Firstly, I would like to apologize for any stress I have caused any of my customers and members of this forum. I have only read a few pages and it hurt me to see it, I have been back in China for 2 weeks and avoided reading this thread because of the guilt I felt at my ability to do nothing about the situation. I asked my girlfriend to read this thread for me last night and let me know what was being said..
I would also personally like to apologize to these few people that have put their trust in me and really vouched for me (
@Kim, Amtont and a bunch of others I forgot to mention), I apologize for letting you guys have doubts and even possibly putting your own reputations in the gutter because of the situation that happened.
I hope with this explanation down below and my willingness to come back to the forum, it shows that I am not a scammer nor do I have it in my heart to be a scammer. I haven't slept a day since the middle of December and I have an immense feeling of guilt and constant unease. Please understand that this might(will) be messy and I will try to answer any questions to the best of my ability.
The past month and a half has been hell, health wise - but you guys already knew that. I thought my bad luck was over after I tore my ACL, I certainly thought wrong.
After I had torn my ACL, I went to the US 3-4 days after (please understand I will not be specific on certain dates and monetary values due to LE). Everything was fine for the first week I arrived back home, orders were being sent out as normal and everything seemed to be fine. We also just shipped 2 big packages enroute to our domestic guy to cover us until at least Feb-March (or so I thought). Shortly afterwards during my second week in the US, a customer messaged me on Discord and informed me that a package had been intercepted and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) got involved. I immediately notified my shipper of the situation and without me knowing, he burnt our domestic stock. Everything I had was gone. However I could not blame him, as I was scared as well. I broke the first rule of this game, I used someone I knew personally as a domestic shipper. In part, I was relieved he burned our stock so if anything was to happen - none of us would go down. I cannot disclose anything else, but you can guess that there was something that did happen in the next week and a half that is still ongoing. So there I was, sitting in the US waiting for ACL surgery; I knew I couldn't get it anymore because of the risk/possibility of getting arrested. Two or three days after this happened (when my customer first notified me of the package seizure), I immediately notified any customers that wanted to still order, that we were not taking orders - and I asked my partner to reroute those two packages to a different shipper - my thoughts were that I would be able to use those two packages to pay off any pending pre orders (all of the orders were in fact pre orders waiting on these packages). My partner said the packages could not be rerouted and my shipper would have to call FEDEX himself to arrange an address change; that was out of the question. What was weird was, we had shipped these packages out close to the middle of December - usually our turnaround for INTL packages is 10-13 days; however tracking will usually update in 3-5 days after the package is shipped. Tracking did not update, and it was the 6th day - I still had hope and waited until the 9th day. That's when I asked my partner, as she takes care of shipping things and only she has access to the factories and our freight forwarder. I myself was not given any ability to talk to our shipper. My partner told me to wait until the following Monday. I waited and the packs still did not update, so I started panicking.
Suddenly during this time, I also received an email on my Protonmail that spelled out my domestic shippers address in a very disturbing way, also his last name.
At this point I feared for my safety and I had doubts about my Chinese partner, as this was the biggest restock we had and my partner didn't seem worried, I also asked her for screen shots of her conversation and there were none provided. At this point I stopped answering emails (and refused any incoming orders) and deleted my Protonmail and anything related to this operation from my phone, and computer.
A day before this (or around this time frame) I sold my Bitcoin. Everything seemed fine, until I checked my bank account and it was overdrafted by -$888,888. It turned out, one of my partner's past customer had just claimed fraud for an order a long while back when I helped her accept money through CashApp/Venmo - it sounds like a crock full of shit even to me - but I can send proof to a few members (I will not post the bank statement in public due to safety reasons). At that point, all of our stock was gone, the profit/refund money was gone, and all I had was hope on these two packages. I got back to China at the end of December and the packages did not update. My partner told me they were seized, however tracking still shows otherwise - making me believe that these numbers were just processing numbers - like a USPS shipping label.
I held off on reading this thread, and I apologize for that. I honestly felt terrible because I had no resources to come back, I had to stay hidden while I was in the US but when I was back in China there was certainly no excuse to not reply to this thread except for the fact that I felt hopeless. I couldn't do anything and face the comments I already knew would come. To put it bluntly, I was like a frightened little fucking kid and I was depressed. It felt like every thing I worked for was gone in just a span of a few days. It took months to build trust and rep, and build relationships that I hoped would last for a long time on this board. I was sure that those two packages would arrive, it was stupid of me to allow my partner to handle everything on the "Chinese side". My understanding of written Mandarin is limited and I can only speak and listen to it, so I let it slide. I never thought it would turn out like this.
I just wanted to reiterate again, I would never scam. I don't have it in me, the amount of money sent to me - I haven't seen a penny of it. I also actively told members and friends that I could not accept orders past the 5 pre orders already. I wish this turnt out differently; it took me a while to see it but the game we are playing is dangerous. Freedom is at stake and more. Money was the least of my concern when my stock was burnt, I was just happy that my guy was safe at that time and I was as well. I just wanted to say one last thing, and I feel like some people may not take kindly to it but I feel like I have to get it off my chest. The market we are in is not normal, sometimes customers forget and so do I. Sometimes we have to gauge ourselves and realize that this is in fact illegal and losses will happen, not just on the customer side but also on the source's side as well. I took a lot of pride in my customer service, I would even brag to my girlfriend because I would read the good reviews and people saying "Dyna's customer service is amazing ". However at the end of the day, even though I tried my best - the game took its toll on me and fucked me unexpectedly. I could only charge it to the game, I just hope everyone takes this with a grain of salt.. it's dangerous doing what we do on both sides of the spectrum and we always have to consider a source may be a scammer, or a source may have extenuating circumstances, or a customer being LE, extortion and many other possibilities. Thank you.
I will send proof of what I said to some members, Im sorry I cannot post it publically due to the circumstances. I apologize again, it really did pain me to see some of the harsh words on here but I also understand it.
I really love my customers, this forum and consider most of you as friends.
As of now, I am currently talking with a factory to help me and front me some product, and send everyone their missing items.
Please understand this will take some time, and I am unsure if I will continue business. I came back on here to make things right, making money is not my first priority. I won't be accepting any orders.
Please message me on my new wickr: Extremepip
I will have to find a way to recover my Protonmail and old Wickr, as I deleted my password note pad.
Thank you.
