I've contacted a Private Investigator in Seattle. He now has all the information on Joe that I have. It's going to cost me $65/hr to use his services, but from what I've found online about him, he's pretty damn good.

If I'm able to locate Joe's whereabouts through this PI, I will share it freely on this thread. I will post a donation address though after I get the final bill if Joe is located to hopefully get donations from any victims if the information proves helpful in recouping losses associated with this.

The PI even said if he locates Joe, he will go try and see him and demand the equipment be turned over to him in its entirety right then and there. Otherwise, the legal route we go!

Thanks everyone,
Moose
