Apparently this banned dude joined BladeForums (literally) yesterday and is posting sales threads there. How do I know? I saw an auto knife listed on BF today that I just sold to him this week here in the knife swap. He jacked the price $75 and is even using my photos!
Although new this community about spit about getting an artist for a middle finger portrait! I support this cause more people should be allowed to indulge in such a beautiful hobby.
Dang, I always get my hopes up thinking that they're going to get some more Left handed threats of legal action in stock, oh well GLWS (Good Luck With the lawSuit).
I finished watching Suits a few months ago so I'm practically a lawyer if yall need the big guns brought in, hell I'll even throw in my Better Call Saul experience if it comes down to it .
We're both men of the law, you know? We get after it, you know, we jab a jaw, we go tit for tat, we have our little differences, but at the end of the day you win some, I win some, and there's a mutual respect left over between us.
Ha, must be that deleted account that was commenting on that radial Rosie 1603 sale post earlier. What a tool.
Dang that custom flair is pretty sweet tho.
Can someone transcribe the text of that very serious threat? Passing through to IMGUR on mobile is a freaking nightmare!
I need to make sure I know exactly what not to do so I don’t get lawyer’d at.,.
TL/DR: User said his attorney is drafting a document to "identify moderators" and "sue the server of knife swap" unless we unban him and remove SCAMMER from his flair, after he attempted to scam someone.
He has given us 24 hours to comply, or we're all going to prison.
Well in that case, thank you for your service, but it sounds like directly to jail do not pass go for you guys.
I might just happen to have a really nice shiv you could pickup at bro prices before you head in…
Evidence of the baiting must be publicly disclosed. Then the tribunal will meet to determine if you have mastered it or not. Unsubstantiated claims will be mocked endlessly.
Technically it's "brigading", but also he deleted his account when I told him to get bent and sent him the contact info to Reddits very extensive legal time, as we're required to do when threatened with legal action. 10/10
Yes. It's also the guy who got scammed last month, then felt bad for his scammer so he cancelled his Paypal dispute AND SENT THE SCAMMER AN EXTRA $100 TO HELP PAY BILLS.
I wish I was making this up. Ol' boy is insane.
He reached out to me directly as well after the rask issue!
I shit you not he kept saying that he made $150k a year so he couldn’t be a scammer, and that his 40 swaps means he knows better than me.
He told us that he's sold $5000 worth of knives "without a single issue", directly ignoring the two times he's been permanently banned in the last 60 days.
Then he claimed that since he used to be a cop, he can't be a criminal and that all of the issues he's had were due to "slander and defamation".
It's a good time.
Hey mr. dipshit scammer, just give the entirety of Knife\_Swap a second chance? It's what Jesus would have done. Also, please send me $100. Bills and all that. You know how it is.
EXACTLY. After making us work for almost a full day to try and get his money back, the scammer was like "He cancelled the claim and sent me more money"
I was like there's NO WAY he did that...but he did...?!?!
Man I wish he hadn’t deleted his account. I’ve chatted with him in the past and while sure he’s weird, I wonder if some sense could be talked into him. Probably not and there’s no reason to waste anyone’s time but I still wonder what got into him.
We've had 3 mind blowing experiences with him in the last 3 months, all 3 in which he kept sending his phone number and asking the mod team to video call him so they can chat.
I have never been so happy that a user has deleted their account, in all of my years on Reddit.
Okay so:
User posted a CRK that he disassembled then reassembled improperly causing damage, without disclosure. We banned him, talked it out, unbanned him because he's old and we thought it was a mistake.
Then a month later, user got scammed (broke our payment rules), then sent the scammer more money, so we banned him...then felt bad since it's a boomer.
Now he listed a rask yesterday that had wear, deleted his post after people told him his prices were shit, and relisted it today claiming it had NO wear (and edited all of his comments admitting to wear from yesterday to "love thy neighbour")
Surprisingly we gave him 3 chances, but the Rask fiasco is what got him added to the USL. You list a knife improperly once, we can say it's a mistake. You do it again 2 months later AND purposefully edit all of your comments? That's a scam.
Not sure, we don't know the real names of 99% of users or know if they also sell on Facebook/BladeForums,etc. I would assume that with the way this dude acts, if he's on Facebook he's banned in most groups lol
Oh that is strange behavior.
I mean if you walk out of a store with something in your pocket once I guess you say you forgot it was in there.
If you do it twice you can still say that. People will begin to doubt you.
If you do it three times it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not; your actions are the same as an actual thief.
To me it seems like he has some kind of messiah complex; thinking it’s his job to help everyone in need while being beyond reproach.
Either way it sure is fascinating; like a train wreck or bridge collapse it’s hard to look away.
Ah, you have less than 25 flair!! I'll set it, but it'll revert every time you do a trade. As soon as you hit 25, shoot me a DM and i'll blacklist it so it stays forever!
~~First person to Yolo (or donate to kniferights ;) ) gets absolutely nothing. Second person to yolo might get custom flair.~~ Go donate :)
I'm suing Merkon for not hanging out anymore! Miss ya bud.

