I know the person making the claim, and I know of the person on whom the claim is being made. I know the basis of the story (granted from one party only), but have no reason to question this persons honesty.
I think there are genuine concerns on this suppliers integrity based on this story, other "issues".
When his ban is up, Ill suggest to slow 427 that he run an emotionless and factual post past the moderators so that we all can benefit from his experience.
Cheers.
