One of my favorite sub-genre's of Science Fiction is the Future History. Some are the great works in Literature not just the field. What if Charlemange had not been ambushed? If Alexander had turned from India? Chamberlin hadn't studied Maceadonian wheeling tactics? Daley hadn't delivered Illinois? Fascinating stuff. IMO tells us more about who were are than real history which is encrusted with inconvienient facts. "[Casey]'s right, you are haterz. Not because you dislike him, but because you dislike him for any small amount of success he may have."
I do not, in any way, wish failure upon Casey. Any legitimate success on his part would go a long way to dissapating any lingering negativity. Any inkling of maturity or responsibility on his part would be met with cheers and probably support. One aspect that makes watching so addictive is his ability to choose the one of an infinite number of paths that results in worst case outcomes. Not content to merely fail spectacularly and publically, Casey is compelled to pursue even illegal means of failing. I mean, come on. If he had straight up chosen to be the full on very best criminal he could be the world would be a better place. Last April he would have closed on 8 houses, rented them out at the very lowest rates, never made a payment, never gutted the properties, never continued to spend on education, never have wasted time or money on trying to fix everything in the aftermath. The results? Casey would have $100-$150k squirreled away to work with. Dozens of people would have been living in affordable housing for many months. The banks, acting sooner, would have long since disposed of the properties.

MURST!

Alternate History... an S.M. Stirling specialty.
Quite the prolific, wordy writer--but not bad really.
I never wished failure on Casey either, but now I'm so angry at him, I think he deserves the consequences of his blundering. Sorry if that's cruel, but he's had the tools to help himself all the while and chose not to use them.
I'm resigned to watch his spiral down into oblivion; and his last ditch efforts to get by in the ways that offer him the least inconvenience really shows what a little slimeball he is.
He lets his marriage, life and home founder in pursuit of fictional opportuntities. Then he cries about it.. boo hoo. That's insidious.
R.Dawg:
"Fatso Anonymous" claims to be a 26-year old corporate attorney, an Officer of the Court... with such a blase attitude towards those who break the law by defrauding corporations?
Here's some "discovery", Counsellor...clean out your desk, your services are no longer required here.
No wonder Snowflake was able to pull his scams.
With "watchdogs" this lackadaisacal.
Now that we have the murst out of the way (and >10 minutes after the post went up, you guys are slipping) I have to agree with Dawg. I don't begrudge Casey any success he might have.
I do think he has made a lot of mistakes. Mostly he takes the lazy / easy way out. As Dawg said he appears to be able to choose the path that leads to the worst possible outcome. His pathological avoidance of doing the hard work necessary to be a successful business person is annoying and entertaining, though. He spends a lot of time spinning his wheels so he thinks he's working, but he's really not accomplishing things.
The last 5 1/2 years of running my own business has taught me that there is no get rich quick solution. There is only hard work and dedication. A bit of smarts and a good idea helps, too.
He showed up in the Surreal Estate article about short sales on SFGate this morning. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2007/05/04/carollloyd.DTL
A fun romp [Amazon link]:
Alternate Presidents or is it Alternative? I can never keep that straight. ;-)
I fact, this was the book that inspired my comment above about Daley and the theft of the 1960 Presidential election. Nixon was counseled to pursue the fraud but in a selfless act decided the good of the country was more important. The subsequent events twisted him such that we got the Nixon of 1973.
I hope to god KC actually publishes his book - & then one that moment comes when he is confronted by that one person who actually bought his book.... in the MIRROR, then maybe he will realize his story SUCKS.

Hi Raw Dawg,
NEW FORUM
Thanx!
Lawnmower Man discovered Google #1 spots for Casey's site:
"every dirty penny", "bittersweet jetta", "lender ignore mode" & "Modesto pool scum".
Why not run and make money with those? People with dirty pennies could find him quickly, there are millions of dirty pennies out there, and people with pennies have money, pennies. Yeah this is a stupid one but better then trying to make money from people who do not have money. (Foreclosed people)
Or "Bitter Sweet Jetta", people with bust up Jetta's looking for Jetta parts or a Jetta blog.
How about "Modesto pool scum", a pool cleaning service in Modesto could advertise on it.
Then there is "lender ignore mode" of which he is undoubtedly an expert. I have no clue how you make money on that. If Casey tried to bill them they would just follow his advice and ignore the bill.
With the pool and Jetta options Casey could have at least struck a bargain with a repair shop that did his window or a deal with pool cleaners to get a discount for a month of free advertisement. Not big bucks but it would have been smart and would have gotten some monetary value from his site.
bob dawg,
one of my favs in this genre was "Fatherland" by Robert Harris.
The thesis is that Germany and US achieve dentente. Very realistic scenerio.
Regarding the president: Probably there was fraud in '60, and I can't believe that isn't the ONLY time it happened. Al Gore has gotten a few "golden handshakes" since he essentially shut up about 2000.
