I think you're being a bit kind here, Ken. Missing a shipping deadline by a few days or a week is one thing if an explanation is provided (note - not being done is a valid excuse). Telling someone that their amp is done, ready to ship, packed and ready to go, etc. is way more than just bad business and is clearly an intentional deception. I mean he knows the amps aren't done when he says that. As to when the lies become fraud I don't know, but I don't blame some of the participants here from feeling defrauded. Whether or not they have been in the legal sense is probably left up to lawyers to decide.
