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. 

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

hm  I thought I was the moderator.

Well anyway... I still think the issue at hand is Mike D., HeroRestoration and the theft of money, books and promised services that were never delivered. Been trying to be transparent on my end.  When Zapped Moose9995 discovered that books were being sold by Mike that weren't his to sell, it was an eye-opener for me.  Although the ebay user name was changed from BlueMoonAlways to geekbay_since_2003 I was able to find my book  that had a completed sale and feedback indicating the buyer recieved it (completed transaction). So whether or not Flake / Cantina's intentions were good or bad is irrelevant.  A lot of good has already come out of the new post.  Once the old one was locked it became a dead end, and of course Mike / HR just packed everything up almost without a trace.  Sorry if I'm being overly dramatic, but this whole situation sucks.

All I’d say is don’t start advancing CantinaFlake any money for “legal fees”.

What happens if Mike has already filed for bankruptcy (2020)? Oregon Bankruptcy Court site indicates PACER may provide more info about cases (which I don't have a subscription to, if someone else does). Not sure if the same person: Michael David DeChellis | 6:20-BK-61600 | Court Records - UniCourt. Shows "Pending - Other Pending".

Good advice, and that is not how it went down.  I was warned ahead of time - which was good.  Again, I didn't follow the original locked post that closely, so I didn't realize how crazy it got.  Cantiana and I spoke about a Lawyer and how the cost may be prohibitive.  I also expressed if any legal counsel were retained, I'd need to meet with them face to face, and confirm it was a reputable law firm.  We are no where close to that.  For me it is still early days.  At this point, I'm trying to do what others have done in the past and define the scope of the problem.  How many people, how much money and how much in stolen property?  I"m sure there are many others out there who don't follow these boards and sent in books to be worked on, never to be heard from HR again.  I know this is all about trust which was damaged due to Mike's shady behavior and theft.  I'm just another collector who got burned, and want to help if I can.

This is a great point, and others have pointed out on this board it is like trying to get blood from a stone.  So 1) if he still has books they can be returned maybe they can be retrieved.  2) I'm hoping maybe some legal action can be taken with ebay and or PayPal to see if my book can be returned or some sort of monetary compensation (this would help others in the same boat if in fact the transactions were completed.  He recived positive feedback on mine, so I assume it was)  3) Other avenues to explore.  Were their multiple perpetrators?  Can the stolen, "Break in" books be found?  Is anyone else liable?  People that vouched for him or advertised his services?  And I'm curious if this Bankruptcy just covers him personally, or his business as well.  I'm sure a lot of you know more than I do and can help fill in some of the blanks.  I mean - with his bankruptsy do any of us get a say, can we put in a claim for anything he owes us?  As you see.  I have a lot of questions, but not many answers.

It might be worth paying the few bucks for PACER access.  Depending on the case status and what he put in his original petition, he may have committed, and may still be committing bankruptcy fraud.

—if it is the same Mike.

Good point, but definitely a BIG coincidence there with the name if its not.
