My thoughts on this whole thing, abridged:
What the fuck, man? Where is everybody’s shit?
apologize? apologize to people trying to help u huh? thats what people trying to help get then huh? Nice. :lame:
in the end, i guess you’re damned if you do and dammed if you dont huh?
tsk tsk tsk
not sure what you’re trying to say here. didn’t mean to offend anybody. i’m just saying that i’m sorry if i make some of these things public (like what people were telling me: updates, etc.).
of course, i appreciate all of the help i’ve gotten. i thought i mentioned that already.
i don’t know. i’ve just been reading my AIM logger (which probably isn’t such a good idea at the moment).
No.
Can you still take legal action? None of my business because I didn’t order anything from this con. But when someone rips off one gamer, you rip us all off.

WoW. I didnt even know this thread existed! WTF. I just got a stick from him like 2-3 weeks ago. It took 1 week for him to give me my stick. I dont know what everyone elses problem is cause he did good business with me. Im not defending his actions, Im just here to make statements that I GOT MY STICK. No bad business with me and trust if it was. I would air it out asap. Hopefully he can resolve this matter. =/.
where did u find the ad about him building sticks from. b/c for sure u didnt get from here at srk. he has run off with ppl money and never returned their sticks bacl.
I believe its been streak thats been conversing with me through AIM. I Just want to say sorry guys, I have done everything I can, and really there is nothing more I can do, its all on him now. Well It has been, I just thought maybe asking him about it would get something done. Apparently that was not the case.
To those who got burned, I am sorry, because, even though i’m not apart of this at all, I feel for you guys, we all work hard, and with a shitty economy like now, every dollar counts, and you guys got dicked out of alot of cash and nothing to show for it.
:u: yeah, it was me. thanks for all the help. all of us really appreciate it. :tup:
deangelo…:shake:
Wow, this is rather serious.
I know some home boys in Dallas that know this guy (some of the Guilty Gear players know him).
I’ll see what I can do and look into this matter.
However, it’s been a good while since I’ve heard from him. Can’t promise much.
Yep, logged back in and guess I was hoping to see something. Still nothing…

There’s his phone number. Feel free to harrass him, post it on 4chan, m4m hookups on craigslist, I dont care. Fuck him.
^^ hahah thats his old number
If you know his real name can you not look his current phone number up online? Someone should do that.
Ah really? Shit. I reached him on it last time a few months ago.
i havent talked to him in months too but i recently called him and it was some pakistani chick
i feel somewhat lucky, as i was one of the first to order from him. I got mine at the same time streak did… never thought this would happen. he seemed legit.
Stumbled across some old emails, which reminded me of this thread. Checked his SRK account and it seems he still uses it- nice to know he’s not banned.
Did some google-stalking.
Dj_matrix (Ibanez) recently at a tournament (and did well! Good for him)

I assume this is him (tied for 13th), also. See here, also.
Also, this. At least he keeps up his old habits, and doesn’t rip everyone off.

It warms my heart to know that after ripping off several people for many hundreds of dollars that he still finds the time to get car parts and video games off of eBay. As long as he pays his part of the rent, I guess.
I just mean, most people would be like “oh man, I ripped off like a half-dozen people, I should find a way to pay them back, or at least address the issue somehow.” But this guy is really brave. He’s courageous enough to just go on about his life like nothing happened. He’s an iconoclast, really. His is a kind who eschews normal notions of ethics and proposes a bold New Thought, an anthem of individualist righteousness, set into motion.
More than anything, though, it’s important to have a sense of humor about these sorts of things.
If you happen to be on PSN and see “jonnyibanez” online, you should try talking philosophy with him.
Holding a tournament on my birthday? You are far too kind.
Thanks, EventHubs.
Hmm.
So I was watching a video of 30th Anniversary collection and someone had an online match with a guy who’s SN is…get ready for it… jonnyibanez.
Did some googling, and wouldn’t you know… He’s on social media!
Been about ten years, if we can’t get our money back we should at least get this dude banned from tournaments. He was apparently at Evo 2016 even after ripping people off.
