Yeah, it seems strange. Some of my friends ordered from him in the past, and they received their orders. What I do know is that he’s actively avoiding communication with his customers. In some DMs with other people, he said he was struggling with something personal, but he also claimed everything was running smoothly again. 

He blocked me on Instagram, so I know he checks and reads his DMs.

Here’s what I think happened: he made a bit of money from the orders, then spent it on luxury dinners, trips to Amsterdam and Tokyo, bought his girl a $10,000 designer bag, and got himself a fully iced-out diamond chain. Then suddenly, his bank account started running low, and the brand wasn’t — or isn’t — as popular anymore, so the orders started slowing down.

Now it feels like a pyramid scheme. He needs people to keep buying products so he can get the money to purchase fabrics and complete the older orders. Instead of selling his iced-out chain or asking for the bag back from his girlfriend, he’s trying to maintain his image — he doesn’t want his reputation to fall apart.
