Vendor budbroker coming out of nowhere offering a reship, seems sketchy?

I ordered bud off of him on Agora 4 months ago and never received the package. Messaged him many times, began the resolution service, lost my money, and messaged him many times since then, never a response.

Today I see a message from him that says:

Hello, i was locked out and would love to maket his [sic] up to you

Is this LE? Doing some research and I came across this thread saying that he got busted during Onymous, but couldn't find anything to verify that. Has anyone ordered from him recently? Should I just ask for a refund? If so, how can I safely do this? Thanks.

Just ask for a refund, order somewhere else. Don't take any chances.

Budbroker, for those who don't know, was a top bud vendor on Evo last Aug-Oct. Sometime during the first week of November, budbroker disappeared. This is days after Onymous. I was one of many people who had orders marked "shipped" but received nothing. After 5 days of the vendor not logging in, Evo support refunded everybody. It could be he got some attention from LE or he pulled an exit scam, because he was doing "off-site" transactions, multiple people complained on reddit and the evo forum of not receiving their direct order or some receiving 1lb from a 2lb order and never being compensated etc.

IMO there is a 60% chance that LE is in control of the account, and a 40% chance it is budbroker trying to scam some people.

DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THIS PERSON.

Give him a btc adress and ask for 75-100%or whatever refund. Mention you'll post on reddit or the forums and give him a good/bad feedback on his actions!

NO WAY

I made that thread a long long time ago and thought it was done forever. I'm not sure what to do here guys. I would really prefer getting the large quantity of product I paid for.

OP, can you please relay any information from him to me via PM or otherwise? I really would like to be in contact with him but currently only have his Torchat address. I'm having issues getting back into my agora account but I made a private purchase via Torchat so I feel that isn't relevant.
