Falling off your perch is one thing, unfortunately this situation has many parallels with another one and that was wilful and deliberate, luckily the worst affected in that situation were businesses and not the riding public. It did still cost one person their job and left at least another small business struggling as a result.

I think this hits the nail on the head. Usually when a shop goes under it owes money to wholesalers and to staff (unpaid super and leave etc), but in this case it seems all the people owed money are individuals who have paid for items or paid deposits on items. Maybe a couple of deposits here and there... but not much full payments like this guy.
My question remains was he actually placing orders for the items that he was taking money for with the brands themselves. So far I have no answer for this... but I am doing some searching.

Its called a charge-back and most banks should offer the ability to reverse a charge on your credit card. Its not insurance.
Its not a facility to be treated lightly - I assume severe penalties and possibly fraud or stealing charges could be laid if you use it without real reason.
Agree with everything you say, it's just this:
...if proven true, would give reason to question "Stu's" integrity.

Some do, and some don’t.

There are some very good features on selected cards. Can’t hurt to ask if you’ve been stung.
I always try to save up first and buy with one and then pay it off with the $$$ put aside so you’re not dealing with balance blow-outs.

And the rest of the money... if any will be used up on expensive creditor/solicitor/liquidators.
Several years ago I travelled to Kangaroo Island, while on the island, the ferry I travelled over with went bust... they were trying to contact me while I was on the Island but there was no friggin phone signal. Arrived at the ferry to go home... no ferry.
Cutting a long story short.... I got back $100 from Travel Auctions but paid an addition $70 for the kids, so $35 each way, I was owed $35 (cost me $300 to get back by Sealink).
I received letters every year for about 5-6 years from a snobby Solicitors office in Sydney, telling me how things were proceeding with my lost cash.
They looked like the medieval type, big thick cream envelopes, gold embossed seal on the flap, gold letter heading and all official hoighty-toighty jargon... well it was worth the $35 just to get these "elder scrolls"... sadly for the scum, like me at the bottom of the pile, any cash left will be sucked up by the parasites.

I've just spoken with my bank (ING - I transferred 1k back in May for a following frame deposit), they are going to put in a request for the funds to be recalled.
Mine was just a transfer and wasn't done by credit card, so I would suggest even if you've just done it via transfer still contact your bank and try. I'm not going to hold my breath but it's something at least for now. Will post again once I find out the result.

Dear Evil Bikes Australia and New Zealand customers,
Evil Bikes has just been informed that our Australia/New Zealand Distributer, Defcon Cycles, has placed themselves into Voluntary Liquidation. This news is a big surprise to Evil Bikes. We had no warning from Defcon that their business was in danger, or that Defcon was struggling. We apologize to all customers for any inconvenience you may have experienced.
A liquidator has been appointed to this case – Travis Pullen of TJP Advisory. Email – travis@tjpadvisory.com.au
Before contacting Evil USA, please first contact the liquidator if you have:
1. Made a deposit for Evil product to Defcon, and have not received confirmed delivery. Deposit Record will be required.
2. Made a full payment for Evil product to Defcon and have not received delivery. Proof of payment will be required.
If the liquidator is not able to bring your case to a full and satisfactory resolution, please contact Evil Bikes USA – Mike Howse - mike@evil-bikes.com. Please understand, Evil cannot help you until you have completed your process with the liquidator. Evil will handle customers not satisfied by the liquidator on a case by case basis.
Moving forward, Evil will service the Australia and New Zealand market directly, as opposed to using the service of a distributer. Future sales and dealer inquiries should be directed to Evil USA. You can reach Evil USA directly via email – Mike@evil-bikes.com and Dylan@evil-bikes.com. We also communicate with customers via instant message on Facebook and Instagram. Or, you can simply call us at 877-696-3845. We will have staff on hand as much as possible to handle the Australia and New Zealand time zone from the USA.
Many Thanks,
Evil Bikes USA
