Has anyone considered contacting the local news media. I know here there is a call for action team from 1 of the local news stations near me that exposes fraud and criminal activity. Maybe if the local police department had to answer to the media they might do something. Dunno just throwing it out there.
Quoted from ForceFlow:If it were a construction company, for example, then I'd say go for it, since everybody has an idea of what that is and knows there are both good and bad people in the business.
Pinball just isn't big enough to have a whole lot of general awareness (yet), so any negative press is likely to do more harm than good as a whole to the hobby and community.
I think I pretty much said the same thing in the JPop thread a while back.
I think your possibly missing the point here. Contractors get called out on a 10k 20k whatever swindle. This is much larger than that and spans to other countries. This isn't a story about a bunch of wasted youth smoking pot, drinking and playing pinball. This is a story about a business. And a con that really really snowballed into the mess it is now. I don't see your logic on how a bunch of people who spent their hard earned money on a product that turned into a scam any different that a contractor ripping someone off.
Quoted from ForceFlow:He did get called out, and did get taken to court. How would mass-media coverage further address the situation?
Sometimes when something gets called out on a grand scale with media coverage people in power tend to notice. The media is a verocious dog that given the scope of the swindle, would love the opportunity to run with it. If at the least it puts even more pressure on Kevin I'd do it. And usually something like this won't cost you a dime considering everything that has been spent so far. I mean what do you have to lose at this point.
Quoted from flynnibus:You can really run a man down that is already at the bottom..
You either dig the hole deeper or bury him alive, the choice is yours.
Quoted from multibrawlr:Just for the sake of clarification... the guy making the duplicate accounts is (allegedly) Tim Fife?
Late to the party. Been watching the situation unfold on the sidelines. Here's hoping that things will work out in favor of Skit-B's customers, but at this point I think all everyone can really do is wait and see what the outcome will be...
Watching from the sidelines on an account only 12hrs old? Something fishy is going on here.
Quoted from Coyote:Hey..
Happy rV-Day!
Fixed It lol
Quoted from Whysnow:how many full mutlicades would that buy you? boards, cabs, all the parts?
On the cheap side say $50 cab, $50 used lcd monitor $50 for a 60 in 1 board, maybe $100 to tie it all together (hardware,controls, graphics, paint) so you could start at $250 and go up from there slightly depending on components. or if the cab came with a working monitor subtract the $50 for the lcd monitor. I figure somewhere between $200-$350. Say you average that, $275 comes out to roughly 250 multi games for $70k.
Quoted from emkay:Those are best possible materials costs, I haven't seen assembled ones sell for less than $750 new so probably more like 100 games to hit that $70K number. Not implausible to me.
I was going by build cost. He could sell them for whatever. Dunno what exact cost he was looking for. But I agree that $750 figure for a built one.
Quoted from Roostking:Do you think they are finally beginning to realize how serious this actually is?
Nope, she's looking into her cauldron for the answers.
Quoted from Travish:When they open their mouths about 2 more times. 5, 4, 3, ...
Actually I am sure someone is watching/listening to all this and are letting them get in even deeper before the shoe drops.
Prob waiting for these proceedings to be completed maybe then slap them with a criminal case? Just a guess.
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:Let's not give the Kuleks any pointers. They are reading this thread.
Wait, they can read? I wonder if they used predator money to buy hooked on phonics?
Quoted from toyotaboy:doesn't like piratey enough
Maybe that's a picture of a young kulek and his missing dad??
Quoted from guyincognito:Down Simba!
I'm not insinuating you have 500k in Predator deposits. That's as preposterous as thinking that Kevin has 500k to give back, much less a pot to piss in.
How many more years will this drag out and for what? To put an adult babysitter of 5 behind bars for his business ineptitude?
Put the Red Bull down a go to bed.
