emailed the thief today and advised him that i was going to start up a case with the local sheriffs dept since he refuses to refund and also for the simple fact that it looks like he sold the same bat to myself and another board bro. as it stood, he would have been looking at theft and also internet fraud and whatever else they would come up with. since i work for the department of corrections, getting the ball rolling would have been pretty easy. gave him an hour to send refund in available funds not pending. within the hour, he sent me a refund but its pending till the 6th. as far as im concerned, the money is not in my account so he still owes me. if and when this clears, he is still NGTG and as far as im concerned, will always be NGTG. will probably have him put on file for this incident regardless. hope my funds clear and hope everyone else that he has screwed gets what due to them also. mahalo for everyones help and ill update when and if funds clear. aloha
