Hi everyone,

Just checking in here. No real changes as of yet. I appreciate your point Sean, that neither option is ideal. Stynx, I think that your plan sounds like a good way to go, with all those who wish a refund getting one, and those who decide to ride it out continuing to do so. I'd like to hear the thoughts of others as well though. I want the rest of this project to be decided by all those who have taken a stake in this, that way there can be no accusations of things being underhanded. I am still in the middle of a transition here, with barely any time to sit down and even write, but I am still handling the back side of things on a daily basis. 

Drew, the situation stands like this: The cards have been cloned, and are in port. I have not been allowed to inspect or collect them due to a foul-up with the paperwork on the part of someone on the other end, specifically my name has been spelled (significantly) wrong on several important documents (specifically shipping documents that name the person who is to claim the goods on this side). I have been assured that this issue is resolvable, but things are dragging out longer than I had hoped. This is why I am talking of refunds. Clearly people's moods have soured, and there has been some talk by a few people of legal action against me, with the word "scammer" having been thrown around a bit. This is of course the last thing I want. Hence, the refunds. This way, there will be no doubts as to my integrity, and I will be able to deal with this situation as I am able without fear of reprisal from the community. A few people have stepped in and said that they wish to keep their money with me, either temporarily, or until the the end, whatever that might be. For this I am grateful, but for the majority of people, returning their money is the right thing to do at this point, and what will be done. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about doing this, hence the options I have suggested. I hope this answers some of your questions for now Drew.

To everyone: Thank you for your continued patience. I'm making an effort to come here at least every few days, so that everyone can be sure that I am staying on top of things. I think this alone has helped raise spirits and confidence a lot, but anyway, thanks so much for standing by!

Conrad
