What I would say to these customers is hope for the best. Bringing emotions into the situation will only make it worse if there is a chance of a refund or finishing work later. There are many instances in which this situation can still end positive.
In the words of the illustrious Bractos, I will break this down Barney-Style.
For example, Let's say customers each provide payment, Sgreen buys a car he needs for work with it - let's say UBER. his computer breaks down. Let's say Sgreen is a good person with every intention of paying everyone back, but needs time as he already spent the money on the car. Perhaps he feels terrible about it.
We can ask, does this fit his frame?
1. He doesn't have a scamming reputation, seemed honest to some customers as stated above.
2. He didn't steal krono from the accounts, only stopped the PL.
3. Is possibly embarrassed, and wants no contact until he has the refund prepared.
That is just one example. This is why you don't start shooting around accusations.
Though it is more rare than not, belated refunds do occur.
Everyone is absolutely justified being upset at the situation, as it stands the money is in another persons hands. That does not change the fact that there exist scenario's in which this can be explained, and result in refunds.
Alternatively, there are also ways to act out emotionally to destroy those chances. I am not saying it's not ok to be pissed off. I am saying coming in here infuriating the thread only lowers the odds of a possible payback.
I have seen so many scams I could make threads upon threads. I once was scammed old-school, only to be refunded three weeks later with a "Sorry, I needed it at the time" - Suppose I flamed that guy? I'm not getting paid.
Even if it is less likely, there are many examples of how this particular situation and with our current knowledge, could result in a refund.
Everyone has my sympathy,
Those are my "facts"
