Copyright Theft
Perhaps we should be flattered by the number of people including dealers who continually infringe our IP (Intellectual Property) rights by using our copyright images, but we do not find it amusing, and will take legal action against any copyright thieves.

Spinelli International Company, Federico Spinelli, (fspinelli.en.ec21.com)
Spinelli International Company, Federico Spinelli, (fspinelli.en.ec21.com) of Marina Chieti, Italia are just one of the many coin dealers & jewellers worldwide who commit copyright theft by using our copyright images without our permission.
One of their pages on ec21.com which we reproduce here, is clearly using our Johnson Matthey 100 Gram Gold Bar photograph.

Copyright Abuse is Dishonest
There is a copyright notice at the bottom of all the pages of ec21.com, but it obviously relates to ec21.com rather than its individual members or advertisers.
We have not had time to check but most sites of this type have some rules about respecting copyright, and their members normally have to agree not to infringe copyright as part of signing up.
Spinelli on the other hand seems not to care about copyright. Any established company of any size would be aware of copyright, and be careful about committing copyright abuse.

Who Are Or Is Spinelli?
It is grandly titled, but our guess is that it consists of one person in a grotty apartment living a kind of Walter Mitty existence whereby he deludes himsefl into believing he is a real bigshot businessman doing vast international import export deals.
Whooever Fedorico Spinelli is, he appears to not have the money or intelligence to create a company website.
The wording for this gold bar offers is hugely hilarious, like the script of some long forgotten gangster B-movie.
The very mention of "Swiss Procedure" make us almost die laughing. (Perhaps he is trying to impress a girl into a date, or a rich widow into marrying him).
For your delight entertainment and information, we will quote the text of his advert. We know he is Italian, but he could have checked his spelling of English words using a spell-checker (they are available free online):

What's Wrong?
We have invested considerable time, effort, money, and other resources into creating some of the best photographs of coins and gold bars on the internet. We employ a number of specialist photographers, currently two of them with three photography degrees between them. Even then, we have a perpetual backlog of items waiting to be photographed, processed, and added to our websites. It is therefore extremely annoying and frustrating to find competitors stealing our images to use in direct competition with us.
It's strange that considering Spinelli International Company only seems to trade in 1 kilo and 12 kilo gold bars, that he could only afford to steal our photo of a measly 100 gram bar. We would have thought he could have afforded to nick a picture of a bigger bar.
