It is my guess that the IEM's are severely overpriced for the time being. It is great to see the complaint working out!

I can't help to wonder why Head-Fi would not act in their own best self interest. Why isn't Head-Fi protecting their own business interests? (Game Theory) Larry Ho has caused some severe damage to audio high end businesses, but mostly, to those who legitimately profit from advertisement. This is a major multi-million fiasco that has put a dent in our collective level of trust. Low trust is horrible for business, and when businesses don't do well the first thing they do is cut on advertisement expenses. So it is a big mystery to me why the owner(s) of Head-Fi are not allowing us to single out and expose Larry Ho. This is not a vendetta. This is a matter of rebuilding trust by seeking justice. There is a good chance that Head-Fi's lack of interest will have a boomerang effect. We are small community and many will resent the fact that they are purposely not helping us (their "policy"could be easily adjusted by one little email from their director). Just think about this: Jarek (a proven pathological liar) loves and talks good things about Head-fi. How twisted that is!

Larry Ho is simply following his good ol' plan: manufacture something really good and expensive so he can sell affordable stuff (in our case, so he can rip us off with affordable stuff that was never delivered). Now he wants to screw over our fellow audiophiles in Asia. Same guy. Same plan.

They keep coming up with products financed by us. Here are 3 reviews. By the way, it would be a great idea if we posted our comments on these reviews (try to add links to existing forums that discuss Light Harmonic. Links are powerful!!) https://majorhifi.com/light-harmonic-mera-review/ https://majorhifi.com/light-harmonic-stella-review/ https://www.headfonia.com/review-light-harmonic-stella/

My pleasure, Jarek. I wrote this on the forum: And a few minutes after, you wrote me this via private message: (the subject title "refund" was of your making).

In order to get to Larry Ho, I would advise we try to start thinking like Larry Ho. He is a Chinese national who has returned to his home country and is currently doing business in China (Who would want to do business with him in the USA or Europe??). By the way, I am a successful online marketing expert who knows the Chinese market pretty well. In the past, Light Harmonic offered me money to stop me from doing the following: spread in China what they have done in the English speaking market. They offered me money because bad publicity in China is what really scares Larry Ho. In the near future, I am planning to hire a a Chinese speaking person who can help me with a strategy that targets Chinese speaking forums. (Yes, I don't mind using money out of my own pocket. I feel like it is a personal matter.) So my advice would be: spread the word! Go to every forum you can (including the "comments" area of news articles) and express your opinion on Larry Ho and Light Harmonic. Use their names. "Larry Ho" and "Light Harmonic" are keyterms, which means search engines will index them as such and do their own job to spread the news. Those who can do this in Chinese, you are our best allies! I will try to come up with a solid online marketing strategy in the next few months that aims on communicating the Chinese speaking audio market on what Larry Ho did to the English speaking audio community. If there is anyone out there who speaks native level Chinese and might be able to assist me with this task, please let me know. Let's all have a better 2020!!

I can see where you are coming from. Perhaps we could switch to "funny memes of Larry Ho." Humor is powerful. It is customary to make fun of those who willingly become public figures. Larry chose to go public by defrauding so many. By the way, memes of Larry or anything funny that portrays him would be a very powerful marketing tool in order to attract his attention and, hopefully, turn him into a pariah of the hi-fi community.

LH and Light Harmonic have the same initials as Larry Ho. He is the only stakeholder as far as we know. Furthermore, Larry Ho continues to sell audio products designed and built with the enormous sum he took from us. I understand if people are angry and feel like picking on Gavin. After all, he was Larry’s front man (a smart marketing move for reasons that may be inappropriate to bring up on this forum).

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the opportunity we have in this forum to unite and try to repair the damage Light Harmonic´s owner Larry Ho has done to the high end audio community.

Hello Mr. Computer Audiophile, I started this thread some time ago. Would you be so kind as to change the title of this thread to: Light Harmonic (LH Labs). Scam? USD$6 million not delivered since 2014. I believe this new title reflects our current surreal scenario. They sold us the Brooklyn Bridge. Thanks!!

I believe the FBI will probably be willing to go after Larry Ho. After all, they have done so as a result of this 600K Indiegogo scam https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/13/20758599/idealfuture-dragonfly-futurefon-indiegogo-crowdfunding-phone-scam-fraud-case The Larry Ho scam was 10 times larger than the one in the article. I think one of our best moves is collectively contact the media (and the FBI?).

I assume any consumer in the world wants to: 1) Receive what they paid for. 2) Have a warranty. 3) Get parts and repair service for many years to come. In China they shoot corrupt politicians and imprison billionaires who do not pay their taxes. Perhaps we should file charges against Larry Ho in China.

It seems that many LH Labs backers seem highly disappointed and believe it is pointless to do anything about this whole matter. Allow me to disagree. Even if we do not ever see our products or get a refund, we can still see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, it is not that difficult to find justice. We should try hard to prevent others from buying from Larry Ho. Eventually, our claims will reach the Chinese market and no one in the world will ever trust Larry Ho again. The spreadsheet Markus is putting together is a great start. It allows us to get organized and move forward. Sooner or later, we will reach two major goals: 1) Larry Ho will be prosecuted. 2) Our claims will be translated to Chinese; the China based web sites will link to our forums; and Larry Ho's reputation will be damaged. Once any of the above happens, Larry Ho will have no choice but to either take the fall or, finally, honor his commitments to us.

Larry Ho has moved his business to China, so if we want his attention, we need him exposed in that area of the world. By "exposure" I mean online content that will rank high on Google, so anyone who googles Larry Ho and his business will find info on what he did to us on Indiegogo. By the way, I own a mid size internet-based business and I personally run the marketing department. So this is one example of what could be published in Chinese: Tile of Thread: "Larry Ho, LH Labs and the 6-Million Dollar Audio Fiasco." Content: "Larry Ho, owner of LH Labs, has not delivered on his promises. He raised over USD$6 Million in Indiegogo and has 1000s of buyers very angry because they have not received what they paid for. Beware buyers of the his very expensive IEMs, such as the Stellas, as Larry Ho is trying to pull off what he did in California right here in China: Build very expensive products, gain market credibility, and rip us off. You will find the countless angry clients of LH in these threads in English: -Here you list as many threads as you can. I would include these - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/light-harmonic-geek-wave.713829/page-311#post-14452599 https://www.head-fi.org/threads/geek-pulse-geek-desktop-dac-amp-by-light-harmonics.687851/page-892 https://www.head-fi.org/threads/lh-labs-gorgeous-vi-dac-tube-ss-outputs.754102/page-68 " And there you go! You start a topic that will ignite curiosity and will rank high on Google or the Chinese equivalent.

Jarek, would you be so kind as to share with us the total numbers of backers who have not received their products yet? It matters to a lot of us to know this number, and we will deeply appreciate your eagerness to help us with some real answers to the tougher questions. This is one of the tougher questions. I believing you can contain many of the angrier backers by showing us that you can be an honest person. Truth is the first step towards reconciliation.