Regarding fliptard: Casey's book could be a "choose your own adventure" for real estate.
Except most "ending pages" will have a picture of a clown with cuffs.
I wonder why the person willing to pay $300K for that house did not go to the auction and get it at a bargin price.
I don't know how most people use google, but I try to make my searches as specific as possible in order to limit the crap. If I was facing foreclosure (I'm not, thankfully) I wouldn't search on the single word, I'd search for something like "avoiding foreclosure". If you do that KZ's site doesn't show up anywhere. Another notch in the belt of Google's search genie, since there's nothing on IAFF that provides useful advice on how to avoid foreclosure.
If, on the otherhand, you search for "Getting Foreclosed" our little ray of sunshine comes up number 4. How appropriate?
Perhaps this was already discussed in another thread, but what happened to snowflakes posts between 4/15 and 5/3?
Probably it's my inherent mistrust and loathing of politics speaking, but I doubt we've had a "clean" election in my lifetime, probably longer. The powerbrokers and politicians and dirty tricks crews are too evident, and too powerful NOT to sway or outright steal elections - I full expect more of the same in the upcoming farce, from both candidates - from Hillary! I expect corruption, and the Repubs, the few stupid enough to run, will *have* to pull things to win, ever since Bush Jr. abandoned his base.
I surmise that to get to the level of a Presidential run you HAVE to be dirty, with the amounts of money you have to raise, and the people you have to appease.
I'm tired of being pigeonholed and judged by who I voted for, or who I'm *expected* to vote for. I hate *ALL* politicians equally, I believe they are all crooked, regardless of party. Clinton was just as bad and crooked and scummy as Bush, and I'm tired of being yelled at because I won't drink the Clinton Koolaid. I did'nt vote or support either one, so leave me the fuck alone.
I've gotten to the point where I think we need to scrap the two party system, or the party system all together. It's beyond broke.
Attention Flailing Forward--your blog foreclosureavoiderssavedme got referenced in the last page of comments on the downfall of SDCIA Jeff. It has got to KILL Nigel that someone posted a link to that site. One can only hope that SDCIA folks click the link and realize who is getting tooled on.

Here here. I'm for tyrannical dictatorships with lots of violence and supression myself.
I see Casey has put Yahoo! ads on his site. I know he needs the money, so I clicked on one until the batteries in my murse, er, I mean, mouse, ran down. Anyone have a script for doing a continuous refresh?
Probably it's my inherent mistrust and loathing of politics speaking, but I doubt we've had a "clean" election in my lifetime, probably longer.
There's never been a clean election. Elections are the absolute worst measures of the public will ever attempted excepting for all the others. Apologies to Sir Winston.
Regards the 2000 Presidentials; First, accept this is the United States of America not the United People of America. The States elect Presidents. The Electoral College vote was never in question. The unpleasantness in Florida was precipitated by a State attempting to renege on that agreement.
The taller candidate almost always wins. (The rise of women is clouding this issue recently.)
The candidate with more money usually wins. The candidate who spends more money even moreso.
Unfortunately we get the government we deserve.
@Rob & Anon
Yeah, money rules all. Even the most earnest candidates end up being swayed by industry and lobbyists sooner or later. They stop representing the people very soon after they get into office.
Politicians are scumbags.
Yay Anarchy.
As for reading...
I really like end of the world as we know it scenarios... when three quarters of the population is wiped out, and humanity is returned to the dark ages again. That's good readin'.
Cool...Snowflake has yahoo ads up...Since it's a slow Friday I'm glad that I have something to do now. Let's see who can break the record for most clicks in an hour.
@Casey is a Genius
Why?
@Steph J
Clicking KC's Yahoo ads may get him banned for fraudulent clicks just like we all did for him with Google Adsense. No more sweet ad revenue - boo hoo!
On a different note, i met someone today who was actually studying for their Real Estate license. Isnt that like getting an MCSE now?
Sputnik the Cat, if you're reading this, I'm the "Sockpuppet Serin" who posts at some of the anti-Casey blogs, including DHC. (You asked in the previous thread).
Thanks for the compliment ;-)
Clicking KC's Yahoo ads may get him banned for fraudulent clicks just like we all did for him with Google Adsense.
Count me out of that "we" -- I thought the click-fraud attacks on his Google ads were cowardly and cruel.
Why shouldn't he run ads on IAFF? It strikes me as relatively honest income; far more honest than another scammy run at his mailing-list subscribers.
Steph J--I presume you've read Cormac McCarthy's "The Road?"
I regged over at Patrick's place. Should be interesting.
Maybe since Rob isn't going to do his long-promised forums, we should all migrate there?
far as I know, a lawyer is not required to report crimes. In fact, a lawyer cannot report a crime committed by a client in most circumstances. not that anon is representing KC.
people can get mad at anon, and I doubt he/she/it is really a corporate lawyer, but anon is probably right in that KC will never be prosecuted for his deeds so far.
