I wanted to share my results in case there are some of you still out of money.
I had 2 refunds from master card as they were still in the chargeback period.
I had 2 other transactions outside of the chargeback period. After dealing with the manager in their dispute department I escalated it to their complaints resolution department and eventually Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments.
Upon further review they came back and said you have 119 days to due a chargeback from date of purchase OR expected date you were supposed to receive the package. The latter is important because I couldn't find this anywhere on their website, but since my items were preorders outside of 119 days and never shipped they were able to start the refund process.
For those of you who are still out money you could always check to see if he actually filed bankruptcy, it's public info:

Wouldn't surprise me if he just said he was going to file....
