i'm getting closer and closer to meeting my income goal to quit my job and i guess the arbi thread really kicked things off for me. it's sad to see how things turned out.
Are you kidding me??? I had a feeling this guy was piece of shit by the way he presents himself, but I never tought he would stoop that low.
It'd be some sweet fucking irony if this prick does get diagnosed...
I would never wish it upon anyone since I've been around cancer my entire life, but there are always exceptions.
For never doing affiliate marketing or Arbitrage, he sure seemed to know his shit. How, better yet, why would anyone spend the time learning the system, the lingo and what not, just to talk game. To the best of my knowledge hes never profited from anyone here, just got allot of attention. Why would someone throw a line of BS out like that for so long, just for attention?
Didnt he also show up at ASW? Why, if he was just BS'ing people, or maybe I am missing something, maybe he did profit from his WF con job.
Something stinks here.
If it is in fact true, what a sad, sad truth it would be.

man, that sucks to hear... His arbi post was the most information-packed, influential tutorial I've ever read on the subject, and I'm making a lot of money because of it.
If he faked having experience/knowledge in arbi, he deserves a freaking oscar, because almost everything he said worked.
Chris, if all this is true, I'm shocked. Regardless, thx for improving my bottom line.

I'm sorry but anyone with half a brain could learn the webmaster business and talk a big game just by reading forums and blogs, he never really said anything that everyone didn't already know.
This is the internet.
It's easy to talk a big game without ever showing much proof, if any. He was called out months ago though for having faked his own stats or copying someone else's and saying it was his. I forget. But as soon as people started giving him shit about it, that's when he pulled the "well I'm not in the right state of mind because I just found out I have cancer" card. But magically, by Vegas he was cured and since then has never shown any signs of ever having it or speaking of it. A lot of guys here have met up with him since then, and I think that was one of the fishy topics they were starting to question about him. Still though, there is no proof he didn't have it, but even less that he ever did.
I was speaking to Lerch and Engaged about this earlier because they were the ones who found it all out, but also the ones directly effected by it, as they were the closest to him. It's not like they just found this all out and that's the end of it. He also stole something around $50k worth of affiliate earnings that they generated with him. So here they lost trust in a partner, a friend, and also some cash to boot. Not to mention had this happened at a later date, they may have also been labeled as scammers if they were tied to him for much longer and someone else caught wind of it before them. It's just another business lesson, it happens. This time around I think this whole thing will make people a lot more wary of who they do business with and get things in writing first.
My theory for all of this is that he liked being in the spotlight of that person that helped others and didn't ask for anything in return. It's the celebrity status that the internet brings when you put out good advice or tutorials.
When the storm calmed from that, he started voicing his disrespect and disgust for Shoemoney, which of course draw a crowd and some new fans and friends. He liked being that tough guy that didn't give a shit about anything, and being that type of bully made him realize that you can use other people's popularity to your benefit. Which brings this back to me and WF. When he orchestrated and really riled up the crowd to hate me for just about everything he could think of, all the while talking to me on the phone and telling me it was everyone else doing it, and that he was fighting for me. By going after me, and my forum, and Shoemoney he probably felt untouchable, as if he could just discredit everyone that may or may not be able to bring up any of his old threads on other forums, this way, we would be assumed to be liars, and he would of course be praised and no one would believe us. It's a very clever tactic, and he did a great job at it, but he forgot one of the biggest drawbacks... himself.
The reason he was called out so quickly is because he got drunk and told Lerch about his trust fund. Kind of ironic how the one thing he didn't have control over, and the most important thing too, was himself. He had also made some pretty outrageous claims to other people when he was drunk that were just plain dumb. I guess it was only a matter of time until he fucked up enough to ruin his sick and twisted master plan. I also think the reason he went to such great lengths to do this was that it didn't start out as a business thing, but spiralled into one as he got more and more greedy, and closer to actually doing what he was telling people he did, and able to make what he hoped he'd one day do. Unfortunately for him, it was built on lies, and just came crashing down in the end.
Well as an actual cancer survivor and having a friend of 14 years battling the shit right now that is the most fucked up thing anyone could lie about having...just not fucking cool!
He deserves everything that happens as a result of his cons.
