[QUOTE="josh99ta, post: 457636, member: 545886"] I'm not in bed, bad Josh... We ALL knew it was fishy. Anyone who has gotten screwed by Ben would probably agree that things weren't right most of the time, but because Ben maintained the illusion of a real friendship, we kept quiet. I know in the case I was screwed (which ended up costing me about $550 and a situation that Ben made roughly $400 profit on) I knew it was messed up, but Ben kept assuring me that he was doing all he could, and since he was a "friend" I believed him. My mistake. This was before I knew what was going on with Loyd, the defective spider issues on the K series, or before he screwed over another one of my friends. When I got screwed out of $550 and Ben made $400 on my misfortune I pretty much cut ties. I still talked to Ben a little after that but eventually just stopped. After he made his profit off of me he never had any more time. We'd talk on AIM and he'd just sign off in the middle of a convo. I took it similar to hanging up on me if we were talking on the phone. He began just being generally short with me and thats when I realized he wasn't doing all he could, and that I got screwed. A life lesson learned I suppose. Nothing I could really say at that point though, because Ben had befriended more people that didnt want to believe their friend would do something like that. Many of those friends were mutual friends of mine so I just kept my mouth closed to avoid conflict.
