Whether $120, $250 or whatever amount is or isn't a lot of money is irrelevant. From what I see, this guy commit larceny and should be arrested/sued. Those who think I lack compassion can kiss my ass. This guy's a dead beat who made one lousy post to try and calm people down (in between what seems to be a 3 month span). We all go through tough times. I'm sick of hearing people b**** and moan about it. If you don't have your health that's one thing but if you do... and you're still bitchin!! get over yourself already and get hustlin!!! Hard work ALWAYS keeps food on the table and a roof over your head. I don't know how many times I read "Corey is a stand up guy". or something to that effect. You either are or you aren't. Anyone who still thinks he is after all this BS is smokin crack.
To all those who have been victimized, I urge you to take matters into your own hands. I've been in a similar situation before. I didn't press charges because the person stayed in contact with me and constantly reassured me that things would "work out". Well, though it took longer than I had hoped, things did eventually work out. I'm glad I didn't ruin a business friendship by jumpin the gun. However, I would have had no choice if I wasn't kept in the loop on a regular basis. (we're talkin every week or so). It's just common courtesy.
Personally, I'm SHOCKED that a few of you told this guy to keep your money. Everyone is entitled to their own oppinon and can do whatever the F they want... but in my oppinon, you're letting him off easy. Reading those posts reminded me of when Sam Jackson's character gave the diner robber guy his $1500 in Pulp Fiction. I understand why he did it in the movie (I guess) but I can't understand why you guys did it here. So what if he's down on his luck?!! You're gonna excuse him and let him keep the money he essentially stole from you anyway???? Perhaps "letting him keep the money" was just a way to justfiy things a bit in your own minds in an effort to curtail negative emotions streaming through your heads basically perpetuating the notion that you got had. I don't know... that matter is irrelevant at this point.
The steps you all need to take, assuming you're willing to drop the hammer, are this:
1) Call the police and have him arrested for larceny. (you bought goods from him and never received them) He essentially stole your money.
2) Wait... they'll investigate and file a bunch of paperwork you'll use in step 3.
3)Since the matter is way too small for a civil law suit (Even with 10 or so of you) you'll need to take matters to small claims. That'll be a b****! But, in the end, with all the evidence the cops compiled, the case will be a layup. You'll not only be entitled to full reimbursement but also compensatory damages (judge's call)
Lastly, some of you may feel what I wrote was a bit harsh. Obviously you've never been robbed before. If you had, you'd want the dickless, spinless piece of s*** who robbed you to burn in hell. (a punishment far worse than being arrested and sued in small claims court) I urge all of you to put yourself in the victims shoes. If some of you "bleeding heart" types don't need to be put in their shoes because you were one of the victims as well, think again. Perhaps you're a bit better off than the rest. Perhaps a couple hundred dollars isn't that much to you. But maybe a couple thousand would be!! It's all relative! I guarantee you that you have a price. We ALL do. If someone robs me blind and takes $10... I'll get over it. $100? My week's ruined but I'll live. $1000???? They better invest in a suit of armor cuz I'm comin for their spleen!!! L8R
