Murse v. Manpurse
GMAFB, the real Casey is on vacation with the "other" $1500 and this is not him on his best manic peak.
This is the post where I officially stop reading or visiting IAFF forever... Pitiful.
I mean, HOLY SHIT!, that is a lot of credit cards and he carries them with him! Why hasn't he run them through a shredder? Any quite frankly, even though he "jokingly" says it, any mention of a stolen credit card on his site should probably be taken at least somewhat seriously. I wouldn't put identity theft past the little f**ker.
Your benevolent dictator (of the moment thus) speaks:
I did not read the IAFF exudation of the day. I will not. From what has apeared here it is so blatant an attempt at soliciting pageviews that the only ethical act would be to ignore. Awww, hell. No. Not ignore, just not visit.
"dm" is correct. Any sane person would have shredded 30 of the 34 cards.
EVERYONE is correct, this is not the fliptard typing.
Yeah, the writing style has a different tone... Not sure what Nigel's writing style is, since I've never read a word he's written. (Other than "My point is this is algae from the sun.") Galina, maybe?
May 29th, 2007 11:44 am Real Estate Investor Bag of Tricks
From my pictures many of you have noticed my constant companion on my real estate investing adventures: my “manbag” (incorrectly identified by some as “murse”).
Real Estate Investor's Bag of Tricks [enlarge photo]
It’s time to show you what’s inside the Real Estate Investor’s Bag of Tricks. Here are the contents:
Victorinox bag made by the makers of Swiss Army Knife - just the right color and style for the real estate investor to wear it with casual clothes as well as semi-dressed up. It completely zips up to keep all the contents safe. Real estate investor can even run with it - to catch somebody or run away from somebody.
Wallet with Credit Cards and No Cash - a real estate investor does NOT carry cash in this matching genuine leather wallet. It’s not safe and if you don’t have it you won’t spend it on impulsive deals. Smart real estate investor maxes out all the credit cards into great investments in order to increase cash-on-cash return. Also when there is no credit available a stolen card can do no harm.
Hacky Sac - for when the real estate investor is bored, like a the foreclosure auction.
The Original ALTOIDS Peppermints - the only kind that the real estate investor will ever put in his/her mouth. These keep the investor’s social networking going smooth at real estate investor clubs. Nobody likes a real estate investor with bad breath. These are the only mints strong enough to even overcome the wheat grass aftertaste.
Natural Tear Drops - keeps the eyes hydrated when the real estate investor is blogging his sweet deals late into the night.
PDA Cellphone - no real estate investor can go without a smart communication device - a blend of a PDA and cellphone. Keeps all the contacts, todos, and appointments synced with Outlook and within easy reach. Many a sweet deals have been done on this phone. Wireless internet allows moderating comments and blogging remotely. This phone is specially designed to help real estate investor dodge pesky collector calls during occasional lender-ignore mode.
Win-Win Deal Pen - not just an ordinary pen, the real estate investor uses this pen to sign win-win contracts, iron-clad partnership agreements and $50,000 promissory notes. This Win-Win Deal Pen comes equipped with built-in clock and stylus tip for use with the touch-screen PDA. As with all vital equipment the real estate investor demands the very best.
Connections Notepad - even in this digital age a smart real estate investor understand the value of good-ol’ paper when it comes to quickly jotting down a sweet deal lead from a birddog or taking down vital contact info for an important connection while networking.
Digital Voice Recorder - real estate investor must record important conversations and negotiations for training purposes.
Minolta 2-Megapixel Digital Camera (not shown) - to take all the semi-staged and famous pictures.
Million Dollar Bill - for the real estate investor to stay focused.
No, it's Casey. He's been reading CaseyPedia (he deletes comments that link to it, and it's hard to ignore given that it's his #1 incoming link at the moment) and is trying to capture the valuable snarky demographic.
But really: he's run out of topics. Can't touch the wife and family any more (and I'll bet he got a rocket for the last post); the foreclosure dramas are over; the slow debt stuff is boring; poking fun at himself is a desperate attempt to find something, anything, to say to keep the traffic up and the advertisers happy. It sounds forced because it is.
The pissy comment reacting to the "jumped the shark" comments is pure Serin.
I would bet that this post was received as a comment from someone and Casey posted it as his own. Copying and pasting seems to be the only thing he is good at. Oh wait a minute - remember the cut and paste comment he made about acquiring gold - as a "hedge against the upcoming war?" What a lying little schmuck

