There are many replies on many, many threads that Quad_M and I had years ago, where I called him out on many, many issues and felt something was shady. I didn't cut him any slack. I had a lot of members lay into me and tell me I was wrong at the time. They have since apologized and they have since hired me as a private investigator for their personal matters .
It got to the point where Mark, he and I took it offline on PM to handle it. This was of course while he was still selling his kits with 6-9 month delays to members, before he finally disappeared with over 40+ members money. How much did he run off with again? $100,000 of members money? Makes me nauseas thinking about it. Worse scam ever on this forum. Nothing will ever top it.

Good heavens. I hope someone called the police and/or the FBI. That's enough $$$ that the authorities might have been interested.

I believe a bunch of police reports were filed. A thread was started and a few members took it offline to get everyone's full names and info, that was affected by this. Those were bad times on this forum. People were so furious.

Me too. I have case where I am pursuing a bastard who stole tens of millions of dollars -- the kicker: the bastard was a well-known car enthusiast/collector. These kinds of thieves really do fascinate me as I don't understand how they sleep at night. But they do.
