HUGE TRADE GONE BAD

Everyone getting involved is what got (maybe) this situation resolved.
Sad thing is....... this happened on the internet, where things never go away!
Your band will be tainted with this "mistake" forever.
Time to start thinking up a new username..... I mean Band name.
err ... One of the things we discovered in this thread is that there are a lot more than two people involved. And as to why we are getting involved, we're a community and we help each other out.
Apology after being caught is worthless. There's nothing to do for a rat trapped in a corner except beg for forgiveness. After the forum quickly and unquestioningly identified him he has nothing left to do but go to jail or try and plea for his own ***, literally.
Even if Dharmashaun does not call the police, which his strangely worded posts seem to almost guarantee, I hope one of his OTHER prior victims does. If he gets away with it losing nothing but what he stole to begin with he will not learn a thing. Jail and police and criminal records and lawyers and all that would be a great way to make sure it does not happen again, to drive the lesson home.

It does involve all of us as Bass community, he ripped off a lot of people here... i think you are the one out of place here...
And someone please send his mother an email letting her know her son is committing federal crimes and she'll probably need to hire a lawyer, for her sake. She was implicated when he used her address. And money says that the JPATA guy who posted "in support" is him under another name. You can open a gmail account in 20 seconds.
Mick - it's pretty simple, no? If the law enforcement and proper authorites see this was an honest mistake (as were all previous accounts if fraud, attempted and transacted) all will be fine for young Evan.
If they find otherwise, well...maybe you need to start looking for a replacement bass player for all those gigs.
Here's a tip: the TB community may not be were you need to begin your search.

I suspect that the old addage "birds of a feather flock together" probably applies here. Whether this "Mick" is a real person or a figment of anyone's imagination, I would make the assumption that anyone connected with this guy - all the members of that "band" for example - probably encourage and embrace this type of behaviour.
Call has been made to WA and CT authorities are tomorrow. Guaranteed, The more that is coming out the more I see this needs to be handled.
Especially when anyone who's read the thread knows a heck of a lot more about the situation than him.
See Mick, we take this personally round here... See those little numbers beside our names? Those are how many times we trusted each other with our most valued gear, and how much we've returned that respect and trust with each other. Its kind of a big deal. See that ZERO next to Evan's name? He earned it.
This is clearly the greatest thread ever! Sounds like someone's mommy found out about it. Ya, don't piss off Mom when you're over 18 and not ready to move.
