I didn't start this thread to put any light on me, thanks for the kind words though... My wife suffered the most through this because when we took it we had none of the information that cache had from paypal. If we had that data the situation would have been much easier. The frustrating part about all of it is that Chris never called and said here is the data in excel or I made a mistake and I need to rectify or anything. Here is a copy of the last email that I received from him after I became curious.
Hi Doug.
Things are not good right now. Please read carefully...
NOT TO BE REPEATED TO ANYBODY!!!
We have moved to a small house with very low rent. I have not worked more than two weeks since the beginning of October. The IRS has seized my assets and accounts. This goes back to the problems I had 3 years ago, and had not paid attention to them until the knock on my front door last month. It was careless on my part for sure, but they gave no warning and just came without warning and without any concession.
TO ANYONE THAT IS INQUIRING!:
I owe two exhaust systems to raffle winners. One system is in my garage, but I cannot afford to ship it. The other system I still need to aquire.
I have not visited the board at all in probably a month. Not even as a guest. I am ashamed at my current situation, and hope that you have not been put into any uncomfortable position because of this.
A friend of mine, as well as a h.org member, left me a voice mail yesterday warning me that there was some things being said on the board against me. I have no idea what was said, but at this point all I care about is finishing what I need to do to get things into order.
Having been a customer that recieved bad or slow service several times in the past, the best resolution to those instances was to be taken care of without a bunch of excuses. Doug, you could say I am avoiding excuses and not even knowing what is being said about me. I know what must be done, and it will be done very soon.
If there is something else I should know in the meantime, please say so.
I'll talk to you soon.
Chris.

Now it's been 4 months, that email was on Dec 30th and I haven't heard a word from him. Not a single email, not a phone call, nothing.. I have an 800 number that he knows, he knows my email and for goodness sake he could have found 20 minutes in the past 4 months to go to the library to send an email on a free mail service...... I just can't imagine someone running off with 5k of cash and parts owed to customers and still have a conscience. He has to live with himself and know deep down that he may have gotten away with a little cash but he sold his honor, integrity and trust for a measly 5k....... Thousands of folks all over the country look at this situation and can easily see what he is made of..
If he called today there would be no way that we would ever be friends, we are way past that... He hurt my wife and for that he's history from this board, however he owes it to himself and his family name to come clean and send me the money he owes me. Just think about the disgrace to your family name that he has to live with that.......
