Sean Newton, "nester" is working for Turbochargers.com now... Kenny also moved to TX, so I'm sure he is involved as well down there. Scamming more people out of money.

here is a link to the scionlife forums where all of this played out: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187111

close to the end of the thread pg. 50 some one finds that he is registered under turbo chargers and uses the old companies email.
on page 54 there is an previous associate of kenny describing his "work ethics".

here is a link to a picture of the thief....he is the one in the center.

110% true to all nasty activities by Kenny "the scam" Strickler. The POS is sadly my cousin by marriage and screwed me too, $4700 worth on his last business venture at ZPI. Avoid him like an STD.

Thanks for the update, glad I could help you out. It's hilarious to me, ole "Kenny the crook" stole in the area of $100,000 from TC.com. Also, not sure if you missed it Dave the owner of TC.com was on Dr. Phil on a story about how his russian mail order bride was being treated like a slave......oh the irony of me calling out people how I see them.....