I've been reading sercasey since last October, his style is unmistakable. He's never used phrases such as "Many a deal..." and "a stolen card can do no harm". These are phrases that are just not in his vocabulary. Not to be confused with phrases he doesn't understand like, telling the truth and paying back every dirty penny. This can't be him unless they've finally adjusted his meds.
@$$$ Thanks for the post. The little wanker feeds off his page views--they're all he has now, and once his advertisers realize no one's going there, they will die off. I really don't want to support his lunacy in any way.
Also, Rob Dawg: "GMAFB"? I don wanna be the last ta know.
The point of the post is comic relief. People take themselves way too seriously around here. Gotta relax a bit. Chill.
Also, many have been wondering what’s inside. So here you go.
The Foreclosure Friday Show
Not sure who will be on the upcoming Foreclosure Friday’s show. Still putting it together. Everybody is welcome to call-in of course.
I’ll try do less “interrupting and manipulating”. I don’t think I do much of that but a few people complained about it. Look guys, I gotta keep the flow going and can’t let people tie up the line for 30 minutes. Also, when people ask me a very vague question I like to ask clarifying questions. That’s all. Some people can’t handle it though. I’ll try to be more nice though.
On Duane LeGate
Aside from violating my privacy he pisses me off by criticizing me for making an honest buck or two from this website. Here I’m doing something good and I get all this hate from the guy who says “he has my best interest at heart”.
Still, I should be more courteous to people, hater or not. I feel kind of bad hanging up on him on the last episode after he started ripping into me again.
If Duane calls on the next show, I will take his call and give him a chance to talk a little.
Maybe he can explain to me how he paid off $700,000 of unsecured debt (so he claims) without any additional borrowing or doing any business and why he wasn’t willing to give me any actual hand-holding with my situation.
He only gave me unreasonable commands, like “call the lenders and negotiate payments” when I didn’t even have stable income to count on every month and don’t know what to tell the lenders. Like it’s that easy!
I have a lot more to say… I may do a whole post on this or save it till the show..
# 27. Casey Serin May 29th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
To everybody that keeps saying “I’m jumping the shark” with this post or the other.
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE THEN??
Stop clogging up the comments and spreading your hate. Do I need to show you the door (err… the close button on the browser)?
Feel free to leave the blog and never return. It’s not like I’m holding you here or forcing to read this!
What?? You’re still here?
Then shut up and enjoy. There is plenty more to this story.
Error establishing a database connection This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at internal-db.s18810.gridserver.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password? Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running? If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
@$$$$ - thanks for the repost here. don't wanna give him pageviews.
so his mediatemple server isn't holding up well, eh? better watch out for that GPU overage bill this month.
he does sound like he's getting pissy. I'm proposing that EVERYONE boycott the site entirely. I'd propose that we entirely avoid any and all discussion of snowflake so that he knows for certain that we really don't care about him, other than seeing his white 'n whiney ass end up in jail. But, it's so much fun cutting up with you guys here I don't think I could resist... :)
I have the same phone (Sprint service, and my W2 employer pays for mine). Observations:
- He has voicemail that he has not listened to - He has the ringer turned off (must be in lender avoidance mode) - He has "no unread messages", so is either caught up on email (yeah, I know...) or doesn't use it for email - He has "no upcoming appointments", so nothing scheduled in the next few days, or he doesn't use it for appointments. - He has 21 (??) active tasks, and 81 (??) high priority tasks [hard to read the numbers].
@Lost Cause: Looks like techtard should have gotten the clustered MySQL package, too. He seems to have crashed his DB server... Either that or he screwed up what is a stupid simple process anyway.
He only gave me unreasonable commands, like “call the lenders and negotiate payments” when I didn’t even have stable income to count on every month and don’t know what to tell the lenders. Like it’s that easy! Ha Ha Ha, you little liar, or at best half truth teller. Didn't Duane also tell you to get a job or at least do some regular contract "job" type work for him? Have you forgotten that part already? Also, I don't recall Duane saying it would be easy, but then you don't do hard work or difficult things do you? Also, I'm not going THERE so often these days and you'll also find on the few occasions I do, I don't read your adverts as my browser is full of ad-blocking software.
"He only gave me unreasonable commands, like “call the lenders and negotiate payments” when I didn’t even have stable income to count on every month and don’t know what to tell the lenders. Like it’s that easy!"
I wish this sack o shit would get drafted to go to Iraq. Can anyone say "draft dodger?" "But wait officer, it's not really my country you know - I don't want to go over there - it's hot and there is jamba juice - have you ever been in a war - like it's that easy!!!"
Yeah, re: Duane... It seems to me like Duane was more than willing to help and tried hard to do so, but numbnuts™ didn't want to follow through and then posted confidential info on the blog (despite what he says). The relationship only lasted a month at most. And snowflake expects that Duane was going to teach him everything in that short of a time period?
Sorry, but I think Duane has the upper hand here. He's come clean about his story and given snowtard's record of truthiness, I think I'm gonna take DLG's word over his.
Don't worry - following the advice of the computer folks here I have blocked the ads and java script so that I may snatch posts from dickhead and run with them!!!
Did anyone notice Casey got his Google Adsense account back? How the heck did that happen? Google normally kicks you out for life if they ban you. With 300,000 visitors a month and his text link ads, he is probably raking in $4,000 to $5,000 a month!
Maybe he will be successful on the back of his failure. Now that he is foreclosed upon, why visit his damn site about being foreclosed upon? He's trying to pimp his site and is a complete viral marketer. What more can he say?
"Hello, my man purse got a new HELOC and I'm going to gamble it away in Tahoe. Click here to find out more..."
Or I'm noticing his new method of...
"Will G kick me to the curb for overdrafting $3 at Jamba Juice? Find out more from my sponsor, Judge Judy..."
At this point visiting his site is giving him more cash and he has run out of stuff. Fortunately by his declining traffic after the MSN article I'm glad the majority of readers agree.
There it was yesterday -- the most clearly reasoned post I have ever read, saying that e-mail becomes the recipient's property, and that Casey violated privacy with a post that led to his break up with Duane. And still today he cries -- it is in one ear, and out the other. There is just no help for the stupid.
@anonymous 1:21 - He only makes money on Google Ads and the in-text ads if people click on them. Don't click and he makes nothing.
He probably is using a different AdSense account or someone else's account to run Google ads. From what I understand, YSM generally pays more than AdSense. But, he did say at one point that they were holding something like $700 to review for click fraud.
He may or may not make a lot of money on his site. It won't be sustainable, though. There's no really useful info on the site.
Here's why: He's so damned self absorbed (NPD?) that he can't even begin to help anyone else. It's all about him. A "foreclosure help" site should focus on providing valuable user-oriented information. He's got nothing.
snowflake is acting like a petulant child because people are calling him on his behavior... it's like the little kid that throws a tantrum in the grocery store.
that, and the only thing he really has left is dead in the water. he is no more interesting than other train wrecks at this point, and they may have stickier and more compelling stories.
I won't ever post at your stupid site again, but you are probably on this site right now anyways - it gets a lot more action than either you or your inane blog does.
You are the biggest retard ever to walk the face of the earth - read what everyone is saying about you and take it to heart. This is the stupidest post of all time and you are getting a new asshole ripped for you by the real folks over here.
BTW, you jumped the shark a long time ago, you loser. Your blog is going to disappear in the next few weeks anyways - BORING!!
GET A JOB DICKHEAD! TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE DICKHEAD! STOP RUINING YOUR FAMILY'S NAME DICKHEAD! STOP LYING TO YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE DICKHEAD! YOU ARE NOT "FAMOUS" - YOU ARE "INFAMOUS" - LOOK IT UP DICKHEAD!
And yes, I know there is not a draft (my significant other is over there right now), but by god can't there be exceptions?????
why he wasn’t willing to give me any actual hand-holding with my situation.
He wants, nay, EXPECTS hand-holding and yet believes he's going to be a successful businessman? I continue to be amazed by this kid...... He should go to jail, if for no other reason than there, he will be told exactly what to do every moment of the day. He clearly needs the structure.
@LostCause That's what's bugged me all along. He acts like such a martyr but he is the one that invites he criticism. It really chaps my ass when he gets whiney and defensive. If he doesn't like it, WHY IS HE STILL HERE?
i am completely dumbfounded that snowflake expects handholding when given advice from somebody who climbed out of the hole with NO HELP WHATSOEVER. what a twit.
@ stephanie j
hear hear. snowflake doesn't want to work, he wants the easy out.
Heh. From Snowflake's site when I clicked over there
Dynamic database scaling in progress... Please stand by for a few moments. Our database system is currently scaling up to meet the demand of a recent surge in traffic. The site should be operational again in a few minutes. Thank you.
Wow, Below the Crowd, I found your post the other day so useful, especially reagrding quarterly updating the business plan and monthly financials. And it is also amazing to learn that Above the Crowd has gone kaput. You are an excellent blogger. Your blog is worth the time to check out.
When I read the part of Snowflake's post that read: Natural Tear Drops - keeps the eyes hydrated when the real estate investor is blogging his sweet deals late into the night.
I read it as: Natural Tear GAS - keeps the eyes hydrated when the real estate investor is blogging his sweet deals late into the night.
I about fell off my chair laughing as it fit equally well.
The money counter is down this week because I have enough to carry me through from last week. However, I will see if maybe I will do an update at the end of the week how much I’ve made this week and what we’ve been spending it on.
Hmmmm, what $2200 last week? Sorry you dickhead - after taxes you have NOT made $1,000 to carry you through this week. Snowflake will be dancing like a chicken to earn money next week.
"I will see if maybe I will do an update" - spare me the details.
Yeah, the money counter is down because Casey got through last week by selling ads for the **month** on his blog. He doesn't have a clue how to get through the rest of the month - although I am sure he will argue to Galina that "succeeding" for a week or two should be enough - surely she didn't mean that he was going to have to earn $1000 a week indefinitely.
Don't worry Casey, I suspect that your dream of being free and being able to live in your car is a lot closer than you think...
Dynamic database scaling in progress... Please stand by for a few moments. Our database system is currently scaling up to meet the demand of a recent surge in traffic. The site should be operational again in a few minutes. Thank you.
Is that GridServerSpeak™ for "our database is currently undergoing massive focused action"?
P.S. apologies to anyone who's recently deposited gold in my inbox, some sweet deals have been occupying my attention. Normal service should be restored tomorrow.
That is dickhead's loophole - the contract was to have a grand on the table THAT friday. I am sure he manipulated G on that one. "See how easy it is to earn $1,000 my sweet little wifey? I can pull it outta my ass if I have to. Now lay off, shut up and let me sleep."
I have some "gold" I'd like to deposit in his "box" alright.
You are only *assuming* that taxes are in the picture in the Caseyverse. They aren't! I'll guarantee you he will save nothing of what he gets towards taxes. He'll cross that debt when he comes to it.
@ All about Duane and E-mails that were published here on EN for our reading pleasure. When I am not following the Soap Opera here and at 'the other' blog, I am a Law and Order nut. Last night there was an episode about e-mails and 'privacy'. Now, not to loose (tm) sight of the fact that it is only a TV show about Lawyers and I am not an attorney, the case was about e- mails and who owns them, and the "expectation of privacy". The final gist of the decision by the Law and Order Judge? The E-mail belongs to the recipient and there is no expectation of privacy, just like any mail, letter or greeting card. Makes sense to me.
109. Aaron May 28th, 2007 at 2:47 pm Historically, mail received is always the property of the receiver, not the sender. The very act of sending it mostly gives the recipient the priviledge of doing whatever they like with it. That is what makes possible these books you see entitled _Collected Letters of Casey Serin_.
Someone brought up email disclaimers. These things are mostly useless at keeping information from getting out. At best, they are only a polite request. They are not a contract, as a contract requires consideration (exchange of value). There is no amount of legalese you can append to an email that will can legally bind the recipient.
The solution to these problems is non-disclosure agreements. These have a nice synergistic effect with other law, like trade secret protection. If Casey didn’t want Duane to say something, he should have asked to enter an NDA before he negotiated.
From an ethics standpoint, note that Casey has shared the contents of many letters to him over the course of this blog. Some of these letters were somewhat embarassing, which resulted in a few of them being removed. Also note that the real nail in the coffin of Casey’s relationship with Duane was Casey’s sharing a particular sensitive peice of information on this blog that likely may have caused Duane significant financial distress.
So, I don’t think Casey really has a leg to stand on here criticizing Duane’s decision.
This analogy is extreme, I know, but the way Casey is obviously 'grinning' through his misdeeds (pen for 'iron clad deals' and linking to the PRLINKBIZ post) and sort of winking it all off is really unattractive and kind of disgusting- it reminds of, as has been mentioned, of the OJ book 'how I WOULD have done it'. It's been said before: Casey needs a HARD slap across the face.
fwiw - I'm on my 3rd day of IAFF boycott. I'm getting all the IAFF Haterz lowdown I need from CaseyPedia and EN. It's not that hard to do and it's a great way to not contribute to your least favorite cause. I strongly recommend you too boycott IAFF.
(Of course at least one person has to cut'n'paste his posts over here and summarize the posts at CaseyPedia, but once that's complete you have no excuse for going over there.)
Oh yeah: Galina is a cyclops midget. Had to get that in there.
Maybe worth noting that Casey's "cash on the kitchen table" picture shows more than $1000 -- the depth of field prevents an accurate count, but it looks like $2000-$2500 to me.
Which seems odd, given that the Agreement required only $1000 on the table.
I have the answer for everything wrong with dickhead!!!! He suffers from "micro penis" syndrome:
"The range of things that can go wrong in the external genitalia and the way the penis may look and function, is an area bound up with images of maleness (or femaleness). The penis is so central to sexuality and sexual satisfaction that it has even influenced medical treatment. Since the mid 1950s and until quite recently, a child with a micropenis would be surgically realigned to a female and hormones given to enhance that change.
Many would argue that the decision was underpinned by the idea that was essentially, culturally and socially led, that a man must have a ‘normal’ penis size to be a man. Size really did seem to matter."
Dickhead ain't sure what he is - hence the murse, highlights and overall girlishness!!!!!
Wait til the visits drops to 3k/day, then 1k/day... he'll get increasingly desperate, anything to hold onto his 15 minutes. Give it a month and he'll be linking like Nigel used to and coming on here saying please go and visit my blog.
Yeah, he's still got a few cards up his sleeve. Pregnancy, getting kicked out (and thus following his dream of living in a car), getting served with divorce papers, CashCall breaking a knee cap (or the whole leg), men in black suits snooping around the v-dub, midnight rapings by the "homeless dude" from the blue car next to his, etc.
I haven't visited IAFF for about 2 weeks. I tried today and all I found was a minefield of ads.
Is there still a blog underneath all that?
I couldn't move my mouse 2 inches without having some obnoxious pop-up or other "clever" ad box fly out of nowhere covering up what I was trying to read. What a turnoff.
He is "done" as far as his blog is concerned. Some of us still put on armor and visit to see his website but as Jane Jacobs said; there is no there there.
@ Dawg, What will happen to all of the Haterz with no foreclosures, no IAFF, no train wreck to write funny stories about? Where does EN go after the KC Kool Aid runs dry?
Dawg, What will happen to all of the Haterz with no foreclosures, no IAFF, no train wreck to write funny stories about? Where does EN go after the KC Kool Aid runs dry?
That is a looong ways away. We have dozens of worthy subjects. Greg Swann is back on his heels for one. KC is a play mouse but we eat raw meat. KC is just an early casualty. We can take continue to take down the weak for years.
I'm not thinking that is much fun. We still have the "how did we get here" issues to discuss. That's why I sneak in the transportation, technology and political bits. Case6y is a product of the true subject; dysfunctional social institutions.
Thanks for the compliments. My blog has varied in usefulness (and in level of updates) depending on what I've been doing and what I've had to say. There have been long periods when I was working hard and covered by NDAs that made it all but impossible to pass along my thoughts.
To your comments, I find it virtually impossible to not update my financials monthly anymore. At the very least, I have to reconcile my bank accounts with Quickbooks, and since I'm paying myself salary, I also have to do those annoying things like deal with taxes, withholding, quarterlies, etc. Once it's set up, it's kind of a breeze to do, and gives me a great benchmark for how well I'm doing. For me, the primary metric is always a simple one: Am I doing well enough as an independent to justify staying self-employed? Truth be told, I probably make a bit less than I would in a W-2 situation. For me, the flexibility and ability to choose the projects I want rather than having them assigned are worth the financial cost, but I like to keep track of it.
And as to the business plan, it doesn't change much, but I've been able to add new areas for focus and improvement. Since I'm mostly selling myself, much of my business plan is focused on skills development, networking and marketing to new niches.
Once again, thanks for the shoutout. Do you think Casey is ever going to notice that one of those entrepreneurs is not a great example of a great marriage, or is he just going to start name-dropping?
OMG, Greg Swann kicked my internet A$$ in a flame war over his ethics, or rather lack thereof. What a self serving net Real E. State Clerk creep. He is a very deserving of the Haterz scrutiny, IMO.
Only loosers update their financials monthly. And REAL businessmen don't use anything called "Quickbooks" - I mean c'mon man, what in the hell is that? My wife says I'm quick enough already - I sure don't need to waste my hard earned money studying how to be quicker! And since you are paying yourself a salary, why don't you just hire a team to do that other stupid stuff you talked about - taxes, witholding, quarterlies? Or better yet - why even bother? Passive income means you don't have to do a damn thing - get with it man!
Oh yeah, read your plans for what you want to talk about Friday - glad you have that time to waste - I sure don't! Like I said, call me if you want to talk for a few minutes! I dictate what happens on my live at five buddy - not you!
I, alas. remain purseless. My "bag of tricks" is awesome but remains secret. Perhaps the dangly bits are enough? No, even then were you to discover the secrets of the dangly bits you'd have to be killed.
Beautiful day on the lovely gulf coast - really sucks to live in this pretty little house on the water. Damn you W2 job! Lord, why couldn't you have made me more like dickhead? Smart, savvy, entreprenurial - guess I will just have to be consoled with my positive net worth.
Since snowflake makes more then me, where the hell is his counter? How close is he to making the $1000 this week? OMG as the world turns, will Galina keep him? Will he be evicted? Will he escape the trap he is in? Stay tuned next week, same bat channel, same bat time.
Not likely, I have a business meeting starting half an hour before his talkcast. Depending on how long it goes, I might be able to join in late, but not counting on it.
Maybe some other time.
Besides, I think there is zero chance of him being prepped for any kind of a discussion.
In CaseyWorld, the $2200 (?) he "made" last week means he doesn't have to work this week.
In the RealWorld, we'd amortize the ad income over 4 weeks (and only claim 1 week's worth last week as 'earned income'), and/or bank it for a rainy day and be scrambling to make our $1K nut this week. [And, like Casey, I'll ignore the IRS -- for now...]
As you know, the discontinuity between CaseyWorld and RealWorld is what keeps us entertained and watching.
Week 3 will be tough for him, and week 4 unlikely. He'll of course have some of alternative universe spin to rationalize it.
Read this and then ask yourself how Casey stays out of jail
Also ask yourself - how will the feds fairly prosecute all the mortgage fraudsters? Or will they? ________________________ Canton Township man gets prison in mortgage fraud case
Paul Egan / The Detroit News
CANTON TOWNSHIP -- A man who told banks he had annual income of more than $1 million when in fact he was earning less than $25,000 on Social Security was sentenced to 56 months in prison in federal court today.
Scott Edward Ashley, 40, of Canton Township, pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud in November.
He admitted to using bogus documents to fraudulently obtain about $3.8 million in loans, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.
Ashley was also ordered to pay about $1.7 million in restitution.
Wow, that tampon comment made me laugh so hard I snorted! HAHA! But I think Casey is too semi-vegan for tampons, he probably wears one of those reusable mooncups. http://www.keeper.com/
I missed you Casey's Sex Life. Although life sounds fairly boring for you.
Ah yes, my dear Murses - it is quite lonely here at the top. I see myself as the man without a country - I am too advanced for the mortal world, and just a step away from the immortal one. The world where only the supremest of beings may come together to determine the fates of mere men such as yourself. I am the keeper of the blue balls - all ye bow down!
And yes I am bored shitless - will I ever get laid?
Lame. This is the best he can come up with? Who the hell is going to take real estate investing advise from KC?
He needs to do better than that if he wants people to keep coming to his site. That last post was flat out lame. I give it 3.5 weeks, and then his blog is gone.
I beg your forgiveness Murses, you hot mama mia! If you read the above post regarding my medical affliction (micro penis) you will understand that I am a bit confused when it comes to the boy/girl differences.
You missed me, huh? What are you doing tonight, you saucy little tamale?
I see that things are getting tense in the Caseysphere again. He's using the word "hate" and variations a lot more than usual. Either Nigel's back in play and writing copy for IAFF, or Snowflake's in an unusually deep down cycle.
I guess having your wife, brother, and former mentor turn into Haterz™ can do that to you.
Casey's latest post is a joke-- and that is not a compliment! How does this post further his goal of a 'foreclosure help site'? Actually, it hinders it.
Theory: Casey knows his blog is almost dead, and he won't be able to keep the 1000/week for much longer. Therefore, he letting out more anger and thumbing his nose at his critics... after all, what he has to loose (tm), his readership and pageviews, will be gone anyhow in a couple weeks due to his 1000/week failure.
Yeah, Casey's carefully constructed hang-loose itsallgood surfer dude persona is is starting to crumble under pressure, and we are starting to see more of the real angry Casey underneath. (Remember the Friday evening anonymous hate-fest on EN a few months ago? - who was behind that, I wonder.)
Whoever actually wrote the posting, Casey is enraged at the "jumped the shark" comments because he knows it's true - if he can't blog further about his marital troubles, he doesn't have a lot to blog about.

