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.
