Ivan was a well-known Geekhack user who ran a lot of group buys, but got forcibly removed because he never shipped a bunch of items and promptly disappeared.

from nicks reddit post:

TLDR:

IvanIvanovich had 3 group buys open in 2015 on geekhack, he didn't place the order for two of them (Miami Nights GMK, and a Red Scarf keyboard buy), but he did receive all the black on black pbt, and black blanks (but didn't pay IMSTO). Now, three years later I guess he ran out of money and is selling the sets from the group buy. A couple weeks ago he sold 30 sets of blanks, now he is selling printed sets. It is 100% him, the name on his ebay account is the same, his old ebay user id matches a old email Ivan used, and he lives in the same place.

Post by: clasicks on Thu, 19 April 2018, 15:25:03: you know, someone posted the links for the blank sets to me a while back....

I cancelled my order because of the russian email account.... call me crazy but it seemed strange.

Good to know I managed to not let Ivan get more GHer's money

Post by: ekeppel on Thu, 19 April 2018, 15:26:14: If this is indeed Ivan, I have no idea how he has manged to maintain a 100% positive feedback rating. I'm also surprised that no one has played 'scam the scammer', considering how much power eBay has given to buyers these days.

Post by: ibmkeyboardsrule on Thu, 19 April 2018, 21:32:24: A little hard to report the item under the specific category of stolen items, as eBay in that case demands only law enforcement report such.
