Admins credited my account back with no hassle a few days after I disputed. I highly encourage anyone else who still has funds tied up with this vendor to dispute! I've also sent a message to Kapteeni asking him to take down the remaining active listings for this vendor... hopefully that will happen.
To everyone who FE'd to this guy... sorry about your luck. :(
Hopefully he eludes LE and comes back at some point to make everything right with you. From what I understand this guy WAS legit and just ran into legal trouble...
