Chase' statement:
Dear Arcade Containers Customers,
My name is Chase Zarefoss. I am Thomas’s associate in the US and I am writing this to help Thomas explain what is happening here. Although I can’t get into details now, I wanted to make a statement for clarification.
As you have heard, there was a charge of theft made against me, and you may have been sent a link to a Maryland State web site showing that I was found guilty. This is not the whole story. Charges were filed and I did make a deal with the prosecution to enter an Alfred Plea and receive Probation before Judgment. An Alfred plea is not an admission of guilt.
If I had taken a chance with a court trial and was found guilty, even of a misdemeanor offense, the damage to my personal life may have been irreparable. A court record currently exists because the Judge wanted to make sure that court costs were paid before Probation before Judgment was granted. These fees have been paid and my attorney will file the paperwork to adjust the record shortly, with the expectation that Probation before Judgment will be issued and the court record expunged within a month or so.
My accusers know this, hence the blitzkrieg PMing and online shaming that is taking place. The accusations that were made against me are in no way related to my relationship with Thomas, past or present, and everything Thomas has put in my care is safe. Proof of this [e.g. time and date stamped pictures] can be provided via a request through Thomas.
I regret any stress or worries caused by these latest personal attacks on me. Please remember that these have been ongoing for over nine months, and all of the containers shipped by me to Thomas during that time have arrived safely. We are working hard to speed up the current container shipment now that things are back on track. Progress pictures will be taken and Thomas will post them. Thank you for your business and patience.
Chase Zarefoss
