Well, personally I was never ripped off by Ian, but i have been reading of many that have and also have seen links, infos etc and heard from certain band members that "he wanted to release their lps, pro cds) that he is a absoulte fraud.

I can NOT find any proof or reviews of his so called 80 something page zine "Anti-Human Terror" zine. Did he accept trade offers for add space and fuck off? Id say so.

His last claim was that he had cancer and needed time off?

if you search the net you will find all sorts of info that he is a scam artist.

Feel free to post these links here as my time is limited online these days.

Heres one source:

and heres another one, on his very own message board that he doesn't even post on or reply too anymore:

Also, he used to claim that his "wife" mailed out all of his packages for him when he was behind etc.

Why couldn't his "wife" do so now, or at least post updates on his myspace/message board giving a explaination as to why he feels its OK to accept peoples money/trades and not send his end of the deal?

I had to HARASS him once to recieve my end of a trade, and had to get others involved to bother him as well!

Had no problems with him myself personally.

If you had cancer, I'm sure you'd need time off as well. The treatments can be more intensive than the disease itself.
