Actually it's path of least resistance. He is now not being a prop-maker, but a 'promoter'. Props are not his business anymore, so it's purely him as promotion guy. He's wearing all the stuff that people paid him for, specifically his Cap armor, but also of course using the other gear to market out stuff in bars and wherever else he can be paid.
Remember? (the following his input) He's not a prop guy anymore. And he will also put on hold everybody else's stuff (people that have paid) when he has professional/studio gigs. He's not a prop maker anymore, he's a promoter. In costume.
So anyways, it's just tiring at this point to name dates and pages..... He's commercializing, and people still pay him (bars and clubs that don't care). He hasn't, and will not finish anybody's stuff, or refund money (feel free to pop in, anybody to say that he is or will).
66 pages in. He won't go to jail. I did what I could already (with the help of several people here, thank you) and hopefully this thread, a regaling effort, and (for once please) karma will get him away from anything and everything involving props and cosplay. Once again, 66 pages, he won't change, but he will bilk, prey, and fail on his own in another genre once he's out of this 'niche'.
