Quoted from thechakapakuni:

So based on your previous statements it’s sounds like you are involved here? If I were everyone here I would not take your word for anything. Sounds like a lot of cheerleading you are doing in opposition to getting the DOJ involved. When the DOJ takes over the case, there is no civil attorneys involved. The AG takes over, goes to a grand jury with the facts and victims/witnesses of the case, and an indictment is issued. This is the State of Florida doing this, not a civil attorney. Strange though you are really energetic on trying to convince people not to do this. I thought you bailed out of this conversation? For the rest of everyone else, not sure what you are waiting for. And taking advice from anybody but the authorities seems really bizarre at this point. If this were 1 or 2 cases, I’d say well try and get him to pay. I think we’re in double digits here and 6-7 figures in stolen money (that we know of). Contact the DOJ and let them shake the tree. And if this guy has zero money, we’ll don’t you at least want to see him do time?

Quoted from Aniraf:

This is a super trollish statement. You’re honestly saying that Pinside couldn’t include “a real reputable attorney” that got scammed in this way?
I tend to think a high percentage of people on pinside are possibly “real reputable attorneys” because these games cost a ton of money!

Quoted from snaroff:

Thank you. The effected Pinsiders are clearly being dealt with since the thread traffic from those owed money is way down.

With all this airplay on Pinside, do you really think people are still flocking to ASOA? Since ASOA doesn't have a store front (like Pinball Dudes down the road from me), Pinside was JD's store front. The police won't do squat.
