That's the best you could come up with? You're so lame you hypocrite. Delete this post asshole!
What Rob said was not lame, it was just one of what is likely to be a flood of comments on Casey's blog. (I contributed several tonight--I never signed on to a "boycott" as I value my freedom quite a bit).
Whether Rob does it or someone else does, the blogosphere is crying out for someone who merely _ECHOES_ (quotes verbatim, in its entirety) each of Casey's main topic starters and then lets the chips fall where they may, in responses.
Here, Rob quotes his own reply to part of what Casey said, not Casey's entire (and typically amazing) post.
Which is not to trash what Rob said, just to point out that what Casey said is much more of a topic starter in its sheer audacity (confusing a $250 option with a $1500 payment, bringing up again the easily-dismissed "raffle," and the looming deadline of a gavel auction of his most valuable property next Wednesday).
Sorry, Rob Dawg, but I have to call them as I see them. I expect to be adding more comments over in IAFF.
Things are getting close to the Singularity...don't blink.
Some interesting numbers for math geeks... Let's assume Casey's debt is $2.2 million, increasing at an average rate of 30% per year. Let's also assume the U.S. National Debt is $8 trillion, increasing at 5% per year. These are just approximations, fudge the numbers as you please. Anyway, we can then calculate when Casey's Debt will outpace the National Debt with the following calculation --
(2,200,000)*(1.30)^n = (8 trillion)*(1.05)^n
Solving for n gives a value of approximately 71. Meaning that if left unchecked, Casey's Debt will be greater than the entire Nation's Debt in 71 years!! Wow!!
Rob Dawg, I demand that this blog be kept negative comment free. Delete the comment asking that this post be deleted, then delete this comment, because it's negative.
I meant he would delete my comment. Keep the post up bobby boy. It makes you look like a simpleton. It wasn't even funny, certainly not worthy of its own post.
Hypocrite robb has been deleting comments like candy on the previous thread.
I am surprised that California doesn't have a right of redemption, but after playing google monkey, it appears many states have also abolished it.
What it means is that Casey would have the right to redeem the NM property by paying the back indebtedness, plus all costs for up to either a year or six months. So this, while not exactly free money, is really really close to it, caue no way Casey will ever be able to redeem that property, even if he wanted to. $250 money for nothing, for sure plus another $1250 (and he might be able to get even more, as a poster over on IADFF points out).
I bet Casey doesn't do it. Then talks about how maybe he should or maybe he shouldn't and gets the check but sends it back and......

But this was dismissed in the first days of this blog: Casey's debt is NOT, repeat NOT, the $2.2 million that some of the early newspaper articles incorrectly stated.
if you need this explained to you, ask someone else.
Sorry to sound snarky, but I cannot believe that a member of this esteemed Rob Dawg blog is repeating such an innumerate thing.
Tim, yes I know -- his actual current debt is closer to $600,000 ... though increasing every day due to house price depreciation.
It actually doesn't affect the calculation that significantly, due to the wildly different interest rates. If you say Casey's debt is "only" $600K, then the time to reach National Debt level rises to 77 years, rather than 71. Not much difference... :-)
Yes, you are exactly right. I believe this is the builder/realty company offering Casey a payment in exchange for allowing the foreclosure to proceed with no further legal drama on Casey's part. New Mexico redemption period is only 30 days. Casey couldn't come up with "one dirty penny" but this is the equivalent of paying a bad tenant to move.
And so Casey can't decide if he should take the $1500? Casey, my idiot child, there's no $1500 for you. You might get lucky and get $250 for it, but will the buyer of that Right of Redemption actually be able to gain anything of marketable, non-negative value out of this? Seems really unlikely. And thus you'd never see the $1250.
My personal take, if I had to do it without legal advice? DEAL! Take it and run. You yourself have ZERO chance of getting that property back yourself. Anything you can get now is better than zero. Heck, you might have solicited higher offers before now, but.. well, as usual, too late!
Still, $250 can pay your health insurance and gas money for a month. Or.. hey, why not instead just use it for the cell phone bill and a Jamba Juice?
At 7:36 PM, mel said... "Yo Tim - come down off your mighty high horse. I can assure you that you are not the only one here with an advanced education."
I've never made any claim whatsoever about my education. In fact, I only have a Bachelor's degree. So?
"Get stood up tonight?"
OK, let's play Global Thermonuclear War.
Fuck you, cunt.
Fuck you dead.
Anything Rob Dawg does in your defense, or says in your defense, will result in a 100-fold response by me.
Someone who knows your home address (hint) needs to kill you dead by Monday.
The dead will envy the living.
Fuck you dead, whore. Fuck your corpse the way Anna Nicole's corpse is now being fucked.
You insult me, you violate the rules, I fuck you dead.
Daaamn, this turned into the thread of pointless flamewarring. The Serpent has come to Eden at last, and the hatred that was once a flawless beam directed at Casey has become a fragmented disco ball of loathing and angst, showering all around it with little spots of pissiness.
Dude I thought you were the Anonymous prick posting insults here.
If you hate my blog so much, fine you are entitled to your opinion. If I am imitating anybody, whatever you obviously miss the point of what I am doing. The commentary is good as is the comments. I don't think it's so bad, but heck whatever.
As for saying that to me, I won't dignify such language with a similar response, sir. Talk about immature.
I just closed the blog. My friend is starting research on a film project that relates to the bubble and people like Casey buying this guru crap. It's quite good.
I think I'll spend time helping him outline it, point him in the right direction and post with people I like here.
So be it, thanks.
Thanks to all for coming to my blog. No big loss, it just means I can post all my thoughts here and make this site stronger for anybody who dislikes Casey and his scheming ways.
"Dude I thought you were the Anonymous prick posting insults here."
That describes just about everyone here including yourself. You've libeled just about everyone on the Casey train.
Remember saying this classic gem Dolph?
Saggy guys? C'mon. Babushka of the future, sure, but i would NOT throw her out of bed.
That ass doesn't look so bad. I've seen MUCH worse in this world (in this age of girls wearing less and less). Funny, look at the shot of her bending down at the fridge. Look at her frame, yes she is very "hippy" but the top is very petite. I like a little arse to grab onto and Galina has just enough!
Now a new question folks...what set Tim off like that? Did I miss something (this is another reason I closed the blog...again guys I LOVE that you supported me, but I was losing track of basic things because when I do something I pour myself into it)?
It's not libel dude. It's an opinion which the first amendment allows me to have.
Do you also understand a JOKE? Ooooh, Tim can't deal with a joke on the Internet.
Whatever dude. I am so bad. You got me.
Sorry, I looked up libel and there is no way in hell it's applicable here.
Nice try. Try again. Libel is tough enough to prove as it is. So basically it's ok for Casey to defraud lenders (yes, DEFRAUD) and mislead potential investors but you are concerned with a few comments made about a girl's butt?
Mel: Casey's supporters appear to be mobilized. Love it.
He wants to throw around libel claims yet he can't prove it. How is it libel to make a comment about a public figure's butt? I never said anything meaner than that and it annoys me how selective people get to make a point.
He hated my blog, fine...but it doesn't mean I won't stop exposing his guru as a fraud.
"Dolph, Just Dolph said... Shhh mel, don't tell my wife (lol).
Now a new question folks...what set Tim off like that? Did I miss something"
I was "set off" by this out of the blue comment from some ditzy chick calling herself "Mel" who threw this out of the blue insult in:
"At 7:36 PM, mel said... Yo Tim - come down off your mighty high horse. I can assure you that you are not the only one here with an advanced education.
Get stood up tonight?"
Go make your film about Casey. Be sure to get Mel's commentary, whoever "he" really is.
He seems confused about a jokey comment (he never made any note of my comments on why I didn't HATE Casey but hate what he DOES). Nooo, he wants to threaten death on me.
Good luck Tim. If I am a "libeler" you are threatening me with assault and harm. Hmmm, which one is more evil?
"At 8:31 PM, mel said... My old man is NOT my father, and he is extremely interested in these posts. Seems to be highly illegal to make death threats, timmy."
Don't argue with a troll, don't try to reason with a troll, and definitely do not start cursing out a troll. It will only make the troll stronger.
Trolls thrive on attention. The more attention you give them, the bigger and heavier they get, until they can overwhelm everyone else and drive them out. Deprived of attention, they shrivel up and fade away into nothingness.
I don't think that was Tim either. Tim has a more eloquent manner of speaking, and I have never seen him use such coarse profanity. I think the anonymous one is using Tim's name because Tim is know to be well off, and is probably hiding behind the "wealth" wall. I suspect that other posters around here will have their names hijacked as well...
Rob, any way to verify the source of thsoe comments?
Then again, Tim could be on a Friday night binge.....
Unfortunately guys, if you read the first post from our wanna be serial killer it sounds exactly like TMB. And he signs off exactly the same way. I guess we have seen some true colors tonight.
I don't post here much, mostly just a lurker however I read your site religously since the IAFF boycott and it appears to me that Casey and his few supporters have rallied tonight to sabotage this blog even going so far as to "pretend" to be other well known and liked posters.
I would love to see "REAL" Tim's reaction to these posts made in his name when he see's them.
Stand firm guys and don't acknowledge these idiots so they fade away more quickly and we can get back to the Casey "hatin'" that we all know and love.
This guy is a blithering idiot. Please casey go to jail...go now..I will fly down to Modesto and drive you there if you wish (only have 5 weeks of vacation time left but I am willing to give up a week for ya....I got relatives there anyway and would like to see them..hell I can even take the kids to disneyland)
Now as far as these redemption rights.....250 is about the going pop for them....usually lower..sometimes higher...all negotiable.
He should take it because there is basically no way in hell someone will exercise their redemption rights after a foreclosure when they are so overleveraged on the property like casey is.
Some people do it if their is enough equity in the house.
See the people that buy these are more speculators than anything else..and damn smart ones too.
You have better be on your A game to deal with after foreclosures....let alone preforeclosures.
After foreclosures your options are limited...bring cash and bring it now...not much creativity in it and no room for creativity in it.
Give us money by x x date or go pound sand.
Now as for the troll that is posting under this subject.....
You can sit there all day long with your keyboard courage and talk shit...whoopty do...do everyone a favor and stfu already.
We all know if you met dolph or ME for that matter (I'll be your huckleberry)..you would wet your damn pants and go running back home to your mom's basement as fast as you could and console yourself with 8 straight hours of WOW where your the big dog there.
Lets give you a dose of reality, your a bit** just like casey that couldnt beat his way out of a wet paper sack with both ends open.
So go back to your favorite indonesian midget porn site and spank your monkey like the rest of the MSR (metrosexual rejects) because everyone here knows the last piece of ass you had was when your finger broke through the toilet paper...and btw you shouldnt wipe so hard, that is the reason why you got hemmoroids in the first place. (was trying to work in tossed salad reference here with bloody hemmoroids but I am tired...you connect the dots people)
There is no libel. All comments directed at Casey are the result of his own public admissions and his publication of facts. He is a limited public figure through his promotion of himself through his blog, his radio broadcast's, cooperation with Sac Bee, New York magazine, USA Today, etc.
What would his damages for libel be? He injured his own reputation and business through his blog admissions. He also admitted his own criminal activity on his blog. No damages, no libel.
Threats of death and physical harm, without fear of immediate personal safety, have no defense and are considered criminal.

