Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Jamie:
When I used to weekend race in NASA, I was (and still am) good friends with one of the guys who was one of the top engine tuners in our class.
His youngest son was diagnosed with autism and his wife left him. He lost his job and fell on hard times.
His mistake was that his mouth had sold more than his ass could deliver. He had taken money from several clients on high end track mods and used that money to pay off his debts, assuming that things would bounce back. It was stupid move and, at the time, I told him it was.
They didn't and he ended up owing tens of thousands of dollars to clients to whom he couldn't deliver. He got crucified on the NASA and SCCA boards and at the time, he was one of my closest friends. While I understood the hardships he was enduring in his personal life, that didn't excuse the stupid decisions he made to continue to pay off his debts with customer money.
He robbed those people and even though he is my friend, I will be damned if I'm going to spend my time defending a person who took thousands of dollars from people and has, in this case, six years, ignored the problem.
As I said, he remains my friend, he's one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, but he's a shitty businessman - therefore I'm not going to spend my time or stick my nose out there defending the decisions HE made that got him in this mess. I have friends who went from forum to forum and event to event defending his actions, and I told them point blank they were not only carrying a load he was refusing to shoulder, but that his problems were becoming their problems.
Whatever issues Adam has had, there is no excuse for taking someone's money and giving them nothing in return. That money needs to be returned to Andrew and David.
You and I do not know each other, but I'm going to offer you a bit of friendly advice. If you want to ignore it, so be it:
If Adam is going through hard times and he is your friend or a close acquaintance and you want to provide support and friendship - that's cool....... but put up a fire wall between your personal relationship and whatever is going on with what happened in his business world. It is not worth having your name associated with his business issues.

I hear you. I have been saying since early in the thread that if the money is owed and if Adam isn't paying then the people involved should take the appropriate action. That's all. I am just not going to stand by and let people take liberties with their words when it comes to a close friend.

"Liberties" with their word? The only one taking LIBERTIES here is you creating FAKE scenarios on what "possibly" happened. The OP stated his case and provided facts, there's not much else that can be assumed from the FACTS other than Adam is a THIEF.
The simple truth is there is a world of difference between a credit debt and the debt in which ADAM was supposed to PAY for some goods that he didn't pay for. He also LIED about when he would pay and how much he had sent. To me, that's more comparable to SHOPLIFTING than a business loan.
Go back to your forum, Jamie...you aren't doing anything here but making YOURSELF look bad, and making us wonder why it is so important to YOU to rush to defend the indefensible...Oh, friendship..yeah, that's right.
A true friend, would tell his friend to get this taken care of.

I hope the OP looks into the IRS avenue to see if there's any actions he can take from that direction: http://www.irs.gov/localcontacts/art...101292,00.html