IF he does, however, it will only be because enough of the public have raised a stink too big to ignore.
So go to it, my trolls!
_The Road_ was an excellent book. However, I am very upset about the missing "Pool Maintenance in Foreclosure" post at IAFF.
where, pray tell, is "Patrick's Place"?
Rob needs to get these forums up and running already.

@ ANON,
I have been into my own thing business wise for 11 years, and have see it all. Yet I keep at it without compromising my ethics. For eleven years I have believed that you can be wealthy and successful without being evil and ruthless, that Rich people are all evil is a myth.
After what I saw today maybe you are right and I have been wrong all along.
foreclosure pipedream - #1
foreclosures all good - #1
The [rich/powerful/wealthy/influential] are IMHO the most difficult to pidgeonhole. Lots of "rich" people don't show it. Tey don't always drive late model luxury cars. I'd go so far as to suggest that those types of conspicious consumption are anti-wealth indicators. That perception is skewed by the utlra-idle who don't care and attract all the attention. The same goes for ethics. The truly ethical don't raise money for the poor, or take your money for the poor but help where they find it. Snowflake is an example as well. The successful go out and succeed not devolve to merely talking about it.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the home Warren Buffet lives in? Or for that matter what is wrong with Omaha Nebraska? At that why even use the implied metric as a measure of success?
Nah, just adding words to "foreclosure" is too easy -- it gives you an automatic 6th place to build from. Although I was quite pleased with the #1 result for "8 houses, 5 foreclosures".
I posted this to IAFF, but it's too funny not to share here: It's All Good Companies, which include It's All Good Web Design and Dream the Biggest Dream. 1-866-WE-IMAGINE. Sweet failing-forward mother of God: here's a partner Casey can really engage with.
"No" vote here for messing up Casey's Yahoo ads by malicious clicking. It's great, pointless fun to say horrible, cruel things about him here all day, but I wouldn't deliberately drop a cinderblock on his head (unless I was in a bad mood and he was convenient). The only thing funnier than Casey failing would be Casey succeeding. Let him try to "monetize" with web ads. He needs no help from us to fuck up. He probably will, and that will be fun as I project his ultimate failure onto all the Caseys I've know. If he miraculously escapes his deserved fate and is instead rewarded, it will be like the ending of THE GETAWAY in which the bad guy wins and the audience laughs and cheers. As some wise blogger said a while back, it's a Zero-Mostel game, because the authorities who might deal with Casey one day are every bit as detestable as he is, so who cares what happens, really.
GUYS, WTF! WHY HAVENT YOU BEEN TO MY WEBSITE TO CLICK ON THE ADS. QUIT BEING HATERS! SWEET THINGS ARE COMING AND YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW!
@sprezz: Maybe since Rob isn't going to do his long-promised forums, we should all migrate there?
I am loyal to the Dawg. He is a good Dawg and has led us well. I'm staying here.
(And although I too have teased the Dawg from time to time about the long-promised forums, I really quite like the setup we have now. Better this than the campidiot cesspool.)
How could we fight for firstness and murstness on a forum ??!!
I am going to be honest, I have build up my self-confidence substantially by claiming first and murstness multiple times around here!
I'm with Casey Fann. I don't see any sense sabotaging someone who is already sabotaging himself.
Any reason that I can't see comments at IAFF,
This has happened a few times
I click over to EN from my bookmarks without even having to think about it. It's a habit. I can go on happily here and never feel compelled to go to IAFF unless there's a want for more material to rip apart.
I'm not going anywhere, much to Rob's chagrin, I'm sure--except to opine in my own way on my bloggue.
IAFF is #2 for: snowflake fliptard. EN is rightfully in the #1 position where the true story unfolds.
Rob Dawg,
Along the lines of your, taller candidate wins statement. In every conversation between two people one persons voice timbre adopts characteristics of the others (typically quickly). In every presidential debate this occurs and the candidate who's voice changes, has always lost. We're still pretty much hairless monkeys (well except me, I'm still pretty hairy).

You know nothing. *I* am a 26 year old corporate attorney. You're wasting precious billable time while I spend my discovery time trying to pick people apart to help me feel like a superior man.
I am successful. *You* are all stupid vapid people who do nothing but sit around and grow fat while picking on a poor innocent boy who I'd probably had touched inappropriately as a boy.
You're all old (that means 30) and bitter and unsuccessful, jealous of Casey's resounding success in life.
Now I have to go and be a 26 year old Corporate Attorney. See, here's my DeVry Institute certificate that says so.
Is this going to be one of those "choose your own ending" books? You know, since this story isn't quite done yet and he is already writing his memoirs...
Corporate Attorney Anon was painting with too broad a brush but his essential point was proven by the "lets ruin Casey's Yahoo ads via click fraud" idea.