I think that's a reasonable theory. Unfortunately for KC, many/most of his critics have already left, and no longer read his trolls directly at IAFF.
I see Casey's posts through RSS. Since the connection is to feedburner.com I expect he doesn't get page hits from that.
I don't see any other decorations on the front page.
If Snowflake puts his weekly income earned back on his blog can somebody please post it, as I'm tracking the numbers. It looked all good until the end of last week; he had over-achieved. And then came Friday night's family feud, and the number disappeared, and so I have no idea whether he's claiming extra for last week or carrying the balance forward to this week.
Perhaps he's sleeping (except for masturbatory blogging about his murse). Perhaps he thinks the extra $1200 or so means he can sleep this whole week, and Saturday too.
So sercasey is taking a week off because he overachieved last week.
No thought to using the extra cash to pay off some lenders. $1k could make a small dent in Cashcall. If he can make $2k again this week he can pay another $1k to Cashcall. And if he can keep it up, thus eliminating his Cashcall debt in 10, maybe 15 weeks (after Cashcall applies their 96% interest rate).
Once again Casey shows ... no interest in paying back any debt.
Has anyone seen this? It mentions a couple properties I hadn't heard of -- Renee Ct in West Sac and High Mountain Rd in Smith River. Did Casey (aka Able Buyer) own these as well?
Yeah, I've seen it and a lot of the others did when online, for sure. In fact, your timing is good. You will recall at the last Talkshow Casey said his wife wasn't on any of his corporation papers... however, I believe I remember that she was somehow connected with the "Able and Finch" discoveries... I don't remember exactly but the answer is probably found in google-searching EN.
According to Zillow, the Renee Court address has not been bought/sold since 1998, so I would assume that Casey was just "shopping" that property to see if he could get some interest in it.
Yulia's place was by Ryland Homes in a subdivision called Lindenwood. Not knowing which plan she owns, here were the sales prices through 2005. Looks like she bought into the early release.
The purchase details: Seller Name RYLAND HOMES OF CALIFORNIA INC Lender Name RYLAND MORTGAGE CO Title Company FIRST AMERICAN TITLE Transfer Date June 20, 2005 Transfer Value $302,000 (Full) Transaction Type Sale
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Murseville nine that day; The score stood over -400 K, with but one inning more to play, And when Nigel erased and fled, and some haterz did the same, A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
Then from five thousand screens and more there rose a lusty yell; It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell; It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the bog, For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the blog.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he logged into his place; There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile lit Casey's face. And when, running out of ideas, he opened up the murse, No hater in the crowd could doubt Casey was beyond cursed.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he bent to clean the pool. Five thousand tongues clucked in scorn when he pulled Galina from her school. EAch day as writhing creditors mailed a sea of red-letter slips, Defiance flashed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lips.
And how the sweet deals came hurtling through the air! Yet Casey stood a-watching them in haughty grandeur there. Close by the sturdy blogsman the last chances unheeded sped. "That ain't my style," said Casey. "Pack and go!" Yulia said.
From the blogosphere, packed with eyeballs, there went up a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore; "Kill her! Kill the sis-in-law!" shouted supporterz on the stand; And it's likely they'd have killed her had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signaled to lenders, and once more the credit flew; Ignoring the haterz in his home, The famiily warning him, "Strike two!"
"Fraud!" cried the maddened haterz, and echo answered "Fraud!" But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn't let opportunity go by again.
The sneer has fled from Casey's lip, the teeth are clenched in hate; He pounds with cruel violence upon the locked-up gate. And now the little car is home, the dream realized at last, And now now a homeless blogger he, wife a memory long past.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout; But there is no joy in Murseville: MIGHTY CASEY HAS STRUCK OUT.
Casey no longer runs the blog. He is filtering out comments that point out his earnings with Google Adsense.
He is making money off this and has someone Ghostwriting his site.
1. He didn't post a few comments addressing how he got Google Adsense up.
2. He suddenly has a suspect domain host (whois it and look it up)
3. eCPM impressions are increasing with multiple page visits. All of a sudden this guy is a master SEO? Look at the meta on his site and it is professionally coded.
4. He is now raking hundreds a day that his site is properly monetized.
He is playing everyone the fool. As people flock to his site to laugh at his financial intelligence, he and whoever are behind his site are making some cash now.
The sweetest thing that could happen is folks simply ignore this person. An actor's worst nightmare is not being recognized.

