Ron of Ron's Computer Videos
"I was exploited by a (unbeknownst to me) legendary social engineering grifter who uses his skills to prey on other retro computing geeks. His scams go back decades, include felony convictions, and putting the burn on nearly every corner of the retro computing and arcade communities." ~Ron

After Ron's video was released last Wednesday (https://youtu.be/6xbtmgalaEQ) about the shady activities of Sean / SeanRox / Geek with Social Skills, many people came forward with kind works of support or stories of their own about this interactions with this serial grifter. But there were also people that even after the bombshell video released on Friday (https://youtube.com/live/sANdqXvi8A0) - showing evidence directly connecting Sean with reselling equipment that belonged to other people in the community without their permission - still REFUSED to believe what was being reported. Sean was their friend, and he has been vouched for by highly respected people in the retro computing hobby.
Some person they'd never heard of would ever be able to convince them. They KNEW Sean, and he was their friend.
Fine.
If you won't believe me, and you won't believe the dozens of other victims many whom have presented hard evidence of the claims... MAYBE YOU'LL BELIEVE THIS GUY?
