Mitchell Laine situation UPDATE 02/07/12- Jedifyfe got his armour back!

Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

OK AN IMPORTANT AND POSSIBLE BIG UPDATE!!

I got another email from Mitchell Laine asking for his $46 Sports Almanac back or he will get a lawyer HAHAHAHAHAH! what balls!!

Here is his message:
"If you say so. As far as im aware I was waiting for return addresses to send items back but never got return addresses, im more than happy to return items as im trying to get my life sorted.

As for the almanac, you can check as many threads as you like but it was bought legitemately. You can say what you like about me but you are doing the same thing as I was doing. So you can send what you promised and ask for the almanac back or I will get in contact with lawyers on this end and youll be hearing from them"

So I responded with the following message:

"You are right, me keeping the items is technically doing the same thing. It doesn't feel good to be ripped off does it? That is how every person you stole from feels... And your item was a $46 item, not hundreds like some of the other members items were worth.

So I tell you what,
You get a lawyer and I will speak with them. We can make a deal... I would love to give you the book back. You have a lawyer get in touch and I will make a deal to give you the book in exchange for confirmation of all the items returned to their rightful owners. I will even give you the Jack doll. So, let me get all the return addresses from the people you stole from, and I will forward them to you. Once I hear back from all of them, and all the items are accounted for, I will give you both the book and figure. Does this sound fair? If you need to get a lawyer to confirm this agreement, I will gladly speak with them. Let me know. If you really are looking to sort your life out, this would be the perfect start. We all make mistakes, and sometimes just admitting you were wrong, and just rectifying the situation is a step in the right direction. Yes, you cannot take back the past, but you can do all you can to try and salvage your reputation. Perhaps making good on the returns will allow you to one day return to the prop community and people will accept you again."

So we will see his response to this reply.
If he agrees, I will gather up a list of the items and people scammed. This might be a chance to actually get everything returned. We will see if he is serious about changing himself or if these are just more lies...

I will keep you posted:) wish me luck in resolving this!!
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

It will never happen. I am sure that all the stolen items he had are LOOONG gone by now.

By reading his email, it seems he is either retarded or Russian maybe both.

I just want to see if he is stupid enough to get a lawyer:lol
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

OK NEW EMAIL JUST ARRIVED:

"Thats fair enough. And after i've sent all the items I dont want the book back just the doll as that was what the trade was for. And also with the red paperclip items, for example the stormtrooper suit owed to funky does he still want it or do they want the original items returned?

I have the storm suit for funky still, the clone suit for artek, and the mr stormtrooper helmet for ozy. Let me know about return addresses and it should take about 2-3 weeks to send it all off."

If he does have the items you sent him still, do you want your items back or what he owed you?
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Nope the Stormtrooper armor comes to me. I sent all of the 1966 Batman items back to Funky.

I will "S" my pants if he really ends up sending me the Armor.

PM being sent to you.
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

If anyone get's something back from that little scammer I'll **** a gold brick. Then sell it.
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Ok guys... Looks like he is agreeing to ship back items. I will tell him to ship the item you request him to ship.

Please pm me the item description he owes you, as well as your full name and address.
If you know someone who also needs to Be on the list, but might miss seeing it, please tell them to pm me.

Fingers crossed here!!!
Rich
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Hm... I wonder what made him want to return the items? His Mom? The Police?

And Vaga I'll buy that brick!

Maybe it was the fact that I told him that the group here has hired an attorney, and contacted the police. I told him if he has already been spoken to by the police, they most likely haven't arrested him yet, because the case is still being built. Once the lawyer here gets all statements, and each member here involved signs off on the statements, the police should have enough of a case to press charges. The amount qualifies for Grand Theft Felony, and with a solid case, he is looking at some time in jail. :)

Maybe that was an incentive???:)
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

I personally think he's blowing smoke up your wazoo. I hope he's serious but history has proven he's a pathological DB.
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

He might be blowing smoke, but we can try.

He just sent this email a few minutes ago:

"I will be returning all items, also I need an address fot Larry Young as I bought something off him om another account and got the money back from paypal so id like to return that as well. Let me know addresses as you know them and ill email you tracking numbers as I send them."

The fact that he is admitting to scamming Larry with another account might be a good sign. Maybe he is trying to clear his conscience ??!
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Don't forget I love you guys, so don't y'all be holding your breath now.

Well, I will compile a list and send it to him, after that... It is out of my hands. I hope he comes through... But I am not too confident he will based upon his track record. I would be stupid not to try to convince him though.
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Leopards and spots come to mind, but I hope I'm wrong.

Anyone childish enough to threaten the use of a lawyer for a $40 book has faulty neurons IMO.

Like I said, I don't trust or believe him, but I will try. I have nothing invested or lost to him, so any effort I put in is for the members here to hopefully get some stuff back. If it works, great!! If it doesn't, I will at least rest knowing i tried my best:)
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Oh that I can relate to and agree with you 110%.

:) :) :)
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
 
Re: Mitchell Laine is back!! UPDATE 9-18

Wow... this is better than an M.Night Shyamalan movie... What a twist ! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. Also, I hope Vagabond does a run of these gold bricks as I am also interested, I shall watch the junkyard !

Keep me out of it. I sent him some surplus spacesuit parts I had and was refunded from Paypal after his **********, so I'm not out anything from his idiocy.

In almost five years and all the many excellent deals I've done with folks here, only his and Alfred's idiot Dr. Fate helmet trade have went awry and both times Paypal refunded my cash so I'm good. Nothing to see here; carry on.
