recorded myself watching the live bid.
