Rhodium

[Womp]

I have some horrible news. We've lost a legend. Rhodium is no longer with us I'm sad to say. I found out on his Signal group just a few minutes ago. Looks like heart failure but don't quote me on that. The family is having an autopsy done. Such a nice, intelligent man that had a lot to offer and helped many. So please send your condolences. I'll try to keep you all updated.

I can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that this is real. I considered him a friend and I know he did the same. He had a lot of struggles both mentally and health wise and unfortunately this all lines up pretty well and have talked with people closer to him that have been contacted by his family and girlfriend about all this. There are far easier ways to exit scam then this and his parents and girlfriend are devastated. Part of me hopes this is some elaborate scheme to get out of the game but from what I know sadly it all seems to be real. I’ll miss shooting the shit with him and he was a great guy that cared deeply about a lot of people. Take care of yourself and your health and if you knew him make sure to take care of yourself. If there was ever an issue he always made it right in the end and i never heard of him ever truly burning anyone.

He's not dead. Creative way to exit though.

This guy was always hit or miss, had longest TD times, and for sure selectively scammed his customers.

Dude is a grease ball, but will 100% be back in a few months under an alternate alias.

It does indeed seem to be true. I'm crushed. He was a real good dude.

I suppose you never know and in this case, I'm quite sure it's true.

Damn! for those closest to him!
May your hurt, be a little lesser by us shouldering your pain.

Like another said, if this is real, I hope he rests in peace. I also know he owed a lot of people refunds, so as much as I hate to say it: I hope this isn’t some sort of ‘publicity stunt’ for him to get out of the game. Time will tell I guess… but for now we in peace rhodi

Jeez, yeah the timing of it is certainly uncanny isn't it? Did the pastebin also just go down at the same time? Is that something his next of kin would have access to? Incredibly unfortunate situation, no matter what. I don't mean to speak ill of the departed or anything. Just have to maintain a healthy skepticism when we don't have many facts to go on. RIP Rhodi.

Am I the only one that was in his Signal chat group? Yes it's confirmed. He was actually a very compassionate guy. If you ever got a chance to see the non business Rhodium, you would know what I mean. He actually really cares about us. His health was getting worse mostly due to the stress he was under for obvious reasons. His health issue is something a lot of people don't know about and I had a feeling he was getting worse. Lack of typical "shoot the shit" voice calls. So I ask everyone to please be respectful and refrain from comments about exit scamming. Just so you guys know, they're is someone else that's taking over and is going to take care of all that was left behind. But I would be patient please. Much love to the family and his girl. I've been very upset and am trying not to allow myself to get to down, so by choice I won't be updating too much if at all from here on the subject. But hopefully this clarifies some things and those with open orders, I would advise you to get an invite to his Signal and leave a message. I will at least (if it's okay with him) try to give you guys the contact info to inquire about open orders. Again, please be respectful when doing so.

Thanks for the update, man. I only had one TD with him, and despite a few hiccups, I got the feeling he was a genuine person who cared about his customers.I appreciate you clearing things up. Any chance you could point me to the Signal group? I'd really appreciate it. Much respect and love to his family, his girl, and everyone close to him.

I unfortunately never got to try my first one, was taking so long that I decided I just wanted a refund—was waiting on a response and then got this news.

But same here, I really feel for his loved ones. Maybe fulfilling the final orders will give them some sort of closure. From what I can tell he was a genuine, professional guy that didn’t want to scam.

Whenever whoever is taking over is ready, I’d like to join the Signal group too. Maybe some in our community can help support them during this time over there too.

I did some business with Rhodium. He added me a while back and asked me to exchange information and shipping methods etc. I helped him out sending him some customers in US (Because we dont ship there). Also products that i didnt sell and he did, i gladly would send them to him. Under caution of course i do earn anything from this so dont hold me reliable.

He sold some of my customers and they were very satisfied. So i got nothing bad to say about the man.

However i noticed that he was chaotic lately. Sounded in a hurry alot and wasnt the same person as in the beginning. I can not say that if this is true, but i agree if this is a exit scam. Its a sick one, there are many easier ways of going out instead of declaring yourself 'dead'. Just delete everything and start over.

Hopefully it isnt true. If it is RIP Rhodium.
