At least he did not say "Two weeks (TM)", so chances are you may get it at some point. 
Correct me if I am mistaken, however it appears that he did say it would be two weeks. I just spoke with Maidak and I can not disclose his situation, but I do have some info. Maidak will be back on the 24th of this month (2 weeks) and pay OP back.
It seems that he was having problems for some time now. Even though this guy had a very good reputation, I'm confused why people were so trusting of him after it was appearant of his problems/delays.
I agree. The chance might be high that he is in a financial predicament.
I was lucky. I could push him with the threat of opening a scam accusation thread. I gave him a enddate when i will do it. That worked, even though he let make it one of his "partners". You see how that looks.
Anyway... now, since this thread is in existance, and maidaks name was tarnished, he might think he doesnt have much to loose anymore, so the pressure on him is lower than when i pressured him.
That's not an excuse. Even when banks go bankrupt, they need to refund the money to their account holders. He is scamming others too quoting his personal problems. If he does have any financial problems, he shouldn't do trades with such a high value. It's wrong to keep a person waiting for his money for so long. It's also a concern that after he owed $5000 to another user that he wasn't able to pay, he still kept trading with other users. What does that mean?
He is alright...I will let him explain whatever details he wants. I was just trying to get OP an answer about when he gets what is owed.
Xestr - all I have is a few texts with little more info than I posted. I was asked just to pass on when he will be back to settle up his debts. If what I was told is the truth then I understand the delay. I agree though stuff like this is not good when trading.

If he told you the same he told me then still... it might be a huge personal problem but it really would be nothing that makes it impossible to take 5 minutes time and make a post in here.
And this is why to me it just seems like excuses excuses. If he can text you guys then he should be able to text or contact the people he borrowed money from but he's more than likely just stalling. Seen it time after time here with people claiming personal problems or giving excuses as to why they can't send the money when they've likely just gotten themselves into a financial predicament and then just taken advantage of their supposed trust and rep to either steal or get an interest free loan. The least you guys could do is tell maidak to update the people he has kept money from or tell them yourselves.

Glad to hear that Blazedout419 made contact with him. For sure this is not going to help Maidak's reputation, but it's good to see that he realizes that he has a good name to uphold around here and that he's going to come back. I did a little work for Maidak back in the day and I would have for sure been sad if he had gone rogue.
Sorry to OP for your delay and troubles, but I'll be looking forward to seeing that OP change topics when this is resolved in your favor soon.

what happened with maidak?
he is (or was) a nice guy.

If he told you the same he told me then still... it might be a huge personal problem but it really would be nothing that makes it impossible to take 5 minutes time and make a post in here. Or simply pay if he has the money. I mean even with a blocked bank account... sending someone money should be possible. And it would not take much time... IF you have the money.
The $5000 accusation could match in the problems he described.
I know personal problems are a real problem but taking money from others then, maybe knowing that you cant pay back (instantly)? I dont think i would do that. Though on the other hand... its said people can be pushed so hard on the abyss that the own moral is tested hard.
He also told me that he had his bank account blocked, although this was a really long time ago, and meanwhile I saw he was still exchanging money here. Then he told me it was his partner from China that was managing his account.
Then since March or April, he told me he got a new job, and that he would be paying me a little week per week, which I agreed. Of course he never did that. And every time I mentioned it, he said "I had a [insert_problem_here], I will be able to do it next week." Now it's been 3 more weeks with no answers, and we're in June. This all started in September 2014. I don't expect to see my money back really, but no one should believe his excuses. There's really no excuse for having $5000 from someone that long.

I was also scammed $5000 by Maidak.
Here's my post with details: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-was-scammed-5000-by-maidak-been-waiting-for-6-months-proof-inside-1086873
I've been waiting for him more than 6 months to pay me what he owes me. I'm really tired of his excuses and also no answering for weeks.
ALWAYS a different excuse, for more than 6 months. I've been REALLY patient, as I haven't said anything because of his reputation. But well, it seems he really scammed me.

Rehab?
That is exactly what I was thinking, however I didn't want to put his name through more direct then necessary, especially when it would be based off of speculation.

I seen some guys get scammed like thousands, so consider it wasnt compared to that..
but yeah $400 dollars is a large amount of money still, cause it could be half months of rent right there.. I mean we cant really do anything about the situation..

He explain why he took BTC from someone, disappear only to come back not having paid that person and take more BTC from someone else with terms of paying back in hours and disappear again? That's what I find suspicious about this whole thing. Nothing adds up: Take BTC from someone, disappear, take BTC from someone else and come up with excuse after excuse while 1 hour turns into weeks. Claimed to be in the hospital the first time according to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11536992 - Then was cashing out at the ATM and etc but couldn't payback the first guy?
Call him whatever you want (trusted, good guy, etc) but after seeing the above, how can you not be suspicious? How can anyone blame shdvb for being impatient after being told one hour, then nothing but excuses? Why start deals knowing you can't complete them in time instead of just taking out a loan?
Blazedout419 - With the info you can't disclose, was he being honest with shdvb and DjVoodo?

That's good to hear. I'm glad this wasn't just some exit scam from a high repped member. Although it still sucks that OP has to wait to get his money back. Hopefully Maidak will be okay.

it's strange, in his profile he did say that he don't conduct any trade on skype, so how come he used skype with you?
his password was also changed recently, there is a chance that his profile could be hacked?

FWIW, if you had hacked his bitcointalk account in order to scam someone, wouldn't you change the profile message so that it didn't say "I don't trade on skype" if your plan was to trade on skype. Of course, it might have been overlooked.
