Whoa!!!  I missed this in your earlier posty, Jim.  Surely you know that
Sabodish was a pathological liar, nearly as prolific as OIson.  I hope you
didn't abandon a distributor based on that maniac's mutterings.  I don't want
to disrespect the dead but everyone knows the man was crazier than Cracker and
dumber than Bush.

>> I witnessed the auctions myself from this ebay seller...

Perhaps, but Sabodish was also a prolific eBayer and he even admitted selling
stuff that "fell off a truck" to his own customers.  He may have been the one
doing those online sales.  I was contacted one eBayer who said that Sabodish
ordered from him, on a pretense filed for a chargeback and then sold the
stolen merchandise on eBay.  There really wasn't any dirty trick beneath him.

>> Every item was right out of the ADI catalog...

So?  Among the 242,500 products on my website, nearly 15,000 are direct from
ADI.  You've seen dealers complain here that I sell some ADI products for less
than they pay for them.  Just because someone selling them in an online store
or via eBay doesn't mean that ADI is involved.

Have you been to an ADI branch lately?  Seen any ADI trailers?  The whole
story sounds like something Mike made up in his head.

I doubt it ever happened, especially the way he told it to you.

Not only that, but Mike also claimed that he sold purloined company equipment
on the side when he worked for ADT.  Of course, he also said he was the
supervisor of their central station though he admitted that he never passed
8th grade.
