At this point, I'm surprised more people haven't gone this route or file a police report for theft.

A police report would be filed where the "theft" or "fraud" occurred, so that would be in VA.

Just an update...I received some more of my armor pieces (shoulders, cod and kidney) on Monday. I received no heads up or anything from Rick, it just showed up at the house. I'm still waiting on my knees, helmet and gauntlets from my commission that was suppose to be completed in June 2016.
Ponte did write a post some time ago about some family problems and stuff. And last time I spoke with him around february, he was slowly getting back on track.
I know we are getting rather angry, I get, have been waiting on my helmet since 2015 when it was orignaly planned to be delivered, but if we all responds with soo much hostility, he probably will work slower and sloppier.

That's a fair point, but based on the other posts it seems that most people who commissioned him would rather just have their stuff shipped back and their money refunded ( or even partially). Less for Ponte to deal with and our fellow TDHers would have their kits back and can move on with their lives.

I have no opinion on his work but if any vendor behaves like this, then everything everyone has said is thereby justified.

I'm still out my helmet, gauntlets and knees (to include Machinecraft parts). Haven't heard from him in months, even though I've texted, emailed and FB messaged him numerous times.
Between my issues with Ponte and Fettpride, my introduction to this hobby hasn't exactly been good.

Mateeee soz to hear this, yeah this whole situation has motivated myself to get out of the hobby. I've sold all my remaining kit. But i will not let this open theft go.

The admin really doesn't have anything they can do other than ban him. They aren't a legal authority. I am sure they wish as much as anyone that these issues could be resolved but there is nothing for them to act on, all of the remedies are outside of their scope of authority.
I do really hope that all of this gets some resolution.

Yeh...if I lived within a few hours of Rick it'd be a different story I assure you. But I and Scott both live over 1000 miles from him. It's not like we can just hop in the car and grab your stuff and help you. He hasn't been messaging either of us back same as you. I've tried helping you best I can by giving you his personal contact info even. Take whatever actions you can but as mullreel said above there is nothing besides removing his account which does nothing for you.

Copy that Dom, i understand, anyways its a bugger as I was really enjoying the hobby. The GMH you sent me was awesome, and in hindsight I should have waited for ur return from Korea i would have had my lid and your genius paint it. didnt mean any disrespect just frustration arising, i guess being 10000 miles away doesnt help my plight. anyways all the best to yourself and the TD community

What did he say when you asked him to send your stuff back?

If you mean Sleepalot, he got banned for scamming several people including Ponte.
