Yes they have access to a probably multiple & it appears they are really delivering. But anybody who lost their $ on jedboards paying for a Tesla is shit out of luck on the deal.
So donāt care the level of business relationship, lies and very patronizing way to approach the community. Which is why I have no purchases since day1.
Iāve bought nothing from either of them, yet I want to believe that their relationship is no deeper than what Jeff claims⦠I just want to believe the best in people and hope they are honest⦠Even though that often is just a puff of unicorn fart
This thread is expanding faster than the edge of space, somebody has to write a TLDR for this all. I can get why Jeff would had lied about not knowing Jed to avoid bad association and speculations once found out about his bad history. The problem with that is when confronted more lies are required to back up previous statements. Im not entirely sure this all could have been avoided even if Jeff was honest about his connection to Jed from the beginning. I mean, if itās true that he didnāt know about Jedās history and had nothing to do with him except for the help he got with the websites I canāt really blame Jeff. The problem now however, how do we know what to be trusted when lies have been discovered (and admitted to)?
Im curious about what people are actually pissed about, being lied to or the connection to Jed Bogan?
Mike Bill and Andrew deserve your utmost respect for this development
A lot of work went into it obviously and the only reason for that dedication is to protect this community we have worked so hard to build. They have successfully weeded out a potential
forum wide scam and for that they deserve your thanks.
This is fair. If Jeff had not completely backpedaled his story, wouldāve been much easier to defend him⦠The full 180 makes it very hard to see the good side.
If its too good to be true then it usually is but thats because I have been alive far longer than you.
I think they have an established business arrangement and used this forum to promote it deceptively but hey you keep on believing until you are out of pocket. Me I will continue to be sceptical of esk8 saviours.
Heh I never saw it that way. Handful of focbox clones and hub drives never sparked my interest tbh. I guess Iām just a little confused if Jedās motto was take money and not deliver, but Jeffās idea is to actually send out parts (allegedly), I assume the āarrangementā would involve Jed getting a cut of profit from Jeffās sales, but why would Jeff bother if he can just keep all the profit? Other than supposedly Jed built the website, what else did he have to offer to Jeff?
@Luke s situation was abit different, I think everyone still trusted him. But since he got ill and future of the project/deliveries felt very uncertain since everything went radiosilent, people ran to dispute when the 6 month paypal window was closing. In the end I applaud @Luke for sorting this out tho and the decks in my possesion are pieces of art.
I never expect timeplans to hold. Doing so would be very naive. But when the vendor dissapears you really dont have much of a choice.
No that is not the case at all. He just got in over his head as did JPot. Instead of making good on the mistakes of the past he developed and sold a great brand of california produced wheels.
No recompense for the multitude of poor bastards who bought into the Jed Board mania. It was the first gear drive board??
It was how he handled himself after the fact that makes him so heinous.
The fact that he can develop new parts and then sell them while still being in massive debt to this community is what galls. The fact that he used a different persona to achieve that is even worse.
This lot are all fucking idiots lol, they will buy anything if you say its good lol
Thats what really galls.
Hows that thane working out on the hubs? 40amps? Meepos are better.
Bullshit meter is pinging off the radar.
Guess we need some nasty streetface incidents with bad escās before we finally wake up?
Thereās a guy on our forum who has taken tens of thousands of dollars in pre order money for products that are now half a year overdue and passing paypal dispute dates for many, heās now confirmed to be associated with a known scammer and has met him in person and had his website developed by him. He also blatantly and repeatedly lies when asked any difficult questions about his activities.
Sounds like the kind of vendor I want to do business with
Big baby tantrum, yāall sooo unforgivable. Poor Jeff has had the shitiest day ever. I understand he lied about some stuff but have mercy on his soul, he is actually still here replying to u. At least he hasnāt left like that cunt Jason did.
Did Jeff deliver some⦠products? YES
Is he trying to resolve? Maybe
Has he scammed the community? NOT YET
Did he ever associate with JED? YES
Honestly, this thread has shown me the true face of many members on this forum, it hurts to see.
The part that makes me uneasy is he claims to know nothing of Jed, but after put on the spot, now claims Jed helped him make a website etc etc⦠Why the first lie? Although I do agree some members on here are quite the lynch mob leader, I canāt help but agree that something fishy is going on there and there is more to the story than Jeff let up so farā¦
