...something bad must have happend to him...

Yeah.  Greed.

No, something has not happened to him.  Several people have left messages and emails.  Sometimes his answering machine is full and you get a message saying such.  Then a week or two later the answering machine is empty.  Someone is taking the messages and not returning the calls.  On my last few messages I implored the person taking the messages please call back and let me know why John is not returning calls.  Yet, still no replies. 

Yes, like Wat, we have left dozens of messages to no avail :'(.  For a long time, I too thought something must have happened.  At one time, we were friends.  I just could not believe we, and the whole community, had been duped.  Sadly, it appears that that is exactly how it is.  He took off and ripped us all off :'(.

To his credit at one point he did give me a $250 deposit out of the blue to hold until he shipped out the packages (presumably to cover the CF as I was pissed at the time I wasn't getting anything out of him despite all the things he produced), BUT the packages never came and after nearly a month paypal suddenly reversed the charge because he was claiming I never provided him with what he purchased  >:( >:(  So I guess that's not really to his credit.

Geez Gil, I wish you had let someone know about that at the time :(.  John has literally thousands and thousands of forum members' funds.  Maybe if some of us had compared notes at the time, we could have saved others some grief :'(.

Looking back on it, I should have at least vented to someone about it instead of passively taking it in a non-sunshine-seeing area.  Anybody that got took after Jan 2010 I apologize to for not at least giving a heads up about a possible (and in fact, factual) scammer.  I just figured given what he was producing and doing and his rise in "status" here and the circle he got into fairly rapidly, that I woulda just been brushed off with any gripe I brought up.  :-\

The man DID do some amazing work.

He did at that.  He was very involved in the community at one point, which is what makes his betrayal that much harder to take :'(.  Please don't think I am blaming you, hindsight is always 20/20.  I just wish those of us who were affected had come forward much earlier.

I still can't believe this... Even after all the proof is shown. I remember just a while ago I was on YouTube looking at his testing with the (at the time) new 10 watt LEDs or admiring his G-Cores. It makes me wonder how many of us were scammed by Goodman, and how he was getting away with this for so long.

I lost $1300 in downpayments for projects with this guy, PLUS a Parks Obi TPM hilt with the rare 1" blade opening and larger ID.

Whatever, I wrote it off a long time ago.

What a revelation this has turned in to...
Never in a million yr did I think a talented guy like goodman would do such a thing
Don't any of you live near him? And could possibly go knocking on his door?
Or thought about contacting police?

Out of curiosity, other than the huge amount of time that has passed, what has changed between the events of this thread: http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=25078.0

and now? Did people just come to the conclusion that the Asia-traveling thing was a complete sham?

This is interesting....
On a side note, I find it very notable that instead of anger, a lot of sadness is being shown at his leaving.
