All I can say is I’m glad I’ve never dealt with those folks then.

I’m confused here…. Did he get caught selling fakes, or ran a Ponzi scheme, and run off with millions?
Not sticking up for dude AT ALL… at this point, I can’t deny or confirm he sells/sold fakes because I don’t know.. but it’s funny to me, there’s not much (if any) factual information he’s sold fakes…. AGAIN, not sticking up for him, or denying or agreeing he’s sold fakes/reps/grey market/anything. Haven’t any of you all seen the crap quality that comes STRAIGHT from authorized retailers?
Also seems a lot of you guys know the whole story (which seems to be many angles/variations) of what and why it went down, and are acting your assumptions as fact… some of y’all could be 100%, correct, could not… unless you were in the know, or know someone involved, why act like you know?
To be clear, I feel it was a scumbag move, and I’m out a small amount of money myself that was outside of the 180 day PayPal window. Lesson learned, the hard way…
And a little assistance from something I just saw… I just read that PayPal might be allowing more than 180 days for this due to the scale of things, so call PayPal and see what/if they can do something for you.

Just got an email from the zadehkicks email address that included this:
“The Receiver is cooperating with the federal government in a criminal investigation.
If you believe you were a victim, you can contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov.”

Nike sets up accounts and buys shoes from SX and GT
Nike receives shoes and NIKE LEGIT CHECKS THEM by tearing the shoe apart stitch by stitch
Nike determines shoes are fake and tells SX/GT to turn over the name of the seller
Nike applies heat and birds start singing
Website shuts down and business dissolved in the middle of the night

Because stockx would be the only one that ended up selling fakes at the end of all this…some of your posts from earlier led me to believe you’re somewhat intelligent… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zadeh not only looks like a loser but he most definitely looks like a scam artist.
Dude deserves prison time big time. Good riddance.

So if stockx is selling fakes and he buys the fakes and then sells the fakes to his customers is he.... Nvm you got it homie.

He bought over 100K items off StockX…Nike already proved that StockX is letting fakes get through…The only real question is what he did with that stuff he bought…If he used it to fill orders then he absolutely moved fakes to people who were buying since there’s no feasible way to say that ALL that product was 100% real…It’s just not possible…Especially since, again, Nike already proved StockX is letting fakes through…
How prolific is the fake issue with StockX? Nike purchased four pairs of shoes over a two month period and ALL we’re fake…Make of that what you will…Small sample size for sure but it’s clearly happening…Now imagine what got through on a portfolio of over a hundred thousand purchases…
Here’s the Bloomberg article on the Nike vs. StockX fake stuff…
Nike Escalates Feud with StockX, Says Site is Selling Fake Shoes
Nike Inc. escalated its legal battle with sneaker marketplace StockX, saying it purchased four pairs of counterfeit shoes on the platform despite the company’s promises that it is only marketing authentic footwear.

So if I (or anyone) bought shoes from zadeh, and they’re fake…. But sold those to a friend, sold on eBay, sold on goat, sold/traded on consignment; StockX is the only one that sold fakes?! Ok. Got it.

Zadeh scammed people.
Some people got authentic shoes, some got reps.
Pretty simple story.
Just want to see the end game now.

Serious question, how is he buying from stockx if the pricing he was selling for was lower than the stockx price? We’re they giving him a back door price

…again, lots of theories in here, some are quite interesting, AND believable… would be crazy(ier) if some of these ended up being right. I’ll admit some of this is entertaining. Only time will tell.

The heat must have come down last month and he had 30 days to shut down
Which would explain releasing these pics claiming they get shoes from Marcus

Check check uses the bare minimum.
And your realize that quality control and accuracy are two different things right? a Fake can have better QC than a Nike shoe and still not be accurate cause the sole is the wrong color.
I don’t understand why folks who don’t want fakes and don’t want to buy fakes hype them up to be so good

All you “told you so’ers” are a little obsessive, don’t you think? You sleep? Have a job? Friends/family?

If I’m not mistaken, none of the pics showed faces of anyone? I could be wrong, I didn’t follow that very close.
