I posted back in March of last year when I got sick of his promises. I had ordered a Wonka LE from him and after multiple failed promises I contacted JJP and found out that he was in fact not an authorized vendor. I actually spoke with Jersey Jack and he wanted nothing to do with Jonathan. Long story (http://villagebbs.com/forum/index.php/topic,43886.0.html) short I got a Stern game instead and nothing but excuses for the remaining money that was owed to me. This was prior to COVID so no excuses there. It took the post on the Village (local pinball forum) to get paid.

I only believe I got paid because I was the first to publicly speak out. Jonathan called and texted me constantly begging me to delete the thread and he would get me paid. He was extremely worried about his public appearance. I told him I would update that thread once I had received my money back which happened that day. The admins over there seem to be very friendly with Jonathan as they immediately shut down the thread and quickly killed another that came up.

Looking back at the several deals I did with him, all of which were substantially below market value for NIB games, I'm now convinced that he was buying games and selling them below what he paid to those who he called "friends". There were others locally who he didn't offer the same low prices. This is giving him the benefit of believing that he actually was obtaining the games, that he did deliver, legally.

Since my posting on the Village I received at least a dozen emails and some phone calls from others that had been scammed out of money. I don't understand why but everyone of them was afraid to speak out in public, or were willing to believe that he would eventually make them whole.

I certainly hope everyone gets their money back but in my experience (and further evidenced in this thread) the only thing that Jonathan responds to are threats and/or direct action that calls him out and exposes him in public.