I kinda have to agree with that, Anon 1:55--even if it does mean in doing so, I'm giving a certain 26 year-old corp. atty credit his defensive, short-fused butt doesn't deserve.
I only just now realized there's a thread with my eyeballs on it. Shows you how observant they are today.
Too low on the post to get much attention, but I can't leave the politics alone . . .
Probably it's my inherent mistrust and loathing of politics speaking, but I doubt we've had a "clean" election in my lifetime, probably longer. The powerbrokers and politicians and dirty tricks crews are too evident, and too powerful NOT to sway or outright steal elections
I wouldn't be quite so cynical. Elections in our day and age deal with such huge numbers that they're difficult to steal. It's like movies--I'm sure the studios "massage" the numbers to try and make them look good, but there's no hiding the fact that people loved "Toy Story" and absolutely hated "Glitter". Same with elections--there's almost certainly some dirty tricks going on, but 95% of the time it's clear who won and who lost. Only when an election is RAZOR close, like 2000, is there any question--but who can predict that an election will come down to a few thousand votes when it happens so rarely?
The candidate with more money usually wins. The candidate who spends more money even moreso.
Take a closer look and ask which is the cause and which is the effect. Saying that the candidate with the most money always wins is like saying that Berkshire Hathaway is a popular investment only because Warren Buffet is so rich.
Money is not a major issue for the popular candidates, who have people throwing money at them--nobody would think of Barak Obama as "rich", but he's got a campaign fund to rival Mitt Romney's (who IS rich, but he's raising his money the same way Obama is.) If the richest guy always wins, then what's-his-name-Forbes would be President, not George W. B.
The taller candidate almost always wins. (The rise of women is clouding this issue recently.)
Hmm, I thought Kerry was taller than Bush. In any case, it is a sad fact that it's difficult for men to get elected if they don't have a full head of hair. Same for women and obesity, unfortunate but true.
And short doesn't completely lock you out of politics. I mean, look at Kucinich . . . he made it to the Senate, and even if he doesn't make President, he's always got that wife . . .
(if you haven't seen the Mrs. Kucinich yet, brace yourself)
Mr. & Mrs. Kucinich
Hi Raw Dawg,
I'm reposting as there was some confusion as to where "Patricks Place" was.
NEW FORUM
Thanx!
To all you Click Fraud Haters:
Ohhhh Stop it...Snowflake pretty much expects it to happen and probably set it up again to try and gain sympathy...With the typical, "Well...The Haters Struck Again" type post.
Even though I didn't participate in his previous banishment. But the power of the Haters is a strong entity that no one can harness. It will go after Snowflake any chance it gets. And my motto is. If you can't beat'em, Join em.
======
Theory

Some of those extolling and promoting click fraud on IAFF are actually Casey 'supporters'* or Casey himself! Why? To provide better defense if his new account ever was garnished or discontinued owing to click fraud.
"I intended to prevent click fraud, but the freaking haters are out to foil my sweet deals! Just look [a link to this post on EN] at what they do!"
As always,
I L M S
Is this pure trolling, or is this please worship me bull?
A little bit of both, probably. It should be said, some of the Haters are a little full of themselves, and could use a bit of deflating. There are at least a few of the "I am enormously rich based on my own shrewd business prowess and hard work" types on this board, many of whom probably inherited their wealth from a trust fund or had a "little help" from the parents, but don't see that as an impediment to criticizing Casey.
In Casey's defense (not often that we take his side, but just to play the Devil's advocate) he started out with zero cash, no education, no connections, as the child of immigrants, and so with very little understanding of the American system. A lot of the people on this board who talk down to him were raised in the American culture, went to good schools, had significant financial assistance of some type in getting started, and benefited from good connections. Starting from nothing is possible, but it's VERY hard, and VERY slow. For someone without outside assistance, it's difficult to put away more than, say $10,000 a year, and that's with a college education. If the barrier to real estate investment is (currently, post-Bubble) at 10% of a median property, in California that's $60,000 of hard cash, or six years of eating Ramen noodles and living in a studio apartment, just to get started.
I'm Stayun put Alpha, just sayin.
WTF ! Emigrant or not, having money or not, education or not, I think the main thing people are mad about is his proven LAZINESS and refusal to get a JOB.
Again, L-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S and J-O-B !
I actually don't see a lot of people here being condescending on here. I think we are just a happy crowd that came for the train wreck and can't believe the laziness and lack of respect towards money/debt that KC shows us every day.
Yes he failed miserably at his lousy RE speculation, that can give people a quick satisfaction and they would move on. What keeps people infuriated is his total lack of values and morality....
My 'Rob Dawg car seat moment' was when I saw the email guranteeing not only +20% ROI but a promise to only invest money in houses that he had at least 2X the equity in for security. I don't care if he apologized later on. That's disgusting.
