Why was Mark fired, can someone tell me please ?
djrconsoles kr1 said:Ok, this is what I know.
I have my own AES website and I was trying ti buy in some serious stock about a year ago.
Mark had bought some AES titles from me on ebay, and all went well, we got on, he offered to make me conversions as well (but im not into them, so I said no) and when I told him I was opening my own online store, he called me.
THe first thing that jumped to mind was , how did you get my number? I never gave it to him, and I havnt put on ebay, and Im not in the phone book, but anyway, he told me he had around 80 carts that he really needed to get rid of quickly(which concernded me, why do you have to get rid of 80 in one go?). The titles ranged from the average to some nice ones, like US versions of sam sho 4, real bout special, mark of the wolves, he also had a big tournment golf(are these carts ringing a bell yet?). He wanted £5,000 for the lot, which I didnt have, so I didnt buy them. I know this is the same mark as he opnely told me about working in CEX(computer exchange) and how he took in the largest neo geo trade in the company had ever had etc etc.
Basically I didnt buy the carts, he sounded a decent guy on the phone and he paid for the carts he bought from me, but to my surprise, the ebay 80 cart lot appeared just a few months ago which got loads of people talking, which I didnt think much of at first, but when I really looked at the games on offer, im 99% sure, thats what I was offered a year before, and that auction was cancelled and most believed it to be a scam.

C'mon man! This wouldnt even be a drop in the ocean in India.In the indian subcontinent thiefs and conmen are usually rewarded with government posts!.
By the way Mr Ranatunga was a kid in london (marvan) who got scammed out of an aes cart by Mark . So his grievance was genuine. He's tamil by parentage and by adopting Mr ranatunga as his namesake he was just taking the mickey out of some older tamils who all seem to work in petrol stations. I met him when Mark borrowed a fatal fury 3 cart off me and told me Marvan owed him a Fatal Fury 3 for a conversion and i could get it off him instead in order to be reimbursed. Needless to say by the time the penny dropped both marvan and i had been duped.
I havent seen this thread for ages but Marks phone numbers are certainly not a problem. All you needed to do was ask!
Me and mark were close.He told me about most his scams altho he always justified them one way or the other in his own sick mind.Unfortunetly by that stage i was in too deep as Mark had 700 pounds worth of my merchandise.But I always told people to be careful in dealing with him.
He admitted scamming mario out of £200 on a huge deal
He admitted taking in £3000 worth of stuff from Neo Russ and marking expensive carts like Voltage fighter down on the CEX system so he could buy them for himself super cheap conning no one except the shop that payed his wages.
He admitted sending Yash25 in the store to sell bogus empty shell mvs carts. They did this scam together in London and birmingham. Yash 25 was also banned from CEX.
Mark admitted that once he was given his notice to leave he deliberatly took in expensive carts and marked them down as damaged on the shop system and pocketed them himself.
In short his reign at CEX was one of taking backhanders under the counter, borrowing and ripping off his colleagues, in short acting like he owned the place while taking it to the cleaners.
Mark lived at his girlfriends flat in camden. A 5 minute walk from the prince of wales pub. His girlfriend was a whore who didnt know about his scams.
I'll post the phone number to their love nest later.
Mark also operated out of his families expensive home in a village just off st albans. Ill try and dig up a number there as well
Mark claims to be half mexican. He claimed to have a brother who was gay.
When the CEX stint went belly up he said he was working as the manager at Mcdonalds in St albans.
I know being sacked from CEX flipped mark over the edge. He never thought it was coming and for all his pilfering and theft he couldnt understand it.
I was with Mark one day when he walked past CEX and i saw the guy almost in tears as he related how he "loved that job" etc etc. Deep down you get the impression this is one sick little puppy . A 27-28 year old guy whose never really grown up and learnt the difference between right and wrong. He needs counselling not physical violence!hahahahahahahah
