In Reply to: Re: Since we are posting emails now.... posted by Bill on 2, 2000 at 4:08 PM:

: Ok, if we're posting emails then here's a few:

: From "Arcade 2000, Inc." on March 1, 2000:
: > Heh, I sent my acceptance letter, and they are cutting me a check
: > on Friday, I'll deposit it and basically it will cover refunds for you and
: > Ken (One of my other customers). Thant's about it.
: You got the loan around March 1st to "cover refunds" for Ken and me.

: From "Arcade 2000" on March 16, 2000:
: > in Ohio. Anyhow, when I get back home in a day or so, I'll mail out yours.
: Promised to send the check in "a day or so" on March 16.

: From "Arcade2000" on March 28, 2000:
: > Need mailing address again, please.
: Discovered you needed my mailing address again on March 28. You acknowleged
: the receipt of it the following day.

: I get no check and no responses to any emails for the next 3 weeks.
: Although you claim you're not "a one man operation", you don't have enough
: staff to check the company email address once in a while and you are
: incapable of working a yahoo.com email account (which doesn't require any
: configuration of a local machine -- you can check it instantly from any
: browser, firewall or not).

: From "Arcade 2000" on April 23, 2000:
: > I just got back to NY and found that you weren't paid yet. That will be
: > rectified next week.
: Rediscovered that I haven't been paid April 23, promised to send "next
: week". If you "discovered" that the check hadn't been mailed out,
: then you still have the balance to cover it (or were you expecting it to
: bounce?)

: From "Arcade 2000" on May 2, 2000:
: > No, I didn't send it yet because the money is being pulled in fourteen
: > different directions. You are a priority, but despite my loan, I have legal
: > fees until the settlement is paid. Kem got his money, and you will too.
: So the loan you got in the beginning of March to "cover refunds" for Ken and
: me is going "in fourteen different directions" but not to me. And "Kem"
: got a post-dated check, we haven't heard yet if it cleared.

: I count each time you promised to send me a check "in the next few days"
: and then didn't as another lie. You did the same thing 7 months ago with
: the delivery of the cabinet, promising that it was done and about to be
: shipped for over 8 weeks past your "guaranteed" date.

: And I apologize to other readers for posting here, but I wanted to ensure
: that other gamers that might get involved with Kemper understood how he
: does "business".

: Let my ship on the rocks be a lighthouse to the sea.

I am with that one guy who said a while back that you folks should contact the state attorney general. I am all for settling this matter quickly but Arcade 2000 doesn't seem all that sincere especially from the look of the messages. I do have couple questions though. Why would he need to get a loan unless he already spent the money from those orders? If he spent it on materials (which I highly doubt considering his excuses), why hasn't he made and shipped the product? From the way Arcade 2000 keeps making excuses about when he will repay the money, it seems like the only way all of you will get any money back is from restitution after the attorney general gets done with him. I do have one question for you folks that he owes money to. In 6 months, will Arcade 2000 still be making excuses about when you will get your refunds?