The fact is we wouldn't be having this click fraud discussion if the authorities would do their job. I mean how hard a case is this prosecute?? The only way I can describe my frustration is that scene in Top Gun after Goose dies and Jester is giving Maverick that free shot to break out of his funk.
Casey: "C'mon kid - take the shot"
SacDA: "No - it's no good, it's no good".
Kid - TAKE THE FREAKIN SHOT!
My Rob Dawg car seat moment came when I realized he had gotten thousands in additional credit. $4500 to pay off the corporation loan, $2500 to pay back rent, and even enough money to splurge on Casino's at Tahoe.
Never the less I think that those who engage in click fraud do not truly believe that Casey is capable of failing on his own.

Endgame, did you remember to add
Respectfully Yours
at the end. :)
@Peripheral Visionary
re: Casey,
zero cash? I don't think so, his parents helped him with his first purchase. (The one he actually made money on - the condo).
no education? He graduated from HS in the United States, decided college was for loosers(sic). Based upon his initial success with the condo, decided flipping was his calling (calls it rehabbing). No college education was his decision.
Just calling it as it was.
Many people in the US:
Go on to college, on their own ticket (I did), and without grants/scholarship/aid (but oh-my did those student loans hurt).
Many don't get significant financial assistance past 18 (you're on your own kid..) and can't get grants because their parents make too much.
As for doing it from nothing, it is slow going.. and you have to work. Casey seems to choose Jamba Juice, and gotta nap again! He wants it now, fast and without trying to put forth an effort.
As for "six years of eating Ramen noodles and living in a studio apartment".. been there, done that (but instead of studio apartment, I was renting a room in a house to get the cost down lower).
In Casey's defense (not often that we take his side, but just to play the Devil's advocate) he started out with zero cash, no education, no connections, as the child of immigrants, and so with very little understanding of the American system.
Devil's advocate response: many immigrants start from the same position and become successful business owners through vision, determination, and hard work.
Casey desperately wants to be an entrepreneur, but he wants to short-cut his way there. In his world, the vision is enough: if he believes it, good things will naturally follow. Hard work is for employees.
And that's what riles me: the perpetual happy-clappy it's-all-good positivity. He simply cannot see the huge gap between his ambitions and his abilities. He likes to talk like a businessman, but he fails to act like a businessman: he loses focus, he neglects details, he procrastinates. But he can't accept his shortcomings and apply himself to a niche that would suit him better, because to do so would destroy the fantasy image he's built of himself.
are you still moderating non-paid, non-registered comments?
He's not, or at least not yet -- there are 152 comments in the moderation queue. (Registered users can see the comment count on the Dashboard.)
BJ and LM are totally correct. Just to make one further point: Casey notes that he arrived in the US in 1994 (the Earth Mission blog), making him around 10 or 11 when his family emigrated. You can't really say he started as an immigrant, unfamiliar with American culture. That description applies to his parents. Casey, instead, is fully aware of American culture, and has spent his teen years in this country.
Maybe his initial Ponzi scheme email when he was 14 can be excused for stupidity and cultural ignorance, but nothing since then. He's fully aware of American culture.
My own grandfather came to this country as a child with absolutely nothing, and became a sucessful businessman.
It took decades of hard work to get there, though.
My Rob Dawg car seat moment came when HOMEY started posting here.
I also work as a corporate attorney (by day anyway) though I disguise myself as a toilet cleaner at work so nobody really knows what I do. This allows me to go from room to room emptying garbage(you'd be surprised what you can find), listen in on conversations between lawyers in the can (no one pays attention to me, or at least they don't want to with my cursing and flamobyant use of the plunger), but most important, because I am also a top secret agent. Don't let my jelly belly stuffed pleather jacket and pube filled balding head fool you, I am as lethal as they come. When a client refuses to settle, I am the GUY that they call in to blackmail them into submission. You'd be surprised what you can do with MS paint,a picture of someone's face and let's say...a walrus. You do not want to meet me in a cold dank men's room..unless I'm cruising..but I digress....
I get amused at all these comments about Corporate Attorneys. You see, I am a Corporate Attorney. I probably should accuse myself from participating in this thread, but I thought I would cease the moment to tell a story.
As a 26 y/o Corporate Attorney, I tried to keep myself in shape, but I was in no shape for what was going to come that day I moved into my apartment complex to begin my new job as a Corporate Attorney. I had yet to hang any window coverings, so imagine my surprise when I found a 5'10" perfectly built blonde watching through the window as I worked my lats on my Soloflex™.
You probably won't believe what happened next, but...
I, too, am two 6-year-old attorneys. My virile potency knows no limits. In fact, my throbbing member terminates in a majestic knob that resembles nothing so much as a plastic Popeye head, with the pipe and everything. Toot toot. When I'm excited, it smacks me in the face.
Anyway, you're all a bunch of dummies and stuff and I'm great.
