Dude had 15 CC's?

i never ordered from ZK and only heard about the scam thru the AJ1 thread but the details released in this article are hella wild.. dude sold 600,000 cool greys despite having “only” 6,000 pairs on hand and then there’s this secondary scumbag reseller who got got:
What I should have typed was Nike actually sued stockx for passing fakes as legitThere have been numerous StockX customers who have claimed StockX has passed fakes.
There have been ZERO Zadeh customers including myself that has complained that a sneaker they purchased and sold through StockX, Goat, eBay, etc failed authentication.
Someone said it best earlier in this thread, its always the people who havent purchased from him that are throwing these silly fake claims LOL
The mental gymnastics being performed in here are wild!What I should have typed was Nike actually sued stockx for passing fakes as legit
People on this site said it was a scam and they were proven to be right
So there's a good chance the people that think fakes got through the ZK experience will be proven right as well
I dont doubt if Zadeh sourced inventory from StockX that some fake pairs trickled through due to human error, however to say he knowlingly sourced his pairs from fake factories is laughable.What I should have typed was Nike actually sued stockx for passing fakes as legit

Would you laugh if I told you he took orders for 600k cool greys and only had 6k?I dont doubt if Zadeh sourced inventory from StockX that some fake pairs trickled through due to human error, however to say he knowlingly sourced his pairs from fake factories is laughable.
That’s what I’m saying!! Even with fakes, there is no possible way he could’ve gotten 600k!That’s a lot of fakes to have to get a hold of lol.
I've probably got at least 10 currently. I use 2-3 regularly. The others are on reserve for emergencies.
This guy's story makes me wonder if the rumor that Zadeh honored individual orders before bulk buys is true. It would also explain why so many niketalkers who ordered personal pairs of cool grey's had their orders fulfilled.
I've never even done a double up order via Zadeh. I typically ordered my second and 3rd pairs from other resell sites like SX or eBay. Zadeh pairs were my "secured" pair.
Just saying… if he were actually dealing with fakes intentionally, why not set preorders to a reasonable number, and fulfill all/most of the orders so he could keep his alleged legitimacy intact, and the money flowing… with how this all ended up, the fake thing doesn’t make sense to me, unless it wasn’t intentional.That’s a lot of fakes to have to get a hold of lol.
600k orders is crazy, but that's a seperate issue. There have been no cases of him selling fakes. If he sourced from a fake factory you would've already heard it by now from his buyers.Would you laugh if I told you he took orders for 600k cool greys and only had 6k?
Dude came up 594k short and people blaming it on the pandemic, crypto, bunk weed and climate change
I think towards the end (whenever that was for him) he got desperate, and made desperate decisions thinking/hoping it would all play out for him one way or another…. As we all saw, it didn’t.Even if he was dealing in fakes, there’s no way he’d be able to come up with those kind of numbers. That’s more than most Nike general release number ps lol. Why would he leave preorders open for that kind of number? You saw money rolling in. Why would he cap preorder numbers? An honest person would, but that’s not who everyone was dealing with.
Taking orders for 600,000 pairs of Cool Greys and only fulfilling 1% was a good way to keep a scheme like this alive for years? He folded and was indicted in less than a year. Lol
I didn't mention anything about sourcing from fake factories600k orders is crazy, but that's a seperate issue. There have been no cases of him selling fakes. If he sourced from a fake factory you would've already heard it by now from his buyers.
But then there's proof from customers and Nike that SX has sent customers fakes and there's proof ZK was using SX to fulfill orders
Dude purchased well over 100k pairs from SX
Maybe? But who’s to say this is the only deal of this scale that he’s ever attempted? He didn’t just come up with this business model over night or in the last year, he’s been running this way for years before the final stretch that left folks high and dry and dissolved the llc. Again all I’m saying is as long as he had more money coming in than he had going out while making some people happy some of the time other people other times he’s smooth sailing, and he did that for almost a decade.Except the 600,000 preorder is probably what ultimately did him in. Not everyone from what was reported made money back (or even received money back) on non-delivered product. What about the many (which from what I’ve read was almost the majority) were dealt worthless gift cards as a form as compensation.
I think its still hard for some people to believeThe mental gymnastics being performed in here are wild!
Not gonna even front. People who took gift cards in lieu of products got shafted. Hopefully chargebacks had them covered.Except the 600,000 preorder is probably what ultimately did him in.
