Fellow BOTL and SOTL. It has been brought to our attention that Aeon Spiral, Ryan, has potentially defrauded some members of the board. A troop bomb was gathered by Ryan, which was originally started by other members of the board, at Ryans request. Ryan approached member #1 for assistance in shipping the package, as funds were low. A package of this caliber normally costs about $12, Ryan was given $55 including a $20 gift to aide in the shipping and this was delivered to him on May 23rd as evidenced by the DC tracking number given to us by said member.
On May 27th, Ryan recieved funds from member #2 for further assistance on shipping costs and obtained $30 via Paypal which we have a receipt to prove. Obviously, these funds were not needed, and member #2 did not know member #1 had already paid for the shipping, above and beyond the cost of the package. Several days later, Ryan approached member #3 for more funds to ship this package. Member number #3 realized the fraudulent activity, let member #2 know, and they realized the scam. Once member #1 was notified of what was going on, #2 and #3 realized multiple people had been approached for money, asked for restitution over the course of a week with no resolve. The package had to be taken from Ryan, as the members realized he was the reason it was being held up, yet had been approaching people for funds and had received plenty. Once it was retrieved, it was shipped and paid for by member #3.
Given this is a public forum, we must police the matter ourselves. The evidence was reported and presented to multiple veteran members of the forum and a resolution was constructed at the request of the parties involved. Ryan will be given a chance to explain himself, apologize for his actions, and provide restitution to those involved at their request and behest. At this point, it is not acceptable for him to participate on the board in trades, passes, bombs, etc Other complaints regarding his trading practices, lying, and potentially fraudulent activities came forward, but this incident is what we have actual evidence of. Given the nature of the event, we feel it is in his best interests to make restitution and cease and desist from the forum. Ccom representatives will be contacted by the veteran members of the board.
At the request of the parties involved, their names have been withheld to protect their identity. Any inquires can be made via PM to the veterans involved with the matter. So what we know is this:
He decided to take over a troop bomb in early May
May 23rd he received $55 from member #1
May27th member #2 sends money, receives $30 via Paypal
June 2nd, he asks member #3 for more money, member #3 realizes the issue
All three members uncover the scam, ask for the package, #3 ships
After attempts to retrieve their funds, the members contact senior members of the forum
EDIT as of yesterday, restitution was made to one member, but the manner of which it was handled led to us posting this. Ryan has made good with member #2 and #3. However, the excuses made do not line up with several trade proposals and packages sent out. We have obtained a thorough amount of evidence regarding this in the timeline provided, and time of repayment. Only after it got out via PM did this happen; albeit, 14 days after the fact.

Wow... Aeon hit me up in a PM asking for help to bomb someone... I'm glad I didn't get into it. Thanks for the heads up.
The situation was definately eye opening. However, I hope that this situation does not discourage or make people timid to participate. This is obviously an abortion. I know that I will continue to rape and pillage you bastards. THIS INCLUDES YOU NEWER GUYS MORE SO THAN EVER.
Thank you to those who stepped up to uphold the values of our community.

taking the chance that you might respond back with "I don't care". I hope the next person that wants to post saying they believe aeon will seek out the full story through PM before taking his situation to heart.