No. You are a dried up old piece of shit. Self defined.
Rob Dawg @ 12:20
Hey Rob, so right you are. Now, being one of the world's richest men, I don't mind owning a big boat, 24 cars, a few cool houses... people even expect it from me.
However, my good buddy, Steve Ballmer, worth a cool $14 billion, has lived in the same house for the past 20 years, drives a 1998 Lincoln, and to meet him on the street, most people wouldn't know that he is one of the wealthiest people in the nation.
People who talk about it... they just aren't cool in my book.
Actually, I'm also a 26 year old plastic surgeon. I'm taking a break from liposuctioning Rosie O'Donnell's ass, so I can tell you how much better I am than you.
Sure, I may come home smelling like Celebrity Ass Fat™, but I make more money than you, and that's all matters to a shallow, self absorbed douche bag like me.
Oh shit, her ass just exploded!!! I'll have to get back to you.
Liposuctioning Rosie O'Donnell's ass, eh? Wow! That could be a lifetime career with job security and all!
I don't wish Casey harm; however, given his attitude and behavior, I also don't want him to win the lottery.
Casey lacks empathy and understanding for anyone and anything beyond his own personal needs, wants and desires. He has no idea of consequences or accountability for his actions. He spends beyond his means and racks up continuous debts, however, he doesn’t honor his end of the agreement for repayment of his debt unless it is by taking on more debt.
When he writes about what he needs his income to be, he thinks only in the vain of basic living expenses (cheap rent, utilities which are supplied by his SIL) plus his “must have” shiny objects and pleasures (PDA, jamba juice).
He gets angry that Wells Fargo “stole” his money from checking – after he’d assumed thousands of dollars in debt at that very institution. He begrudges lenders and others attempts to seek repayment and continuously lies about his situation.
He wants to “play” the part of a real estate investor, yet cry “foul” on the industry for lying on his loan docs, equating his continued fraud for monetary gain as “speeding on a highway” because everyone does it.
In my circle, no one has every lied on their loan docs regarding their income or intended use of a property. None of us ask the other for a “loan” or “advance” because we don’t know how to manage our money.
I often ask myself “what kind of parents did this kid have?”
Did they not teach him basic ethics?
Did they not teach him how to handle money, credit, and the basics of financial planning?
Did they not teach him to be honest?
Did they not teach him to honor his agreements?
Did they not teach him the value of a dollar earned?
Did they not teach him to save for a rainy day?
Did they not teach him basic human compassion and understanding?
I mean, what in the hell went on in the Serin household to create this train wreck of a mess?
And don’t go whining about how they are foreign country and exempt from achieving the American dream through a little patience, sweat and hard work.
Sadly, Casey is a product of our educational system…. It is my understanding they no longer teach basic economics in high school any longer. (Over 25 years ago, when I attended high school, everyone was required to take a “life skills” course that taught students how to balance a checkbook, live within a budget, and manage money wisely.)
I find the biggest possible karmic joke to be the possibility that Casey declares BK, has his debt wiped clean for a fresh start, then wins a $100 million lottery…. and, of course, rather than managing that $$ wisely, finds himself broke and living with is SIL five years later because the money somehow “disappeared.”
People keep bailing him out – and I don’t know or understand WHY. Are those close to him too frightened of his mental instability that they think or believe he could or would harm himself if faced with the true harsh reality of his situation – that he is now hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt with no income or means to repay? That he doesn’t have any plan (just ideas and dreams) of how to pay for life’s basic necessities (i.e. rent, utilities, food) so they continue to loan him $$ after $$.
The best thing for Casey (and his wife) is for them to face their responsibilities head on, get jobs, set up a budget and start repayment of the debt they have accumulated these past few years. That’s the definition of an adult. Until they do so, they are just immature children…..
I'm in the middle of wrestling with an especially complex MS Word redlined document - I'm running out of colors and can't decide between Lime and Turquoise. Help!
Can someone also help me with the difference between Warantee and Indemnification - especially when applied to a Subcontract Addendum to a Parental Guarantee? I was too busy sucking up to my professor on the glorious day he introduced us to those concepts.
Oh SHIT - I just accepted ALL redlined changes by mistake! I'm dead meat! Better get that lowfat latte delivered and then try to recover the doc....
Ask rob dawg why he hates Mexicans...well better yet, ask his teenage daughters that are frequently servicing them.
Must suck to hate people that your daughters are banging.

Nigel's back! Yeah. Hey Nige, I bet you shit your pleather pants every time Snowflake's site goes down. And it goes down almost as often as you do at one of your Olympic Pin Gloryhole parties.
