my responsibility for the funds stop at the point when the funds are in to Avalon.
Are you involved with making sure we get the chips from OP?
As per the contract, JohnK is only responsible for buying the chips to the address OP has provided. OP has presumably provided a driver's license and bills for this address. FWIW OP has tons of reputation and will only get more positive rep from this. He will be very careful to do it right, quickly, and make no snap judgments IMO.
