Hey guys, here is a reply I received from a friend of Florian about a week ago. Just thought I would share what it said. I think we are all out of luck. Damn!
HI Mike,
no Problem, as I stated in my first post in the thread, the sole intent that Markus and I have is to help resolve this whole situation, kicking Florians butt as good as we can and doing some damage assessment and managment. I haven´t been ripped off by a forum member (yet), but lost some money on ebay to deceiving !!#&$!s. And since Florian generally is a nice guy, but has a pile of personal problems to cope with, we are doing this to help keep the community from having another case of "member succumbing to the dark side".
I wholeheartedly disincourage anyone who´d ask me about doing business with Florian in the future, since he isn´t up to par when it comes to really doing proper business at the moment, and I don´t know when things will change. He sees it quite similarly, hence the ban in the JY that he asked for and that has been imposed on him in december.
If you see him doing business on other boards, please contact me.
Thanks,
Michael
