I just spoke with Maidak and I can not disclose his situation, but I do have some info. Maidak will be back on the 24th of this month (2 weeks) and pay OP back.
Glad to hear that Blazedout419 made contact with him. For sure this is not going to help Maidak's reputation, but it's good to see that he realizes that he has a good name to uphold around here and that he's going to come back. I did a little work for Maidak back in the day and I would have for sure been sad if he had gone rogue.
Sorry to OP for your delay and troubles, but I'll be looking forward to seeing that OP change topics when this is resolved in your favor soon.
