Mike was an Ebay buyer, and he did indeed stiff a man on an alarm
parts purchase. The guy he screwed (I believe his name was Rich or
Dave) used the ebay name dabulls, lived in Chicago, holds an Illinois
license, and posted here from time to time. When the guy complained to
Mike about not receiving the payment Mike started posting negative
feedback on him. I personally dealt with this guy, and found him to be
a very honest gentleman. Mike also admitted to doing it (harassing the
guy) during a phone conversation we had.
Mike had a guy post here for close to 2 years complaining about a BB
gun he bought from Mike on Ebay.
I don't know anything about him stealing from ADT, but he did claim to
be a manager for them, and he did admit to having an 8th grade
education.  Mike also claimed to be an employee of AOL.
Robert has told some whoppers in his day but this time he's as right
as rain in regards to Mike's Ebay antics.
