Did he actually deliver product to customers?
NO, though I’d keep sniffing down the review section of his online business and how it plays in.
POSSIBLY, BUT ALSO ON THE PHONE
YES, though sometimes counterfeit.
Was this some sort of insult generator or hotline?
Was he accusing complainers of lying about the product?
In his trolling did he make direct threats to harm people?
Were the people he was threatening the same people who would buy his product?
Did he troll specifically so that other people would propagate his trolling which would lead them to his site?
Was he and his site the target of his own trolling?
NO, just a glasses place.
I assume so, and their intentions. And about payments. Really everything he could.
Let’s just say this is a very bizarre man and if he could keep himself contained, he might have been “mad like a fox”, but ended up not being like a fox at all.
Was he relying on the victims of his trolling telling other prospective customers… something?
Was he relying on prospective customers stumbling upon the trolling independently somehow?
Would the victims of his trolling have known that there was a connection between their treatment and the product they’d bought from him?
Was his reason for targeting his customers specifically (rather than targeting anyone else) anything other than that he had easy contact information for his customers?
Did Igor’s scheme actually work (for a while, at least: I assume it stopped working once he got arrested)?
I would emphasize Igor lucked his way into all of this. “Scheme” is too thoughtful. More like a maniac that things worked out for…for awhile.
Did the people who bought from him expect to get scammed?
Did people suggest to others go to his site in hopes that they would get scammed/abused?
Did people find his trolling funny?
NO, they did not.
You say he lucked into this. Did he fail at what he was directly trying to do, while succeeding in some unintended way?
Did his legal complications benefit him somehow?
I can reveal the answer tonight around 8PM. I think you are all about 85% there.
Answer:
Igor trolled because despite what you might think, negative reviews INCREASED his business. Any publicity is good publicity. He stated how much he hated the idea of “the customer is always right” and so he slammed any criticism, practiced awful interactions with customers, and even called their credit card companies pretending to be them. He openly threatened people who complained.
He posted:
“Hello, My name is Stanley with DecorMyEyes.com,” the post began. “I just wanted to let you guys know that the more replies you people post, the more business and the more hits and sales I get. My goal is NEGATIVE advertisement.”

Vitalay Borker did go to prison for numerous types of fraud, though he is out now. Rumors are he has started again? He was arrested in 2022 for more fraud. It’s unclear his status.
Here is his Wikipedia:
They say Mary plugged her phone in before she laid down to sleep. This was not true, but why would it be unusual?
Is “they” a specific group of people?
Was it said to be plugged in to the mains electricity to charge it?
Is Mary human?
Is “they” a specific group of people? No
Was it said to be plugged in to the mains electricity to charge it? No
Is Mary human? Yes
Morbid thought: is Mary dead?
(I’d bet money that, if COLUMBO episodes were still being made in this cellphone-soaked era, we’d see a guy commit an seemingly perfect murder and leave no obvious clues while arranging the body in bed — plugging in her phone for the night like he figures she would, and like the audience figures she would, and like the first cops to arrive figure she would — before our hero eventually makes eyes bulge with an innocuous, well, sir, it’s unusual that they keep sayin’ she’d plugged in her phone there before layin’ down to sleep, because she never did that.)
Yes, Mary is dead.
Is the question why would it be unusual to plug her phone in before she went to sleep?
[alternative why would it be unusual ot be untrue?]
Is Mary dead because she didn’t plug her phone in?
Did Mary have a disability or illness?