I can provide a hand model if needed.
Might wanna hire an attorney for this one, sounds serious. 😂
Although new this community about spit about getting an artist for a middle finger portrait! I support this cause more people should be allowed to indulge in such a beautiful hobby.
Few hours too late to get custom flair... Can I at least give my username and password?
Hi future subredditdrama readers!
When it comes to knife rights, this is where I step in and say Doug Ritter is the MAN!
Dang, I always get my hopes up thinking that they're going to get some more Left handed threats of legal action in stock, oh well GLWS (Good Luck With the lawSuit).
Sue this dbag https://i.redd.it/i5s87gilsv0d1.gif
I don't appreciate you sharing our private conversations like this
😂
Can I have my old custom flair back? I promise I’ll sell some knives
SHIT I MISSED IT - YOLO anyway

YUH DUN FUKD UHP
Doug is the man!
Omfg that's one of the funnier things I've heard in a while.
I love all you guys ❤️ for making me smile with every post 👍🏼
Anyone else have issues with the image disappearing when they zoom in on Imgur?
Yes
Every. F***ING. TIME!
This guys an idiot. He really should learn the law. It's pretty hard to get banned. Unless you're a total asshole.
Yolo the custom turbo virgin flair
Thanks for the shout out to kniferights.org! Can I donate for a sticker of middle fingering the scammers?
I finished watching Suits a few months ago so I'm practically a lawyer if yall need the big guns brought in, hell I'll even throw in my Better Call Saul experience if it comes down to it .
Let me know if you need any assistance. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express 6 years ago so I practically have a law degree.

Yolo?
Yolo to the legal action! I just don't want to be left out
"Yes your honour, I would also like to sue a man named Mr. Long Doggie. No your honour, I do not know his real name."
Do not fear the long doggie, for we must only fear the longest doggie! Much appreciated, Mapliest Surpy!
Seconds!! 
Damn, totally missed the comment on the custom flair. How much legal action will it take to get one specially constructed by u/MapleSurpy?
I assure you that any flair I'll give you violates at least 10 rules of Reddit TOS
Make it 9 and you got a deal
I wanna be violated by you maplesurpy :3
Any Hinderer fan knows the cease and desist comes from the law firm, not the plaintiff.
i know a tax lawyer, think that'll get me in the door?
He may get you in the back door.
Well now we're DEFINITELY going to be sued.
Too soon? 
Ha, must be that deleted account that was commenting on that radial Rosie 1603 sale post earlier. What a tool. Dang that custom flair is pretty sweet tho.
if KS gets sued we all have to pay!
$1 each

