If you "purchased" anything more than a personal amount of product from him,I would start cleaning house ASAP.   I believe they may have been LEO from the start. 

- His 56 feedback notes were all written in the same style.   Which means -

- He paid commission on high-dollar self-orders for 3 months, knowing that he would be caught before he could get anything more than a few AFs

-The products were all high-dollar, high-weight, flashy-branded, etc.   They were described the way someone who had only seen the biz in the movies would describe them.   

-The photos looked like seizure hauls.   

-Claimed to be in US with KGs of different varieties of highly-prized imports from multiple SA countries. 

-Highlighted in his profile that "YES HE COULD SHIP TO AUSTRALIA in 10 DAYS!  Our method is working!"


My guess is Australian/US Operation to honeypot mid-level dealers (importers in AUS case).
