After having read the complaint and rebuttal to Ripoff Report #466718, I did a little research and found a case in the Court of Appeals of Indiana in which an Alex Shiriaev appealed (and lost) a civil-suit finding against him (to the tune of $160+K damages and $40+K legal fees.
The case involved Shiriaev loaning a leasee of one of Shiriaev's properties money for construction-equipment purchases, including a bobcat. The bobcat turned up missing, so the leasee reported it stolen.
Shiriaev then demanded, from the leasee, the insurance money from the stolen bobcat.
The leasee hired a PI to research the missing bobcat, only to find it on the property of -- get this -- Shiriaev's brother.
Shiriaev then dropped his insurance-reimbursement demands of the leasee.
The leasee sued Shiriaev and won in a trial court. 
Shiriaeve appealed, attempting to fraudulently hide his money in a corporate account, but an appellate court upheld the trial-court's finding and Shiriaev was required to pay the plaintiff out of Shiriaev's available assets.

 I recently purchased a product from Summit Source, it was listed as "backordered 4 to 6 weeks." I'll give it 6 weeks, and if repeated attempts to get a satisfactory answer and/or product delivered from Summit Source fail, I'll write an in-depth story for a major news outlet (I'm a journalist).

 Overall, EXERCISE CAUTION in dealing with Summit Source. They seem to have a reasonably favorable rating Internet-wide, including with the BBB, but sometimes these online operations can be a real wrestling match when it comes to receiving what you paid for.
Interestingly, this Alex may be related to early 20-century Russian animated filmmaker Alexander Shiriaev; who knows? http://dancemedia.com/v/1742
