Super late to this discussion.. I have an email from Mike.. in Nov 2023 stating he was backed up and would get back to me.  This was from the contact@hrcomics.com account. He has my ASM 15. I know it was disassembled a couple years ago to add a page (that was missing and purcheds seperatly). I know it isn't a huge book but I would like to get it back or some of the money I paid for it. 

Currently my emails are going unanswered. I have seen random solutions on this thread. Can someone give me next steps? I think I paid him with my credit card.. but like many of you my preference is to get my book back.. even if it is in pieces.. it took a long time to round up the exact missing page to make it complete (married). 

Email me at randyhampton127@gmail.com 

You can join our legal action. 

And ignore the 12 year old's comments that will follow. 

Thanks

Randy

What legal avenues ?

There’s clearly no money left…

Not going to discuss in a public forum.   Just email us or dm me.

Actually,  I'll send you a dm.

Thank you, it was a very stressful experience, and I’m relieved it’s over with.

The fact that I’ve lost over $65,000 just has to be put behind me.

Well, if you haven't explored all your legal avenues feel free to email me and join us.  It's far from over.

Or send a pm and we'll do a zoom call.

Thanks

Are you saying that you and the original poster are the same person?

  I thought I was the moderator.

No, we are not the same person.   We are colleagues.

So yeah. I met with Catalina but Flake was not on the call. Flake apparently works for Catalina and has access to his email. As I’m writing this it sounds odd to me too. But honestly I don’t care. I still want to focus on Mike D / HR and figuring out what we can do if anything. I mean this seems to be a massive crime and we can’t do anything?  It’s ridiculous. 

Yes...it's me, Randy.  I created the flaketapper@gmail.com account because I didn't want Mike to know who we are at the time.  Mike knows the cantina address.   But now that we are finally getting things moving it's irrelevant. 

And I'll say it again,  for those of you who think this is a game, stay out of the thread and move on.  Your childish, snarky comments don't help those out who lost huge books and a lot of money.

Why is there a user named "Cantina201" that's separate from a "Flake Tapper" whose gmail address is "cantina201"? "Flake" even defends "Cantina201" as if separate in this thread (on page 47). (Cantina started this thread btw fwiw)

Quite possibly we are business partners. 

Hi all:

My name is Randy Hampton. 

This will be my final post here as we are preparing to move forward with legal action and put this entire situation to rest.

If you are stil out books and money,  you can email me at cantina201@gmail.com. 

Others here have already joined and participated in our zoom call.

We have other avenues to pursue beyond just Mike.  So join us now.

Thanks

Books were stolen haha.

So you’re saying that you believe EVERYONE who has come to this thread and confirmed they received their books back is lying?  Including several long time members with seemingly no reason to lie and cover for Mike?

No, that's not what he's saying.   He's saying that Mike probably has returned some books to stave off potential legal action but he knows others are not taking action.   And there's still a lot of us out here with no resolution.     Rather than battling each other, let's focus on Mike, and the people out tens of thousands of dollars,  or more.  Keep your eye on the ball.

I don't often like to call out specific users here, but I need to just make a statement.

The user Flake Tapper has posted here talking about pursuing legal action, and several users have had communication with them and stated they feel red flags are popping up. I am not saying they are serious or not, I am simply recommending anyone conversing with them be mindful of what information they are sharing. 

It just seems very odd to me that someone serious about taking legal action is hesitant to even tell anyone of us what books they submitted to Hero Restoration - to that end they have refused to fill out the survey so I can't even confirm they are a victim. It is also odd that they are not at all interested in obtaining a list of contacts from me of victims who have already expressed interest in taking legal action, nor are they interested in communication with me, the one and only person on the boards that Mike has remained in contact with.

Hi:

This is directed at you and to the other person who responded. 

We all want to protect each other.

We are not afraid of Mike. 

We will be finalizing our strategy on Monday. 

All that we ask is that you meet us on a zoom call and we can both see each other.   We will then detail all that we lost and we can move forward together. 

If we were Mike or you were concerned we are affiliated with him we wouldn't want to meet on a zoom call and prove who we are.  There is no upside to us giving one person all of our information,  the same as there is no upside to you giving us all of your information.   But if we talk live you will understand the gravity of our situation and yours.

Hope to see you soon.

Thanks again.

Yes, but we know that as a fact at this point - not just 'good reason to believe'. You might need to re-read this entire thread as I'm getting the sense you are missing a few things.

The business is permanently closed, and has been for months now. All that is left is for him to dissolve the current LLC and start any necessary other actions (bankruptcy, insurance claims etc). He has sold customer books (the only thing most are questioning now is his claims of it being accident vs intentional, and how many / which books have been sold). 

 

I am aware of all that.  I'll be in touch soon.

Have we considered the possibility Flake Tapper, new account, isn’t Mike claiming to be someone taking legal action to get victims to “sign up” with him for “legal action” that isn’t actually happening just so that they don’t pursue legal action of their own? Just a thought…

No, 

I'm not him.  We not only have good reason to believe he closed Hero and took our money but also that he has sold  our books.

Surely, he'll include the $200 he made here when he sends my other books back.

Please contact me through private message.   We are pursuing legal action now.

On 12/23/2023 at 11:14 PM, Sauce Dog said:

We already know where it is. I'm just not sharing that info publicly for obvious reasons (those who are initiating legal action however can request the information from me)

Please contact me regarding legal action we are taking if you have books with him.

Thanks
