The damn thing is, I'm still not convinced it was intentionally a scam.
Has anyone been able to prove that screen shot isn't real? Seems like
a very strange, elaborate scheme for what probably wasn't THAT much
money. And why would he bother accepting carts as part of the payment?
Regardless, has anyone found any more info on this guy? I'm trying a
couple more ideas for leads...

Hopefully someday Video Life will be available as a ROM, but until then
I don't mind this idea. But I'd say maybe go with EnCore, since The Core
is still vapor, and Video Life, though not extant, is at least confirmed.
