The dealer is dangerous as he 1. knowingly bilks people out of their hard earned money (and this is a RICH man's hobby...no arguement there, I hope). It's undetectable until someone compolains to someone else, etc...God only knows how much damage can be done until he gets shut down via word-of-mouth only then to re-surface sometime in the future under an assumed name and 2. sells animals with crypto or some other sickness spread via airborne spores which can (not always) infect the rest of said person's collection.

The unscrupulous dealer is also a "snake" in the figurative sense.

Maurice Cullen (Beaver) once told me "Snake people are sometimes snakes, themselves".
