Chris - I don't know if your ignoring my emails or aren't getting them so I will
try here. You said I could come by and pick up the heatsinks just give you a
time. I emailed you on the 12th and again on the 22nd with no reply. Maybe
your just busy, but could you at least let me know what's going on.

I met Chris this afternoon and picked upI have read through the thread and haven't found an answer to the question about the height of the heat sink. Guestimating from the end view it is about 4.3 inches, but I wouldn't want to get into it without more information. In Nelson Pass' 5/08 AudioXpress article he mentions needing 2 heatsinks per channel, measuring 8 X 6 inches on the base with 2 inch fins. That is a lot more square inch area than the 13.7 X 4.3 (est) base of these heatsinks which have 40 mm (1.6 inch) fins. Unless I am misinterpreting something. Any ideas?
This was posted on 10/22.
Simple question which no one seems willing to answer. Has anyone aside from Fritz, who drove to Chris's house, received the heatsinks yet? Those of you who knew of Chris's reputation and who aren't surprised don't need to chime in, but is his above-quoted statement a lie, or is it not? If you've gotten them, just please speak up and let us know. Otherwise, it will continue to appear as though he collected thousands of bucks and is just sitting on it. - Pat

I don't know where Chris lives, but in Wisconsin we would call this type of misunderstanding a felony, considering the dollar amount of the fraud.
My take on this is that it's one thing to do a group buy, collect money, and place an order that of necessity takes a while to fill. In this case, this was a swap meet ad that stated that the items were on hand, ready to ship, and Chris used PayPal to solicit payment. Whatever his problem is, he compounded it by claiming on October 22 that he had sent the sinks, and he clearly hasn't. That is likely enough to establish the crime of theft by misrepresentation.
I'm sure that hope springs eternal in some, and that the promise of a simple, good chassis for little money continues to cause folks to be quiet and hope for the best, but I'd just say best of luck at this point. - Pat
Man, am I glad I decided to stay away from this buy after what happened in his previous one. Apparently, the goods did get delivered, but the long delays and lack of communication are the same, leaving people no choice but to have to deal with a Paypal grievance just to protect themselves. You would think that the chance of getting stuck with 40 heat sinks and no one to sell them to (at least on this forum) would motivate him to at least communicate while logging in. But not this guy. Not exactly making for a good relationship with Paypal, either. Really poor form.
The dollar amount of this conversion is felony grand theft. I'm filing a complaint with the Washington State AGO. Here's a link: File a Complaint
I know it's pretty frustrating, and I personally account for a large share of the lot.
I have escalated my Paypal dispute to a claim. If you have not done so, you may wish to consider it.
If, for some reason, Paypal is unable to resolve our grievances anyone who would like to join me in a legal action is welcome to send me a private email. I have an attorney in Seattle in mind as we would need local representation. I will cover most or all of the expenses.
I have Chris's address, but not his phone number. If any of you have it, you can email it to me. I'm sure, working together, we can reach some sort of resolution.
Also, if anyone here is a Washington resident, please let me know.
Last question: Are we all reasonably sure that we're actually dealing with Chris Wujek? I noticed in his last debacle, he claimed to have had his email account hijacked.
Sincerely,
Mike