Snowflake is getting serious hittage. 3x what EN is getting. Sorry folks, you are being monetized. He worked the blog life cycle perfectly. He is right at peak production right now. He knows what he is doing.
Thank you, glad you liked it. Quite suprised nobody thought of it earlier, to be honest. Probably somebody spending more time could riff it even better.
I can't take credit because I'm not registered...I don't live in the US and for some reason the blogger.com system here makes me jump through far too many hoops to make registering worthwhile. I am a frequent reader and sometimes-poster of EN, however, and thank you for your insights and for creating this community of intelligent souls.
Of course Casey has jumped the shark. He has new lame characters like LossMitPro (the Shemp of IAFF,) all that is left is for all of them to marry each other.
Not going there anymore. And probably going to slowly back off from commenting on this very much anymore, except where it's really relevant to anything else I want to say. Work is picking up...
I want Casey's story to end with a naked implement murder, HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS style. Blood spraying on wobbling breasts. Baffled, illiterate starlets. Low budget. Inexpensive ballpoint pens. Frequent flyer miles traded for boxes of cereal for the crew. Jonathan Ross jeering at you with his speech impediment. Elastic lasses with tics. You get the drift, and it's not in Tokyo this time, pardner. I want a Herschel Gordon Lewis plastic furniture cover number done on Casey, stat. WIZARD OF GORE without the style and grace. 2000 MANIACS without the sparkling wit. Hold the restraint, waiter, and bring me an extra order of BLOODSUCKING FREAKS.
I forget which forum I am on, but I will post this anyway, in the hope I selected the proper identity from the drop-down menu. I am DOOMPLAYER, I think. Or maybe R@YGOLD.
So I am reading Pick the Brain yesterday, and he says "I researched blogging and learned that it generally takes 9-12 months before a site begins to see significant traffic." Funny, that is exactly when Dear Boy decideds to monetize his blog. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!
IAFF is dropping in rankings - and it's organic! Almost off the first results page now.
I think that the obvious is just that. Only us haterz would even know how his grossly deformed blog came about.
Imagine you've gotten your first NOD and you google "foreclosure". You click on IAFF and find "Real Estate Investor Bage of Tricks" or "Sweet Links Sold Out".
This is like searching for "Body Building" and finding a site dedicated to gastric bypass surgery instead.
If he's got a ghost writer he may want to consider getting his money back.
Whatever momentum left from the old traffic may pull in a few bucks but it is obviously dying.
@anon 9:22: He suddenly has a suspect domain host (whois it and look it up)
GoDaddy? Same as it's ever been? Explain?
All of a sudden this guy is a master SEO? Look at the meta on his site and it is professionally coded.
He's had the meta description and keywords for as long as I've been reading IAFF. Nothing new.
We've been through the whole "Casey is being ghostwritten" / "Casey has sold the blog" flap before; it was nothing but fluff then, and I don't believe it now. It's still Casey at the wheel.
Holy shite. This guy takes more fracking vacations than normal working people who take care of their debts.
What a twit. Are we sure he isn't trolling us? If he is using the extra $1500 to vacation, he must assume he will magically make the extra appear for the other two weeks, right? If so, I have to then ask where he's getting the money and that would prove I was right on the call. I bet that he couldn't sustain it and we will win.
Click "other" instead of "anonymous", and type in whatever fake name you want to go by. That's what those of us who don't have accounts, or have accounts but can't be bothered to log, in do.
GMAFB, the real Casey is on vacation with the "other" $1500 and this is not him on his best manic peak.

The Murse is yours, I got first.
Naa Naaaa Naaaaaa.
Any Photoshoppers able to get anything off the screen of the PDA?
(large version)
I agree. It is definitely not Casey's writing style.
This is the post where I officially stop reading or visiting IAFF forever... Pitiful.
I mean, HOLY SHIT!, that is a lot of credit cards and he carries them with him! Why hasn't he run them through a shredder? Any quite frankly, even though he "jokingly" says it, any mention of a stolen credit card on his site should probably be taken at least somewhat seriously. I wouldn't put identity theft past the little f**ker.
Your benevolent dictator (of the moment thus) speaks:
I did not read the IAFF exudation of the day. I will not. From what has apeared here it is so blatant an attempt at soliciting pageviews that the only ethical act would be to ignore. Awww, hell. No. Not ignore, just not visit.
"dm" is correct. Any sane person would have shredded 30 of the 34 cards.
EVERYONE is correct, this is not the fliptard typing.
Yeah, the writing style has a different tone... Not sure what Nigel's writing style is, since I've never read a word he's written. (Other than "My point is this is algae from the sun.") Galina, maybe?
would you post the posting?
What happened to the nice formatting over at the caseypedia?

Real Estate Investor Bag of Tricks
From my pictures many of you have noticed my constant companion on my real estate investing adventures: my “manbag” (incorrectly identified by some as “murse”).
Real Estate Investor's Bag of Tricks [enlarge photo]
It’s time to show you what’s inside the Real Estate Investor’s Bag of Tricks. Here are the contents:
Victorinox bag made by the makers of Swiss Army Knife - just the right color and style for the real estate investor to wear it with casual clothes as well as semi-dressed up. It completely zips up to keep all the contents safe. Real estate investor can even run with it - to catch somebody or run away from somebody.
Wallet with Credit Cards and No Cash - a real estate investor does NOT carry cash in this matching genuine leather wallet. It’s not safe and if you don’t have it you won’t spend it on impulsive deals. Smart real estate investor maxes out all the credit cards into great investments in order to increase cash-on-cash return. Also when there is no credit available a stolen card can do no harm.
Hacky Sac - for when the real estate investor is bored, like a the foreclosure auction.
The Original ALTOIDS Peppermints - the only kind that the real estate investor will ever put in his/her mouth. These keep the investor’s social networking going smooth at real estate investor clubs. Nobody likes a real estate investor with bad breath. These are the only mints strong enough to even overcome the wheat grass aftertaste.
Natural Tear Drops - keeps the eyes hydrated when the real estate investor is blogging his sweet deals late into the night.
PDA Cellphone - no real estate investor can go without a smart communication device - a blend of a PDA and cellphone. Keeps all the contacts, todos, and appointments synced with Outlook and within easy reach. Many a sweet deals have been done on this phone. Wireless internet allows moderating comments and blogging remotely. This phone is specially designed to help real estate investor dodge pesky collector calls during occasional lender-ignore mode.
Win-Win Deal Pen - not just an ordinary pen, the real estate investor uses this pen to sign win-win contracts, iron-clad partnership agreements and $50,000 promissory notes. This Win-Win Deal Pen comes equipped with built-in clock and stylus tip for use with the touch-screen PDA. As with all vital equipment the real estate investor demands the very best.
Connections Notepad - even in this digital age a smart real estate investor understand the value of good-ol’ paper when it comes to quickly jotting down a sweet deal lead from a birddog or taking down vital contact info for an important connection while networking.
Digital Voice Recorder - real estate investor must record important conversations and negotiations for training purposes.
Minolta 2-Megapixel Digital Camera (not shown) - to take all the semi-staged and famous pictures.
Million Dollar Bill - for the real estate investor to stay focused.
Filed under photos, sweet media, other stuff
He is a Uzbek gypsy and general scumbag.
Hey Konstantin (I know you read this site), $100 says that you have cards in that pile that don't have your name on them.
Own up, you cunting half a man little punkass bitch.
There are duplicates (cards) must be Galinas.
@dm: the writing style has a different tone...
No, it's Casey. He's been reading CaseyPedia (he deletes comments that link to it, and it's hard to ignore given that it's his #1 incoming link at the moment) and is trying to capture the valuable snarky demographic.
But really: he's run out of topics. Can't touch the wife and family any more (and I'll bet he got a rocket for the last post); the foreclosure dramas are over; the slow debt stuff is boring; poking fun at himself is a desperate attempt to find something, anything, to say to keep the traffic up and the advertisers happy. It sounds forced because it is.
The pissy comment reacting to the "jumped the shark" comments is pure Serin.
I would bet that this post was received as a comment from someone and Casey posted it as his own. Copying and pasting seems to be the only thing he is good at. Oh wait a minute - remember the cut and paste comment he made about acquiring gold - as a "hedge against the upcoming war?" What a lying little schmuck
Heh: IAFF appears to be flaking out again. Go Go Gadget Grid Server!
That site is up and down like a ten cent whore on saturday night.
Hacked by Timeline Guy or some other evildoer?
http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070516/UPDATE/705160471/1003
Maybe Casey is in prison. Turns out what he did is illegal. No $hit, it really is and some one has gone to jail for it.
For the boycotters:
Another post full of a whole lot of nothing...

