Before the pandemic, I’d get orders roughly a month after release. I’d only order one pair at a time, so I can’t speak on bulk orders.
You should escalate asap if you haven’t already.
That was my #1 question for a long time. It’s amazing to me that no one that worked for him has come forward anonymously to shed any light on the inner workings, daily routines in the warehouse and where his shoes were coming from. I know he said at one time that he didn’t hire sneakerheads to work for him. While some reasons may be obvious I am now thinking that an employee who loves shoes would most likely wonder where these pairs were coming from. I can’t believe for all these years his source was never exposed or leaked considering nothing in this day and age stays a secret for very long let alone 8-10 years.
That’s exactly what I had replied to someone on Twitter that flat out claimed he was selling reps. With the amount of time he was in business and the sheer number of orders he had shipped over years and years, that would mean that bulk buyers, those who bought personal pairs and resellers alike didn’t know the difference. I just don’t see that as a possibility.
That’s what I was wondering. I’m sure that whatever they have to pay out is nothing to a company like PayPal but I wouldn’t be surprised if they revised their terms on refunds or lessen that 180 window after all this.I wonder how much money PayPal is going to lose because of Zadeh once all the claims are paid out.
And then what?...Does PayPal go after Zadeh for the large chunk they ended up paying out? How's that all work out down the line? PayPal has to eat it probably?
PayPal is a company that has a net revenue in neighborhood of single digit billions. PayPal likely has some sort of insurance that covers these transactions.I wonder how much money PayPal is going to lose because of Zadeh once all the claims are paid out.

Insurance is left holding the bag and may seek legal action too. Generally, that's just how the insurance industry works; collects premium in hopes that the clients don't file any claims.
Yeah its posted in this thread, or it was. He’s at a ball game eating a corn dog.Is there a pic of this guy?
We both live in Eugene, Oregon.
If I see him at Whole Foods, I’s be happy to deliver any message you may have.
I just started it and he didn’t respond.
There will probably be a Netflix documentary in a couple years that spells it all out.
Pretty sure it was a scheme all along and his spending on luxury cars and $800 hoodies combined with the insane resale mark up on several shoes that came out this year (Travs, hyper Royal 1, Oreo, cg11) led him to not be able to cover the cost of sending out enough stock to not raise red flags. Scale back wasn’t an option, for the scheme to work more people have to continually join and the members have to continually dump money invested and “profits” back into it.