LOL, I think the funniest part was in the brackets!
Everyone, let's just relax for a moment. It seems very likely to me that someone (Looser Boy himself?) is trying to fool around by posting as certain people. I really don't believe that several people whose thoughts I've enjoyed reading for several months now have seriously gone off the deep end all on the same night.
A couple of days ago I predicted that if IAFF continued to face declining visits and comments, that this blog would come under fire. Sadly, that seems to likely be the case.
Dolph, I hope that you'll reconsider putting Caseyland back up, as it was an enjoyable read.
Yep Heidi, I did my homework on all this and you cannot sue for "libel" if you are posting your mistakes and fraud for the world to see.
As for Copyrights, what copyrights? His flickr account allows for FAIR USE on blogs and websites. I read their agreement. I can use it for COMMENTARY and DISCUSSION relating to CASEY'S public persona and admissions.
I've been so backlogged that it just might be easier to discuss stuff here with you guys. In a way, we can make Rob's site even more powerful with more and more content and posts.
Think about it...more hits and more ad revenue=monies for charity and possibly finding more ways to keep Casey's fraud in the forefront.
I think it was Endgame who warned me a blog could take a lot out of me. He may be right.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I don't plan to stop posting my feelings here.
Jade I don't think he owes money to the bank, I guess they could go after him for whatever they can get, the IRS however can go after him for the 1099 that he would receive. Despite the fact that htis has been discussed ad nauseum at Casey's where if he is insolvent the IRS cant do squat, I think the grey issue here is how he went about getting those loans, which is the mani reason he has not declared bankruptcy already. The lenders would nail him to the wall for that, and then not only can he not declare bankruptcy, but they will be charging him with a felony.
He may or may not. If he committed fraud he could owe the entire amount not satisfied at the foreclosure.
In a normal foreclosure, the lender would bid the entire loan balance so there would be no deficiency.
Casey's problem will be his tax liability as he will receive 1099's for the amount paid at the foreclosure sale. He will owe taxes on these amounts to the IRS.
Mel, you weren't rude. That was a bit of randomness back there!
OK so if the bank forecloses, they assume all of the liabilities on the property, correct? So it's not like a short sale where he still might owe some money or at least have the tax liability for the difference of what they are able to sell it for?
"When a bank forecloses, Casey still owes money on those mortgages, correct? Or is it all wiped away?"
It depends on how the lender elects to pursue the foreclosure action.
If they accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (what Looser Boy tried to do with Dallas at the 11th hour), then the bank takes deed of the house and essentially agrees to seek no future judgment.
If they pursue judicial foreclosure, then they can still go after the person after the foreclosure process ends. This very seldom happens because the process is fairly involved and costly. And if the debtor is insolvent (as is often the case), its uncertain whether a judgment will yield enough to cover the costs of pursuing it.
Non-judicial foreclosure is more common and probably the route that Looser Boy's creditors will take. It varies by state, but in most places a creditor cannot go after their debtor for any losses arising from the balance owed exceeding the amount recovered via the auction or REO sale. But they generally have greater ability to recover other costs, such as having to pay for insurance because a certain deadbeat fails to honor the terms of his mortgage.
This does appear to be the Casey Counteroffensive - post so many troll posts under false names to completely derail the blog.
Rather clever actually - the only area where Casey has shown any followthrough is in blog-related matters.
I don't know if Robert can look at the IP's and see if the posts from the deranged version of "Tim from Monterey Bay Area" and deranged others are coming from the usual locales. It would be amusing if they were all coming from the Sacramento area...
jeez, he's really up shit creek. I just can't understand why he didn't elect something a LITTLE simpler to get rich quick. I had an extra 1K last year so I decided to research some stocks and ended up putting it all in one that's made me an 80% return this year.
Not a fortune but it didn't require any work on my part other than a lot of reading and a few clicks of the mouse. And I don't have to worry about things like being arrested for fraud.
Okay, back on track. California os a single recourse Stte. That means either reposess or pursue for the loan amount but not both. Casey is conting on thise but there's a catch. All that protection goes out the window when there is fraud. All that crap about intending to occupy doesn't matter as his not occupying violatesd the terms. The bank will sell for what they can get and go after Casey for the costs and the balance.
@dolph..sorry to see caseyland go down but I can understand if it was taking too much time away. I am moving into a new type of R/E investing and it is having me burn the candle at both ends doing the research and leg work.
@Jade Okay I will educumacate you
There are 2 types of foreclosures.
Judicial and Trust deed foreclosure.
When a lender does a Judicial Foreclosure (takes forever in californication)..then they can come after you for a deficiency judgement IE you owe 300k the home sold for 200k..you are on the hook for 100k.
Since this foreclosure takes time and money money money and if someone is smart they can drag out legal wranglings for YEARS..they invented another type of foreclosure.
The trust deed foreclosure.
See when you sign the Mortgage (promissory/iou note) that debt instrument is secured by a trust deed.
Think of it as your car title...the person you borrowed the money is the lien holder and you secure the loan with the car.
So you have the mortgage note secured by the title(trust deed).
Now they can give it to a 3rd party (a trustee) to faciliate a much shorter time to reposess their collateral (the car)
It saves them thousands of dollars and down time.
Now what did they have to give up to have this shortened time to get their collateral...
Yep you guessed it...they forego the right for a deficiency judgement. IE you owe 300k ..the house sells at the auction for 200k.....they cannot come after you for the 100k.
Now lenders get punished for foreclosing (please research trickle down economics--I dont have enough time to explain it to you). This hampers their ability to lend money also because the Federal reserve requirements dictate many things including penalties for non performing loans, and you guessed it ...fucking with the american dream of homeownership. (go research it...too many to list here)
Now what casey did with the countrywide financial note when he signed was move the debt from their Non performing loan column to basically an unsecured promissory note column....they dont get penalized for taking a big hit on their mortgage column. Good for them, smart business move..dumb for casey..very very dumb.
Now the way casey is working it is with shortsales...when you do a shortsale then the lenders cant come after you for the difference of what they take and what you owe....
But the amount of the debt they forgive ...IE 300k you owe 200k sale...the 100k forgiven in the debt is reported to the IRS per IRS guidelines as INCOME and you get taxed on that.
I think one of the things that the Casey Counteroffensive is trying to accomplish is to force Robert to moderate the blog - one of the things killing Casey's blog is that the moderation there makes it a lot more pleasant to post here real-time, with much better discussions. Casey may be trying to force hobbles onto this blog equal to the ones he keeps on his blog.
Jade, he chose real estate because Casey thinks BIG. How many times in his life do you think Casey had 1k in his bank account that he earned honestly? I would say never. Casey thinks he is a high roller and unfortunately the banks reinforced this idea in his head by lending him money.
And most stockbrokers won't give cash back after you buy a stock.
CHJTS: Thanks for understanding. I come here more than any other site I visit.
It's tougher than I thought to keep it fresh. How many times can I say how Casey's self deluded and a fraud when I can do it here and discuss this stuff with all the critic corps.
I just appreciate all the people who were supportive of the site. Right now I have a friend who needs my consultative services and I have another guy I know who wrote a really fun book. To help them means there would be no way to keep the CUSA site going much longer anyway.
OK, so in a trust deed foreclosure, in the example cited ("you owe 300k ..the house sells at the auction for 200k.....they cannot come after you for the 100k") will they 1099 you for the 100k?
He has never been able to to work a JOB, like the rest of us, long enough to have the money to be a true investor.
It went out the door faster than it came in on totally worthless crap.
He wants to get rich quick with no education or effort on his part. There is nothing wrong with real estate as a portion of your portfolio, if it fits your goals.
Congratulations on your prudent and profitable use of your extra 1K. I'm proud of you.
Mel - my all-time favorite Casey post was when he was on his apartment-building-buying manic episode, and people were baiting him with different offers. And he said one (I think it was $3 million or so) was too small for his tastes.
I love reading books..I went and got a bunch of them from the library last night.
basically new most of the stuff until I came to The cash flow war........already read it twice in the last 2 days.......damn what a book.
@jade ....lots of people choose real estate...like any business it take dedication, perservation, and downright hard work to make a go of it. Most people are not cut out for it like the carleton sheet snake oil sellers would have people believe.
They attract lazy people like casey that think with minimal work you can escape to easy days with a cold corona in your hand.
I have known people that were heads and shoulders over casey lose (casey speak "loose") their shirts, homes, and families over real estate.
and I have known people that understand the art of the deal and make millions. (they dont talk to me anymore--I am poor j/k)
And I have known people that were dumber than casey but understood ....hirer smarter people than myself to do it...and they make it work.
Hell I am lazy..I admit it.
I have enough knowledge in my head about just about every avenue in real estate to write a damn book or 5.
But it is hard for me to stay motivated...I still work a job..I know I could make more money just doing rei full time in ANY MARKET.
But working my job is what keeps me motivated to do deals and organize what time I do have.....when I did R/E fulltime a few years back...I slept until noon and eventually did jack squat.
I realized I neeeeeeeeeeed that paying job to stay focused. I dont know call me stupid I guess.
good news is I just saved a bunch of money by switching to geico (og is their salesman of the year you know)
No you dont get 1099'ed to the IRS for foreclosures UNLESS the home sells at auction for more than what is owed on it. This money goes to You..then you get 1099'ed on it.
I'm lazy too. Well, I work 50 hours a week so I'm not TOO lazy but I'm well aware I'd rather spend my non-working hours doing things I enjoy, like riding my bike and traveling, than fixing up real estate. I'm trying to work on my own house, and that's enough to keep me pretty occupied! I have no idea how someone could do several at the same time.
Casey just has no self awareness. He doesn't realize how lazy he is. And he STILL has no idea what he'd do with his millions even if he had them. He doesn't know why he wants to be rich or how it would change his life. He just knows it would mean he didn't have to work.
But you get 1099'd if you an unsecured creditor accepts a settlement on your debt normally, right? Like if you convince your CC company to accept a lump sum of 5k to satisfy an 8k delinquent debt, you get 1099'd on the 3k, don't you?
I work 40-50 hours a week at my job also...but I start pretty damn early in the morning...so I limit myself to R/E related things to 4-6 hours per day. Because 3-4 days a week I see the kids and my afternoons are for them.
we love to go out hiking, camping, I'm not a big fisherman though--downright loathe it actually. We do all kinds of stuff.
Just in the last couple weeks I have really had to bare down and research a couple new avenues of real estate that I am not familiar with.
Its a short term 1 time charge as I like to think of it.
Just buckle down, get it done, fill in the missing information puzzle pieces in my head...then get it off my plate and out of my life.
But I like to multitask too...at work i get to listen to headphones...so guess what...i get paid to listen to R/E audio books....
Although I must say I cheated and have been listening to the green mile and dolores claybourne on audio tape this week.
Its only because I have so many damn paper books to read...
It's all dolphs fault for not being my plutonic sugar daddy.
@Jade You could tell he put a lot of thought and effort into his daily topics. I didn't know how much traffic he was getting but I figured I'd comment there so other people would know it was being visited frequently.
yeah I'm gonna go with this - I prefer to be lazy. I'll stick with stocks since I seem to be reasonably decent at picking them and I'm nowhere near organized enough to handle real estate. Casey's story scared me away from all of that.
Of course if the DC market takes a big nosedive I MIGHT try to pick up an investment property in a few years, but not right now. Prices are still way too high. It killed me buying last year but it was the right time for me.
Guys, tonight has been a wild and wacky ride. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be the one to cause all of us to face annihilation but I guess thats the way it goes. Tomorrow I will be looking into the witness protection program so if you see a poster here named mol, mul, mal etc.. just chuckle softly and keep it to yourselves.......
Do we need a Casey forum, as opposed to a blog we're commenting on? It could be set so you needed a registered username to post, you wouldn't need to worry about a Casey fan coming and hijacking your good name. I wouldn't want to steal anyone's thunder/traffic, but if people think a forum's a good idea, I've got hosting and could set one up with minimal trouble. It'd just be one of those dime-a-dozen PHP-BB ones, but it'd be easier to follow discussion threads, and everyone could have a little picture next to their name! Your thoughts?
But you get 1099'd if you an unsecured creditor accepts a settlement on your debt normally, right? Like if you convince your CC company to accept a lump sum of 5k to satisfy an 8k delinquent debt, you get 1099'd on the 3k, don't you?
real estate and CC debt are two entirely different investment vehicles with two very distinct set of regulations and oversite.
I wouldnt know about this because I only have 1 credit card and have never had to offer a lump sum payment.
Promise none of you will laugh Or I will kick your asses...
I keep it frozen in the freezer (I kid you not).....that way if I ever really want to buy something or use it for any reason..i will have to chip it out...by then the urge should have passed to use it.
I know years and years ago back in my younger days when I had to walk uphill to the mailbox in the snow both ways..i had a repo'd car.
I paid it off a few years later for 40 cents on the dollar and was never 1099'ed for the difference.
Funny story here....the car was a lemon..I didnt know jack about negotiation or nothing back then.
The salesman that sold it to me promised all kinds of stuff verbally but not in writing.
When the car went belly up...I went in to get my verbal promises fulfilled ..now keep in mind I had a very very very very very short fuse back then.
The guy said I never said that and so did his sales manager...who was there during the negotiating and heard him say all of it.
Suffice it to say....when I went back to force the issue..they renegged...I threw the keys to the car in the sales managers face and told them to take the car and shove it up their ass.
Then the salesman got huffy and grabbed my arm and tried to throw me out of the premises...
Wrong thing to do....dont ever put your hands on me (back then atleast...now I am just a big pussy---kids do that to you)..
SO I put him against the wall with my hand around his throat..the sales manager came over and grabbed me in a bear hug and pulled me off of him...well he got a couple punches in the face over that.
At this point someone called the police and I could hear them coming and that is what brang me back to reality. See there have been 3 or 4x's in my life that my vision litteraly turns to a red tint (it hasnt happened in almost 17 years now)....lets just say its not good to be on the receiving end of that red tint.
When I heard the sirens I snapped out of it and I was holding a chair over the salesmanager about to beat him with it.
Long story short....they decided not to press charges and I was told that if I ever go back there again I would be arrested for trespassing.
As you can see I hate thieves.....I come from a different time where someones handshake is what is needed to do business..and a man is only as good as his word.
Unfortunately now we live in a world where everything has to be in writing.
Thanks Jade and Legion. This won't be the end, hopefully. As long as Casey thinks he can get away with fraud, I will always come here and participate. If I rant here, then so be it.
As to Aelfiscine's post, if Rob buys a domain space to park this blog at, he can easily program in a BB to the site.
I'd hope Rob consider it and I would be more than willing to contribute to the tip jar if it helps him defer costs.
One mega alternative to Casey's site might be better than a few.
I look at Iamnotfacingforeclosure and that guys does good work as well.
As a long time troll myself , I immediately noticed the difference in Tim's log on name. Compare: Tim, from Monterey Bay area Tim from Monterey Bay Area
Notice comma and capitalization are different.This was a good name Hijack, but not a great one. Sorry anon, try again..
Lou Minatti has left a new comment on your post "My Salvation":
The Cloud Of Doom is descending quickly on Young Casey. For those who have been complaining that his soap opera has been lame lately, please stay tuned.
Dolph, L'il Casey's access controls on Flickr do not negate his copyrights.
Be very, very clear here - you have very narrow, limited rights to reproduce them. The more I read of Flickr's terms of service, the more I think they're going to get hit with a huge copyright case one of these days. I won't go into it here, it's too long a topic.
He owns his pictures until he sells or releases the copyright.
Period.
And to prove I'm not the troll - in my opinion, I think Galina is a bad lay. She looks like the type that lays there and does'nt move and complains that you're doing it wrong, mussing her hair, and you're taking too looooooooong.
And I'll bet it's been a while since Blintz Brain got even THAT much action.
Anon, check this out - this is a Tim post from the other day - it is exactly the same heading as the ones above. Down to the two dashes when he signs off. On IAFF his name is the same as you posted - for some reason here he tweaks it a little. I have no doubt we will never hear from Tim in a positive way again.
At 12:00 PM, Tim from Monterey Bay Area said... Casey's story as the basis for a sitcom...
Some of the older people here may remember "The Phil Silvers Show," often just called "Sgt. Bilko." This had a similar theme, where Bilko, who ran the motor pool on some Army base, was pulling some kind of scam. Which usually backfired on Bilko....
(And at around the same time, late 50s, was "The Life of Reilly," which had a similar theme about a slacker.)
"The Rockford Files," circa the mid-70s, often had con games and gullible fools as a theme. One of the characters, Angel, was always dreaming up some new get rich quick scheme.
And currently on t.v., "My Name is Earl" has some similar themes. (I suggested "My Name is Casey" on IAFF a few months back.)
I think the time may be ripe for a new show focusing on the Gen Y crowd, doing for them what "Friends" did for the Gen X cohort. I could speculate about what some of the themes might be, but when I last did so, some Gen Y folks here claimed I was hatin' on them.
Thanks for your concern, but read my post in the other forum.
Maybe one day they will get sued, but if I were Casey, I'd make those photos private. He has them listed as "Some rights reserved" not "All rights reserved."
Since I made ZERO money from the blog (I did not sign up for any ads) and did not sell anything on the board, it isn't any different than any other blogger doing the same stuff.
Argh...I'm done. Guess I won't be wasting anymore time on my own blog.
Seems like if Perez Hilton can steal shots of celebities and then mark them up so it looks like spooge is running down their chin or peepee down their leg, then Dolph is in smooth waters. But I guess the difference is that poppycockhead took the photos so they are his.
Dolph, you are a creative and talented guy - don't let tonite get to you.
Thanks Mel. I'm pretty exhausted from a busy week, but I've got a thick skin.
I guess some people are gonna razz me and I am fine with that. Freedom of speech and expression are beautiful things.
I see more blogs using Casey's photos than I can count. If he wanted privacy he would never have done the Creative Commons contract and they would be unavailable for the world to see (except on his blog).
Perez Hilton, TMZ, Thesuperficial, etc etc etc all post those photos with zero permission to do so and they are money making enterprises.
It appears you've got Casey and Co hanging out here for their Friday night entertainment. My guess, the following "casey lovers" have been here this evening:
Casey Galina In-Laws Nigel Duane (yes, Duane..... ) Rich Dad's Son Chris Record
I just hope they aren't false clicking to cost you your google adsense revenue.
Um, please, there's no way that was actually Tim. Anybody can make a fake Tim post, and that troll sounded nothing like Tim. I really have a hard time believing that Tim MBA would drop the c-bomb. When you respond by bashing Tim you're giving the troll exactly what he/she/babushka wants.
Hey ROb - what's with all that weirdness tonight? Is there a Casey Mspace Friends party tonight or something?
Dolph - sorry about your blog but as long as you have your "best of" saved from your site...when this whole story ends soon it might be a nice way to wrap up with key, humorous quotes.
That Tim-thing (or "Tim"-thing) was weird. If it really was him, maybe he was on a bender, cause he was unusually touchy and that wasn't his usual writing style.
Apparently Tim has a long posting record on Usenet, someone can check and see if he has done something similar in the past.
I think registering monikers isn't a bad idea, but I don't have a problem with letting Casey-supporters post here, so long as they don't steal monikers, engage in gratuitous flames, or otherwise act like jackasses.
Of course, it's not my blog, and not my place to decide.
I wish people would quit it with the meaningless threats of libel and copyright lawsuits.
There are a handful of real copyright lawyers in the United States, and all of them are up to their asses in real work. No-one has time for Casey and Cos. nonsense. Doubly so since the actual ownership of casey's 'intellectual' property is very much in doubt.
As for libel, that will never happen. There is no way that any lawyer would want to take casey as a client simply because the discovery process deep six the case - probably before any depositions even began.
I do think it is a bit crappy though that self confessed criminals want to hide behind the courts when it suits them.
Seems like if Perez Hilton can steal shots of celebities and then mark them up so it looks like spooge is running down their chin or peepee down their leg, then Dolph is in smooth waters.
Actually Perez Hiton is facing a huge lawsuit from at least one of the tabloids I believe
The laws are clear here. If you do not register your copyright, damages are capped and therefore limited. In California, a blogger has added protections of privacy and right to free speech.
What is also being overlooked is neither Casey or his blogger adversaries are making money off of their websites. Where is the damage? In order for a judge to reward damages it would need to be shown what kind of impact an infringing blog would have on his revenues. What kind of damage is being done to Casey's website from opinions backed up by his public photos? None that I can see. A judge would take this into account and it may be a colossal waste of time to litigate.
1. Dolph, sorry to see your sight go - as a guy who works more than 50 hours a week to support my family, pure Casey-hate filled commentary fills me with that warm fuzzy feeling.
About your copyrights? Don't sweat it. In my former life, I used to work for one of the world's largest publishers of consumer magazines. Part of my job was poking around and looking for copyright infringements. We never intended to pursue action against anybody because the threat of action would make most everybody quiver with fear. The bottom line is, if you've removed the offending material, whatever the reason, it's over. He has neither the time nor resources to devote to a suit the first hearing judge would toss for its frivolity.
Second, I can't believe that this site got shaken so badly by somebody who was clearly either Casey himself or somebody close to him. When somebody appears THAT out of character it should be a red flag to each of us. Anyone who says Casey is stupid doesn't have it quite right. He may be dumb, but he's not stupid. A little well-placed trolling here (and much of it was two sided to incite 3rd party response - I've seen it for years on Stock message boards) drives traffic back to you-know where. DON'T BUY INTO IT PEOPLE! We need to protect this forum. Don't get sucked in. If someone insults you, let it slide.
Dolph, Rob should definitely have first crack at setting up a forum, but figured I'd toss the idea out there. Doesn't look like the trolls managed to do much last night, although they might mark up your blog shutting down as a 'win.' Yes, you shut it down for mostly unrelated reasons, but this is Casey we're talking about; it doesn't take much for him to declare victory.
Take a deep breath. You have to be an idiot to not realize that Casey & Co. are over here trolling and flamebating. Think of it this way......IAFF is dying. It is Casey's last grasp at reality and money. Every single person he has come into contact with he has tried to screw over.
EN is now going to be the target. In Casey's deluded mind, EN is "bad", Rob Dawg is "bad".
Rob, I have told you that Casey is a dangerous person, that has no moral compass or remorse. That being said, I am sure you are smart enough to have already determined the nutjob would come after you and EN.
Please do NOT moderate or start editing this blog. It is exactly what Casey wants. Let the scumbags show themselves for what they are. As I said, anyone with half a brain can read between the lines and figure it out. The bottome line is, the boycott is working and Casey knows it. His audience has dropped significantly and he sick puppy takes it as a personal vendetta.
I say screw him, his POS wife, and anyone that defends him.
@Dolph,
sorry that one asshole made you shut down Caseyland, but it's your blog and your decision. Think about it over the weekend. My 2 cents is that it translates into a victory for the little prick. Whatever you decide, keep posting here.
@ Casey & co,
I speak only for myself here, but let me tell you something, you are a weasel, a coward, and a crook. Come Monday I am emailing the following about you and everyone of your business associates and dealings;
1. IRS 2. USPS 3. DOJ 4. State of CA 5. FTB 6. FNMA 7. The DA's from each county where you have properties. 8. Every lender you borrowed from. 9. FBI
I for one, understand fully that you will never "get it." Ypu will never admit your wrongdoings, or admit your crimes. In the short term you may think you are empowered, but make no mistake, in the long term, you will be held accountable.
Probably - the writing style looks very familiar, and he's certainly got a motive after his ass was handed to him on a plate complete with all the garnish and trimmings.
The only certainty is that it wasn't Tim from Monterey. Or me. And I'm guessing not Rob or you either.
It's only a troll fest when everyone acknowledges it as such. But hey, despite these moments where things get slightly out of control there is always the understanding that it is out of desperation that these things occur.
It's an old axiom that nobody bashes anything that isn't worthwhile. Nobody trolls untrafficked web sites.
Yeah,this is Isamu, Anon or Bill or whoever Casey and his crowd are calling themselves. They are showing their true nature now. They are thugs and bullies. They are desperate. But threatening someone actual physical harm or death will come back to haunt them.
Casey and his family were seen at Denny's this morning having the grand slam b-fast.
Casey was heard saying, "gee, I didn't know threatening someone on the internet was criminal. If I knew I would have never done it.... I mean, afterall, everyone does it..."
Rob, Do you have the IP addys of the jerkoffs who were trolling as regulars?
Yeah, I'm just collecting for now. I'm not going to expend any effort on the last desperate bleatings of a wounded animal. The usual reason for these types of pathetic bids for attention is to disrupt and distract so I'm not going to let it distract me.
I cannot believe Dolph took his blog down. It was an extremely well written blog, and I'm boggled that it came to that.
I can't believe one vacuous freak can come here and stir everyone up so easily. Toss out the c word to a few of the ladies, flame people with death-threats, act all around like a little kid, and still have an effect like this on what is a core group of very sensible people.
WTF????
I don't like my comfortable world tossed upside down, I don't like the ladies whom I sort of consider my friends being spoken to in that manner; and I certainly don't think that anyone like this troll should be getting any more attention than he/she deserves.
Who cares who it is? He/she is an asshole, who gets their rocks off stirring up tempers, and obviously has a complex and feels the need to trash people who threaten their sense of self. That's all we need to know to just discount and dismiss him.
And look at what sets this guy off! Nothing! Just random, seemingly innocent stuff and boom; threats, cursing and homocide. That's just plain weird.
Could we PLEASE just ignore the trolling? Anyone who answers the posts is inviting more of the same crap.
Yes, Casey's posts are now in the whining about consequences stage. I see no information that would enlighten anyone about facing foreclosure; in fact, I haven't seen anything like that for months.
He's just showing us the succession of consequences caused by his monumental complacency.
"Last bleatings of a dying animal" is a most appropriate description of it, Rob.
Yeah, I was praying that you guys would come onboard last night. It got pretty surreal - strange to hear about your corpse being canoodled with when you aren't even dead yet. Luckily a bunch of the team were there to provide support - hope Dolph woke up feeling fiesty today.
My apologies to all, especially Rob and Mel (whomever she may be).
I lost my temper badly last night...perhaps after one too many scotches after dinner. For about 5-10 minutes I was in such a "seeing red" rage that I barely knew what I was typing.
My "Michael Richards" time passed and I just logged off and tried to calm down.
No excuse. And because there is no excuse, and because I have been letting myself get worked up too much over Casey, his blog, this blog, etc., I am "DONE WITH ALL THINGS CASEY."
P.S. I was only involved in the matter with Mel, and one comment to Dolph, but not in any of the other matters. I wasn't following what Dolph was saying about copyrighted images, so I had nothing to say on this.
P.P.S. And, yes, this is really me. It was not Casey who was "attempting to get Rob's blog moderated." At least not insofar as I can see. Whatever Casey has wrong with him, he doesn't seem to ever really get angry. Which may mean he'll last a lot longer than I do!
So, sorry folks. This'll be my last message here. It's been a wild ride, but I was taking the "repartee" (which I dislike in general) way too seriously.
And spending my time writing about Casey is not good for me, at any level.
So, farewell.
Signing out,
--Tim, yes, the Tim Rob knows about from the magazine he says he has a copy of (to further veriy that it's indeed me)
Tim, apologies aside, what you did last night was a criminal offense far worse than anything Casey has done. My advice to you is to stop drinking and do some real soul searching before someone gets hurt or killed as a result of your rage.
That Tim is a psycho. Who gets seeing red mad over freaking crap posted on a blog and wishes people dead. That dude needs to be instituionalized if all that was for real.

