Me and 18 other people filed charges on a crook that was selling on Ebay. We put him in jail, he is now on probation for 5 years and paying restitution. He only got me for $78.00 but he took others for over $1800.00 each on laptop computers. His total theft was about $8000.00 It only took about two weeks to get him jailed, three months to get him sentenced. His attorney bills were over $5000.00 plus he had court cost. E bay had him monitored within 24 hours of their first viable complaint. They shut him down. He came back on under an alias and they caught it right away and his hometown police arrested him. The story is pretty much complete here. I get checks every month from the Victims Recovery Office of his home town police department.
