How is that guy even still walking around?
Even able to walk? It blows my mind no one has found him and gotten their "money back", or turned him in.
How is he making money? Surviving?
We can solve cold case murders using 40 year old DNA, but can't find where mark resides or works... It's mind numbing.
I am absolutely in no way trying to stir up a can of bad memories, but damn would I love to partake in getting retribution for what he did....

A few thoughts on this. As much as Mark is a talented modder/designer, his fatal flaw is that he's not a businessman and has showed a bad track record of managing projects and business-related activities. This is not a dig on him. This is very common in the industry, and you have pedal makers, amp builders etc.. springing up all of the time and dont stay in business because they don't have business skill. Look and Dave Friedmand and Bogner. They have people that manage the business side for them, and they enjoy the longevity in an otherwise competitive market. I think there is a possibility Mark never returning peoples amps perhaps had more to do with him not having his shit together than starting with the intention of ripping people off. That's where the line gets muddy between civil and criminal.
Based on my observations, he has not yet demonstrated any level of trust to operate either alone or the with the people he surrounds himself with. While they may be well intentioned, they don't have the business or financial backing for any level of success. Furthermore, we've seen when partnered with business savvy individuals with financial backing ala Brad King/Friedman collaboration, not only did he hold back on using his actual designs, he didn't follow through on the second product, Old Bitch, and there was a level of generic fill in the blanks with the circuit design.
I am afraid unfortunately that he's burnt too many bridges. Anyone that sends him a deposit while he's working on his own or with his handlers, it a gamble and I think one should be prepared to lose money. I don't know who's going to back him to build complete amps and sell them upon completion, but I just don't see sane people sending deposits as long as it's just him and his inner circle. The only chance I could see of success would be to do something with BAD where he's taken completely out of the business and operational channels and simply gets a cut, but I don't see that as viable option based on the history of associated drama.
That said, I would love to see him put out a product that the masses could enjoy and he enjoy some level of success in the process.
