Vivid messaged me on IRC and I took the opportunity to conduct this interview which I believe will interest several people. I won't vouch 100% that it is in fact him, but I personally believe it is due to the fact that he was able to answer several questions concerning past interactions between he and I.

<InVerse> Q: It seems that you've defrauded quite a bit of people out of money,
             do you admit to this?
<VividX>  A: I admit that a lot of the money was taken.

<InVerse> Q: Was this a scheme all along or was it just a spur of the moment thing?
<VividX>  A: No I never planned anything that has happened. DrekkZ, one of the
	     pre-orderers got his PC JR. A lot of the money was taken, and the rest 
	     was returned. I never imagined any of this would of happened.

<InVerse> Q: You say a lot of money was taken.. taken by whom?
<VividX>  A: I still do not know.

<InVerse> Q: Are you saying it was stolen from you?
<VividX>  A: Yes.

<InVerse> Q: There were rumors that your recent disappearance involved another console
	     dealer by the name of Stylex and a broken deal concerning the vapor-ware 
	     Nemesis 64. Any truth to that?
<VividX>  A: None. Stylex and I did have problems, which are explained at 
	     http://members.tripod.com/~heXim/stylexsucks.txt
             but I highly doubt they had anything to do with this situation.

<InVerse> Q: Would you care to explain exactly why you disappeared, then?
<VividX>  A: The move had to do with many things. One of them the loss of the money, 
             and my inibility to replace it.

<InVerse> Q: So would you care to explain exactly what happened to the money to the 
  	     best of your knowledge?
<VividX>  A: A lot of it was taken.

<InVerse> Q: Any more detail than that? Such as where it was taken from? Who might 
             have taken it? How it was taken?
<VividX>  A: (no comment)

<InVerse> Q: Would you care to give us any insight as to the details of your 
             disappearance? Obviously you won't disclose your location, but people 
	     might be interested in what you've done since then.
<VividX>  A: Well, basically I have to try to start my life over again, of course. On my
	     list of things to do is to find a job, a stable place to live, finish 
	     school, all those things I should of done a long time ago.

<InVerse> Q: I know that some people have received refunds for the purchase of Dr. PC
             Jrs. Will the rest of the people be receiving refunds as well?
<VividX>  A: All of the Vivid Barrier records are lost, I have no way of knowing who 
	     sent payment for the units. As for me replacing the money, I have only 
             $2.00 to my name, and don't see that happening soon. I feel bad about 
	     all of this, but as of now I can really just say I am sorry.

<InVerse> Q: Is there anyway that someone could contact you if they wanted to personally
             comment to you on the situation?
<VividX>  A: No way to really contact me.

<InVerse> Q: How are you on-line right now, besides AOL obviously?
<VividX>  A: library

<InVerse> Q: They have AOL at a library?
<VividX>  A: you're not soposed to install your own software, but fuck it :)
	     <Editorial Comment: HAW!>
		
<InVerse> Q: Is there any last words you'd like to conclude this interview with?
<VividX>  A: I'm sorry all of this happened.
