    If it's this guy's full name, I'm missing the first name...
    Does a man that may not exist at all need to have a first name?

              i told them i would order a copy of the rental contract he signed from the government. it takes a few days for them to handle the request, print the paper and post it to me. i will reply to the mods when i have proof to show.

              and its not like they requested the evidence, i offered to bring it... i can post message log print screens if you want to.

                  The correspondence was actually shared with all moderators so I am aware of who said and what. They requested proof, you suggested a rental contract, and apparently you don't even have a copy of it which is ridicilous if its your apartment. Looks like you said you'll fetch it "tomorrow" 4 days ago, now you suddenly have to wait for it. smells like bullshit, just like everything else you've said.

                      No, i said "Ill order a copy tommorow at the tax department". Never claimed that i would have it by tommorow. When you order something from a state department it usually means that you have to wait for it for at least some time.

                      i have the original. It has no "Signed and printed by the government" sign so why upload it just so this mob squad can mock about how i made a fake copy?

                        I wonder if you realize yourself how absurdly suspicious you sound... not just the situation you are in, but the way you present yourself.

                        if I was in your position (or rather what you claim to be in), I would've shared every bit of proof I have at hand on the first day this came up, even it means a "non stamped contract", or tying this fucker in a chair and taking a picture of him with a sign that says THIS GUY IS THE SCAMMER. After that, if someone wants, you can fetch official documents. But instead it looks like you spent this entire week dodging questions and giving weird excuses, and no one has seen any proof at all to support your stories. well, one of the admins on sufu said next week they'll be calling both the aforementioned tax department and the university your friend is supposedly studying at, so I guess then we will finally know whether you are a liar like everyone assumes, or you got yourself into the most ridicilous imagineable situation on the planet....

                          Yeah you could have done a lot to prove this miyamoto minase guy exists.

                          You could have furnished pictures. It's pretty hard to believe that a person operating in this niche doesn't have any fit pics if only shared between close acquaintances...

                          As mentioned the name seems pretty fake since it is two family names and a quick google shows there's pretty much nobody with that name in real life running around let alone a particular scammer.

                          Now it may be that this is just an internet name the guy uses and that he's not really Japanese but was a westerner who lived in Kyoto who acted as a proxy while operating under that alias.

                          Sadly you've dug a bit of a hole because if the vaguely plausible story I outlined comes out now rather than day 1 it just seems like grasping at straws in a desperate defense. Ohwell sounds like the team at superfuture will get to the bottom of this.

                          Good luck to those affected and your name being cleared if you are on the up and up quietnoise.

                            I would figure a picture of his ID (or school ID) would suffice as proof enough of his existence. Surely he has one of those..

                            but instead we're left in this state of purgatory where we're constantly wondering "is he telling the truth or is this bullshit?" and that's what drives people crazy. that and being strung along for arbitrary amounts of time..

                              Minase is a given name not a family name. Like Courtney it is a name that can be given to a boy but that most Japanese people associate with girls.

                                he has proxied for you but he doesn't have a paypal account?

                                so this person pays your brother's credit card bills (since he's using his paypal), has access to withdraw sold items' balance to your brother's bank account, then withdraw that in cash??

                                your name is Olle, and your brother's name is Hannes. in Lane's screencap of where he is to deliver, (http://i.imgur.com/KAXjUO0.png) it says send to "Raa Koort". who is that supposed to be?

                                nothing happened while you were away for the summer, as it all happened while you were back in Sweden. in Lane's screencap of Kuja's living situation (http://i.imgur.com/fQ7zJeS.png), it says he only started living at your brother's place since Thursday October 24th