I've been reading sercasey since last October, his style is unmistakable. He's never used phrases such as "Many a deal..." and "a stolen card can do no harm". These are phrases that are just not in his vocabulary. Not to be confused with phrases he doesn't understand like, telling the truth and paying back every dirty penny. This can't be him unless they've finally adjusted his meds.
Artificial teardrops -- perfect for the emotionless, amoral, million dollar baby.
Do you think this is his not so subtle bid to have these items put on Caseypedia?
@lawnmower man: The pissy comment reacting to the "jumped the shark" comments is pure Serin.
i must have missed that one. don't have time to wade through his comments. ya know, work interfering again...
the first thing i thought when i read the post, though, is: "man, he really has run out of stuff to write about, hasn't he?"
looks like we just hit the 15:01 mark...
@$$$
Thanks for the post. The little wanker feeds off his page views--they're all he has now, and once his advertisers realize no one's going there, they will die off. I really don't want to support his lunacy in any way.
Also, Rob Dawg: "GMAFB"? I don wanna be the last ta know.
Altoids and eye drops.
Methinks that KC is "burning" the candle are all three ends.
iron-clad partnership agreements
LOL!

The point of the post is comic relief. People take themselves way too seriously around here. Gotta relax a bit. Chill.
Also, many have been wondering what’s inside. So here you go.
The Foreclosure Friday Show
Not sure who will be on the upcoming Foreclosure Friday’s show. Still putting it together. Everybody is welcome to call-in of course.
I’ll try do less “interrupting and manipulating”. I don’t think I do much of that but a few people complained about it. Look guys, I gotta keep the flow going and can’t let people tie up the line for 30 minutes. Also, when people ask me a very vague question I like to ask clarifying questions. That’s all. Some people can’t handle it though. I’ll try to be more nice though.
On Duane LeGate
Aside from violating my privacy he pisses me off by criticizing me for making an honest buck or two from this website. Here I’m doing something good and I get all this hate from the guy who says “he has my best interest at heart”.
Still, I should be more courteous to people, hater or not. I feel kind of bad hanging up on him on the last episode after he started ripping into me again.
If Duane calls on the next show, I will take his call and give him a chance to talk a little.
Maybe he can explain to me how he paid off $700,000 of unsecured debt (so he claims) without any additional borrowing or doing any business and why he wasn’t willing to give me any actual hand-holding with my situation.
He only gave me unreasonable commands, like “call the lenders and negotiate payments” when I didn’t even have stable income to count on every month and don’t know what to tell the lenders. Like it’s that easy!
I have a lot more to say… I may do a whole post on this or save it till the show..

To everybody that keeps saying “I’m jumping the shark” with this post or the other.
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE THEN??
Stop clogging up the comments and spreading your hate. Do I need to show you the door (err… the close button on the browser)?
Feel free to leave the blog and never return. It’s not like I’m holding you here or forcing to read this!
What?? You’re still here?
Then shut up and enjoy. There is plenty more to this story.
yeah, he's probably been noting how his sitemeter graphs are starting to slide big time... hasn't broken 6k in 4 days now...
What?? You’re still here?
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at internal-db.s18810.gridserver.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
@$$$$ - thanks for the repost here. don't wanna give him pageviews.
so his mediatemple server isn't holding up well, eh? better watch out for that GPU overage bill this month.
he does sound like he's getting pissy. I'm proposing that EVERYONE boycott the site entirely. I'd propose that we entirely avoid any and all discussion of snowflake so that he knows for certain that we really don't care about him, other than seeing his white 'n whiney ass end up in jail. But, it's so much fun cutting up with you guys here I don't think I could resist... :)
I have the same phone (Sprint service, and my W2 employer pays for mine). Observations:
- He has voicemail that he has not listened to
- He has the ringer turned off (must be in lender avoidance mode)
- He has "no unread messages", so is either caught up on email (yeah, I know...) or doesn't use it for email
- He has "no upcoming appointments", so nothing scheduled in the next few days, or he doesn't use it for appointments.
- He has 21 (??) active tasks, and 81 (??) high priority tasks [hard to read the numbers].
@Lost Cause: Looks like techtard should have gotten the clustered MySQL package, too. He seems to have crashed his DB server... Either that or he screwed up what is a stupid simple process anyway.
He only gave me unreasonable commands, like “call the lenders and negotiate payments” when I didn’t even have stable income to count on every month and don’t know what to tell the lenders. Like it’s that easy!
Ha Ha Ha, you little liar, or at best half truth teller. Didn't Duane also tell you to get a job or at least do some regular contract "job" type work for him? Have you forgotten that part already? Also, I don't recall Duane saying it would be easy, but then you don't do hard work or difficult things do you?
Also, I'm not going THERE so often these days and you'll also find on the few occasions I do, I don't read your adverts as my browser is full of ad-blocking software.
"He only gave me unreasonable commands, like “call the lenders and negotiate payments” when I didn’t even have stable income to count on every month and don’t know what to tell the lenders. Like it’s that easy!"
I wish this sack o shit would get drafted to go to Iraq. Can anyone say "draft dodger?" "But wait officer, it's not really my country you know - I don't want to go over there - it's hot and there is jamba juice - have you ever been in a war - like it's that easy!!!"
GET A JOB DICKHEAD!!!
High priority tasks is probably 8 or 9, not 81.
Yeah, re: Duane... It seems to me like Duane was more than willing to help and tried hard to do so, but numbnuts™ didn't want to follow through and then posted confidential info on the blog (despite what he says). The relationship only lasted a month at most. And snowflake expects that Duane was going to teach him everything in that short of a time period?
Sorry, but I think Duane has the upper hand here. He's come clean about his story and given snowtard's record of truthiness, I think I'm gonna take DLG's word over his.
No jamba juice for you serin!
Don't worry - following the advice of the computer folks here I have blocked the ads and java script so that I may snatch posts from dickhead and run with them!!!
Did anyone notice Casey got his Google Adsense account back? How the heck did that happen? Google normally kicks you out for life if they ban you. With 300,000 visitors a month and his text link ads, he is probably raking in $4,000 to $5,000 a month!
Maybe he will be successful on the back of his failure. Now that he is foreclosed upon, why visit his damn site about being foreclosed upon? He's trying to pimp his site and is a complete viral marketer. What more can he say?
"Hello, my man purse got a new HELOC and I'm going to gamble it away in Tahoe. Click here to find out more..."
Or I'm noticing his new method of...
"Will G kick me to the curb for overdrafting $3 at Jamba Juice? Find out more from my sponsor, Judge Judy..."
At this point visiting his site is giving him more cash and he has run out of stuff. Fortunately by his declining traffic after the MSN article I'm glad the majority of readers agree.
There it was yesterday -- the most clearly reasoned post I have ever read, saying that e-mail becomes the recipient's property, and that Casey violated privacy with a post that led to his break up with Duane. And still today he cries -- it is in one ear, and out the other. There is just no help for the stupid.
Yes to the boycott. Let's not give him a single dirty penny, damnit!
Yes, he *is* pissy.
Like a 14 y/o girl.
@$$$$
Umm...you do know there is no draft, right?
I thought the notepad was hilarious, he's trolling hard. It's suppoes to say 'SF building, meeting, corp credit".
Yeah, Casey, you're SO sly.
Shithead.
So Dawg. Who you got lined up for Friday? :)
@anonymous 1:21 - He only makes money on Google Ads and the in-text ads if people click on them. Don't click and he makes nothing.
He probably is using a different AdSense account or someone else's account to run Google ads. From what I understand, YSM generally pays more than AdSense. But, he did say at one point that they were holding something like $700 to review for click fraud.
He may or may not make a lot of money on his site. It won't be sustainable, though. There's no really useful info on the site.
Here's why: He's so damned self absorbed (NPD?) that he can't even begin to help anyone else. It's all about him. A "foreclosure help" site should focus on providing valuable user-oriented information. He's got nothing.
I've inventoried the items from the murse... where are the tampax?
snowflake is acting like a petulant child because people are calling him on his behavior... it's like the little kid that throws a tantrum in the grocery store.
that, and the only thing he really has left is dead in the water. he is no more interesting than other train wrecks at this point, and they may have stickier and more compelling stories.
Hey Casey,
I won't ever post at your stupid site again, but you are probably on this site right now anyways - it gets a lot more action than either you or your inane blog does.
You are the biggest retard ever to walk the face of the earth - read what everyone is saying about you and take it to heart. This is the stupidest post of all time and you are getting a new asshole ripped for you by the real folks over here.
BTW, you jumped the shark a long time ago, you loser. Your blog is going to disappear in the next few weeks anyways - BORING!!
GET A JOB DICKHEAD!
TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE DICKHEAD!
STOP RUINING YOUR FAMILY'S NAME DICKHEAD!
STOP LYING TO YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE DICKHEAD!
YOU ARE NOT "FAMOUS" - YOU ARE "INFAMOUS" - LOOK IT UP DICKHEAD!
And yes, I know there is not a draft (my significant other is over there right now), but by god can't there be exceptions?????
@stephanie j: where are the tampax?
his time of the month. THAT'S why he's pissy... :)
why he wasn’t willing to give me any actual hand-holding with my situation.
He wants, nay, EXPECTS hand-holding and yet believes he's going to be a successful businessman? I continue to be amazed by this kid...... He should go to jail, if for no other reason than there, he will be told exactly what to do every moment of the day. He clearly needs the structure.
Yes, but by 'hand-holding' he really means 'do it for me'.
Remember, it was Casey who started using the word "haterz." He brings this on himself.
or "do it to me"
@LostCause
That's what's bugged me all along. He acts like such a martyr but he is the one that invites he criticism. It really chaps my ass when he gets whiney and defensive. If he doesn't like it, WHY IS HE STILL HERE?
Argh.
@ anonymous 1:32
i am completely dumbfounded that snowflake expects handholding when given advice from somebody who climbed out of the hole with NO HELP WHATSOEVER. what a twit.
@ stephanie j
hear hear. snowflake doesn't want to work, he wants the easy out.
Yeah, I am tired of reading his taunts. I really have too many things to do right now. I cannot afford to follow this useless cretin anymore.
If I want to read about entitled criminals henceforth, I will just pick up the newspaper, and turn to the 'Politics' section.
As I posted elsewhere, this was my challenge to him:
An Open Letter to Casey Serin (and shameless plug to my own non-monetized blog)
I will take any bet, of any size, at any odds, from anybody who believes he will take me up on my offer. (Hint, it involves actual work.)

