High end knife scam from Israel? Could it be Vlad Pavlov?
In 2007, I was running down a piece of shit thief on several knife forums. I'll call him POS #1 for brevity.
At that time, there were thoughts POS #1 was Vlad. I was able to link POS #1 to a "Shraga Kurz" in Haifa, Israel. Post 1 of this thread indicates Shraga Kurtz in Haifa, Israel.
I was able to connect POS #1 to Vlad. In fact, POS #1 had obtained stolen knives from Vlad.
POS #1 was using Haifa and Kiryat Tivon addresses.
I completed a fair amount of research POS #1 (aka Shraga Kurz, which was just one of the names he used), but the results did not substantiate the assumptions being made that Vlad Pavlov was POS #1. It doesn't mean that POS #1 isn't Vlad. I wasn't able to irrefutably link the two as being the same person.
