Every time i see this got-damn thread bump up I get a small ray of hope. Always dashed.

Although I still have a copy of the spreadsheet just in case Keith shows up somewhere.

I also still think if everyone who had been screwed had kicked in $100 we could have hired one of the lawyers I talked to in Seoul. At the very least we could have gotten a judgement/deportation/lien even if all the money had been spent.

Some people are scam artists by nature. However, I suspect that at the price point he started at and the quality he committed to he was either losing money or just breaking even. Unable or unwilling to scale up, he just grabbed the cash and ran.

This was mentioned on another forum and curiosity got the better of me to find out how it all panned out. I last read this thread back in '16. It's tragic to see that he even managed to screw over his adoptive family.

How he screw over his parents? I just read he just left his partners and customers in the dust.

Can you share the spreadsheet? I can't find it anymore
