The part that draws everyone in is that he actively and brutally ripped off many people for a LOT of money and their amps that were sent in, yet the dude would show up at amp feats and nobody would call him out and just kiss his amp instead. Can you think of another con man or shyster who has so brutally robbed people and still associates with and even hangs with people in the industry after his acts of subterfuge? Then some guys pop up on threads saying he is a hood guy who means well who just made a mistake?!
So, imagine knowing about this dude who robbed so many people, and even knowing some of his victims from the guitar forums. And even though you know some of his victims, and you know he is a heavy duty thief and shyster, YOU MAKE A POST SAYING, LOOK AT MY 9 CAMERONS AND THEN SAY HOW CLOSE OF FRIENDS YOU ARE AND THAT HE MAKeS CUSTOM SIGNATURE MODELS FOR YOU!!!
This is staggering behavior and of the poorest form.