Heh. From Snowflake's site when I clicked over there

Wow, Below the Crowd, I found your post the other day so useful, especially reagrding quarterly updating the business plan and monthly financials. And it is also amazing to learn that Above the Crowd has gone kaput. You are an excellent blogger. Your blog is worth the time to check out.
Long time lurker, first time posting.
When I read the part of Snowflake's post that read:
Natural Tear Drops - keeps the eyes hydrated when the real estate investor is blogging his sweet deals late into the night.
I read it as:

I about fell off my chair laughing as it fit equally well.

The money counter is down this week because I have enough to carry me through from last week. However, I will see if maybe I will do an update at the end of the week how much I’ve made this week and what we’ve been spending it on.
@Stephanie
Yeah, Casey is a classic troll, complete with diminutive stature and funny dress.
Hmmmm, what $2200 last week? Sorry you dickhead - after taxes you have NOT made $1,000 to carry you through this week. Snowflake will be dancing like a chicken to earn money next week.
"I will see if maybe I will do an update" - spare me the details.
Yeah, the money counter is down because Casey got through last week by selling ads for the **month** on his blog. He doesn't have a clue how to get through the rest of the month - although I am sure he will argue to Galina that "succeeding" for a week or two should be enough - surely she didn't mean that he was going to have to earn $1000 a week indefinitely.
Don't worry Casey, I suspect that your dream of being free and being able to live in your car is a lot closer than you think...
Woohoo - dickhead has "three premium spots left"!!! Any takers?
Dynamic database scaling

Please stand by for a few moments. Our database system is currently scaling up to meet the demand of a recent surge in traffic. The site should be operational again in a few minutes. Thank you.
Is that GridServerSpeak™ for "our database is currently undergoing massive focused action"?
P.S. apologies to anyone who's recently deposited gold in my inbox, some sweet deals have been occupying my attention. Normal service should be restored tomorrow.
@Uzbecki
That is dickhead's loophole - the contract was to have a grand on the table THAT friday. I am sure he manipulated G on that one. "See how easy it is to earn $1,000 my sweet little wifey? I can pull it outta my ass if I have to. Now lay off, shut up and let me sleep."
I have some "gold" I'd like to deposit in his "box" alright.
Typical Casey, instead of looking at the extra money as a windfall, he's going to only earn enough each week to keep his wife off his back.
Most rational people would go, "Wow, look at how much i made, over twice of what i targeted! I wanna do it again!"
No, our anti-hero decides that it's earned him a week of naps and googling for his name.
Yeah, we have the next Donald Trump here. No doubt.
You are only *assuming* that taxes are in the picture in the Caseyverse. They aren't! I'll guarantee you he will save nothing of what he gets towards taxes. He'll cross that debt when he comes to it.
@ All about Duane and E-mails that were published here on EN for our reading pleasure.
When I am not following the Soap Opera here and at 'the other' blog, I am a Law and Order nut. Last night there was an episode about e-mails and 'privacy'.
Now, not to loose (tm) sight of the fact that it is only a TV show about Lawyers and I am not an attorney, the case was about e- mails and who owns them, and the "expectation of privacy".
The final gist of the decision by the Law and Order Judge? The E-mail belongs to the recipient and there is no expectation of privacy, just like any mail, letter or greeting card.
Makes sense to me.
Since when is Kimber from NLL writing Casey's posts?
I BEG one of you Photoshop gurus (Vague guru - where are you??) to put dickhead in Borat's thong. PLEASE!
I'd be glad to give taht a whirl, Spacey, but I can only do P-shop from home; so were' talking another......... 3 hours or so?

Historically, mail received is always the property of the receiver, not the sender. The very act of sending it mostly gives the recipient the priviledge of doing whatever they like with it. That is what makes possible these books you see entitled _Collected Letters of Casey Serin_.
Someone brought up email disclaimers. These things are mostly useless at keeping information from getting out. At best, they are only a polite request. They are not a contract, as a contract requires consideration (exchange of value). There is no amount of legalese you can append to an email that will can legally bind the recipient.
The solution to these problems is non-disclosure agreements. These have a nice synergistic effect with other law, like trade secret protection. If Casey didn’t want Duane to say something, he should have asked to enter an NDA before he negotiated.
From an ethics standpoint, note that Casey has shared the contents of many letters to him over the course of this blog. Some of these letters were somewhat embarassing, which resulted in a few of them being removed. Also note that the real nail in the coffin of Casey’s relationship with Duane was Casey’s sharing a particular sensitive peice of information on this blog that likely may have caused Duane significant financial distress.
So, I don’t think Casey really has a leg to stand on here criticizing Duane’s decision.
I thought this was worth cross posting here.
@GooGooGaga: As Stephanie pointed out, Snowflake's "box" is not in any condition to put anything in this week. Except tampax...
@FMV: Yeah, I saw that one, too. Interesting how life connects in strange places sometimes... :)
This analogy is extreme, I know, but the way Casey is obviously 'grinning' through his misdeeds (pen for 'iron clad deals' and linking to the PRLINKBIZ post) and sort of winking it all off is really unattractive and kind of disgusting- it reminds of, as has been mentioned, of the OJ book 'how I WOULD have done it'. It's been said before: Casey needs a HARD slap across the face.
I'm back!!! Here is the update on what I have been up to the last week:
Oops - guess I don't have anything to report. Maybe some sweet action to shut up and enjoy next week. Stay tuned!
Wine Country Guy "GMFB" I beleive is Give Me a F@cking Break.
fwiw - I'm on my 3rd day of IAFF boycott. I'm getting all the IAFF Haterz lowdown I need from CaseyPedia and EN. It's not that hard to do and it's a great way to not contribute to your least favorite cause. I strongly recommend you too boycott IAFF.
(Of course at least one person has to cut'n'paste his posts over here and summarize the posts at CaseyPedia, but once that's complete you have no excuse for going over there.)
Oh yeah: Galina is a cyclops midget. Had to get that in there.
Maybe worth noting that Casey's "cash on the kitchen table" picture shows more than $1000 -- the depth of field prevents an accurate count, but it looks like $2000-$2500 to me.
Which seems odd, given that the Agreement required only $1000 on the table.
jack bauer ROCKS...
I would love to see an episode of 24 based on Casey's life --what would the split screen look like:
Casey napping, Nigel blogging, Galina scrubbing toilets, and Homey DA preparing an indictment...
I have the answer for everything wrong with dickhead!!!! He suffers from "micro penis" syndrome:
"The range of things that can go wrong in the external genitalia and the way the penis may look and function, is an area bound up with images of maleness (or femaleness). The penis is so central to sexuality and sexual satisfaction that it has even influenced medical treatment. Since the mid 1950s and until quite recently, a child with a micropenis would be surgically realigned to a female and hormones given to enhance that change.
Many would argue that the decision was underpinned by the idea that was essentially, culturally and socially led, that a man must have a ‘normal’ penis size to be a man. Size really did seem to matter."
Dickhead ain't sure what he is - hence the murse, highlights and overall girlishness!!!!!
Wait til the visits drops to 3k/day, then 1k/day... he'll get increasingly desperate, anything to hold onto his 15 minutes.
Give it a month and he'll be linking like Nigel used to and coming on here saying please go and visit my blog.
I wish someone, anyone, would come visit me, dammit. O Nigel, come out, come out from where ever u are!
There may yet be a fair amount of amusement value in watching Casey thrash ever more desperately in a failing effort to keep his visits up...
@usbecki durak
Yeah, he's still got a few cards up his sleeve. Pregnancy, getting kicked out (and thus following his dream of living in a car), getting served with divorce papers, CashCall breaking a knee cap (or the whole leg), men in black suits snooping around the v-dub, midnight rapings by the "homeless dude" from the blue car next to his, etc.
I haven't visited IAFF for about 2 weeks. I tried today and all I found was a minefield of ads.
Is there still a blog underneath all that?
I couldn't move my mouse 2 inches without having some obnoxious pop-up or other "clever" ad box fly out of nowhere covering up what I was trying to read. What a turnoff.
Is he done yet?
What is a clever ad box fly?
Casey's new pet?
I bet it is 'holding him back'.
Te He tee heee
I wonder how long it'll be before he resorts to pop-ups.
Casey would be better off thinking with this head than the one on his frail little shoulders!
Jilly,
He is "done" as far as his blog is concerned. Some of us still put on armor and visit to see his website but as Jane Jacobs said; there is no there there.
@ Dawg,
What will happen to all of the Haterz with no foreclosures, no IAFF, no train wreck to write funny stories about?
Where does EN go after the KC Kool Aid runs dry?
Yeah, he's still got a few cards up his sleeve. Pregnancy, ...
Pregnancy?! That'd certainly be a newsworthy event.
Oh, you mean Galina.
FMW,
"Feel free to leave the blog and never return. It’s not like I’m holding you here or forcing to read this!
What?? You’re still here?
Then shut up and enjoy. There is plenty more to this story."
That will put you in your place you little monkey! I still have my virginity to loose!

