Okay, who here has a Pacer account so to see what's what? I was privy to the following via a PM from a user here.

Yeah I am the plaintiff. Nothing special to my story, it's the same as hundreds of other BFL customers (they never refunded me the money for a cancelled order.) So I'm suing them.

Full disclosure: I PM'ed mrb about this thread, hence his reply.

That said, it begs the question - how the fuck does this lawsuit not violate Sonny Vleisides' extended probation passed along by an irate Judge stating in no uncertain terms that if Sonny fucks up, he's spending time behind bars? Yet, Sonny remains free, still enjoying the good life thanks to unknown amounts of money secretly amassed during BFL's existence. Not to mention the bogus 1099 sent to my scammy ass under the guise of some unknown work I supposed performed for BFL when in reality the money in question was sent to me by BFL's COO, Josh Zerlan, unrelated to BFL. Now, if Sonny wants to declare that he satisfied Josh's gambling debt through BFL, he's more than welcome to do so if he desires to enjoy even more time at some federal Hilton which includes three free meals a day and neat-o garb matching others also enjoying their stays. Morning wake-up calls are also included in said Hilton vacation package.

Wow dude, that is pretty hardcore, you went after them using RICO?  They deserve it, of course, but remind me not to mess with you :)

Curious, has there been any movement on this?  Wheels of justice move slowly and all, and I don't have a PACER account.  Would be pretty crazy if Sonny were declared to be a mob boss.  Mining mafia!

Good luck.  They still owe me a 5 figure sum as well.