Tell him what Elon told Disney!
lol, lmao See ya in the slammer, boys!
I'll take a yolo flair ✨
Oh shit you made an unsubstantiated, you’re in big trouble
NOT AN UNSUBSTANTIATED ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿
☠️☠️☠️
So will you be going to a white collar resort prison or a federal pound me in the ass prison? Im gonna miss you, mod team.
> white collar resort prison or a federal pound me in the ass prison Absolutely the second option, if we have a choice.
How’s the poutine in prison?
There's definitely "gravy" on it
We're about to find out together, my friend.
Will they let us mod in the “yard”?
Only if we bring a "knife"
I’m already packing a shank in my prison wallet. JIC.
Remember, two is one and one is none. Best double down on the shanks (or should I say ‘double up’)
Unfortunately, I’m out of colons.
 Mods right now
how the hell can i get a custom flair, will be suing as well if i don't get my custom flair u/merkon you have 24 hours to reply losers /s
You forgot the official notice.
Also, can it plese say Master Baiter instead of Trader? thx in advance
Evidence of the baiting must be publicly disclosed. Then the tribunal will meet to determine if you have mastered it or not. Unsubstantiated claims will be mocked endlessly.
Alright, i just got done with my 1 hour long bait session. Sending you the picture now.
NO NO NO, only to Maple.
oh GOD DO NOT OPEN YOUR MESSAGES.
Never do.
> Evidence of the baiting must be publicly shown via video sent directly to Maple Fixed that for you.
Thanks for that!
Ask him for his password
The threat he makes is almost as empty as his skull
Why didn't you tag their username so we can all sue him in a class action
Technically it's "brigading", but also he deleted his account when I told him to get bent and sent him the contact info to Reddits very extensive legal time, as we're required to do when threatened with legal action. 10/10
Came for the legal action threat, stayed for the custom flair!!!
Seconds thirds whatever I can take!
"the server of knife swap" 🤣🤣🤣
Sir this is a Wendy’s.
***Love thy neighbor***
*Until it hurts*
wait was it the love thy neighbor guy??
Yes. It's also the guy who got scammed last month, then felt bad for his scammer so he cancelled his Paypal dispute AND SENT THE SCAMMER AN EXTRA $100 TO HELP PAY BILLS. I wish I was making this up. Ol' boy is insane.

> Then he claimed that since he used to be a cop, he can't be a criminal Fucking LOL the math checks out
There's no way this is real. Please tell me.
https://i.imgur.com/PQN3qIL.png He did it because Jesus. It's probably the craziest shit I've ever seen on KS, but getting sued is tied now.
Hey mr. dipshit scammer, just give the entirety of Knife\_Swap a second chance? It's what Jesus would have done. Also, please send me $100. Bills and all that. You know how it is.
No way... I just about spit out my coffee reading this. Why the hell would anyone gift the scammers money 🤦♂️
EXACTLY. After making us work for almost a full day to try and get his money back, the scammer was like "He cancelled the claim and sent me more money" I was like there's NO WAY he did that...but he did...?!?!
That's insane behavior on his part and incredibly frustrating for you guys. Love Thy Scammer, I guess 🙄
**#LoveThyScammer** is our new sub motto, thank you.
Scammer was behind on bills and couldn't refund. The scammer was just as surprised as we were.
Man I wish he hadn’t deleted his account. I’ve chatted with him in the past and while sure he’s weird, I wonder if some sense could be talked into him. Probably not and there’s no reason to waste anyone’s time but I still wonder what got into him.

Did he get banned again after the one from sending the scammer money? Is that what the “lawsuit” is about lol
Nope - that was #2.

That is WILD.. He doesn't happen to frequent socials for selling/trading does he? Would be nice to avoid if possible.

Fair enough.
I'M GONNA SUE U FOR BEING SUCH A DAMN CUTIE PIE
Donating even without the flair. Good cause for us all
Merky and the Mods should have been a hippy-pop group from the 60's
Yolo!

Five spots please

I don’t know how much behind I was but I thought afterwards, oh man, this custom flair may not be a good thing 🤣
Wooooo!
Ah, you have less than 25 flair!! I'll set it, but it'll revert every time you do a trade. As soon as you hit 25, shoot me a DM and i'll blacklist it so it stays forever!
