Well......finally got a response......seems he's pocketed the money even after being paid in full for my Shigefusa and he had not yet paid the wholesaler, just pocketed the money, now he's too tight on money to actually pay the wholesaler even though the knives are ready. Likely we're all screwed because the dude is broke.

No, he just outright scammed all of the foreigners.

There’s no laws for reconciliation in Japan, I’ve checked with my Japanese sources already. He can keep doing it forever.

He’s still actively scamming people as well.

that's insane

His webhost finally responded - the website is finally down. Shopify were much quicker to respond, that was down a while ago.

He’s on eBay by another name as well

What name?

The username got banned on ebay too for too many negative feedbacks. It's kanamonoya71

I hope you paid thru PayPal and hopefully it’s not a lost case!

Paypal has a 6mth max. dispute period. Tomohito Iida knew this, and delayed until this time period was up.

Ended up getting my bank to dispute it directly with his bank - bypassing paypal. Took months, but I got my money back today. Definitely worth getting in contact with your bank to see what they can do.

I'm guessing here, but now that his bank has a few approved disputes, it may make future disputes easier...

How long ago did you pay him? Not sure my bank would even consider a dispute when I paid him three years ago.

About a year. My bank has a 6mth policy as well. But they still did it. I'm in Australia and maybe I got lucky, but just letting people know to maybe give it a shot.

Well at least he said 'sorry' for stealing $1,100 from me

received this as well. Not up to date with my legalese but it sounds like there will be no remuneration.

Anyone owed money should probably register that interest with the Trustee handling the bankruptcy. Sounds like the only asset is his house. Terrible situation for all concerned.
