I live in MD. This guy has fucked over so many collectors. I think it is down right silly you people would want to sensor this man's address/info. Post that shit everywhere. Help your fellow collectors avoid being burned by this parasite. Thieves don't deserve privacy.
Unfortunately, it reeked of his telltale modus operandi from the get go. Gut check confirmed. I hope a resolution can be found for the seller as we all know there's a trail of tears that's spanned years from all the people that have been hurt.
Let's all send him surprise care packages And he's stolen from 2 different parties in this matter, since the other customer sent him the third toy under the agreement that the second would be sent back to him/her. Hopefully someone will be filing a police report. Probably constitutes mail fraud.
Yikes! I really thought the situation wouldn't be as sinister as this.. But it's looking like you guys did some investigating while I was sleeping. So if that's the case and this guy has a history of this (wasn't really aware of him besides some stuff on instagram ages ago) then yeah fuck this guy. Just didn't want to immediately crucify someone incase they had some crazy circumstances and ended up sending the toy back because they were in hospital etc. who knows..
Another reason why there should be a blacklist of individuals who can't fulfill a buy/sales transaction. In the past two years, I've had difficult transactions with sellers that eventually turned out okay, but I'd never deal with them again unless I had ironclad protection and expectations. If there were such a list, it would help me and others I believe. Just really tired of thieves and flakes.
Jeez, all the shit he's pulled, all the threats of consequences, legal action etc. and he's still at it? Amazing.
Instead of amazing, I'd say it's downright deplorable. Leopards don't change their spots. I do like the idea of a list comprised of reputable buyers and sellers that are honorable and know how to do the right thing when transactions are involved.
^^ If anything, start a blacklist. Hopefully less work. By "amazing" I mean that it's amazing to me that someone could fuck over probably hundred people and get away with it without any consequences ever coming to my attention.
Welcome to the internet! Also: a terrible reminder that this community really does run on a system of trust that many haven't (and, yes, many have) earned.
Yeah, he scammed myself and so many others pretty bad in just a months time. I lost my head over that asshat. Was hoping he had moved on to another racket outside the toy scene, but sounds like he's moved on to another name to ruin instead. The name "Sam DeWitt" is officially mud on so many artists' and venues' radars now. I suppose it was just a matter of time. Damn Sam... Last I heard of him before this was about a year or two back, that he had become a toy "dealer" of American soft vinyl makers to other countries.
I heard he was scamming the glass community also, & probably every other hobby he has attached his parasitic self to

@smurph Haha! Kozik is the man! I may not be crazy about his toys, but he's probably the foremost poster artist of his generation. I was expecting a slightly juicier story, but just the fact that that happened is a trip. Real shame the guy wasn't there when he showed up, though. Also, I've already lost such faith in humanity that I'm not sure reading anymore of that thread would be a good idea, Thanks for digging that up for me. Btw, if you click the number in the lower right hand corner of a post, you'll get a link that directs straight to that comment in the thread like so: http://skullbrain.org/bb/index.php?...-or-elizabeth-record.43632/page-4#post-724253
Wait wait wait... his address is known. He's scammed multiple people... and a Molotov hasn't been delivered through his window?
sadly pennsylvania's bloomturd sponsored attorney general ruined reciprocity with all our neighboring states... this one's on you, MD skull krew
He's also scammed lotteries too. Ever wonder why you couldn't get a Nag or another grail sofubi you were after, but one person "managed" to get a bunch of them? Well, Sam The Scam (yes, that's one of the names he's known by) would have his cousins and friends be shills in the line and walk away with the lions share. He's also paid people to get in line for him. Doesn't it just turn your stomach the lengths that an individual will go to scam the system?
