Is vb.org at least going to censure this bloke, It seems a little daft that he is still able to get customers from this site while he is being accused of something as serious as this.

He has accepted that he has taken the guys money, he has made no effort to return it other than a token $20 and yet he is still able to go about his business as he sees fit and ignore this thread.

He has a sig directing you to his site where i can only assume he solicits work this in itself may be enough to convince some people of his trustworthyness.

Are the staff at vb.org willing to turn a blind eye whilst its own members get robbed by another member? We understand that vB.org and its staff are in no way responsible for this guys actions but if when faced with a mountain of evidence and the fact that the guy has admitted taking the cash and doing no work for it you do nothing not even stopping his ability to procure customers via an advert in his sig perhaps you are accepting certain responsibilitys.

Should this user have restrictions placed on his account that stop him being able to advertise his own site (so members from here dont go there to get robbed), there are a few more restrictions I think would be prudent for instance the ability to PM those asking coders to do paid work in the service forum, Is he able to solicit for work that way?

This really is unacceptable, You must be able to see that by doing nothing you are complicit in the deceit and condoning his actions.
