For the record I got all but $100 of it back over the course of 3 or 4 months.
I don't know what happened to him other than he changed his ICQ, AIM, and emails. So it looks like he was hiding from something.
I was posting what I knew to help Jakez but it looks like he doesn't mind losing several thousand bucks.
Maybe we need to have a homecoming party for him now and just welcome him back into the community!
