Erm, not happy at the insinuation. Unless I misunderstood.

But that cab has nothing to do with RC.

I can't post where I am getting it from, or the rest of the stuff that I am getting, but using my picture in this thread is out of order.

Relax. You just happened to have a pic of a mint cab handy.

PPS: Still no photos of the inventory he acquired.



LOL

continue to go unanswered...wonder why that would be? :dunno

Jesus... really Dan,  er,  I mean Jim?   You're now trying the "I was just a dumbass who didn't know ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---" angle again?   REALLY?  Well guess what Dan,  er... uh...I mean Jim... no one is buying it.

Yours and Dave,  er,  um,  Adam's ---steaming pile of meadow muffin----slingin' days are over. 

Only the occasional sucker/newb is going to buy your story.

I'm going to wager Jim is sorry he ever got involved with any of this.  I'm also going to wager those people that are actually getting things from him are surprised as hell.  I've read everything in this thread, and then, I found the (presently) 111 pages over at KLOV.  I don't think I have the heart to read on.  I don't have a need for a Star Wars yoke, but might like one in the future, as I really love the stand-up SW cab I read about in anothe thread.  As it is, I'm not going to tell anybody where I would buy one, as I value being a Member of the Community and since we're so split on this, I'm not going on anybody's ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- list.

...well, unless someone has a "Hey, this guy is gutless! I'm putting him on my list!" ... err ... list.

I read that he's somehow involved with taking over operations - not that he was involved with Dave from the beginning of the issues.  Am I incorrect?

You'll have to read the book.  (at KLOV)

Yes... you are incorrect.  Jim Bloomquist has been attached to RAM CONTROLS since at least 2006.

I stand corrected.  Please accept my apology.  I read this thread really, really, really late last night.  Some of the words undoubtedly blurred together.

So, Jim gets a "Tip o' The Hat" for at least coming forward and doing something positive - credits, getting people stuff, etc - that seems to be proven by a minimal number of people in this thread, and a "Wag o' The Finger" for the deceptive nature of ... well, everything else.

Damn, and I really, really wanted to think happy thoughts about this today.  GDI.

You need to go read the KLOV thread. Jim deserves a hell of a lot more than a wag of the finger.  Adam/Dave still works at RAM and Jim has been funneling him thousands of dollars while lying to everyone here about it. Jim deserves a permanent ban....

Oh, I didn't mention which finger, did I?

I might tend to disagree on the ban.  The lying, sure.  That's really, really ---smurfy---.  Would I purchase anything from RAM knowing this information now?  No.  I'm not that type of person.  There are, however, people online who do seem to be benefiting from Jim somewhat, whether that be through credits or getting their orders - whatever.  Banning Jim could remove the only line of communication people who have been cheated from getting any remuneration.  I would definitely go with banning offers of new business until past issues have been settled, that's for certain.

I really wanted a white knight on this one.  Sad to see it's come around to this, once again.

Dude, don't even give him credit for that. It's part of any con-man's MO to ingratiate himself with the marks. Dave Adams, or whatever his real name is did the same by offering free parts and sales. (Parts he likely didn't even pay for, now that it's been revealed some Chinese companies were ripped off). Just use this site's search for threads by "DavieA", keywords "sale" and "free".

Don't be naive.
NO MORE!!

People are getting trinkets while Adam/Dave gets thousands.  I'll take that deal all day long. Send me your PayPal login/password and tell me where to ship your "free" buttons. I'll even toss in a new trackball!

Banning Jim could remove the only line of communication people who have been cheated from getting any remuneration.

No, he still has his website, email, and phone. And he could post a nice page informing victims how to file for compensation.  But he has not, and will not, because the compensation flowing is nothing but a loss leader for future "sales".  Banning him simply cuts off one of his largest sources of referrals.


I would definitely go with banning offers of new business until past issues have been settled, that's for certain.

Because if he pays off *this* batch of victims, it's all cool? I think not...  RAM has *decades* of catching up, then they will have elevated to the level of "not in debt scumbag". And why would you deal with a scumbag???

Sorry Rick, we disagree. RAM needs to go away forever.

Damn, and I so didn't want to be swayed so easily.  You caught me on a good day, it seems!  Let me jump on your collective bandwagon.  (I'll be that calm, not-so-abrupt guy, but will still support your position.)

Cheers.

Don't be naive.



It's funny the way the tide can turn.  Just like politicians and opinion polls, I guess.  A President can be loved by the people at a certain point in time, but despised by those same people a few years down the track.

There was once a day when none less than Saint himself, defended Dave's integrity (perhaps that's wording it too strongly ... although he certainly preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt), and deemed him to be a personal friend.  You probably can't retrieve these posts from the search history, as they were relegated to Post Hell.

In those days, all the pre-order folks, Havok especially, valiantly defended Dave's honour.  Mind you, Havok's personal faith in Dave was richly rewarded, as he received his Star Wars yoke, user manual and all.

Roll forward to the present ... I understand that Saint's now of a different mindset, since more facts have came to light.  The fact he's stickied this post, is testament to that.  And full credit to him for that.

I don't know quite what's brought about the community's change of mindset, as I'm not intimately familiar with the last couple of years of history that's occurred in this matter.

I guess my point is, Rick isn't the first person to want to believe that something good can come out of RAM Controls.  He shouldn't be written off as naive.  Good on him for having some faith in the human spirit, and hoping that everything can conclude in a happy ending.  Let's hope all the folks who are owed money by RAM Controls, end up being reimbursed their dues.


P.S.  Saint ... I hope you don't take my comments as being disrespectful.  Please delete this post if you deem it inappropriate.  This is your site, so I respect your rules.  You provide the best service to the community by running BYOAC free of charge.  I really appreciate that.

Thanks, man.

I don't take any offense to the comments made in this thread - I recognize there are a LOT of hurt feelings and a lot of anger here, and I also recognize that the situation has made all of this well deserved.  I've got a pretty thick skin, so I'm good.  I'm hopeful that everybody gets what's coming to them.

Saint, that's a measure of your class.

I reckon the magic of BYOAC, apart from the treasure trove of arcade hardware goodness, is it's a place where you're genuinely free to state your opinion, whatever it is (provided it's conveyed with reason and good manners), without having to be concerned about fear or favour.    :cheers:

Well, to Frizz's credit, if we look back to that time a few years ago, he was virtually the lone voice sounding the warning about RAM Controls.  But at that time, most just dismissed him as "Frizz being Frizz".

Turns out he was right.

They're back and dont fall for it. Nothing has changed people are still owed and legal battles continue

rikitiki, has anyone ordered a copy of the original complaint in the fraud case to see what the lawsuit is about?

(search for adam judd, report is $8.50)

I've had no dealings with them, but it's been an interesting situation to follow.

I havent and not sure if anyone else has
current legal action on "Ram Controls" seems to have hit a dead end and not sure where that cuurently lies.
but its getting tempting to start paying for some of those reports on both criminal and other pending court cases.

as there is another one pending

The short version is that beginning in 2009, Adam talked someone into making him various loans totalling $66,000 for sure fire "business opportunities" involving Ram Controls and Empire Engineering.
He only ever made a couple payments.  Odd thing is that there were 3 loans from the same person and Adam used a different alias for each one...Charles Sparta, Adam Starr & then after he failed to pay those loans, another promissory note was drawn up and signed by Adam Judd.

It doesn't go into who Jose Avalos is, but $4,000 of the loans was wired to his bank account.
It doesn't look like the plaintiff had any contact with Jim, but named him because he is doing business under both the company names.
