Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I still can't get over the fact that when Ice was bellowing and blustering about the forthcoming release of Alien remake 2 years ago, it was because he believed the con that ASOA had 6 of them in the shop and was testing them for imminent release. In fact, just send me money and you'll get one of the first!!!
It is kind of hilarious that this lie made it all the way through the Kaneda pipeline. I always thought Ice set him up but he really did just allow himself to get conned.

Quoted from fosaisu:

You’ve mistaken Levi for Kaneda (who actually did welch on an ass-tatt promise, which his many Pinside listeners regrettably haven’t held him to).

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

I wanted to chime in that I’ve still never been ripped off by ASOA, and have no need for restitution.

Quoted from Cobray:

People have been paid back, but the ones that lost out on their "Dream" or rare/LE game that ended up skyrocketing in price are the ones that it really hurt. POTC, TBL, MM-royale, etc.
Man it would suck to think you had a POTC, TBL, or MM-Royale at the old/intro price only to be hosed because you picked JD.
