My buddy Joe Underwood (as well as others I sure) sent Lefty Madrid a cash advance to secure a Marauder bullpup kit several months ago.

I got an e-mail this afternoon from Lefty and this is how it read;

The short of it is, Joe got his money back this afternoon.


Dave, I am barely able to set these words, so my wife will help. I
have had health issues, (Heart problems) I just got back, and will try
to recup. I have had my wife (God bless her) for helping me return
everyone's money for the orders. I am deeply sorry, for I did not know
I would suffer a heart attack. I would never ever steal from anyone! I
am a Christian, and go to church. That's so nice of you to want to
help others. But I assure you, I would never do such a thing. My wife
has returned everone's money today. I am determined to finish this
darn kit, as soon as I can do it. I will.

Regards, Jessie Please let others know, I
would certainly appreciate that. I can't do much right now.

So there's some scuttlebutt & reads as if for the immediate future be NO drop in Marauder pups from this individual
