very glad sechip got all his money back, that was the only issue that needed addressed and it was in full. Yanks, sir I have seen many times members post comments and display actions that you sir did not reduce yourself too. It is standard that when a member admits wrong doing and settles all debt, the members here accept that and embrace the once wrong member. Repentance has always gone a long way here. Several post as of late highlight that fact. Forgive and Forget. You sir are every bit as much a man of honor as those who also sought forgiveness here. You really had nothing to gain by making things right, yet you did and for that, as I posted before, I respect you. I know you have learned from this experience, and I hope you will no longer take advantage of those who you view as prey. I hope you also know that in life as in this forum, you will be judged differently by various people. By not acting as you did in the beginning, you can avoid this in the future. Thanks for reminding me at least that all actions produce reactions, regardless of intent. You have plenty of time to move forward, setting things right with sechip was a smart move in the right direction. Stay the course.

Repentance my left foot.....
Honorable people do not do these things in the first place, nor do they need to be forced to do right when caught red-handed.
What he had to gain by making things right was avoiding a felony record and jail time for mail/wire fraud.
 
I am very happy for Sechip he got his mula back!!! as for yanks I cant believe he is not canned yet.......
 
As far as I can tell, we still have a member owed money. Lets not kick his debtor overboard while we can still help get him paid also.
 
Im glad Sechip got his money back and just as a tool for anyone else feel free to use reverse image search engines like Tineye in the future you can find the source of almost any image through those sites.
 
Treeshaker, you need a bandaid, your heart is bleeding.........

Glad to see the OP got his money back. There is nothing honorable about it, yanks simply got caught!!!
 
****UPDATE**** yanks4433 aka Ryan Deasy has paid me off in full, although it was more convoluted than it needed to be i did get paid and consider myself fortunate as i know these threads more often than not don't end well for the OP.

I will let everyone else come to their own conclusions as far as dealing with him and just wanted everybody concerned to know that i did get paid.

Thanks to all the fellow members for their help and support and know that i could not have done it without you, ultimately it will be up to the mods to decide Ryan's fate here on BF but i gave them my opinion and i guess we will see what happens.

Thanks again,
Scott

Congratulations sechip! Glad to hear you got a full refund. I am new to the forum but have been following this post. I am truly impressed by how well this was handled by yourself and the moderators.

as stated I am glad OP got his deserved money back and I thought that was the purpose of this thread. I read the mods request to keep this about the success of the process, and the point of doing the right things.

My thoughts exactly...he came forward and decided to fix what he had done once he noticed that everyone on here suggested prosecution for fraud.
 
There is no member I owed money by me. I apologize to the community.

Ryan, if you do happen to owe someone else money find it in yourself to make things right with them. It doesn't matter if they are a member here or not. If you did right by Scott, you can still do right by that other person (whomever they are). I've never been a fan of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater", but the world is hard enough without our own intervention. It's never too late to turn over a new leaf and make things right. One day at a time, I wish you luck.
 
Sticking to the "positive" theme, it is nice to see this one come to a good end. Thanks to mods especially.

Scott I am delighted to hear that you have been made whole again. While many others see GBU threads as entertainment it is not funny to be out $1K in hard earned cash. I have no doubt that without the intervention of GBU you would still be sitting with a large hole in your bank account.

Once again this thread proves two things about BF…….

1. We look after each other.

2. Our Mods look after all of us. They are the best.

I think that it is important to remember that these GBU threads are aberrations. I have purchased many knives for lots of money using many different payment methods without ever having a problem.

The vast majority of members on BF are honest, decent folks and transactions go off without a hitch. Thanks to the members and mods, BF is one of the best places online to buy and sell knives………….long may it continue.
 
Couldn't agree more here Karda!! Sorry, but this one is simply a guy who got caught....nothing more. Scott is someone you don't want to try to take to the woodshed......Yanks learned that the hard way!! Scott has gotten his money back and Yanks is a thief.....granted he is an inept one....this time.....but as Monofletch said "A Thief Is A Thief!"

I'm glad all the money was Finally returned the OP is whole again.. thats enough for him he decided as it should be that any punishment would come from the Mods.
I myself hope that yanks/ryan turns over a new leaf. But I will not judge the rest of his life on one stupid action
Everyone makes bad/wrong decisions at one time in their life, sometimes the worst sinners become the best people.
That goes with the caveat that it will take a long long time to regain anyones trust.
In ending I wish the best to both men Good Luck. We all need it.

This is similar to my take on it.
 
I've followed this and since my name was brought up earlier, I do want to post that I did indeed send Ryan a USPS MO via Overnight Mail and did get it as we agreed....the knife was as described and sent out on time.

I'm not defending him but just saying he did right by me. I, too, am glad the OP got his funds returned.
