Craig and I already came to the decision he did not care about the items. Bit’s website was infiltrated and a user “ Elden “ sold me items that I did not know were Craig’s. Elden@jsp even told me he lost his account. I bought the axe from Yakkus to use in pn and fun duels not for tournaments , etc. I showed the axe off to hengster - he didn’t catch me red handed. I currently do not have any stolen items and I am 100% okay with showing everyone before each duel.

So you knowing bought stolen property?
I have nothing else to say u just dug your own grave.
Just want to 2nd what Jakee said.
He bought the axe to use in casual duels and never attempted (or planned) to use it in tournament or ladder play. He never attempted to mislead anyone by claiming it was legit for resale or any other purposes. It seems clear to me he didn't intend any wrongdoing. Why else would he have said to Adam "Diablo dropped it"? He was obviously not trying to obscure the sketchy origins of the axe.
Once Tonice/Hengster raised the alarm, B0ba and I talked to Jakee and Jakee immediately volunteered to pursue a refund from Yakkus, which Yakkus graciously agreed to. Jakee no longer has the axe. He wasn't trying to do anything fucked up, and once it was pointed out that it's still BM to buy hot gear, even if for casual use, he made it right.
Tonice - I know you're trying to protect the integry of melee and all but this all feels very personal and biased against Jakee. You post makes it sound like Jakee is a "repeat offender" - but:
1) With Estim's gear it was a totally different situation and once he discovered they were stolen and sold fraudulently on the other site, Jakee offered to eat the cost and return the items to Estim.
2) Your post neglects to mention the measures Jakee took to make it right with Blood Cleaver - i.e. returning the axe
I get that it's easy to be skeptical and say Jakee only returned the item cause he got caught, but keep in mind that he made no real effort to hide what he was doing. Seems clear to me he didn't understand or intend any wrongdoing, and once it was called out to him, he got rid of the axe.
