I'm in agreement with Maxmod. It's attempted theft to take people's money and then cut off all communication with them, keep the parts that you received from the customer, etc, and it's definitely a shame that he receives a level of protection from some in the community.
Like the rest of you, I'm in awe of the level of knowledge and ability that this person has around working with x19 engines and that he once had a solid reputation, but it doesn't detract from the fact that over the last few years dozens of people have had their money and parts (even an entire car) taken with nothing in return. It certainly isn't helped by the attitude of some that "well xyz was resolved eventually" and therefore the attempted theft is okay.
