Justice was served in the court of public opinion and on a legal level of sorts!

The actual person who supposedly did the deed (Trick's brother) had charges brought against him...and Trick himself doesn't have a leg to stand on with any of his local reefers in Michigan who read or partook in a very nice thread over at Michigan Reefers site that was ongoing for a week or 2. He prety much has a reliability rating of ZERO now.

Exidently...Trick(such a name for the situation at hand) was on vacation. Meanwhile his brother was online under his name setting up trades (at least 3). Evidently the brother is already in jail. Trick on the other hand does not find it necessary to cover the damages and mess his brother created, and feels he is in the right by washing his hands of the situation. Meanwhile he is/was very concerned about keeping a positive view of himself to other reefers in his area...can you see the irony here! This all went down on Michigan Reefers site. The thread has been closed (imagine that) because of the outpouring of support for the couple of us that were done wrong, and Trick's belief that he is not liable for protecting his identities online (go figure in this day and age!!).

Although the couple of us who were "TRICKED" won't be getting financial rertobution...I am comfortable that Trick won't be trusted by many in the hobby, and his brother has his own troubles!

I am sure we could have taken it a few steps further with the Attorney General's office, and USPS for the mail fraud aspect...but I have no time to pursue because of other things going on in my life.

not sure about the credibility

on our local forum.. posted yesterday he is selling his frag tank to get a new tank then again nobody replied yet. also looking to setup a group buy on a tank no replies either I think he thinks he can lay low again and come out there are allot of very honest reefers in Michigan and we hate to see this cause it makes us look bad. I wanted to see more done or at least it carried to a conclusion on Michigan Reefers.. from what I see he laid low since the thread was closed he has three post with in the last day. it just wasn't right. if my brother did that I would take it out of his *** and I would trust him for electrical work not...
