I've received multiple orders from the USA made more than a week after my meth order with PT.I'm sure Awakened meant that the money should only be garnished after the customers finalise.Just because customers have finalized does not mean they have received their orders or that the orders have even been shipped. FE is par for the course in scams,international and orders which require funds beforehand to pay for their procurement and shipment. Garnishment for the benefit of one individual=unfair to customers, period. I would compare it to be much like privatization of bank profits and nationalizing losses with bank bailouts.There was never any agreement by SR Administrative staff to act as mediators or enforcers of this contract, therefore there is nothing they can do here. I recommended to both parties in a previous post that it should be checked with SR staff first that they'd be willing / able to do this, but apparently no discussion took place about it.It is essentially a case of awakened350 finalising early, and as such, is out of the hands of SR staff. Again, I hope it all works out, but such is the risk we take if we finalise, as must be done with loans.QuoteOne thing I would agree to is a freezing of his account to force some sort of explanation and resolution to all customers.As mentioned above, SR have no right to freeze the account as a result of unpaid loans as this was not agreed to by SR admins. Cases of FE take things entirely out of the hands of SR staff. There is no justification to freeze a vendor's account unless there is proof of them scamming buyers. There does seem to be something up here, and I'm sure if it's an instance whereby a large number of users who stayed within escrow are not getting their products then SR staff will step in; however, we cannot cry 'scam' without proof, and it may just be a case of some packages going missing in transit.Either way SR staff have no say in whether or not one member can loan another money in exchange for a promise of repayment with interest.The loans, though listed on SR, were finalised, which by it's very definition means that the transaction or process has come to a mutually satisfactory conclusion. As far as SR is concerned, the transaction was successful.If a large number of within escrow orders don't show up, or a large number of finalised and in-escrow orders don't show up, then SR will look into the situation and take appropriate action. Loans, though, are essentially out of SR's scope.- grahamgreene
