Antonius thanks for your email. I hope you have filed a dispute with Audiogon since this ripoff occurred via an Audiogon wanted ad. That is one safe way to expose this cheat without fear of legalities coming back at you. Hard to believe that someone steals $10000 from you & then has the audacity to threaten suit for publicly exposing this thief. His name has been on these forums before & I have my own record of his being a thief per the previous warnings of others here. Unfortunately Audiogon pulled the thread & now you've become yet another victim. All I can advise here is for anyone who's interested to know who the perpetrator is, to contact you (Rademaker) via email for specifics of this Ontario ripoff artist. I'll be happy to pass on the info myself too, & no there's nothing he can do to you, even if he bribes a judge & does get a judgement against anyone, how is he going to collect? There no way he can force you to pay & the court will do nothing about it - they never do - which is why it's pointless to sue anyone in this country for a judgement action; they never enforce.
