    A crime was committed here and all the people ripped off need refunding until that is done we should not be so quick to forgive, ES has to make good on his word to pay everyone back. , as they still may not get their money back there is no guarantee of that . Andrew Reid can be the final say on ES and his fate on this site.

    No the one he posted is just a "16" I have a feeling it's an older version (pre A,S,D etc), it's similar in size and make to a 16s but slightly different. You can use 16s clamp. It has blue flares and pretty good image quality, I bought one for my brother in law.

    You know what though, if the kid had the balls to post a photoshopped pic of the two only photos of Sr., Jr and/or the III, he would regain a little of my respect back...

    Also nuclear scientists are experts in radiation. A radiologist is a lab technician who analyzes x rays scans etc.
    My friend is a radiologist at cornell hospital in nyc

    Seriously, this is just getting sad now. This kid obviously really does enjoy this forum and he obviously cannot keep up with the plethora of lies he has told over the years. I've been relatively active in this forum for the past year and I never even knew there was allegedly 2 people... I always thought there was only one. However, I do remember a time when Enrahim posted some gh4 footage, but I have yet to see anything else from him. You would think the owner of a media company and a 1dc would upload some test footage somewhere... Hell I upload every boring, poorly colored footage I do so I can see it in multiple screens and get better... But nothing from Ebrahim.
    I think @Oliver Daniel suggestion would be a quick and easy way for Ebrahim to clear this up. 
    Clear this up... Or come up with a better story, because the sad, victim is boring and hardly worth the narrative of these past 16 pages.

    Hello everyone, there has been a gesture from Ebrahim through a personal message. We'll see if the deeds follow the words. Perhaps we should give this a few days. Thank you all.

    Care to provide any of the evidence of your grandfather's identity or media company that people have been requesting in this thread?

    You sound exactly like the fucking scammer. Funny how you break your word not to return now that you're freaking out about things getting too hot.

    This second post is just as weird...

    It's pretty likely someone very close to you is the culprit (if it's really you typing Snr), as they have access to and knowledge about your gear, they also have your password (or worked it out), so surely there aren't that many possible suspects. I highly doubt many people would be able to put all those things together well and also know the finer details about an obscure piece of equipment such as the SLR RF and know it was actually worth something (it just looks like a cheap filter to any normal person). Also a common thief would just steal this product, not try and scam people online... Suspects are fairly limited I would say, unless you have an army of people working for you? Also this stuff has gone missing only recently, which should make it pretty easy to narrow down.

    Honestly, I don't buy the story, but posting pictures (even when freely available on the internet) is out of tone, even disgusting in the case of an older person. One thing is giving our opinions and a different thing is starting a witch hunt. I mean, its 2000$, I wouldn't get too protestantic over it.

    Right.
    Joining a site in December 2013, then put in the effort of writing more than 2000 posts in a forum for two and a half years, to do six scams worth of a few thousand USD? If you want to scam, I think you could have as well done that after the first 300 posts or so...

    You said tried soviet 58mm.  What camera you are using?
    For the ratio, you can test through circle target to figure out.
    Focus through lens is not good thing, IMO.

    I had the same concerns. There are a lot of red flags in this post.
    If he is indeed so wealthy to where he makes the amount of scammed money in a day, then refund it. Don't say you'll refund it "someday" and then say you have no obligation to do anything. 
    And the biggest red flag of all is the "this will be my last post, I'm leaving forever". That is NOT something a innocent person would do. Saying you're worried about more scammers is not a logical concern.
    Someone who was actually trying to make things right would not cut themselves off from us and the victims. But you know who would? A scammer.
    It all just seems very transparent to me. The whole "this is terrible, I'd never do this! I'm so rich, why would I need to do this? Even though I'm so loaded and people were scammed of thousands of dollars in my name, I have no obligation to pay. But I will! Someday....oh by the way I'm never going to come back here again. Bye!" thing is soooo shady.
    It doesn't make sense, people!

    This post reads like bullshit to me..  why not refund the money right now, since you are so well off? Why would you be banned for trying to get on here and sort it out? And why would you say that you have no obligation to refund the money, when you admit it was someone very close to you? Does this not sound like the tone of the young punk and his message on facebook? Is there an Ebrahim Sr, or has it just been a scam all along? If there are 6 people admitted as being scammed, are there really more? Has someone been standing too close to a nuclear radiology machine?  Did we really go to the moon? Will a hero solve the mystery, get the girl, and ride off into the sunset? Time may tell:)

    I'm not saying I'm right, I'm merely throwing some theories out for discussion (this is a forum after all)... I just find it ironic that people now think that this is Snr typing, I mean is this not just how everyone got scammed in the first place??? It's not like I'm condemning anyone, just trying to make sense of a strange situation. I'm also sure the truth will come to light in time.

    I haven't thrown out any info, I'm open to all scenarios. I have nothing against  Eb Snr nor do I really think he did it. I'm 100% open to all possibilities as well, just adding some food for thought and personal experience/views to the topic. As far as I can see the case is wide open.
