According to the guys at Audiogon, Alek has flown the koop. He's in Bulgaria and is not answering emails. Several people are complaining about him having their players and cash. Not answering phones, leaving some cryptic messages on his site. Check out the site, it looks grim for the APL customers. I'm kind've sad about this because he made really cool looking stuff and seemed to be highly regarded.
Let me know if this is just a misunderstanding or if he shows up somewhere...
