Quoted from iceman44:

Hmmm, here's a thought, he was an "authorized distributor" for JJP.
Maybe i should include JJP in on any lawsuit for POTC and WOZ?
Once again, just rampant nonsense but thanks for the advice. I've bought MANY games over the past decade and I always come out on the plus side. One way or the other, this time will be no different.
But you can root for my failure, it's ok. lol
Either way, it won't affect my enjoyment of pinball!

Quoted from Dooskie:

Personally, I think this guy might have started out with decent intentions. Then he either got in over his head, or he saw an opportunity to take advantage of folks. Either way, in my opinion, he's at the very least not a good business person. And based on everything I've read in these two threads, he's not very honest, or isn't as honest as he should be. Interesting couple of threads though. It would seem that there are some shenanigans involved at some level.

Quoted from iceman44:

Interesting. Hadn’t even seen this thread.
Happy to hear that you guys have been getting paid back in full. That’s great!
Do I share the same sentiments of Bill and Brian now? No
Jonathan has kept his word since making the repayment agreement, handled everything in a professional way and is in the process of redeeming a previously bad situation
I am his biggest creditor now and he has made excellent progress towards getting me paid back in full as well. And I’m happy with where things stand now.
He’s back to being a friend again and I’m happy that he was able to survive Covid and start the comeback trail with his business and for his family.
That’s just me. Life goes on

Quoted from iceman44:

I said “Lately” numb nuts. How long ago was that? It still doesn’t show up in my feed for some reason. I have to search for it.
So…..what’s your f ing problem?
I’m getting paid back as his biggest creditor and others have been paid in full.
Does reading comprehension escape you? Lol
What is 2+2? Duh

Quoted from iceman44:

Dude, wtf is your problem? Seriously. I got lucky?

Quoted from iceman44:

I know full well what i've written and said in the past and where things stand today. So does everybody else who has been a part of this.

Quoted from iceman44:

Do you understand the phrase "chump change"? If you don't then look it up

Quoted from iceman44:

Pinball isn’t a really a $$ thing for me

Quoted from Dexter:

I consider Jonathan a friend and believe he has made right any wrong he once did

Quoted from crwjumper:

I got a call today from a guy in N.Y. Who Jonathan is courting to invest $100,000 in an arcade venture. Before investing the money however, he thought that it would be a good idea to get any information he could on his potential new business partner.
He did a google search on Jonathan Demare and found my original thread and this one.
Looks like Jonathan is back to his old tricks again. He must believe that the dust has settled after him lying low for a while and the time is right to jump back into “the game”.
When the potential investor reached out to me I thought about what I should tell him.
I remembered how nice Jonathan was and almost felt pity for him until I also remembered how he used his smooth tongue to make dear friends of me and then attempt to steal over $150,000 from me and another 15 of his Pinside “friends”.
I thought back and remembered the many months (actually over 2 years) of anguish that I went through and how angry, sad, upset and financially stung we all felt over those two years when he had taken all of our money and refused to give any of it back or to deliver the pins he had promised us.
I remembered all of the lies and stalling B.S. he told me whenever I was able to contact him.
I remembered how many sleepless nights and days of mental anguish I endured over how he had stolen so much from me.
I thought about how many times my wife and I argued over the money that I had lost by trusting him.
I remembered that some of my fellow Pinsiders also had marital problems and almost family breakups over this thief taking advantage of us.
The potential investor and I talked for a bit.
