Yes, and given that much of the previous material I mention
specifically discussed how legitimate his merchandise seemed
and how he lied and made garbage up when caught, it makes me
uneasy. It's a shame; that's a lot of nice stuff that I'd
love to have, if it exists. I just can't be sure it exists,
and I'd need a bit more proof of redemption before I'd
commit money to this, because I've been burned by similar
things in the past and I'm not about to again. And, like
you said, it could be hot merchandise, which has legal
implications.
For me, his writing style is far too much like my old
landlord in West Virginia for me to trust him (not that I
think he's the same guy, but it throws up immediate
(possibly spurious) red flags because that guy was a liar
and a scammer as well).

How can this
fellow continue scamming, year after year?

Well, as he gets banned from one forum/list after another, he just moves on to the next;
looks like he's found a home here at last...
To his credit some people have apparently bought from him with no issues, but I'd
still be wondering if any of the stuff he's flogging now is part of the loot he stole
from fellow hobbyists in his prime...
