So sorry to hear of this, I actually live in Gresham, Oregon. Very curious as to who this scammer is, hope everyone gets made whole!

OP
Quoted from AstonEnthusiast:
Hey all,
Like many of you, I collect arcade games as well as pins. An Oregon collector lured about 80 of us out of approx $450-500K in several weeks, states he used the funds on another investment and now all the games were lost in a "fire" on Thursday evening. This is after pushing off STI for 3 weeks as they attempted to pick up the games many times. If you remain nice to him, you may have a remote chance to get your money back is the official position offered, though only to select individuals. I was blinded by the ability to pick up some rare titles and never wired anyone funds before, so please let this be a wake up call for others. I'm out over $7k. Hoping my loss can be a reminder for others:

Sadly, if others on PS have experience dealing with similar situations and actionable next steps, please PM me.

In Oregon, most of us have a combo grow op/arcade.

Quoted from ZNET:
Lots of marijuana smoke, no doubt inhaled by the games in the fire. I hear that a Donkey Kong turned into a Chiller. ;>

I don't believe that it's Limo/Scuba Steve, he's based in the Salem area as far as I am aware.

blockquote cite="#7073397">Is this same Steve as Limo Steve?
He used to post on CL all the time.

I'm curious about the grow op, if it was sizeable enough to start a fire I'd have to assume it was a (legal) commercial operation. If so, it'll be interesting to see how insurance works out here.

Curious? Certainly not enough to physically go snooping around a spot with that much heat on it (pun intended).

Quoted from flynnibus:
For all we know it could have just been a single electrical appliance/wire fire that spread to a wall or just 10sq ft of the place.
We all hear 'warehouse fire' and we all immediately leap to 'catastrophic gutting'. But it could have been much smaller, or anything inbetween. My speculation is they had a fire in part of the building and the damage we are talking about is just the overflow that happens when fireman spray thousands gallons of water into a flat floor space
And oregon allows quite a bit of growth for personal use - https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/DISEASESCONDITIONS/CHRONICDISEASE/MEDICALMARIJUANAPROGRAM/Documents/Plant-Limit-Chart.pdf
You're local - have you not had the curiosity to go look yourself?
