To answer your question- I have no fucking idea. Here's my post from the Avengers LSD thread providing you a walkthrough of his scamming techniques:
----------------------------------------------
"This guy is by far the sleaziest vendor I've come across here. Not only does he charge outrageous prices, he also preys on newbie buyers who get suckered into FE.

He really uses every scam card in the playbook, it's almost impressive. 90% of his listings are lottos (which probably don't even pay out) that he uses to pump up his already abysmal 89% approval rating. If those weren't factored in and the morons who get scammed from him actually knew how to change their "5/5 FE EARLY!" reviews, that'd be close to zero.

Even if you manage not getting scammed, you're paying TWENTY FUCKING DOLLARS for a tab that is probably 50mics at the most, if they're even real LSD (judging by the blotter paper, I'm guessing they're RC's). His other listings are fucking ripoffs as well ( $18 for one 10mg IR Adderall tablet... dear god) Out of the 30 or so reviews I read for his various blotter listings, NONE of them actually were from people who received and tried them.

If you've spent any time here, you might have seen Synaptic's name come up frequently when logging into SR, due to him constantly refreshing his listings to facilitate with his scam attempts. It's shocking how this guy has managed to sell for over a year here with no one calling him out for his bullshit/freezing his account. Maybe he's like SR's equivalent to that Eric Cartman- he's been here so long and his such an obvious scumbag that we all just put up with him.

I don't imagine anyone dumb enough to buy from him will be competent enough to check this forum for reviews. His buyers are naive morons who have no concept of money or the price of drugs. That being said, for the sake of your project's validity and all that is good with the world, I urge you to downgrade him to "bad vendor" status.

More proof of his scammer status:

----------------------------------------------

I apologize if I was a little harsh to his buyers, everyone was a newbie once after all. He's in stealth mode currently (here's his SR profile: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/f9a7bbe59f) , so he must be feeling the heat.

My guess as to why he hasn't been banned? The Silk Road mods haven't pieced two and two together yet and due to his account's longevity (over a year vending). I'm going to see if I can find a way to message the admins though, as this is getting ridiculous. Fuck that guy.

As he seems to have come back I think I'll just bump this thread as it has some interesting things to say about him.

By the looks of his vendor page feedback and stats you would have to be crazy to buy from him. FE for trusted vendor LOL

He is offering good prices on cannabis. No request for FE, until after sale.

Uni, this guy is totally illegitimate. Those prices always are. And he IS requiring FE for everyone, I had to argue with him and get Christy, NorCal, and BayArea (and a couple others) to vouch for me before he'd even let me use the escrow system, and he kept trying to stall me with new excuses of why he couldn't do it, or telling me lies that Christy and NorCal gave him "mixed feedback" about my legitimacy as a buyer. Something you and I both know for a fact to be false(remember the NorCal420 thread battle?)

Bumping all of this guys scam threads, so no one misses this, and makes the mistake of tying up their money on his bullshit scam attempts.

Ahh, I think you read my post wrong. I know one buyer he nailed after the sale.
Anyhow we both agree, stay away. Shit thats twice. The world must have stopped spinning.
Keep up the good work. We both dislike scammers

I don't understand why he's still here ...

I don't understand why he's still here ...

Synaptic "assured me" he would be here for a long time, and that he wasn't a scammer. Funny thing is, no one has reviewed his products in these boards. No one is defending him. The only people who have orders with him are newbs to these boards, some of which have contacted me saying they had sales in escrow w/ the vendor, but that he was acting shady.

You would think if he was legit, we'd be hearing about it by now.

As long as he get buyers he will stay....when he came back he still had the same dates form last year. :P..now he changed them...for as long as i have been on SR and the forums i never read anything good that i can recall. its safe to say, if he had good acid EVERY one would be talking about it.

The Avengers have them listed in the bad section..

i've always stayed as far the fuck away from him as possible...

i wish there was an ignore feature so i didn't even have to look at his listings. i thought he finally went away but low and behold he's back again :\

Well, I contacted Vendor Support again about why this vendor hadn't been banned ... the response was that they're keeping a close eye on it.