If this is in fact you, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. There is no room for this sort of language here. Mel is A LOT more understanding than I am,as you made a direct threat to her and her father.
@ Rob, Casey is a sick, twisted individual. It is very telling to see how he and his cohorts act when they feel "threatened" by people telling the truth. Their method operandus is to lie, obfuscate, con, cajole, steal, and apparantley now intimidate and threaten.
@Casey & co.
Eventually, you are going to cross the wrong people. Most likely it hs already happened. You have no clue as to the resources being assembled against you, do you?
Btw...На вашем месте, я больше волновался бы о "дядях" что Вы ссуда от. Они не заботятся о законах и должном процессе.
But I am not the one who will throwing the punches - the FBI can (and will) do a far better job than I. If Tim thinks he can get away with what he did last night he is sorely mistaken. He picked the wrong beyotch to f*ck with.
Wow, I am absolutely stunned. There was no way that I would have thought that those posts last night could have come from the same Tim whom I've enjoyed reading for nearly half a year. I am just stunned and terribly, terribly disappointed. I was 100% certain that it had to be Casey or another troll posing as Tim.
Tim, I'll agree with you one last time: its probably best that you don't post here or IAFF ever again. In fact, I hope that you're not reading this. But if you are, please go get help. You are fortunate to have the time and resources to tackle anger/alcohol problems head on. Redirect the energy you've wasted on trying to help Casey out and work on your own shit.
How many times have any of us gotten mad and said things we didn't mean? Is this really enough grounds to suggest someone go to the FBI, or that they need to "go get help?" One moment of indiscretion shouldn't raise so many hackles.
Maybe it's the internet masks, but I think everyone needs to chill out and not take things so seriously. One mad post from TMBA doesn't mean he's honestly going to come around killing people.
I see what you're saying, and I agree that one person cannot be defined by one night of internet posting. At the same time, there's simply a line that you don't cross. And Tim went well past it.
And FWIW, reporting him to the FBI is farther than I would take it, personally. But if Mel feels that step is warranted, then that's her call. Anyone has the right at any time to utilize any and every resource to legally ensure his or her safety.
Wow, I thought I had a good time last night! Bar hopping with co-workers and b!tching about a terrible week sure seemed like a lot of fun at the time but WOW, it almost would have been worth it to see this happen realtime!
@ Mel, sorry you had to be on the recieving end of that tirade from TfMBA. Guess our FFF isn't the only one that needs a mental health consult!
I step away for a few days to enjoy my weekend and this place falls apart.
It's like that one time I went away for the weekend and my older son had a party @ my house in my absence and I had to come home to a shitload of hungover teenagers and a bunch of vomit everywhere.
But really, thats an insult to vaginas everywhere.

