Craig, That particular message could be a "plant" by someone else but even so, the worldwide number was much higher than in the USA alone.
He did repay a few carefully selected purchasers on vortex, including our moderator Bill, and maybe Jed. Selective reimbursement. There are old posts in the archives. I guess he thought the rest of us would forgive and forget ... Wrong. And if he did clear over a million - and Keef wants to fry him but good, ask the tax officials in Oz if he paid his taxes on the $2-3 million. Somehow, it seems unlikely that scammers will pay taxes on ill-gotten gains, but he is pretty clever at avoiding legal responsibilities, it seems. The strangest post from him is on a Aussie solar forum - where he warns a critic to "apologize or else he will take them to Court for defamation" - and this is the same time frame that he is getting spanked in court by Keef; plus it looks like he did not have an attorney then. ROTFL. -----Original Message----- From: Craig Haynie "1) My inability to make a 100% solid SMOT device and ship it to the 20000 or so people who had sent me $150 Aus." http://peakoil.com/forums/the-cold-fusion-thread-pt-4-merged-t63982-165.html 20,000??? people sent him money for the SMOT? I never knew he was at that level. That's 3 million AUS dollars. I thought he was a beginning scammer. Craig