That is a looong ways away. We have dozens of worthy subjects. Greg Swann is back on his heels for one. KC is a play mouse but we eat raw meat. KC is just an early casualty. We can take continue to take down the weak for years.
I'm not thinking that is much fun. We still have the "how did we get here" issues to discuss. That's why I sneak in the transportation, technology and political bits. Case6y is a product of the true subject; dysfunctional social institutions.
and have my highlights touched up!
Wait till I spring my "happy ending" on everyone!
Lost Cause,
Thanks for the compliments. My blog has varied in usefulness (and in level of updates) depending on what I've been doing and what I've had to say. There have been long periods when I was working hard and covered by NDAs that made it all but impossible to pass along my thoughts.
To your comments, I find it virtually impossible to not update my financials monthly anymore. At the very least, I have to reconcile my bank accounts with Quickbooks, and since I'm paying myself salary, I also have to do those annoying things like deal with taxes, withholding, quarterlies, etc. Once it's set up, it's kind of a breeze to do, and gives me a great benchmark for how well I'm doing. For me, the primary metric is always a simple one: Am I doing well enough as an independent to justify staying self-employed? Truth be told, I probably make a bit less than I would in a W-2 situation. For me, the flexibility and ability to choose the projects I want rather than having them assigned are worth the financial cost, but I like to keep track of it.
And as to the business plan, it doesn't change much, but I've been able to add new areas for focus and improvement. Since I'm mostly selling myself, much of my business plan is focused on skills development, networking and marketing to new niches.
Once again, thanks for the shoutout. Do you think Casey is ever going to notice that one of those entrepreneurs is not a great example of a great marriage, or is he just going to start name-dropping?
-btc
OMG, Greg Swann kicked my internet A$$ in a flame war over his ethics, or rather lack thereof.
What a self serving net Real E. State Clerk creep.
He is a very deserving of the Haterz scrutiny, IMO.
Casey's attempt to "rehab" his persona by hiring a ghost blogger to do the murse bit was painfully lame.
His success at that rehab attempt is gonig to end up just as successful as his RE rehab attempts.
Abject, dismal, complete, pitiful, horrific, lonely, spectacular failure.
@ Dawg,
Whats in your purse?
Hey BTC,
Only loosers update their financials monthly. And REAL businessmen don't use anything called "Quickbooks" - I mean c'mon man, what in the hell is that? My wife says I'm quick enough already - I sure don't need to waste my hard earned money studying how to be quicker! And since you are paying yourself a salary, why don't you just hire a team to do that other stupid stuff you talked about - taxes, witholding, quarterlies? Or better yet - why even bother? Passive income means you don't have to do a damn thing - get with it man!
Oh yeah, read your plans for what you want to talk about Friday - glad you have that time to waste - I sure don't! Like I said, call me if you want to talk for a few minutes! I dictate what happens on my live at five buddy - not you!
@ soem dude
will KC be covered with algae too?
He is already slimy and the algae will make him just like the pool from hell.
Sorry, but I can't quit humming "blue balls keep fallin on my head" - O witty ENers - what can be dickhead's theme song??

I, alas. remain purseless. My "bag of tricks" is awesome but remains secret. Perhaps the dangly bits are enough? No, even then were you to discover the secrets of the dangly bits you'd have to be killed.
Some dude spread his legs while sitting down in front of me yesterday and I saw his machinery. Are dangly bits the same thing?
Beautiful day on the lovely gulf coast - really sucks to live in this pretty little house on the water. Damn you W2 job! Lord, why couldn't you have made me more like dickhead? Smart, savvy, entreprenurial - guess I will just have to be consoled with my positive net worth.
Who needs Steve Serin for president when you could have Below the Crowd! I have jumped the shark and switched political parties! Hip Hip Hooray!
Give dickhead an earful Friday BTC! I am your staunchest supporter!
Since snowflake makes more then me, where the hell is his counter? How close is he to making the $1000 this week? OMG as the world turns, will Galina keep him? Will he be evicted? Will he escape the trap he is in? Stay tuned next week, same bat channel, same bat time.
Guys,
Not likely, I have a business meeting starting half an hour before his talkcast. Depending on how long it goes, I might be able to join in late, but not counting on it.
Maybe some other time.
Besides, I think there is zero chance of him being prepped for any kind of a discussion.
-btc
Only loosers have business meetings with other people BTC! And I don't need to prep - I have a college credit under my belt, buddy!
@Joe Dirt,
In CaseyWorld, the $2200 (?) he "made" last week means he doesn't have to work this week.
In the RealWorld, we'd amortize the ad income over 4 weeks (and only claim 1 week's worth last week as 'earned income'), and/or bank it for a rainy day and be scrambling to make our $1K nut this week. [And, like Casey, I'll ignore the IRS -- for now...]
As you know, the discontinuity between CaseyWorld and RealWorld is what keeps us entertained and watching.
Week 3 will be tough for him, and week 4 unlikely. He'll of course have some of alternative universe spin to rationalize it.
From Housingpanic.blogspot.com
Read this and then ask yourself how Casey stays out of jail
Also ask yourself - how will the feds fairly prosecute all the mortgage fraudsters? Or will they?

Canton Township man gets prison in mortgage fraud case
Paul Egan / The Detroit News
CANTON TOWNSHIP -- A man who told banks he had annual income of more than $1 million when in fact he was earning less than $25,000 on Social Security was sentenced to 56 months in prison in federal court today.
Scott Edward Ashley, 40, of Canton Township, pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud in November.
He admitted to using bogus documents to fraudulently obtain about $3.8 million in loans, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.
Ashley was also ordered to pay about $1.7 million in restitution.

@ StephanieJ
Wow, that tampon comment made me laugh so hard I snorted! HAHA! But I think Casey is too semi-vegan for tampons, he probably wears one of those reusable mooncups. http://www.keeper.com/
I missed you Casey's Sex Life. Although life sounds fairly boring for you.
Ah yes, my dear Murses - it is quite lonely here at the top. I see myself as the man without a country - I am too advanced for the mortal world, and just a step away from the immortal one. The world where only the supremest of beings may come together to determine the fates of mere men such as yourself. I am the keeper of the blue balls - all ye bow down!
And yes I am bored shitless - will I ever get laid?
Lame. This is the best he can come up with? Who the hell is going to take real estate investing advise from KC?
He needs to do better than that if he wants people to keep coming to his site. That last post was flat out lame. I give it 3.5 weeks, and then his blog is gone.
Murses is not a man! Caseys Sex Life, you watch yourself. It is well known that murses are female and only to be worn by metrosexuals.
I beg your forgiveness Murses, you hot mama mia! If you read the above post regarding my medical affliction (micro penis) you will understand that I am a bit confused when it comes to the boy/girl differences.
You missed me, huh? What are you doing tonight, you saucy little tamale?
EEEWWWWWW, LOVE TO LOVE YOU MANBAG!
I think I'm playing with that one million dollar bill *said in my Doctor Evil voice* that Casey had pictured on his page. Sweet.
Hot blooded, check it and see
I got a body weight of 103
Two of those bills could be in your hands tonight ..... if you know what I mean "wink, wink"
Sorry, I only have a hacky sack and some eye drops on me...
Trying to get those highlights again
I gotta get those highlights, gotta get those highlights....
I gotta get those highlights again
and again
and AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your loss Murses, cause with one of these (pointing to my nethers) I can get lots of you!
I see how well that has worked so far...
damn, even vinyl wants no part of me..............
I'm pleather
I see that things are getting tense in the Caseysphere again. He's using the word "hate" and variations a lot more than usual. Either Nigel's back in play and writing copy for IAFF, or Snowflake's in an unusually deep down cycle.
I guess having your wife, brother, and former mentor turn into Haterz™ can do that to you.
re Allison Stokke: clicky
Sorry Murses, can't afford the pleather just yet - you are vinyl! So deal with it!
Casey's latest post is a joke-- and that is not a compliment! How does this post further his goal of a 'foreclosure help site'? Actually, it hinders it.
Theory: Casey knows his blog is almost dead, and he won't be able to keep the 1000/week for much longer. Therefore, he letting out more anger and thumbing his nose at his critics... after all, what he has to loose (tm), his readership and pageviews, will be gone anyhow in a couple weeks due to his 1000/week failure.
hello ogg - looking mighty yummy in that loin cloth............
damn - everyone always disappears whenever I show up........
I am soooo lonely.
Will he blog next time he farts?
and hundreds will type their comments about it?
Yeah, Casey's carefully constructed hang-loose itsallgood surfer dude persona is is starting to crumble under pressure, and we are starting to see more of the real angry Casey underneath. (Remember the Friday evening anonymous hate-fest on EN a few months ago? - who was behind that, I wonder.)
Whoever actually wrote the posting, Casey is enraged at the "jumped the shark" comments because he knows it's true - if he can't blog further about his marital troubles, he doesn't have a lot to blog about.

I think that's a reasonable theory. Unfortunately for KC, many/most of his critics have already left, and no longer read his trolls directly at IAFF.
I see Casey's posts through RSS. Since the connection is to feedburner.com I expect he doesn't get page hits from that.
I don't see any other decorations on the front page.
If Snowflake puts his weekly income earned back on his blog can somebody please post it, as I'm tracking the numbers. It looked all good until the end of last week; he had over-achieved. And then came Friday night's family feud, and the number disappeared, and so I have no idea whether he's claiming extra for last week or carrying the balance forward to this week.
Perhaps he's sleeping (except for masturbatory blogging about his murse). Perhaps he thinks the extra $1200 or so means he can sleep this whole week, and Saturday too.
Ah thanks anon @1:59pm ...
So sercasey is taking a week off because he overachieved last week.
No thought to using the extra cash to pay off some lenders. $1k could make a small dent in Cashcall. If he can make $2k again this week he can pay another $1k to Cashcall. And if he can keep it up, thus eliminating his Cashcall debt in 10, maybe 15 weeks (after Cashcall applies their 96% interest rate).
Once again Casey shows ... no interest in paying back any debt.
To SpaceyCasey,
Per your request. This was an easy one.

