Kenneth didn't think of himself as a criminal. He thought of himself as an entrepreneur. He was a clearinghouse, if you will. He received items that were unwanted by their current owners, paying them short on the dollar— sometimes mere pennies— for profit.

But it was apparently not clear to Judge Edmond T. Leonard, who decided Kenneth's fencing of stolen goods was not only not entrepreneurial, but quite criminal— to the tune of seven and a half years in state prison.

For the foreseeable future, Kenneth was out of business.