)))Hey Nige, I bet you shit your pleather pants every time Snowflake's site goes down(((
Hey! A bit of respect, here. Nigel's shit is purest gold. And, if you were to retrieve some of that shit from the toilet - one of those turds of perfection, smooth and glistening - you might be surprised by the tiny heartbeat your stethoscope would detect within. Do you dare wield your scalpel this evening, sodden with drink as you are? Will a lifetime of surgical reflexes overcome the 14% of pure alcohol in your sustem, more than enough to kill an army of ordinary men? Yes. Your skills are intact, even though your speech is slurred. Inside the turd, past the surprising ribcage, you find a beating heart of pure shitty gold, a nervous system, some little poop tubes, and more...
Yes, there is a brain. A tiny little shitty golden brain. Your neurosurgical skills allow you to quickly wire the nubbin of sentience to a supercomputer, one of many in the shoebox in your closet. Suddenly speech pours forth from a tiny speaker. You take notes. Information of a stunning nature, insight of a profound depth issues forth. The secrets of getting rich from real estate are revealed to you, issuing from the shitty shiny pellet.
Will you use this knowledge of real estate for good...or evil?
I am 24 and had economics in high school. I'm from the east coast though, maybe they don't teach it in california.
I got ahold of the manuscript for the new book. Quite interesting:
"Hi, I was greedy in the recent housing bubble and lost. The End."
Such a unique story and capitavating story. I'm sure millions of copies will sell.
Has anyone saved the many missing pages from IAFF?
Looks like casey deleted A LOT of the previous posts... he sanitized it... this is soooo deceiving....
He will face the same fate as the guy from the million pieces... a liar and a thief...
This soap opera is done..
Never mind.
I am not Stephanie J, but I would like to recommend clicking on me for her Church of Serintology post.
At some point, those who have chosen not to click ads will accept they only refrain to keep the show going longer.
Akubi, are you advertising for me?
@Anon 8:29
The Casey Show is all fun and such, but it's not my whole life. If it ends; it ends. I don't see how intervening to help him fail makes it better. He can do it on his own... maybe he'll ... surprise us. ::::ROFL::::
Getting Casey banned from Yahoo! for click fraud = some sense of cosmic justice.
All posts from April 15-ish to the present appear to be gone. Any others missing? Did he really sanitize the blog?
Steph,
I just might be doing so for some added Google fun;)! Casey is a compelling metaphor and his Looney Tunes factor keeps me coming back. However, I have never participated in clicky ad BS so I am one of
the few,
the special,
the awesome folks allowed to comment on IAFF without paying.
Plus I'm a card carrying member of the Church of Serintology.

Can someone explain how anyone can be this sick and twisted and still be able to hit the send button with their shriveled claw? The closest any of this comes to reality is my objection to the policies of the Mexican government that in my opinion are both driving illegal immigration and hurting both nations. It has long been my view that while some individuals and families benefit the net impacts are negative. Even within that negative the US fares far better than many of the places from which we draw the undocumented labor pool. Being against bank robbery is not to be construed as being against mortgage lending standards.
He's being righteous about your so-called hatred, and then without missing a beat, makes statements like that about little girls. What does that say about him?
Polyester is on IFC now! Who cares about looser(tm) trolls.
Yeah, you're right. Trolls are annoying. I totally let one annoy me today, and then as I was typing, I realized how unimportant this person is, and ended up deleting a posted response. Just not worth my time.
Hey Akubi - about the Montessori thing - nope, never did. I grew up in Montreal and my mother says she sent my oldest brother to a Montessori school and he walked home by himself at 2 in the afternoon and showed up at our sliding door at 4 years old. "Hi Mom," he said. "What the..." my mother said as she slid the door wide. "I wanted to come home, so I left," Said my brother. When the school realized he was missing hours later, my Mum said - I'm done with you people..."
OMG!!!
Stephanie
The best part was my Mum let them sweat it out a while, while my bro was at home watching Leave it to Beaver.
@Stephanie J,
It's obvious he's failed on his own, but I make a distinction between the Monkey and the Monkee's cup.
I'd like nothing better than to see Casey Serin, the dancing monkey, actually man-up and provide for his wife. As long as he gets change in the cup, it's not going to happen.
He had his opportunity to make things happen in Jan/Feb. He could have expanded on growing popularity. Instead, he waited to try new new things when his traffic started it's decline. It's over, and things will change quickly.
Loved your post on Serintology, very well written.
Why thank you. :)
I had fun with it.
Casey is going to write a book to avoid foreclosures?
That's like one local highschool football coach writing how to win the big games after he has 10 consecutive losing seasons! Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno and Amos Alonzo Stagg would be envious of this writing!!
Whew! Maybe now they'll stop comming after me.
OT-Anyone as delighted as me that Paris Hilton is heading to jail?
She's like a super wealthy version of snowflake, or sort of a snowflake in her own right. Her parents have always condoned her retarded behavior.
from the NY Post:
"I don't understand. I did what they told me," she sobbed as her mother and father surged forth to console her.
Hilton's mother, Kathy, sarcastically dismissed the judge as a publicity-seeking scoundrel, blurting out "May I have your autograph?" as he rendered his decision.