You think that "genuine leather" wallet is "modified vegan?"
hehehe
As long as it was an organic cow...
@ Stephanie J:
That was not win-win.
No, it was loose-loose like Casey's stool
@Stephanie
You made my night! (Even if my alter ego, Caseys Sex Life, is still a lonely dud)
BTW, what are you doing tonight?
Has anyone seen this? It mentions a couple properties I hadn't heard of -- Renee Ct in West Sac and High Mountain Rd in Smith River. Did Casey (aka Able Buyer) own these as well?
Borat has body hair & can grow a 'stash. What about kc?
Anon @ 8:24-
Yeah, I've seen it and a lot of the others did when online, for sure. In fact, your timing is good. You will recall at the last Talkshow Casey said his wife wasn't on any of his corporation papers... however, I believe I remember that she was somehow connected with the "Able and Finch" discoveries... I don't remember exactly but the answer is probably found in google-searching EN.
http://www.eaglestar.net/dan.html
High Mountain webpage still links to AbleBuyer
He can glue dried wheatgrass to his body.
And the Supruns are on Renee Ct.
According to Zillow, the Renee Court address has not been bought/sold since 1998, so I would assume that Casey was just "shopping" that property to see if he could get some interest in it.

Anyone know what Yulia does for a living?
Analyst for UC Davis.
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Murseville nine that day;
The score stood over -400 K, with but one inning more to play,
And when Nigel erased and fled, and some haterz did the same,
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
Then from five thousand screens and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the bog,
For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the blog.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he logged into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile lit Casey's face.
And when, running out of ideas, he opened up the murse,
No hater in the crowd could doubt Casey was beyond cursed.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he bent to clean the pool.
Five thousand tongues clucked in scorn when he pulled Galina from her school.
EAch day as writhing creditors mailed a sea of red-letter slips,
Defiance flashed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lips.
And how the sweet deals came hurtling through the air!
Yet Casey stood a-watching them in haughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy blogsman the last chances unheeded sped.
"That ain't my style," said Casey. "Pack and go!" Yulia said.
From the blogosphere, packed with eyeballs, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore;
"Kill her! Kill the sis-in-law!" shouted supporterz on the stand;
And it's likely they'd have killed her had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to lenders, and once more the credit flew;
Ignoring the haterz in his home, The famiily warning him, "Strike two!"
"Fraud!" cried the maddened haterz, and echo answered "Fraud!"
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let opportunity go by again.
The sneer has fled from Casey's lip, the teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence upon the locked-up gate.
And now the little car is home, the dream realized at last,
And now now a homeless blogger he, wife a memory long past.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
But there is no joy in Murseville:
MIGHTY CASEY HAS STRUCK OUT.
Impressive version of Casey at the Bat.
For those of you who think Galina Serin is so innocent.
Notice how Casey AND GALINA took that 1,500 bucks to go on vacation.
Galine could have elected to pay back her debt, but noooooooo.
They are all crooks with different levels of crookness.
Casey no longer runs the blog. He is filtering out comments that point out his earnings with Google Adsense.
He is making money off this and has someone Ghostwriting his site.
1. He didn't post a few comments addressing how he got Google Adsense up.
2. He suddenly has a suspect domain host (whois it and look it up)
3. eCPM impressions are increasing with multiple page visits. All of a sudden this guy is a master SEO? Look at the meta on his site and it is professionally coded.
4. He is now raking hundreds a day that his site is properly monetized.
He is playing everyone the fool. As people flock to his site to laugh at his financial intelligence, he and whoever are behind his site are making some cash now.
The sweetest thing that could happen is folks simply ignore this person. An actor's worst nightmare is not being recognized.
Hundreds per day? Not.
Even so, there's no way he can keep it up.
GALINA and Casey are laughing all the way to the bank.
You guys are so gulliable.
I don't like fliptart, but for those here to think any of the Serin clan are inoceenet amazes me.

Snowflake is getting serious hittage. 3x what EN is getting. Sorry folks, you are being monetized. He worked the blog life cycle perfectly. He is right at peak production right now. He knows what he is doing.

Anon: Classic! Please take credit.
Thank you, glad you liked it. Quite suprised nobody thought of it earlier, to be honest. Probably somebody spending more time could riff it even better.
I can't take credit because I'm not registered...I don't live in the US and for some reason the blogger.com system here makes me jump through far too many hoops to make registering worthwhile. I am a frequent reader and sometimes-poster of EN, however, and thank you for your insights and for creating this community of intelligent souls.

Of course Casey has jumped the shark. He has new lame characters like LossMitPro (the Shemp of IAFF,) all that is left is for all of them to marry each other.
IAFF supposed visitors and pageviews are unusual to say the least. Something is gong on. Leave it to snowflake to pull another scam and screw it up.
Agreed with Anonymous.
Not going there anymore. And probably going to slowly back off from commenting on this very much anymore, except where it's really relevant to anything else I want to say. Work is picking up...

Still catching up at this point.
7:18 PM, Stephanie J.: That Casey thong image was horrifying.
I'd take that insane duck dong image over that any day.
I want Casey's story to end with a naked implement murder, HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS style. Blood spraying on wobbling breasts. Baffled, illiterate starlets. Low budget. Inexpensive ballpoint pens. Frequent flyer miles traded for boxes of cereal for the crew. Jonathan Ross jeering at you with his speech impediment. Elastic lasses with tics. You get the drift, and it's not in Tokyo this time, pardner. I want a Herschel Gordon Lewis plastic furniture cover number done on Casey, stat. WIZARD OF GORE without the style and grace. 2000 MANIACS without the sparkling wit. Hold the restraint, waiter, and bring me an extra order of BLOODSUCKING FREAKS.
I forget which forum I am on, but I will post this anyway, in the hope I selected the proper identity from the drop-down menu. I am DOOMPLAYER, I think. Or maybe R@YGOLD.
Wow, anon, such a good poem. We have such talent in our midst.

Would anyone care to place a wager on whether or not Casey forgets to pay his domain renewal bill on time?
So I am reading Pick the Brain yesterday, and he says "I researched blogging and learned that it generally takes 9-12 months before a site begins to see significant traffic." Funny, that is exactly when Dear Boy decideds to monetize his blog. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!
My [deleted] post:
This can only mean one thing -- his wife is LossMitPro.
Who is he supposed to impress with all the credit cards? Except for the corporate card, all they're good for is to jimmy strikers on cheap door locks.
IAFF is dropping in rankings - and it's organic! Almost off the first results page now.
I think that the obvious is just that. Only us haterz would even know how his grossly deformed blog came about.
Imagine you've gotten your first NOD and you google "foreclosure". You click on IAFF and find "Real Estate Investor Bage of Tricks" or "Sweet Links Sold Out".
This is like searching for "Body Building" and finding a site dedicated to gastric bypass surgery instead.
If he's got a ghost writer he may want to consider getting his money back.
Whatever momentum left from the old traffic may pull in a few bucks but it is obviously dying.
Perhaps even starting to stink.
Casey Fannnnnh,
I'm not exactly sure what you were referencing - and if it has anything to do with an interest in vintage, horror kitsch...
Whatever the case might be it sounds SWEET(tm) and along the lines of my imagined Serin film! Time for bed. I have a sunburn.
@anon 9:22: He suddenly has a suspect domain host (whois it and look it up)
GoDaddy? Same as it's ever been? Explain?
All of a sudden this guy is a master SEO? Look at the meta on his site and it is professionally coded.
He's had the meta description and keywords for as long as I've been reading IAFF. Nothing new.
We've been through the whole "Casey is being ghostwritten" / "Casey has sold the blog" flap before; it was nothing but fluff then, and I don't believe it now. It's still Casey at the wheel.
Holy shite. This guy takes more fracking vacations than normal working people who take care of their debts.
What a twit. Are we sure he isn't trolling us? If he is using the extra $1500 to vacation, he must assume he will magically make the extra appear for the other two weeks, right? If so, I have to then ask where he's getting the money and that would prove I was right on the call. I bet that he couldn't sustain it and we will win.

7:18 PM, Stephanie J.: That Casey thong image was horrifying.
I aim to please, my darling.
::wink::
PS, blame SpaceyCasey... he's/she's the one who suggested the Œuvre D'Art.
Rob... any chance we can get a new post? This one's a bit long in the tooth.
Can anybody say troll with his latest post? Who gives a shit what's in the damn MURSE (Casey, it's a purse for men get over yourself).
Not funny or amusing and further proof he has jumped the shark.
anon @ 9:45:
Click "other" instead of "anonymous", and type in whatever fake name you want to go by. That's what those of us who don't have accounts, or have accounts but can't be bothered to log, in do.
On that note, it's getting late. Time for some massive focused action.
How much you wanna bet there's a pipe and some chronic inside that Altoids tin?
Why hasn't Casey been arrested yet?
The guy flaunts the law AND profits from detailing his crimes???
WTF is with our law enforcement?
Hey guys
Could we setup a mirror of Casey's site so we could go there and take all the traffic away....?
Sounds good?

"Anyone know what Yulia does for a living?"
Yes.
Just two things.
1) Suggestion for theme song: "Fairy Cross the Mursey".
2) Rob @ 3:36. The quote should be attributed to Gertrude Stein, not Jane Jacobs.
And, as is obligatory for anyone posting a spelling correction or something similar, I murst inklude udder errors.
NR
What's this about Snowflake and Cyclops-midget going on vacation?
Is this speculation or is there something to it?
(FYI - I am beginning day 5 of my IAFF boycott and refuse to go there and verify.)
