However, since so many of us are affected, if we all escalate to a claim they will shut his current paypal account down and any money currently in the account will be divided amongst all. This is small consolation to the group of us that are affected. The best course of action is to apply pressure on him in the UK. I have not had any contact at all since November. Has anyone had contact with Joe? How many of us are affected? I have counted nine but someone mentioned at least 19-20 deals...

Ok im going to post this ONE time in this thread....
Im the BTer thats in regular contact with him. Before anyone thinks im in out it, think again. He also got me for 200 in supply costs on a commission he wanted me to do.
That said, im working with him and everyone that has sent me a PM to get whats possible back. Money wise. gone. Dont expect any kind of money.
Those that paid for models, he does have some of them. I note some because he for sure double sold things, and also sold things he didnt have.
He didnt do this to brag, he told me this because frankly he is terrified as he should be. A cousin to one of the victems lives less then 6 miles from him. Not to menthion other BTers around here either llive in the UK or near here.
For the record he hit at least 19-24 people. (his own words)
On his behalf he is a kid and simply didnt think he could get into trouble once it all got overloaded.
Im very close to getting at least a few of the models back which I will then send to the rightful owners. After that he really does want to settle up money wise each time he gets a paycheck.
Now with all that said, if this fails and he is simply BSing me, remember, dont kill the messanger as im simply helping the BT community.
One more small FYI, ive comunicated tons of info to thost that need to know and a few others. There is no need at all to post it all here unless either Lin or MM tell me to.
Final note, anyone else trying to organize this, go ahead. But remember one thing, who has actually talked to him in the last week or so? Who had him post he was trying to resolve this? and most importantly, who had him take pics of the models he does actually have.
There are more pics of a baneblade too. Im waiting for pics of the rest of the stuff as I had him take those about an hour ago, so it would have been like 6 am there.
He really does seem like he is trying to resolve there.
