I wonder if the guy makes any money at all, filling your competitor's orders is never good for the bottom line :P
he does it again

Been reading the threads about this guy and it's funny as hell. Makes me wonder how many other people are out there like him? I mean I run a small production corp atm, but this maket trading stuff where you get all sorts of silly threats seems much more fun. 
It's not that much fun actually, that guy is unique, thats why all the excitement :p
Sometimes you do get involved in a bid war but I usually don't even bother to figure out whom I'm fighting, it takes time and time = ISK, hehe.

Be thankful it's just +1 implants.
In my early beginnings I had a great thing going with Vitoc. about a month after I started I was able to buy 6000 units at 7500ea and sell it at 12000ea I was making a fortune.
Then someone who I was "undercutting" threatened me, it turned into a price war, profits on both sides where low. Then a third party came in. The guy I was undercutting paid some Pirate like 25million to kill this 3rd guy. However the pirate he paid was known to me which I had already paid my "right to trade" fee in the system. So they wouldn't take the contract on me, but they said if he offers more they would.
I was even debating to put a contract on the guy that threatened me. I was going to go as high as 50mil for his corpse and the kill mail.
The moral is, people with money that you interfere with will do anything they can to make you stop.  Be thankful you're talking about 20% spread instead of a 75% on large quality of items.
How can killing someone prevent him from trading? If someone really ****ed me off in a price war I would just place a huge buy order at 3% spread and resume normal operation in a week or so when the guy gave up. Yes it would kill the profit for that week but you would not be losing any money and such an order would not take much time to maintain...