I hate this entire family.
Paris has no regard for others - drink driving, driving while license suspended, driving while on probation. Everything revolves around her and her needs.
Casey has no regard for the people he has screwed over - lenders, creditors, banks, friends, family, wife. To him, a contract is just a piece of paper which he will sign to get a loan or a house. He feels no obligation to honour whatever it says (because, to tell the truth, he didn't read it or didn't understand it anyway).
Both of them are popular in a perverted sort of way. Miss Hilton for her outrageous and clueless behaviour; Casey for his illegal and clueless behaviour.
The only difference is, Paris has heaps of money and income whereas Casey has, well, less than nothing.
Perhaps Casey keeps a Chihuahua in his murse :-)
Yeah uh, I think she does.
Um. IAFF down AGAIN??? I'm getting a 404 error.
Mad skillz or non payment of hosting bill? You decide.
With no valid credit card he can't pay the hosting fee.
Oh yeah, and my Rob Dawg spit the dummy moment came when I read his email attempting to scam all his friends with a 24% interest offer when he knew he was in serious financial trouble and his equity was negative.
I had been building up to it though, ever since reading Casey admit he mislead his wife about his financial situation before marriage.
It seems Casey's happy to mislead anybody, while he can get away with it. This doesn't work so well when he's blogging and hundreds of people who are smarter than he is are pointing out the gaps and inconsistencies in his story. There seem to be some questions he's simply not willing to answer on his blog, even though they seem fairly inocuous.
The possibility has been aired that Casey is on drugs or has something else he's spending money on, which he dare not mention online, and presumably he avoids questions which lead into that area - like "what did you spend the money on?"
I bet there's too many registered users have made comments and the server is full again.
The explanation of the previous outage was the server he uses (HeeKee / Camp Idiot) was over it's limit hence the Casey comment (= wishful thinking) of moving to a dedicated server. However, the easy out was to delete about 10 days worth of postings to free up the space. My suspicion is he just run out of space again. (all IMHO)
When I roll out of bed @ noon each day I visit my Daily Affimation site. What do you W2 loosers do each day?
I hope Galina starts blogging, otherwise how are we going to know what happens after Casey gets arrested?
I wouldn't give Casey money; it's obvious that he wastes it. If Galina started begging for donations that's a dilemma; does Casey deserve support in his defence fund or is it "all better" if he experiences the full consequences of his actions?
IAFF is all back including the posts that were lost a day or so ago.
Galina is as pathetic as Casey since she just watches her husband panhandling on the internet. No dignity for these people.
Anyways, whatever happened to the Cashcall payments? Casey rather piss his money away on Tahoe than take care of his home. He's needs a good azzkickin at this point.
I would have beat the shit out of him already if he was my brother-in-law!!
Casey has to be the greediest person on earth. He'll do anything to make a million, like burn many people along the way.
And he claims he's a Christian! What Christian would act like this and hurt people?
You are right, Casey needs his azz kicked real good with broken bones and all!
TK,
Your brother’s Montessori experience sounds a lot like mine until I was 7. When we moved I was completely dissatisfied with the new Montessori school because they had a far less open-minded approach. Eventually I opted for public school instead.
BTW Paris Hilton is featured in this week’s game of 6 Degrees of Casey Serin™ over at baabaabaab but Schnapps is going to be a pretty tough act to follow.
Casey,
That is one SWEET! Daily Affirmation site!
Dear Dawghouse Forum
I never thought I'd be writing to you but I had to share this incident. I worked my way through Law School (I'm a 26 year old Corporate Attorney now) by delivering pizzas. I was delivering 1 extra large with everything and one medium vegan special to this townhouse in west sacremento. A slim man with blonde streaked hair answered the door and explained that he couldn't afford to pay me for the pizzas, but he had a win-win solution for me. He led me into the townhouse and there were 2 women there, he introduced as his wife and sister in law...
Paris Hilton is the most useless piece of garbage in the world. She will spend the equivalent of a college education at a store, on things she will most likely never use. She has no sense of value, no aspirations, nothing to offer the world at all except bad narcissistic porn and tiny boobs.
What is her purpose besides being a total f*cking skank whore? To be a 'media darling'? Who the hell cares if she's on the in or outs with Nicole? What value do either of those girls offer to make themselves significant as human beings? Really?
Maybe in Jail she can be Mami Chula's wife/bitch. That'll give her purpose.
Oh, accessory dogs and huge sunglasses. There's her contribution tot he world.
I guess I'm just not getting the Paris Hilton thing. If I didn't know anything about the person I'd see the racier pics and say "nice package." Knowing the very little I do about the person even the package doesn't hold any appeal. And jeez, nevermind being a worthwhile person, show some class at least. It doesn't matter that she has less hair on her ... than Casey has on his chin but taking an opportunity to prove it?
