Hi All
I would just like to take this opportunity to confirm that the TLD reel affair that saw a number of Ausfish members lose money seems to have come to a close at last.
The perpetrator of the scam is now in detention and will not be released until at least the middle of next year.
Cheers

be nice if they lost the keys for a couple more years, any one got a friend of a friend paying a visit on the inside.
cheers

Good to hear there was some closure
That seems like an eon ago
I never got any money back and I suspect that no-one else did either. Good to hear he is doing some time and I hope he drops the soap frequently.

Hi All
I spoke to the detective who was covering the case yesterday and expressed our thanks. He was also relieved!

Great news Pete, it took a bit of time, but the outcome is justified. I wonder if they got him on more than just the TLD's?
Tim
Very good news. But he should have to repay people out of future earnings or something. Complete justice.
what was the tld affair, i missed it, any thread you can point me to?
cheers

You say fish, I say yes please.
Hi Guys
The offender got done for more than just the TLD reel scam.

What was the scam???
the deal was a long time ago (guessing 2 years) there was a new member that had on offer in the for sale section (hence the reasons for the non new members seller untill x amount of posts) quite a few tld reels of different sizes, these reels were paid for in good faith by some ausfish members and other members of the public but the reels never exsisted so all these people were out of pocket. It seems that after all this time some (very little) justice has been handed out.
cheers

The courts may order he pay restitution on top of gaol or any other order, but realistically, he aint gonna pay it back is he?
lock the cell door throw away the keys.
