I just read through that whole thing. If it were me who got ripped...I'd probably be buying a plane ticket.

I have been folowing that thread for awhile, Pretty cool how everyone is pooling together and making sure this douche does not get away scott free... :thumb:
Scammers should be delt with like cattle thieves back in the day, especialy the dumbasses from south america with the non stop emails 
the sad thing is none of them prolly will not see any thing back.
LE really cant do anything either. Its a civil matter and each person would have to take him to court to attempt to get their money back..
A thought though...Could the forum owners file a civil suit against him as a club or organization? Or would it be individual cases?

One of them... Bigpower...the owner of PSN is taking him to court along with reporting him to all the LE in the area. They have even posted the link to the local tv stations Facebook page along with making their own FB page about Tyler the thief.
Whats he going to report to LE?? "Some guy stiffed me for 450 over the net"? The cops hands are tired in this one. Its civil, he would need to sue him and have him served, which will cost close to half of what he lost already, plus all his time involved. It sucks its like that, but I see it as these guys all got screwed. If they can sue under an organization, maybe its high enough to be fraud or larceny or something where they can file criminal charges too...
They kind of made a mistake dealing with someone without a reputation, they should have used a credit card for protection. Its none of the involved first rodeo, they should know better really. Other guys in the thread seen him coming a mile away. Did they even research the parts for sale and see if it looked too good to be true, or did they see a ridicules deal and throw the money as fast as they could...?
I hope everything works out for them and they get their money back but lets be logical..
At this point it's not about the money with Bigrpowr it's personal. I'm pretty sure it's against the law to take money from an individual and not supply the product offered.
Either way I think it's funny as hell to read.

The organization has not suffered any damage so it really would not have a claim to make. I do agree though that LE probably won't get involved to a great degree unless there are dozens of people who have been scammed. However, if the kid was booked for something, restitution is usually part of the sentencing. Still unlikely any of these guys will see their money again though.
has anything happened to the kid or it just a bunch of threats? I stop reeding it after i seen it was over 135 pages
I dont think hes too worried about taking him to court or the money... Payback can be hell... im sure that kid would love to give the money back after harrassment he has recieved. Dapilot said he was going to get him put on the no fly list.... :roflmao: I doubt he can really do that, but damn that would be funny! Even if nothing happens now... He lives in the same city where the biggest diesel event in the country happens Terre Haute, im sure there will be plenty in town looking to track him down then.
