I have changed my AIM name to try to protect my privacy - if this is a problem I can put in my real one. Please note that the time log jumps towards the end b/c I copy pasted what he sent to me in an earlier message.
As a summary:
traded them 35k...then they disappeared frown
Traded them gold @ 3:19 EST
Told he was waiting for his bosses verification @ 3:28 EST - was told it would be another 30 minutes.
At 4:07 EST receive a message that he is restarting his system.
No payment - zip nada
He eventually came back online - hilarity to come:
