This is my office
Well, not -my- office. My office is a bunch of computers in a shed in the back yard. No, this is Adam Arellano's office. He says so himself on his amazing website http://www.fastfortunenow.com/
Stop in. Check it out. Now this is a guy who knows what he's doing. How do I know? Well instead of a Jetta he's got a Viper for one. And his house in Albuquerque, NM is nicer than Burdett. His wife is prettier and he's only 23! Gotta tel ya, he seems way too interested in elephants though.

The guy's feet in the picture have some pretty nice bunions as well... ;-)
I wonder if he's a graduate of NRU???
==== Casey Serin FAQ website online ====
http://www.caseyserin.org
This site is hosted overseas and has unlimited disk space. Please email any pictures you have saved on your HD to data@caseyserin.org.
The FAQ will be online in a couple of days.
The site's bot will be crawling web sites to capture "Casey data". Please send links to the bot by entering them into the feedback form on the site.
Please email any text or web page cache you may have of Casey's old blogs.
I believe a well structured FAQ w/pictures and text will be invaluable to the DA.
I have little time to maintain this site as I do make money (unlike Serin) so the site will remain a "FAQ site".
Thanks again for anything you can send to help build the site to a useful archive.
What is it with these network marketers and their obsession with the conference call sound? One particular recording studio I worked with had a huge number MLM guys that would pay us to make them sound like they were on a conference call. So odd.
And what the hell is he selling? I so do not get the hard sell of an "opportunity".
MLM is such a suckers game.
I'm sorry, but making a site about that guy and putting all his information and pictures on the web is just over the top. You guys are worse than he is. I'm not talking about this site of Robert Cote's, but I am referring to caseyserin.org.
Casey may have done something against the law, but he didn't go out of his way to expose the details of any of your family members or friends. This is complete and total harassment. I don't understand why it isn't enough to tell law enforcement and let them handle it.
Whoever created that site is far, far more deranged and worse than Casey is. We know Casey will get his punishment. I don't understand why that isn't enough for you sick people.
I am -not- Casey. I don't support Casey. I think he is a criminal. I am, however, no fan of vigilante justice because no citizen who respects the underpinnings of western society and the ideas behind social contracts would ever short-circuit the law and go out of his way to attack and harass "criminals."
You're worse than he is if you think doing what you're doing is right.
@ Homey da Clown
Homey - I believe that this post is Rob's way of politely asking for more info. So if you wouldn't mind "gittin dat 411 and holla'n at R-dawg" I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
@ EN Board
Hi all - I'm Jim from Monterey Bay Proper - just wanted to say not everyone from MBA is 'crazy in da head'. Hate to admit it but I'm caught up in this whole thing too. Just bought a place in West West Monterey Bay. I was all hopped up on Big League Chew and then took down a 2 liter of Mountain Dew. For some reason I chased that with an entire pack of Mentos. Believe me, after that I was seeing red, green, blue, every color you can imagine. It was like a skittles commercial from hell. Anyway I woke up 4 hours later and learned that during my blackout I had bought a lot in West West Monterey Bay [Monterey Bay Proper] that Erik Estrada was advertising on late night TV. But now the damn thing is underwater, and I'm not talking financially. I mean the G@d Damn F%@king Tide came in and my lot is literally underwater. You know that banner on top of IAFF - that's my F@cking back yard! But hey - you don't see me tossing out death threats. So I hope everyone is ok if I take over as the MBA resident poster.
Interesting site - just what exactly does the kid do?? And the elephant... don't get me started with the vision I just had of this fellow and all his buddies getting drunk, naked and going for a "trunk ride". Stop me, please.
Want to give a shout out to Ogg, Aelfscine and several others - thanks guys, even in cyberspace it means a lot to have support. And Ogg, "Ogg The Caveman's Patent Wang Deodorizer" needs to be a part of every caveman's toiletry kit. (For those that missed it, check out the last coupla posts of "Do I Smell Fishy Treats", Ogg debuts his entrepreneurial skills)
Couldn't resist - ran over to IAFF to check out the comments (I know, I know) and CS had let this little gem slip thru:

Did Russ Whitney really give your wife a hot beef injection? That’s sweet! Carlton Sheets is my own personal God. He tithes… like… all day long. I bathe in wheatgrass. Booya!
Bwhahahaha!!!!!
I fail to see how caseyserin.org is harassing Casey?
It is only "collecting" information posted by Casey and preserving it. Casey spends enough time deleting and editing his ever -changing version of the story.
A site with all the information in one place is far more useful than scrolling through hundreds of posts. I am certain that is how Casey would like the info to "stay" or is the proper term DECAY?
Found a new pic of Casey & RK:
Three Hour Tour
Casey has shown no fear or remorse. He certainly hasn't shown any concern for the effects his actions are going to have on his friends and family. Evidence that friends and family may have been involved is fair game for examination. Casey has shown a proclivity for teasing with a little information. "Rich Dad's office" being a prime example. Without public information being disemminated much that has transpired would have gone unnoticed. Without a permanent record much of that is likely to "disappear" as well. Beyond a few lifestyle confirming flickr pictures and visual evidence that Galina is an active participant in these ventures I couldn't care less about Christmas presents or big butts. A compendium of public information may be damaging if people think of it as something more but that's been an issue for a lot longer than any of us have been around.
Dammit VG!!!!
I just freakin collapsed a lung!!!!
"Casey has shown a proclivity for teasing with a little information. "Rich Dad's office" being a prime example."
An email just arrived and with a picture DELETED on IAFF by Serin. The high-res version of the picture (now on site) shows that Casey's Rich Dad and son were not very rich.
Archives are a wonderful thing.
Yeargh. If he can afford the car & hot wife, he can surely afford a pedicure. Do they not teach the importance of grooming at NRU?

You never cease to amuse me.
Vague Guru, try this for an idea -- a MAD Magazine Cover with Casey's face (the one where he's wearing the reddish button-down shirt) overlaid onto Alfred E. Neuman's...
Possibly with his shoulders shrugged, saying, "What, me? Worry?". hehehehe
caseyserin.org guy,
you went over the line. you state that "here is a photo of galina working on THEIR property".
I click on the link, expecting to see a photo of babushka butt bent over, sweeting as she pounds ... some nails. maybe a little thong showing.
but, no, it's just her standing there playing "foreman" with a clipboard. at least get the "butt shot" of her in front of the house with handyman negri.
shame on you for teasing us like that...
oh, and make sure to get the hawaii shots, of their vacation taken using the sweet cash back at closing.
vague guru,
with your photoshop skills, I comission you to make a portrait of Casey visiting the Land of Make-Believe.
oh, and Bob Dawg, mad props if you use a photo of me, King Friday, for a topic photo. Try not to use a shot with Queen Wednesday; let's leave her out of this.
King Friday -
Maybe your topic could be titled "A man's home is his castle" with you standing outside a hovel.
Would sum up what a lot of high rollers will be facing in the near future.

Here ya go:
What Me Worry?
I am actually feeling a smidge of sympathy for our bizzaro-hero today. His image being messed with in such a way. Poor, poor thing.
NOT! LOL
Vaguey-G... Props to your p-shop skills. Is there nothing better than that program or what?
Home improvement day today. There's nothing more satisfying or romantic for a girl like me than to traipse around a home-improvement store. ::sigh::
The scent of cedar, and the gleam of brushed nickel hardware... ::shudder::
Hey Stephanie, I know the feeling, something about pushing a cart loaded with lumber gives me a girl woody.
Isn't it insane - all the time that Casey has spent debating whether he wants the $250 has cost him several thousand dollars!!!!!! I would be completely bald by now if I were him.
"I would be completely bald by now if I were him."
That's because you have a conscience.
...and you're not shortsighted.
Vague Guru, you rule. :o)

there are a million of these sketchy 'im rich' websites. they must come off of a template or something.
i'd like to hear what the scam is behind these things...
Has anybody figured out what this guy is selling?
Ah, Stephanie J--Love your posts, (Don't we all,) but as an open-source geek, I have one minor nitpick w/your comment to Vague Guru:
"Vaguey-G... Props to your p-shop skills. Is there nothing better than that program or what?"
Yes, Vague Guru has fantastically funny Photoshop skillz, but there is something better than P-shop; it's called GIMP, and it's free! (Sercasey could take a lesson from this comment, rather than pissing and moaning over ethical issues pirating Photoshop, methinks!)
I suspect it's some kind of SEO scam... You could always fill in the form and find out though :)
No, -you- fill out the formm... No, you fill it out,.. No you... no...
Basically an online intelligence test. They only want people stupid enough to fill out the form. Greater Fool theory.
No way! Then I'll have some MLM nutcase on my back...
The domain is registered to:
Genesis International, Inc.
7424 Via Serenita SW
Albuquerque, New Mexico 87121
United States
Genesis International Inc just brings up medical equipment manufacturers, and I suspect Adam isn't smart enough for that business.
I'm dying to know what this weasel does, these sites are everywhere.
ok, this is kind of weird... viewing the source on the contact page of www.fastfortunenow.com, you can see some commented code with the address which links to 'yourmentorforsuccess.blogspot.com/' - amusingly 'she' is using the same template as you rob!
nevertheless, )conspiracy theories aside :), if you read the first post by 'wendy stevens' and go to the address yourmentorforsuccess.com you come across another of these weird get-rich-quick sites that appear to come off of a template. it is just like fastfortunenow except there is a picture of wendy this time, and it's her voice...
what are these?
anon 11:57,
Wierd but at least you discovered the "business model." They teach you to set up an internet site that sells information on how to... yup, sell an internet site that....
yup... the internet version of putting an ad in the paper saying 'send me a dollar and i'll show you how to be a millionaire'
i'm 100% convinced this is just SEO junk, check out the 'resources' page...
http://www.yourmentorforsuccess.com/resources.asp?id=&kw=&src=
With these MLM people the product is meaningless. The product means nothing. The product is only there to make it a "legit" business. Do you know how many times I've heard the "opportunity" phone call? How many years back? If I still had a reel to reel tape player, I would bet that I could find a similar pitch from the early '90's. They sell the dream.
Those dudes give me the willies.
-jbjbj
the thing that puzzles me is, How the heck can this be on the google supported link above the search list ?
Google AdWords aren't necessarily Google supported. Anyone can buy association with a particular "word" (including mispelled words). And yes, that is information that these kinds of "businesses" will at some point reveal to you as being profound knowledge.
