AKA..........YOU. It took me 5 mins to confirm that you created this new screen name.
Apparently you think OSO is your personal podium for your fight with CME.
I was not on OSO at all the weekend you started your thread, but went back and saw what you had posted and agree 100% with Cashbar on a 30 day break from OSO. It just got extended.

If I remember correctly you told me that these engines were for sale because an OEM customer of yours overseas had bought these engines to put into one of their boats but the customer who ordered the boat had backed out of the deal. Who exactly owned these engines and why where they for sale, and had you done business with them in the past, and who did you actually wire the money to?

Tech speaking really does not matter. Example - If I sent 140 K to company A and company A could not get me my products that were paid for - COMPANY A is 100 percent responsible to either produce the products that was paid for or REFUND the money ASAP. NO questions about it... You do not take someones money and then do not deliver . . Business 101 - I am suire every excuse in the book was already thrown out plus many no answered phone calls nor returned phone calls. The other side of the coin here is -- could be looked at as a huge act of fraud and deception. How does anyone know what the real truth is here. . - we all have ocean front property for sale in AZ..

Has any payments been made back to the persons out of 140 K ? Instead the money is going to lawyers - right

you took money from a client, the responsibility falls 100% on you to make them whole and then go whatever way you have to to recoup your funds. You cant just tell someone that your supplier screwed you. I would have a suit against you as of yesterday.. thats the same crap that trick marine pulled.

And this has taken place since Aug 2018 Over a year has past and I bet not one dime was paid back to poor ED. but CME runs around business as usual filing off manu part serial numbers and restamping used props selling them as brand new.. All of this fraud to the highest level taking advantage of boaters with a lot of BS

Just as many had no idea that Merc parts come with serial numbers as well and the reasons why they are stamped and not to be removed. ... I hope you guys finally can see threw the BS that has gone on many of times with CME. He feels sorry about this 140 K deal and per his words has hired a Law firm but only after 14 months down the road. Wow a real sense of urgency going on to get Ed paid back and then comes up with his post like that is going to justify all this.... Again more play on words... So who is paying the lawyers ?? .Why pay them - why not pay ED instead of paying retainer fees and Lawyer high price tags and again why 14 months later - WOW. .. . Also We are talking about OVER 140 K here fellow boaters . How do we know where the 140 K really went on Aug 2018 and why 14 months later - a supposed Law firm hired. yeah right - I question mark that as well. ?? . Another huge screw job in the boat industry. What a way to give the marine industry another huge bad name. So wonder many are leaving this hobby and way of life.. Pay the man his over 140 K back. because in many states that's a felony. . Theft by deception and post 124 can certainly be brought into that deception portion.

I think that deed to the condo should be on its way to MO in the mail box at BTM... Man can believe if you pulled that crap in Little Italy New York. and 14 months with someones 140 K. -- be like Jimmy Hoffa

I'd think Mercury would be react positively if they were deluged by a bunch of concerned boat owners regarding the mishandling of factory parts and the mishandling of customer funds during the sales of Mercury parts
