Krieger
Since the OP on the very first thread I have had my reservations on this whole deal. Ian appeared to be a reputable dealer, with lots of followers over the years. But after a post regarding an email to Krieger, I decided to go with my gut and send an inquiry to Krieger myself. I got a reply back overnight which I have but will not release except to the RCMP. I will paraphrase however, and am awaiting permission from Krieger to post the email they sent me word for word.
Krieger says they regret the lack of communication between Ian and his customers, they also have not heard from him in several months by multiple emails to multiple addresses and 2 phone numbers. They have shipped any barrels which were paid for to him, and have either returned unpaid for barrels that Ian had ordered to stock, or cancelled them outright.
I tend to stay very reserved on issues like this as forums tend to get things blown out of proportion in a hurry, hence I have held my tongue for sometime. But after this email from Kreiger, I will be submitting my complaint and paperwork to Chase RCMP (thanks Jefferson, be in touch directly). I will not slam Ian in any way at this point, I am simply looking to have the issue resolved and will await word from the RCMP. A thousand bucks down the drain is something that could potentially get under ones skin in a hurry however....
There's stories that he has some sort of ailement, stories that he's crusing Vancouver without a care in the world, but as second and thirdhand information they are just that, stories at this point to me. The only thing I am acting on is the lack of communication with him directly, and the email I have now received from Krieger.
Also, as a side note, has anyone else noticed that Obtunded (Ian) has not logged onto CGN since August? At lease the last time I checked.