You're right. Sorry if I offended any women with this comment. But in a way it's true to the mark. (Va)G only seems to be a one-dimensional character, the high-maintenance type that is happy so long as the checks come rolling in. Is she really worthy of deeper analysis or can we keep it hateful?
Also the Tim Saga is really too much to handle! His posts were harsh as hell and an extreme example of how CS can get people to fly off the handle. Even the alpha particle physics types.
Now I'm going to have trouble forgetting the all purpose comeback "Fuck you all dead." as it rolls off the tongue too easily.
157 comments:
That's the best you could come up with? You're so lame you hypocrite. Delete this post asshole!
Pointless.
What Rob said was not lame, it was just one of what is likely to be a flood of comments on Casey's blog. (I contributed several tonight--I never signed on to a "boycott" as I value my freedom quite a bit).
Whether Rob does it or someone else does, the blogosphere is crying out for someone who merely _ECHOES_ (quotes verbatim, in its entirety) each of Casey's main topic starters and then lets the chips fall where they may, in responses.
Here, Rob quotes his own reply to part of what Casey said, not Casey's entire (and typically amazing) post.
Which is not to trash what Rob said, just to point out that what Casey said is much more of a topic starter in its sheer audacity (confusing a $250 option with a $1500 payment, bringing up again the easily-dismissed "raffle," and the looming deadline of a gavel auction of his most valuable property next Wednesday).
Sorry, Rob Dawg, but I have to call them as I see them. I expect to be adding more comments over in IAFF.
Things are getting close to the Singularity...don't blink.
--Tim
Some interesting numbers for math geeks... Let's assume Casey's debt is $2.2 million, increasing at an average rate of 30% per year. Let's also assume the U.S. National Debt is $8 trillion, increasing at 5% per year. These are just approximations, fudge the numbers as you please. Anyway, we can then calculate when Casey's Debt will outpace the National Debt with the following calculation --
(2,200,000)*(1.30)^n = (8 trillion)*(1.05)^n
Solving for n gives a value of approximately 71. Meaning that if left unchecked, Casey's Debt will be greater than the entire Nation's Debt in 71 years!! Wow!!
Thoughts? :-)
WHAT? A Rob Dawg hater?
Rob Dawg, I demand that this blog be kept negative comment free. Delete the comment asking that this post be deleted, then delete this comment, because it's negative.
I meant he would delete my comment. Keep the post up bobby boy. It makes you look like a simpleton. It wasn't even funny, certainly not worthy of its own post.
Hypocrite robb has been deleting comments like candy on the previous thread.
Damn Benoit - a financial genius and a photoshop wiz! My thought is you are one hot daddy!
I am surprised that California doesn't have a right of redemption, but after playing google monkey, it appears many states have also abolished it.
What it means is that Casey would have the right to redeem the NM property by paying the back indebtedness, plus all costs for up to either a year or six months. So this, while not exactly free money, is really really close to it, caue no way Casey will ever be able to redeem that property, even if he wanted to. $250 money for nothing, for sure plus another $1250 (and he might be able to get even more, as a poster over on IADFF points out).
I bet Casey doesn't do it. Then talks about how maybe he should or maybe he shouldn't and gets the check but sends it back and......

But this was dismissed in the first days of this blog: Casey's debt is NOT, repeat NOT, the $2.2 million that some of the early newspaper articles incorrectly stated.
if you need this explained to you, ask someone else.
Sorry to sound snarky, but I cannot believe that a member of this esteemed Rob Dawg blog is repeating such an innumerate thing.
--Tim
Tim, yes I know -- his actual current debt is closer to $600,000 ... though increasing every day due to house price depreciation.
It actually doesn't affect the calculation that significantly, due to the wildly different interest rates. If you say Casey's debt is "only" $600K, then the time to reach National Debt level rises to 77 years, rather than 71. Not much difference... :-)
P.S. Thanks Mel ;)
Yo Tim - come down off your mighty high horse. I can assure you that you are not the only one here with an advanced education.
Get stood up tonight?
Hobbes @7:29
Yes, you are exactly right. I believe this is the builder/realty company offering Casey a payment in exchange for allowing the foreclosure to proceed with no further legal drama on Casey's part. New Mexico redemption period is only 30 days. Casey couldn't come up with "one dirty penny" but this is the equivalent of paying a bad tenant to move.
And so Casey can't decide if he should take the $1500? Casey, my idiot child, there's no $1500 for you. You might get lucky and get $250 for it, but will the buyer of that Right of Redemption actually be able to gain anything of marketable, non-negative value out of this? Seems really unlikely. And thus you'd never see the $1250.
My personal take, if I had to do it without legal advice? DEAL! Take it and run. You yourself have ZERO chance of getting that property back yourself. Anything you can get now is better than zero. Heck, you might have solicited higher offers before now, but.. well, as usual, too late!
Still, $250 can pay your health insurance and gas money for a month. Or.. hey, why not instead just use it for the cell phone bill and a Jamba Juice?

It's OK. Don't threaten him back in any physical way.
Heidi, you were right about Friday night losers. Too much to drink and not enough money to afford it.
Daaamn, this turned into the thread of pointless flamewarring. The Serpent has come to Eden at last, and the hatred that was once a flawless beam directed at Casey has become a fragmented disco ball of loathing and angst, showering all around it with little spots of pissiness.

Dude I thought you were the Anonymous prick posting insults here.
If you hate my blog so much, fine you are entitled to your opinion. If I am imitating anybody, whatever you obviously miss the point of what I am doing. The commentary is good as is the comments. I don't think it's so bad, but heck whatever.
As for saying that to me, I won't dignify such language with a similar response, sir. Talk about immature.
Good day.
Hey Dolph, I am honored to be involved in a "love fest" wth you!
You know what Tim, thanks for your evil comments.
I just closed the blog. My friend is starting research on a film project that relates to the bubble and people like Casey buying this guru crap. It's quite good.
I think I'll spend time helping him outline it, point him in the right direction and post with people I like here.
So be it, thanks.
Thanks to all for coming to my blog. No big loss, it just means I can post all my thoughts here and make this site stronger for anybody who dislikes Casey and his scheming ways.
"Dude I thought you were the Anonymous prick posting insults here."
That describes just about everyone here including yourself. You've libeled just about everyone on the Casey train.
Remember saying this classic gem Dolph?
Saggy guys? C'mon. Babushka of the future, sure, but i would NOT throw her out of bed.
That ass doesn't look so bad. I've seen MUCH worse in this world (in this age of girls wearing less and less). Funny, look at the shot of her bending down at the fridge. Look at her frame, yes she is very "hippy" but the top is very petite. I like a little arse to grab onto and Galina has just enough!
You're as big a hypocrite as bobby baby.
Shhh mel, don't tell my wife (lol).
Now a new question folks...what set Tim off like that? Did I miss something (this is another reason I closed the blog...again guys I LOVE that you supported me, but I was losing track of basic things because when I do something I pour myself into it)?
It's not libel dude. It's an opinion which the first amendment allows me to have.
Do you also understand a JOKE? Ooooh, Tim can't deal with a joke on the Internet.
Whatever dude. I am so bad. You got me.
Sorry, I looked up libel and there is no way in hell it's applicable here.
Nice try. Try again. Libel is tough enough to prove as it is. So basically it's ok for Casey to defraud lenders (yes, DEFRAUD) and mislead potential investors but you are concerned with a few comments made about a girl's butt?
Wow. I read worse stuff on political blogs.
Dolph, either his skin is so thin it is transparent, or he really did get stood up tonight.
BTW - the only hypocrite I see is the guy telling people to die.
Did you know a death threat is easier to prove than comments made that might not be flattering to the intended target?
Since you seem so fascinated by me, it must mean I hit home with my truthful commentary.
Enjoy your bile.

You are seriously confused about what the First Amendment covers when you start physically threatening harm or death.
Mel: Casey's supporters appear to be mobilized. Love it.
He wants to throw around libel claims yet he can't prove it. How is it libel to make a comment about a public figure's butt? I never said anything meaner than that and it annoys me how selective people get to make a point.
He hated my blog, fine...but it doesn't mean I won't stop exposing his guru as a fraud.
"Dolph, Just Dolph said...
Shhh mel, don't tell my wife (lol).
Now a new question folks...what set Tim off like that? Did I miss something"
I was "set off" by this out of the blue comment from some ditzy chick calling herself "Mel" who threw this out of the blue insult in:
"At 7:36 PM, mel said...
Yo Tim - come down off your mighty high horse. I can assure you that you are not the only one here with an advanced education.
Get stood up tonight?"
Go make your film about Casey. Be sure to get Mel's commentary, whoever "he" really is.
I'm glad to be done with this blog.
--Tim
My old man is NOT my father, and he is extremely interested in these posts. Seems to be highly illegal to make death threats, timmy.
Thanks Heidi. Can I report the guy?
He seems confused about a jokey comment (he never made any note of my comments on why I didn't HATE Casey but hate what he DOES). Nooo, he wants to threaten death on me.
Good luck Tim. If I am a "libeler" you are threatening me with assault and harm. Hmmm, which one is more evil?
"At 8:31 PM, mel said...
My old man is NOT my father, and he is extremely interested in these posts. Seems to be highly illegal to make death threats, timmy."
Fuck you dead.
Is that clear enough?
mm I don't think that was really Tim.
Anyway, I am sure this has been answered but just for my education -
When a bank forecloses, Casey still owes money on those mortgages, correct? Or is it all wiped away?
Ok Tim...I just want an apology for being threatened with Death when I had no idea what was going on?
For some reason I thought it was the anonymous poster. But good, if you take everything so darned serious, I feel bad for you.
I doubt my friend will need Mel's commentary and he's quite good at making these films. All I am doing is helping point him in the right direction.
Just so there's no doubt, I said that.
Fuck you dead.
Clear enough?
Good luck in life to you Tim. Don't forget to take your meds.
Jade, good point. Now that I think about it, doesn't Tim usually post with a link to his blogger account (like mine)?
If that wasn't the real Tim, I apologize profusely.
As for Anonymous, you lose and good luck proving anything outside of first amendment freedom of expression to debate a fraud.
Whatever dude/dudette/Galina.
I know who you are. You have to be Galina since you are so fascinated by my comments.
LOL.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.
Don't argue with a troll, don't try to reason with a troll, and definitely do not start cursing out a troll. It will only make the troll stronger.
Trolls thrive on attention. The more attention you give them, the bigger and heavier they get, until they can overwhelm everyone else and drive them out. Deprived of attention, they shrivel up and fade away into nothingness.
DO NOT FEED THE TROLL!!
True dat.
Casey's bitch is playing with us. Look at the posting style. Let's move on.
"Good luck Tim. If I am a "libeler" you are threatening me with assault and harm. Hmmm, which one is more evil?"
You're delusional. I've not said you were a libeler.
--Tim
Ok...no more feeding delusional trolls who say one thing and then change it.
Good luck with your life. You obviously need it.
(Sprezz...I'm done with this troll!)

I simply will not put up with nyms claiming to be 'women" making such insults.
Fuck them dead.
--Tim
What happened to Dolph's blog? And what happened to this one? I used to really like this one
Dolph,
Your whole blog was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Copyright infringement, libel, false claims.
You've got assets to protect. You did the right thing by taking it down.
AT
I don't think that was Tim either. Tim has a more eloquent manner of speaking, and I have never seen him use such coarse profanity. I think the anonymous one is using Tim's name because Tim is know to be well off, and is probably hiding behind the "wealth" wall.
I suspect that other posters around here will have their names hijacked as well...
Rob, any way to verify the source of thsoe comments?
Then again, Tim could be on a Friday night binge.....
Unfortunately guys, if you read the first post from our wanna be serial killer it sounds exactly like TMB. And he signs off exactly the same way. I guess we have seen some true colors tonight.
I don't post here much, mostly just a lurker however I read your site religously since the IAFF boycott and it appears to me that Casey and his few supporters have rallied tonight to sabotage this blog even going so far as to "pretend" to be other well known and liked posters.
I would love to see "REAL" Tim's reaction to these posts made in his name when he see's them.
Stand firm guys and don't acknowledge these idiots so they fade away more quickly and we can get back to the Casey "hatin'" that we all know and love.
Sincerely,
Kerriella
well, he always was a pompous jackass then, heh
God some of the multi page comments he would make..sheesh:-)
ROFL@ the trainwrecks newest post.
This guy is a blithering idiot. Please casey go to jail...go now..I will fly down to Modesto and drive you there if you wish (only have 5 weeks of vacation time left but I am willing to give up a week for ya....I got relatives there anyway and would like to see them..hell I can even take the kids to disneyland)
Now as far as these redemption rights.....250 is about the going pop for them....usually lower..sometimes higher...all negotiable.
He should take it because there is basically no way in hell someone will exercise their redemption rights after a foreclosure when they are so overleveraged on the property like casey is.
Some people do it if their is enough equity in the house.
See the people that buy these are more speculators than anything else..and damn smart ones too.
You have better be on your A game to deal with after foreclosures....let alone preforeclosures.
After foreclosures your options are limited...bring cash and bring it now...not much creativity in it and no room for creativity in it.
Give us money by x x date or go pound sand.
Now as for the troll that is posting under this subject.....
You can sit there all day long with your keyboard courage and talk shit...whoopty do...do everyone a favor and stfu already.
We all know if you met dolph or ME for that matter (I'll be your huckleberry)..you would wet your damn pants and go running back home to your mom's basement as fast as you could and console yourself with 8 straight hours of WOW where your the big dog there.
Lets give you a dose of reality, your a bit** just like casey that couldnt beat his way out of a wet paper sack with both ends open.
So go back to your favorite indonesian midget porn site and spank your monkey like the rest of the MSR (metrosexual rejects) because everyone here knows the last piece of ass you had was when your finger broke through the toilet paper...and btw you shouldnt wipe so hard, that is the reason why you got hemmoroids in the first place. (was trying to work in tossed salad reference here with bloody hemmoroids but I am tired...you connect the dots people)
LOL CHJTS
There is no libel. All comments directed at Casey are the result of his own public admissions and his publication of facts. He is a limited public figure through his promotion of himself through his blog, his radio broadcast's, cooperation with Sac Bee, New York magazine, USA Today, etc.
What would his damages for libel be? He injured his own reputation and business through his blog admissions. He also admitted his own criminal activity on his blog.
No damages, no libel.
Threats of death and physical harm, without fear of immediate personal safety, have no defense and are considered criminal.

Can we forget about anon for a minute and educate Jade?

Um, what the hell?
Everyone, let's just relax for a moment. It seems very likely to me that someone (Looser Boy himself?) is trying to fool around by posting as certain people. I really don't believe that several people whose thoughts I've enjoyed reading for several months now have seriously gone off the deep end all on the same night.
A couple of days ago I predicted that if IAFF continued to face declining visits and comments, that this blog would come under fire. Sadly, that seems to likely be the case.
Dolph, I hope that you'll reconsider putting Caseyland back up, as it was an enjoyable read.
-walt526 (the real one)
Yep Heidi, I did my homework on all this and you cannot sue for "libel" if you are posting your mistakes and fraud for the world to see.
As for Copyrights, what copyrights? His flickr account allows for FAIR USE on blogs and websites. I read their agreement. I can use it for COMMENTARY and DISCUSSION relating to CASEY'S public persona and admissions.
Anonymous would do well to research that.
Poor Rob Dawg must have gone out to dinner tonight - while there is a lunatic lurking in his playground!
Yeah Dolph, I enjoyed Caseylandusa as well.
Thanks Walt. I may, I may not.
I've been so backlogged that it just might be easier to discuss stuff here with you guys. In a way, we can make Rob's site even more powerful with more and more content and posts.
Think about it...more hits and more ad revenue=monies for charity and possibly finding more ways to keep Casey's fraud in the forefront.
I think it was Endgame who warned me a blog could take a lot out of me. He may be right.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I don't plan to stop posting my feelings here.
Dolph honey,
It's your wife. Stop spending so much time on the interwebs and pay attention to me.
I'm glad you quit your blog. It took too much time for you to copy that poor boy's stuff. Leave it alone.
Come back to me.
Jade
I don't think he owes money to the bank, I guess they could go after him for whatever they can get, the IRS however can go after him for the 1099 that he would receive. Despite the fact that htis has been discussed ad nauseum at Casey's where if he is insolvent the IRS cant do squat, I think the grey issue here is how he went about getting those loans, which is the mani reason he has not declared bankruptcy already. The lenders would nail him to the wall for that, and then not only can he not declare bankruptcy, but they will be charging him with a felony.
Is the troll Galina? Maybe she has a rag on. Going by the rear-view photos Casey has belatedly tried to hide, it would have to be a mighty big rag...
SEE THE WIDE-LOAD PIC HERE!
Where's Stephanie???????????
Dammit, we need her left hook insight right now
Jade, I'm sorry for being rude - kinda hard to think about finance when you have a thorn in your ass.
Me too, sorry to everybody for feeding the troll.
Jade
He may or may not. If he committed fraud he could owe the entire amount not satisfied at the foreclosure.
In a normal foreclosure, the lender would bid the entire loan balance so there would be no deficiency.
Casey's problem will be his tax liability as he will receive 1099's for the amount paid at the foreclosure sale. He will owe taxes on these amounts to the IRS.
That's pretty general but I hope it helps.
Mel, you weren't rude. That was a bit of randomness back there!
OK so if the bank forecloses, they assume all of the liabilities on the property, correct? So it's not like a short sale where he still might owe some money or at least have the tax liability for the difference of what they are able to sell it for?
"When a bank forecloses, Casey still owes money on those mortgages, correct? Or is it all wiped away?"
It depends on how the lender elects to pursue the foreclosure action.
If they accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (what Looser Boy tried to do with Dallas at the 11th hour), then the bank takes deed of the house and essentially agrees to seek no future judgment.
If they pursue judicial foreclosure, then they can still go after the person after the foreclosure process ends. This very seldom happens because the process is fairly involved and costly. And if the debtor is insolvent (as is often the case), its uncertain whether a judgment will yield enough to cover the costs of pursuing it.
Non-judicial foreclosure is more common and probably the route that Looser Boy's creditors will take. It varies by state, but in most places a creditor cannot go after their debtor for any losses arising from the balance owed exceeding the amount recovered via the auction or REO sale. But they generally have greater ability to recover other costs, such as having to pay for insurance because a certain deadbeat fails to honor the terms of his mortgage.
-walt526
Heidi - just saw your second reply. That makes sense - thanks for the answer!
This does appear to be the Casey Counteroffensive - post so many troll posts under false names to completely derail the blog.
Rather clever actually - the only area where Casey has shown any followthrough is in blog-related matters.
I don't know if Robert can look at the IP's and see if the posts from the deranged version of "Tim from Monterey Bay Area" and deranged others are coming from the usual locales. It would be amusing if they were all coming from the Sacramento area...
jeez, he's really up shit creek. I just can't understand why he didn't elect something a LITTLE simpler to get rich quick. I had an extra 1K last year so I decided to research some stocks and ended up putting it all in one that's made me an 80% return this year.
Not a fortune but it didn't require any work on my part other than a lot of reading and a few clicks of the mouse. And I don't have to worry about things like being arrested for fraud.
Why on earth did he choose real estate?
Okay, back on track. California os a single recourse Stte. That means either reposess or pursue for the loan amount but not both. Casey is conting on thise but there's a catch. All that protection goes out the window when there is fraud. All that crap about intending to occupy doesn't matter as his not occupying violatesd the terms. The bank will sell for what they can get and go after Casey for the costs and the balance.
@dolph..sorry to see caseyland go down but I can understand if it was taking too much time away. I am moving into a new type of R/E investing and it is having me burn the candle at both ends doing the research and leg work.
@Jade Okay I will educumacate you
There are 2 types of foreclosures.
Judicial and Trust deed foreclosure.
When a lender does a Judicial Foreclosure (takes forever in californication)..then they can come after you for a deficiency judgement IE you owe 300k the home sold for 200k..you are on the hook for 100k.
Since this foreclosure takes time and money money money and if someone is smart they can drag out legal wranglings for YEARS..they invented another type of foreclosure.
The trust deed foreclosure.
See when you sign the Mortgage (promissory/iou note) that debt instrument is secured by a trust deed.
Think of it as your car title...the person you borrowed the money is the lien holder and you secure the loan with the car.
So you have the mortgage note secured by the title(trust deed).
Now they can give it to a 3rd party (a trustee) to faciliate a much shorter time to reposess their collateral (the car)
It saves them thousands of dollars and down time.
Now what did they have to give up to have this shortened time to get their collateral...
Yep you guessed it...they forego the right for a deficiency judgement. IE you owe 300k ..the house sells at the auction for 200k.....they cannot come after you for the 100k.
Now lenders get punished for foreclosing (please research trickle down economics--I dont have enough time to explain it to you). This hampers their ability to lend money also because the Federal reserve requirements dictate many things including penalties for non performing loans, and you guessed it ...fucking with the american dream of homeownership. (go research it...too many to list here)
Now what casey did with the countrywide financial note when he signed was move the debt from their Non performing loan column to basically an unsecured promissory note column....they dont get penalized for taking a big hit on their mortgage column. Good for them, smart business move..dumb for casey..very very dumb.
Now the way casey is working it is with shortsales...when you do a shortsale then the lenders cant come after you for the difference of what they take and what you owe....
But the amount of the debt they forgive ...IE 300k you owe 200k sale...the 100k forgiven in the debt is reported to the IRS per IRS guidelines as INCOME and you get taxed on that.
Uncle sam has to have his hand in every pie.
Hope this helps ya.
Anonoymous 9:14 again-
I think one of the things that the Casey Counteroffensive is trying to accomplish is to force Robert to moderate the blog - one of the things killing Casey's blog is that the moderation there makes it a lot more pleasant to post here real-time, with much better discussions. Casey may be trying to force hobbles onto this blog equal to the ones he keeps on his blog.
Got any phone calls from CashCall yet, Casey?
Jade, he chose real estate because Casey thinks BIG. How many times in his life do you think Casey had 1k in his bank account that he earned honestly? I would say never. Casey thinks he is a high roller and unfortunately the banks reinforced this idea in his head by lending him money.
And most stockbrokers won't give cash back after you buy a stock.
CHJTS: Thanks for understanding. I come here more than any other site I visit.
It's tougher than I thought to keep it fresh. How many times can I say how Casey's self deluded and a fraud when I can do it here and discuss this stuff with all the critic corps.
I just appreciate all the people who were supportive of the site. Right now I have a friend who needs my consultative services and I have another guy I know who wrote a really fun book. To help them means there would be no way to keep the CUSA site going much longer anyway.
OK, so in a trust deed foreclosure, in the example cited ("you owe 300k ..the house sells at the auction for 200k.....they cannot come after you for the 100k") will they 1099 you for the 100k?
Jade
He has never been able to to work a JOB, like the rest of us, long enough to have the money to be a true investor.
It went out the door faster than it came in on totally worthless crap.
He wants to get rich quick with no education or effort on his part. There is nothing wrong with real estate as a portion of your portfolio, if it fits your goals.
Congratulations on your prudent and profitable use of your extra 1K. I'm proud of you.
LOL, Mel. Remember he made 50K...ooops....35K one year.
Mel - my all-time favorite Casey post was when he was on his apartment-building-buying manic episode, and people were baiting him with different offers. And he said one (I think it was $3 million or so) was too small for his tastes.
Heidi - that's 800 passive, SWEET dollars! Think of all the Jamba Juice!
Regarding the countrywide note - I thought it only applies to a short sale? Will he still have to honor it when they foreclose?
Jade - I was just thinking the same thought!!!! "Too small for my tastebuds" or something equally inane.
Or how about when he actually asked Julian and the trailer park boys to send him the figures on the trailer park???? What a sap.
And Dolph, tho he may have made 50k, oops 35k, you know it burned a hole straight thru his pocket.
JJ every morning and Dennys for dinner - sweet!
@dolsph
I love reading books..I went and got a bunch of them from the library last night.
basically new most of the stuff until I came to The cash flow war........already read it twice in the last 2 days.......damn what a book.
@jade ....lots of people choose real estate...like any business it take dedication, perservation, and downright hard work to make a go of it. Most people are not cut out for it like the carleton sheet snake oil sellers would have people believe.
They attract lazy people like casey that think with minimal work you can escape to easy days with a cold corona in your hand.
I have known people that were heads and shoulders over casey lose (casey speak "loose") their shirts, homes, and families over real estate.
and I have known people that understand the art of the deal and make millions. (they dont talk to me anymore--I am poor j/k)
And I have known people that were dumber than casey but understood ....hirer smarter people than myself to do it...and they make it work.
Hell I am lazy..I admit it.
I have enough knowledge in my head about just about every avenue in real estate to write a damn book or 5.
But it is hard for me to stay motivated...I still work a job..I know I could make more money just doing rei full time in ANY MARKET.
But working my job is what keeps me motivated to do deals and organize what time I do have.....when I did R/E fulltime a few years back...I slept until noon and eventually did jack squat.
I realized I neeeeeeeeeeed that paying job to stay focused. I dont know call me stupid I guess.
good news is I just saved a bunch of money by switching to geico (og is their salesman of the year you know)
@jade
No you dont get 1099'ed to the IRS for foreclosures UNLESS the home sells at auction for more than what is owed on it. This money goes to You..then you get 1099'ed on it.
The 1099 you are thinking of is for Shortsales.
@chjts
I'm lazy too. Well, I work 50 hours a week so I'm not TOO lazy but I'm well aware I'd rather spend my non-working hours doing things I enjoy, like riding my bike and traveling, than fixing up real estate. I'm trying to work on my own house, and that's enough to keep me pretty occupied! I have no idea how someone could do several at the same time.
Casey just has no self awareness. He doesn't realize how lazy he is. And he STILL has no idea what he'd do with his millions even if he had them. He doesn't know why he wants to be rich or how it would change his life. He just knows it would mean he didn't have to work.
@chjts -
But you get 1099'd if you an unsecured creditor accepts a settlement on your debt normally, right? Like if you convince your CC company to accept a lump sum of 5k to satisfy an 8k delinquent debt, you get 1099'd on the 3k, don't you?
Jade -
BINGO!!!!
@ 9:28 PM, Jade said...
“Regarding the countrywide note - I thought it only applies to a short sale? Will he still have to honor it when they foreclose?”
Well as Isamu AKA Screech AKA Rich Dad’s Son AKA Fuck You Dead AKA Trolling Everybody Name’s says:
Casey doesn’t make stuff up, he just never tells the truth. So who knows?
Sigh,
Gonna miss your site buddy:-) It was hilarious.
@Dolph I meant, heh forgot to say who's site.
dolph's site was funny. Only I never posted there because Dolph summed up all my funny thoughts for me :-)
jade
I love to do those things too.
I work 40-50 hours a week at my job also...but I start pretty damn early in the morning...so I limit myself to R/E related things to 4-6 hours per day. Because 3-4 days a week I see the kids and my afternoons are for them.
we love to go out hiking, camping, I'm not a big fisherman though--downright loathe it actually. We do all kinds of stuff.
Just in the last couple weeks I have really had to bare down and research a couple new avenues of real estate that I am not familiar with.
Its a short term 1 time charge as I like to think of it.
Just buckle down, get it done, fill in the missing information puzzle pieces in my head...then get it off my plate and out of my life.
But I like to multitask too...at work i get to listen to headphones...so guess what...i get paid to listen to R/E audio books....
Although I must say I cheated and have been listening to the green mile and dolores claybourne on audio tape this week.
Its only because I have so many damn paper books to read...
It's all dolphs fault for not being my plutonic sugar daddy.
@Jade
You could tell he put a lot of thought and effort into his daily topics. I didn't know how much traffic he was getting but I figured I'd comment there so other people would know it was being visited frequently.
Case in point, Nigel and his 0 comment sections.
yeah I'm gonna go with this - I prefer to be lazy. I'll stick with stocks since I seem to be reasonably decent at picking them and I'm nowhere near organized enough to handle real estate. Casey's story scared me away from all of that.
Of course if the DC market takes a big nosedive I MIGHT try to pick up an investment property in a few years, but not right now. Prices are still way too high. It killed me buying last year but it was the right time for me.
Guys, tonight has been a wild and wacky ride. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be the one to cause all of us to face annihilation but I guess thats the way it goes. Tomorrow I will be looking into the witness protection program so if you see a poster here named mol, mul, mal etc.. just chuckle softly and keep it to yourselves.......
Good night friends.
Do we need a Casey forum, as opposed to a blog we're commenting on? It could be set so you needed a registered username to post, you wouldn't need to worry about a Casey fan coming and hijacking your good name. I wouldn't want to steal anyone's thunder/traffic, but if people think a forum's a good idea, I've got hosting and could set one up with minimal trouble. It'd just be one of those dime-a-dozen PHP-BB ones, but it'd be easier to follow discussion threads, and everyone could have a little picture next to their name! Your thoughts?
@chjts -
But you get 1099'd if you an unsecured creditor accepts a settlement on your debt normally, right? Like if you convince your CC company to accept a lump sum of 5k to satisfy an 8k delinquent debt, you get 1099'd on the 3k, don't you?
real estate and CC debt are two entirely different investment vehicles with two very distinct set of regulations and oversite.
I wouldnt know about this because I only have 1 credit card and have never had to offer a lump sum payment.
Promise none of you will laugh Or I will kick your asses...
I keep it frozen in the freezer (I kid you not).....that way if I ever really want to buy something or use it for any reason..i will have to chip it out...by then the urge should have passed to use it.
I know years and years ago back in my younger days when I had to walk uphill to the mailbox in the snow both ways..i had a repo'd car.
I paid it off a few years later for 40 cents on the dollar and was never 1099'ed for the difference.
Funny story here....the car was a lemon..I didnt know jack about negotiation or nothing back then.
The salesman that sold it to me promised all kinds of stuff verbally but not in writing.
When the car went belly up...I went in to get my verbal promises fulfilled ..now keep in mind I had a very very very very very short fuse back then.
The guy said I never said that and so did his sales manager...who was there during the negotiating and heard him say all of it.
Suffice it to say....when I went back to force the issue..they renegged...I threw the keys to the car in the sales managers face and told them to take the car and shove it up their ass.
Then the salesman got huffy and grabbed my arm and tried to throw me out of the premises...
Wrong thing to do....dont ever put your hands on me (back then atleast...now I am just a big pussy---kids do that to you)..
SO I put him against the wall with my hand around his throat..the sales manager came over and grabbed me in a bear hug and pulled me off of him...well he got a couple punches in the face over that.
At this point someone called the police and I could hear them coming and that is what brang me back to reality. See there have been 3 or 4x's in my life that my vision litteraly turns to a red tint (it hasnt happened in almost 17 years now)....lets just say its not good to be on the receiving end of that red tint.
When I heard the sirens I snapped out of it and I was holding a chair over the salesmanager about to beat him with it.
Long story short....they decided not to press charges and I was told that if I ever go back there again I would be arrested for trespassing.
As you can see I hate thieves.....I come from a different time where someones handshake is what is needed to do business..and a man is only as good as his word.
Unfortunately now we live in a world where everything has to be in writing.
Thanks Jade and Legion. This won't be the end, hopefully. As long as Casey thinks he can get away with fraud, I will always come here and participate. If I rant here, then so be it.
As to Aelfiscine's post, if Rob buys a domain space to park this blog at, he can easily program in a BB to the site.
I'd hope Rob consider it and I would be more than willing to contribute to the tip jar if it helps him defer costs.
One mega alternative to Casey's site might be better than a few.
I look at Iamnotfacingforeclosure and that guys does good work as well.
Re: Tim, from Monterey Bay area
As a long time troll myself , I immediately noticed the difference in Tim's log on name.

Notice comma and capitalization are different.This was a good name Hijack, but not a great one.
Sorry anon, try again..
Lou Minatti has left a new comment on your post "My Salvation":
The Cloud Of Doom is descending quickly on Young Casey. For those who have been complaining that his soap opera has been lame lately, please stay tuned.
Sorry, slipped when clicking.
Dolph, L'il Casey's access controls on Flickr do not negate his copyrights.
Be very, very clear here - you have very narrow, limited rights to reproduce them. The more I read of Flickr's terms of service, the more I think they're going to get hit with a huge copyright case one of these days. I won't go into it here, it's too long a topic.
He owns his pictures until he sells or releases the copyright.
Period.
And to prove I'm not the troll - in my opinion, I think Galina is a bad lay. She looks like the type that lays there and does'nt move and complains that you're doing it wrong, mussing her hair, and you're taking too looooooooong.
And I'll bet it's been a while since Blintz Brain got even THAT much action.
@chjts:
I'm not laughing. Everytime I save $500 I put it in a CD so I won't have a chance to spend it. Not the best idea but I know myself well.
Too wound up to sleep...
Anon, check this out - this is a Tim post from the other day - it is exactly the same heading as the ones above. Down to the two dashes when he signs off. On IAFF his name is the same as you posted - for some reason here he tweaks it a little. I have no doubt we will never hear from Tim in a positive way again.
At 12:00 PM, Tim from Monterey Bay Area said...
Casey's story as the basis for a sitcom...
Some of the older people here may remember "The Phil Silvers Show," often just called "Sgt. Bilko." This had a similar theme, where Bilko, who ran the motor pool on some Army base, was pulling some kind of scam. Which usually backfired on Bilko....
(And at around the same time, late 50s, was "The Life of Reilly," which had a similar theme about a slacker.)
"The Rockford Files," circa the mid-70s, often had con games and gullible fools as a theme. One of the characters, Angel, was always dreaming up some new get rich quick scheme.
And currently on t.v., "My Name is Earl" has some similar themes. (I suggested "My Name is Casey" on IAFF a few months back.)
I think the time may be ripe for a new show focusing on the Gen Y crowd, doing for them what "Friends" did for the Gen X cohort. I could speculate about what some of the themes might be, but when I last did so, some Gen Y folks here claimed I was hatin' on them.
--Tim
Anon...the blog is gone, end of story.
Thanks for your concern, but read my post in the other forum.
Maybe one day they will get sued, but if I were Casey, I'd make those photos private. He has them listed as "Some rights reserved" not "All rights reserved."
Since I made ZERO money from the blog (I did not sign up for any ads) and did not sell anything on the board, it isn't any different than any other blogger doing the same stuff.
Argh...I'm done. Guess I won't be wasting anymore time on my own blog.
I don't know what's going on tonight with the readers/posters... but we seem to have a lot of hate.
What, did everyone get caught up with the death of Anna Nicole and the fighting between the guys claiming to be her baby's daddy?
In reality - it appears Casey, Galina and others have been trolling here tonight, saying nasty things and making it very negative.
I think Sputnik needs to head over to Casey's and poop in some shoes. I can provide extra smelly fishy treats so Sputnik's poop is nice and nasty.
Seems like if Perez Hilton can steal shots of celebities and then mark them up so it looks like spooge is running down their chin or peepee down their leg, then Dolph is in smooth waters. But I guess the difference is that poppycockhead took the photos so they are his.
Dolph, you are a creative and talented guy - don't let tonite get to you.
Thanks Mel. I'm pretty exhausted from a busy week, but I've got a thick skin.
I guess some people are gonna razz me and I am fine with that. Freedom of speech and expression are beautiful things.
I see more blogs using Casey's photos than I can count. If he wanted privacy he would never have done the Creative Commons contract and they would be unavailable for the world to see (except on his blog).
Perez Hilton, TMZ, Thesuperficial, etc etc etc all post those photos with zero permission to do so and they are money making enterprises.
Rob
It appears you've got Casey and Co hanging out here for their Friday night entertainment. My guess, the following "casey lovers" have been here this evening:
Casey
Galina
In-Laws
Nigel
Duane (yes, Duane..... )
Rich Dad's Son
Chris Record
I just hope they aren't false clicking to cost you your google adsense revenue.
Um, please, there's no way that was actually Tim. Anybody can make a fake Tim post, and that troll sounded nothing like Tim. I really have a hard time believing that Tim MBA would drop the c-bomb. When you respond by bashing Tim you're giving the troll exactly what he/she/babushka wants.
-- Timm
Hey ROb - what's with all that weirdness tonight? Is there a Casey Mspace Friends party tonight or something?
Dolph - sorry about your blog but as long as you have your "best of" saved from your site...when this whole story ends soon it might be a nice way to wrap up with key, humorous quotes.
Wheeeeee..... I'm Tim.
That Tim-thing (or "Tim"-thing) was weird. If it really was him, maybe he was on a bender, cause he was unusually touchy and that wasn't his usual writing style.
Apparently Tim has a long posting record on Usenet, someone can check and see if he has done something similar in the past.
I think registering monikers isn't a bad idea, but I don't have a problem with letting Casey-supporters post here, so long as they don't steal monikers, engage in gratuitous flames, or otherwise act like jackasses.
Of course, it's not my blog, and not my place to decide.
My last post seems to have gotten lost, so I'm reposting.
I'm not Tim, just somebody who wanted to see if it's possible to post using someone else's name. Apparently it is.
Long time lurker, first (second, third?) time poster.
I will slink back anonymously into the night now.

