For those who missed it, TonK's scam of the century

[Ruldra]

ALSO ROFLOL

So japhei is a valued member of their community? Apparently being a scammer gives you good rep.

[Udderdude]

And yes, the AF3/Tonk/DavidG drama is ridiculous, but that is the nature of our little NeoGeo community over there, wouldn't change it for the world.

As long as it all stays over there and doesn't spill over here, if you've got any more TonK-alikes over there, please keep them occupied. >_>

[moh]

It's like you guys can't just play videogames and talk about them

I think this is something that we all need to read to ourselves.

TonK is a shitty user handle to begin with.

[rancor]

He's named after cheap Korean candy.

[drauch]

Why do you guys hate Tonk.
He did his best. He didn't try and rip people off.
He's been in this business longer than anyone.
Why does he type like this.
Why did he type like this.

You're missing the two/three ENTER hits between sentences.

And a stratospheric price evaluation.

[Udderdude]

And a baseless claim that you're a scammy scam scammer looking to scam everyone. p.s. scam.

[Drachenherz]

Scam scam scam scam, scam scam scam scam...

Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam...

Or was it?...

God I remember how tonk used to go on to grill any scammer he managed to catch out how ironic he turned out to be one himself

[Skykid]

For your entertainment, here's the thread I called Tonk out on over price manipulating in the TS. It was meant to be this useful thread but it got all messed up so I had to relocate it.

I remember that too. What a monumental douchebag...

Cool, I got the final post in that thread.

[BIL]

The only good thing about all this is that TonK doesn't post here anymore. Seriously that guy was so full of himself, always jumping down people's throats over the most minor shit. And then it turns out he's quite shady himself.

Oh you should've seen his drama over at NG.com back around 7-10 years ago. Used to tell everyone he was a gangsta black dude (I don't know why), threaten people with plane tickets to come meet up with him (intimidation) and try to incite other forum members against the owner of the site. Once even told everyone he pistol-whipped a Walmart shopper. The guy is the epitome of "bullshit e-thug".

Not merely quite shady but the real slim shady.

>_>

HE WHITE ROFL! "Damn it feel good to be a gangsta" baaaa hahaha.

Wait... is his name a reference to the Honky Tonk Man? He must be like Roger Moore in Live And Let Die.

Ironically.

How did he get called/found out on that?

[burgerkingdiamond]

I'm glad he's gone. It seemed like he cared more about manipulating PCB prices than anything else.

[Dragoforce]

The only thing I'm pissed about is the fact that he abandoned our STGT team. All because he was busing running away from the greatest video game scam in history.

Dude lacks dedication.

Didn't you ever wonder where we got all those high-end cabinets and six weeks of extra vacation from?

Wow. Just wow.

Wow, I'm surprised a bunch of people gave you shit for an informational thread. Those people should be ashamed.

You were absolutely right about TonK; even before this latest crap it was clear that he wasn't out there for the community. It looks even more sinister with hindsight, though. I'm not used to seeing people argue like that while quite possibly not believing any of it (I do reserve the right to believe in man's ability to delude himself, though).

I'm going to swing by the wholesaler's tomorrow and get a bulk pack of popcorn for January, when several copies of English KOF 2000 AES will be discovered and a further fascinating human experiment will be observed.

TonK sounds like one of those sound effects from the Batman TV series.

I actually do eat popcorn while I read shit like that.
try it, it really adds to the experience

[BIL]

It's true. Nothing completes the turbo forum shitstorm specator experience like a salty snack, an icy beverage and a comfy chair + footrest.

The BBC and mainstream TV can eat my ass on the best of days, but when the NG.com drama gets its tits out I could practically mail the TV licensing department a dead squirrel. Toe-tagged with a note saying " U DONT KNO DRAMA FGGTS :[ "

[Skykid]

Logic dictates the nature of the thread - information on reprinted goods - would potentially have hurt the values of all the kits he was 'sitting on' (his words), and therefore was not cool for broadcast. That's what I figured at the time, anyway.

[GaijinPunch]

I'm wondering if this will finally make NG collectors w/ far too much disposable income stop throwing so much caution to the wind.
