Quoted from snaroff:

And what would that be, exactly? I'm curious.
This premise that these games were stolen is ludicrous. The last game I purchased from JD/ASOA (JP2 Premium) on 12/3/19 was sent directly from Stern!
I understand that you and everyone else with "no horse in this race" would love to solve this puzzle, but I'm afraid none of us are close enough to the action to know what happened.
No matter what the price, if I suspected something was stolen, I would have NOTHING to do with the transaction. Even if the game were "free"![quoted image]

Quoted from Aniraf:

I have all three Stern LEs I bought from JD before the fourth purchase that went bad. What can I do with the serial numbers to determine the distributor? All three games shipped directly from Stern. All three games have been registered with Stern. All three games have been supported by Stern. I have always listed ASOA as my distributor even when I started doing the operator and tournament stuff.
Stern never said a word about my games being stollen or coming from a weird place. As many have articulated, things were good until a sudden stop.
As a first time Stern buyer there was zero indication of foul play. JD started to get fishy around January 2020 for me. That was when I was getting the “it should be shipping next week” type of lies.

Quoted from NoQuarters:

Sending pins to a residental address with curbside and lift gate services requested and phone contacts that are not ASOA and different names might be a clue and also they are spread out to various different states across the country.
Highly probable that distro knew. Guessing Stern got wind of this and put a stop to it.

Quoted from NoQuarters:

Are the payments still coming to those owed ?

Quoted from crwjumper:

I am the OP of the original thread: “Beware of Jonathan Demare / ASOA” which was locked due to a lynch mob mentality that was developing in that thread. This thread was opened to continue the discussion in a more civil manner.
Today Jonathan made his final payment to me and no longer owes me any of the money that I had given him for pinball machines.
If you are unfamiliar with my original situation, please feel free to read the original thread.
