I use that term loosely.
I'll go back to the fact that interference with police duties is already illegal, regardless of distance. Now, just being within a predetermined, relatively large distance away, regardless of action, will land someone a charge.
It was not finalized, nor was it paid in full, it was a deposit for a hold, after others had allegedly spoken for it, there is a difference.
While I can't say 100% that greed played a role in the decision to accept the deposit, and push away the other alleged potential buyers, I will say, after...

I have learned much in life, and still have yet more to learn, however, one of the most life changing lessons I have learned is to do my best to do right by others, even if they have not done right by me (some exemptions may apply to extreme cases).
Generally, I am happy to lose a couple bucks...
