Don't worry fellas, the Emperor surfaced on Twitter today and assures that most e-mails will be answered in the next day or two-

Wow. It's simply mild-boggling that someone can take thousands of dollars from hundreds of people, ship out almost nothing for two months, then literally nothing for one month, simultaneously either ignoring hundreds of emails or responding with generic lies, all the while repeatedly and unrepentantly mocking the victims of his fraud publicly, and still be (at least in theory) operating a business. Ultimately, unfortunately, one has to blame the inactivity and naivete of his customers - if everyone who either received nothing or an incomplete order (which is roughly 99% of his total customers) disputed the charges with their credit card companies, which would take only a five minute phone call, he would be in dept and out of business for the foreseeable future.

I still don't understand why you guys are treating this guy like a legitimate merchant instead of a criminal. Why nobody has notified the feds about this clown committing mail fraud mystifies me.

Edit: I also removed this info but feel free to PM me if you like.
So if no one comes to the door it will be the address I use when I go fill out the report at the local police department.
(going to suck blowing half a day of my vacation but it will be worth it)

The person's actual address has been posted elsewhere online. I removed it in this post as it may be violating forum rules.

Back in late Jan/early Feb, he made the claim on twitter that all orders would be out by HorrorHound weekend. That's coming up in 11 days. If anyone needs more proof for their CC company to do a chargeback, you can let that date come and go and have more ammo that things aren't going out(assuming you're using a shitty CC company that doesn't think you've proved your case. Why are you even still using them at this point?)

Perhaps I should record my visit for them? (Although addin too much confrontation to the situation might get me arrested on my vacation, audio only maybe?)

I couldn't imagine anything other than either him not being home or he says something about how he can't talk and then he closes the door.
I'd also be surprised if this was the first visit he would get or wouldn't open his door for strangers and telling him mom the same. If he did buy that house he was talking about, he'd probably want to live there instead of still living with mom.

Send your UNFULFILLED INVOICES (i.e. receipts for the stuff you never got) to [email protected]! And when you send me your invoice(s), make sure that you highlight TWO of the discs that you wanted the most. Then cross your fingers because I will choose one lucky person each month (at random) and mail them a brand new, factory sealed, Blue Underground Blu-ray disc (or two, depending on their price and my available funds). Don't worry about shipping or anything else; I'm footing the bill for this.

Answering my own question - Charlotte, NC:
http://www.themadmonsterparty.com/index.html
I've never been to one of these conventions - how much to the guests typically charge for autographs? I'm tempted to make the 2-hour drive to score some additional sig's on my Fright Night blu ray (I was to nap one of the Tom Holland autographed copies).
[And I'd definitely make the trip if HME was confirmed as a vendor!]

Was it not said there was a picture of this guy floating around? Can someone post it so that everyone know who to look out for at conventions?

^There used to be another picture on his Twitter account where he had a beard. Not surprisingly, it's no longer there.