I've got a new name for Galina...
we call her Vagilina (pronounced Va-ja-li-na)...
It's all good, right?
-Big Cheese
I wish people would quit it with the meaningless threats of libel and copyright lawsuits.
There are a handful of real copyright lawyers in the United States, and all of them are up to their asses in real work. No-one has time for Casey and Cos. nonsense. Doubly so since the actual ownership of casey's 'intellectual' property is very much in doubt.
As for libel, that will never happen. There is no way that any lawyer would want to take casey as a client simply because the discovery process deep six the case - probably before any depositions even began.
I do think it is a bit crappy though that self confessed criminals want to hide behind the courts when it suits them.
Seems like if Perez Hilton can steal shots of celebities and then mark them up so it looks like spooge is running down their chin or peepee down their leg, then Dolph is in smooth waters.
Actually Perez Hiton is facing a huge lawsuit from at least one of the tabloids I believe
The laws are clear here. If you do not register your copyright, damages are capped and therefore limited. In California, a blogger has added protections of privacy and right to free speech.
What is also being overlooked is neither Casey or his blogger adversaries are making money off of their websites. Where is the damage? In order for a judge to reward damages it would need to be shown what kind of impact an infringing blog would have on his revenues. What kind of damage is being done to Casey's website from opinions backed up by his public photos? None that I can see. A judge would take this into account and it may be a colossal waste of time to litigate.
Has anybody noticed that IAFF is down? Anybody have any information about that?
Couple of points:
1. Dolph, sorry to see your sight go - as a guy who works more than 50 hours a week to support my family, pure Casey-hate filled commentary fills me with that warm fuzzy feeling.
About your copyrights? Don't sweat it. In my former life, I used to work for one of the world's largest publishers of consumer magazines. Part of my job was poking around and looking for copyright infringements. We never intended to pursue action against anybody because the threat of action would make most everybody quiver with fear. The bottom line is, if you've removed the offending material, whatever the reason, it's over. He has neither the time nor resources to devote to a suit the first hearing judge would toss for its frivolity.
Second, I can't believe that this site got shaken so badly by somebody who was clearly either Casey himself or somebody close to him. When somebody appears THAT out of character it should be a red flag to each of us. Anyone who says Casey is stupid doesn't have it quite right. He may be dumb, but he's not stupid. A little well-placed trolling here (and much of it was two sided to incite 3rd party response - I've seen it for years on Stock message boards) drives traffic back to you-know where. DON'T BUY INTO IT PEOPLE! We need to protect this forum. Don't get sucked in. If someone insults you, let it slide.
IAFF site seems to still be up, just the content that is moribund. Thanks for not feeding the troll(s).
Dolph, Rob should definitely have first crack at setting up a forum, but figured I'd toss the idea out there. Doesn't look like the trolls managed to do much last night, although they might mark up your blog shutting down as a 'win.' Yes, you shut it down for mostly unrelated reasons, but this is Casey we're talking about; it doesn't take much for him to declare victory.
People,
Take a deep breath. You have to be an idiot to not realize that Casey & Co. are over here trolling and flamebating. Think of it this way......IAFF is dying. It is Casey's last grasp at reality and money. Every single person he has come into contact with he has tried to screw over.
EN is now going to be the target. In Casey's deluded mind, EN is "bad", Rob Dawg is "bad".
Rob, I have told you that Casey is a dangerous person, that has no moral compass or remorse. That being said, I am sure you are smart enough to have already determined the nutjob would come after you and EN.
Please do NOT moderate or start editing this blog. It is exactly what Casey wants. Let the scumbags show themselves for what they are. As I said, anyone with half a brain can read between the lines and figure it out. The bottome line is, the boycott is working and Casey knows it. His audience has dropped significantly and he sick puppy takes it as a personal vendetta.
I say screw him, his POS wife, and anyone that defends him.
@Dolph,
sorry that one asshole made you shut down Caseyland, but it's your blog and your decision. Think about it over the weekend. My 2 cents is that it translates into a victory for the little prick. Whatever you decide, keep posting here.
@ Casey & co,
I speak only for myself here, but let me tell you something, you are a weasel, a coward, and a crook. Come Monday I am emailing the following about you and everyone of your business associates and dealings;
1. IRS
2. USPS
3. DOJ
4. State of CA
5. FTB
6. FNMA
7. The DA's from each county where you have properties.
8. Every lender you borrowed from.
9. FBI
I for one, understand fully that you will never "get it." Ypu will never admit your wrongdoings, or admit your crimes. In the short term you may think you are empowered, but make no mistake, in the long term, you will be held accountable.
Jesus Christ, mel, it looks like I have to pass the 'nastiest insult' torch onto you. I go away and come back to a freakin' troll-athon.
What an ass. Is this Isamu again?
Must be a pretty sad soul to behave like a twelve year old.
What an ass. Is this Isamu again?
Probably - the writing style looks very familiar, and he's certainly got a motive after his ass was handed to him on a plate complete with all the garnish and trimmings.
The only certainty is that it wasn't Tim from Monterey. Or me. And I'm guessing not Rob or you either.
It's only a troll fest when everyone acknowledges it as such. But hey, despite these moments where things get slightly out of control there is always the understanding that it is out of desperation that these things occur.
It's an old axiom that nobody bashes anything that isn't worthwhile. Nobody trolls untrafficked web sites.
Yeah,this is Isamu, Anon or Bill or whoever Casey and his crowd are calling themselves. They are showing their true nature now. They are thugs and bullies. They are desperate. But threatening someone actual physical harm or death will come back to haunt them.
@Big Cheese
You could call her Vagalina.
But really, thats an insult to vaginas everywhere.
:)
Casey and his family were seen at Denny's this morning having the grand slam b-fast.
Casey was heard saying, "gee, I didn't know threatening someone on the internet was criminal. If I knew I would have never done it.... I mean, afterall, everyone does it..."
Rob, Do you have the IP addys of the jerkoffs who were trolling as regulars?
Anyone else think Casey's posts are getting a little bit "which hand should I wipe my ass with?"
Rob, Do you have the IP addys of the jerkoffs who were trolling as regulars?
Yeah, I'm just collecting for now. I'm not going to expend any effort on the last desperate bleatings of a wounded animal. The usual reason for these types of pathetic bids for attention is to disrupt and distract so I'm not going to let it distract me.
I cannot believe Dolph took his blog down. It was an extremely well written blog, and I'm boggled that it came to that.
I can't believe one vacuous freak can come here and stir everyone up so easily. Toss out the c word to a few of the ladies, flame people with death-threats, act all around like a little kid, and still have an effect like this on what is a core group of very sensible people.
WTF????
I don't like my comfortable world tossed upside down, I don't like the ladies whom I sort of consider my friends being spoken to in that manner; and I certainly don't think that anyone like this troll should be getting any more attention than he/she deserves.
Who cares who it is? He/she is an asshole, who gets their rocks off stirring up tempers, and obviously has a complex and feels the need to trash people who threaten their sense of self. That's all we need to know to just discount and dismiss him.
And look at what sets this guy off! Nothing! Just random, seemingly innocent stuff and boom; threats, cursing and homocide. That's just plain weird.
Could we PLEASE just ignore the trolling? Anyone who answers the posts is inviting more of the same crap.
Please??
I'm sorry you had to endure that Mel. :(
And latest Anon..
Yes, Casey's posts are now in the whining about consequences stage. I see no information that would enlighten anyone about facing foreclosure; in fact, I haven't seen anything like that for months.
He's just showing us the succession of consequences caused by his monumental complacency.
"Last bleatings of a dying animal" is a most appropriate description of it, Rob.
Wow, a guy steps out for one evening and the whole place goes straight to hell.
@Ogg
Ditto.
Ogg and Stephanie,
Yeah, I was praying that you guys would come onboard last night. It got pretty surreal - strange to hear about your corpse being canoodled with when you aren't even dead yet. Luckily a bunch of the team were there to provide support - hope Dolph woke up feeling fiesty today.
My apologies to all, especially Rob and Mel (whomever she may be).
I lost my temper badly last night...perhaps after one too many scotches after dinner. For about 5-10 minutes I was in such a "seeing red" rage that I barely knew what I was typing.
My "Michael Richards" time passed and I just logged off and tried to calm down.
No excuse. And because there is no excuse, and because I have been letting myself get worked up too much over Casey, his blog, this blog, etc., I am "DONE WITH ALL THINGS CASEY."
P.S. I was only involved in the matter with Mel, and one comment to Dolph, but not in any of the other matters. I wasn't following what Dolph was saying about copyrighted images, so I had nothing to say on this.
P.P.S. And, yes, this is really me. It was not Casey who was "attempting to get Rob's blog moderated." At least not insofar as I can see. Whatever Casey has wrong with him, he doesn't seem to ever really get angry. Which may mean he'll last a lot longer than I do!
So, sorry folks. This'll be my last message here. It's been a wild ride, but I was taking the "repartee" (which I dislike in general) way too seriously.
And spending my time writing about Casey is not good for me, at any level.
So, farewell.
Signing out,
--Tim, yes, the Tim Rob knows about from the magazine he says he has a copy of (to further veriy that it's indeed me)
Again, sorry.
No offense, Tim, but you might want to kick the scotch. That side of you aint pretty.
Tim, apologies aside, what you did last night was a criminal offense far worse than anything Casey has done. My advice to you is to stop drinking and do some real soul searching before someone gets hurt or killed as a result of your rage.
@mel
At least you can know you handled yourself quite well during the whole thing.
That Tim is a psycho. Who gets seeing red mad over freaking crap posted on a blog and wishes people dead. That dude needs to be instituionalized if all that was for real.
@TFMBA
Dude,
You were WAY over the line last night.
Was this really you?

I'm Tim from Monterey Bay, which is who Mel gratuitously insulted, and I say fuck her corpse dead. And fuck her "cop father" dead.
Fuck you all dead for your smarmy, snarky, little community of would-be insulters.

But enjoy your little love-fest with "Mel."
Fuck you dead.

If this is in fact you, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. There is no room for this sort of language here. Mel is A LOT more understanding than I am,as you made a direct threat to her and her father.
@ Rob, Casey is a sick, twisted individual. It is very telling to see how he and his cohorts act when they feel "threatened" by people telling the truth. Their method operandus is to lie, obfuscate, con, cajole, steal, and apparantley now intimidate and threaten.
@Casey & co.
Eventually, you are going to cross the wrong people. Most likely it hs already happened. You have no clue as to the resources being assembled against you, do you?
Btw...На вашем месте, я больше волновался бы о "дядях" что Вы ссуда от. Они не заботятся о законах и должном процессе.
Mr Bubbles - no understanding here.
But I am not the one who will throwing the punches - the FBI can (and will) do a far better job than I. If Tim thinks he can get away with what he did last night he is sorely mistaken. He picked the wrong beyotch to f*ck with.
Wow, I am absolutely stunned. There was no way that I would have thought that those posts last night could have come from the same Tim whom I've enjoyed reading for nearly half a year. I am just stunned and terribly, terribly disappointed. I was 100% certain that it had to be Casey or another troll posing as Tim.
Tim, I'll agree with you one last time: its probably best that you don't post here or IAFF ever again. In fact, I hope that you're not reading this. But if you are, please go get help. You are fortunate to have the time and resources to tackle anger/alcohol problems head on. Redirect the energy you've wasted on trying to help Casey out and work on your own shit.

Long time reader, first time poster.
How many times have any of us gotten mad and said things we didn't mean? Is this really enough grounds to suggest someone go to the FBI, or that they need to "go get help?" One moment of indiscretion shouldn't raise so many hackles.
Maybe it's the internet masks, but I think everyone needs to chill out and not take things so seriously. One mad post from TMBA doesn't mean he's honestly going to come around killing people.
Get over yourselves.
Roxrok
Roxrok,
I see what you're saying, and I agree that one person cannot be defined by one night of internet posting. At the same time, there's simply a line that you don't cross. And Tim went well past it.
And FWIW, reporting him to the FBI is farther than I would take it, personally. But if Mel feels that step is warranted, then that's her call. Anyone has the right at any time to utilize any and every resource to legally ensure his or her safety.
-walt526
Wow, I thought I had a good time last night! Bar hopping with co-workers and b!tching about a terrible week sure seemed like a lot of fun at the time but WOW, it almost would have been worth it to see this happen realtime!
@ Mel, sorry you had to be on the recieving end of that tirade from TfMBA. Guess our FFF isn't the only one that needs a mental health consult!
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.
I step away for a few days to enjoy my weekend and this place falls apart.
It's like that one time I went away for the weekend and my older son had a party @ my house in my absence and I had to come home to a shitload of hungover teenagers and a bunch of vomit everywhere.
Some of you are grounded.

You're right. Sorry if I offended any women with this comment. But in a way it's true to the mark. (Va)G only seems to be a one-dimensional character, the high-maintenance type that is happy so long as the checks come rolling in. Is she really worthy of deeper analysis or can we keep it hateful?
Also the Tim Saga is really too much to handle! His posts were harsh as hell and an extreme example of how CS can get people to fly off the handle. Even the alpha particle physics types.
Now I'm going to have trouble forgetting the all purpose comeback "Fuck you all dead." as it rolls off the tongue too easily.
