Hey PY'ers,

Does anyone remember the whole Build-A-Bandit debacle?

This was that guy Robert Allen McElreath back in the late 2000's was taking money to make Bandit SE copies in Ashville, North Carolina and then not delivering on any of the cars or contracts he had signed. He had a lot of victims and then landed a whole bunch of charges, and was subsequently arrested.

The reason why I bring this up, is apparently a few of the cars he had butchered were a number of Macho T/A's. What actually came of the cars? Does anyone know anyone who was involved or was a victim of his? Some of those Machos could still be alive today as an SE copy somewhere without the owners knowing. Even if those Machos were destroyed, I'd like to at least cross those off the list of missing Machos for the Macho Registry.

I'd like to get in contact with anyone who was a victim or knew any further details about the whole scam, so if anyone has more information, i'd love to hear some stories!

Here's some links to the story if you were curious or didn't even know this happened!
