6,000 pairs can go a long way when you make it a business practice to expect your customers to wait a year and a change for a release and offer 5 figure refunds in the form of gift cards that you can only use on future purchases on the same website. Most bulk buyers didn’t have a 100% success rate with drops, but he only had to make some people happy some of the time across the hundreds of different releases to get folks to keep putting their money in. That’s where the fraud comes in.
Zadeh isn’t/wasn’t the only seller that offers these kinds of services. He’s just the only one who took it to the level that he did. Most resellers know when they’re putting money in with bulk preorders there’s a good chance your whole order doesn’t get fulfilled. Most reputable folks that coordinate these kinds of buys limit what folks can order to a “reasonable” amount so nonfulfillment isn’t an issue.
