I've been noticing some interesting shifts in Casey's traffic:
IAFF VISITS
Total 1,604,158
Average Per Day 16,166
Average Visit Length 1:27
IAFF PAGE VIEWS
Total 3,616,964
Average Per Day 32,813
Average Per Visit 2.0
Just like everything else Casey has finally hooked up with someone who's figgured out a way to game the system. Before he had traffic most sites would envy. Then he failed to act on the opportunity. finally, rather than do the real work to make things right he scams to get what he wants. His visit length didn't suddenly shoot up nor did his page views per visit. Looks like the virtual assistants are working overtime.

KC has no place to stay and no cash... I smell a begathon coming on. I hope either that:
1) No one gives him money, or
2) He gets payments small enough that they equate to the wages from an entry-level W-2 job ($6 or so an hour)...
Followed by a MOIST!
And will be curious if Duane tell us hwo M is gaming the system. Not that I doubt it but enquiring minds...
Could you explain for those of us not intimately familiar with web stats what makes you think there's a scam going on here as opposed to increased traffic caused by the increased craziness and sweet media coverage?
ABenused.. posted this in the other thread..
Exaclty how they spotted it... well that part is greek, at leadt to me. What actually got me to have them look wasnt Caseys traffic, or Robs traffic... it was Robs Alexa ranking... and from there... the detective work began...
People use Alexa plug-ins for traffic gaming... 2 weeks ago RObs alexa ranking was 500,000+... now its in the low 200,000 plus...
yesterday it was 80,000+
what that means is this.. Alexa is saying that RObs site was the 80,000 th most popular site in the WORLD. Now nothing against ROb, but that is imposiible, even with the traffic he is pulling. So something is going on...
So watch for this trend to happen... The VA's will uninstall the Alexa plug-ins, RObs Alexa ranking will creep back up.. not to 500,000 but probably in the 300 range... and the anons will continue...
Now as far as the bots and proxies go.. I dont get that part.. but apparantely its there
"@anon,
your right I cant substantiate the claim, but my I.T. people can.
Marty didnt just leave the Casey stuff out there... there are nuggets that you can find...im surprised people havent thus far.
Also, theres and old saying that traffic creates traffic. So gaming the traffic system will hopefully lead to other real traffic. The reason why everyone doesnt do it - its considered black hat... from an SEO standpoint, you risk getting all your urls pulled from the serps..
Once you land on the blacklist your site is dead. Notice how none of Martys sites come up in any natural organic terms?
Casey brags about his foreclosure ranking on Google... if the people keep gaming the system, that too is gone...
From the song about OZ...
Lions and Tigers and Bears oh MY...
Bots and Proxies and VA's OH MY..."
Opps.. sorry for the spelling.. typing fast as I gotta head out for now..
My sources at the White House tell me that George is about to sign the arrest warrant for Casey. Stay tuned for more details.
Duane is correct. In short, Marty has hired a hundred or so virtual assistants. Their job is to go to all the websites of his clients and click through all the links on his site.
I would also venture, that up until a few days ago, it may have included he google ads.
I would also not be surprised if a "site leacher" was included which would automate the process.
I've suspected this since for a while now. The evidence has been out there and still is. As far as proxies go, I would not be surprised if he is using the same type of reverse proxies that phishers are using these days to continue his crimes.
Google is smart. They caught him on the adsense, it's a matter of time before they catch him on the SEO fraud.
Now, I'm off to my looser w2 j0rb.
We know how he's doing it.
Also, you can now sign up to review his book before its published...OMG~!
Doubtless the prez could teach young Casey a thing or two about "failing forward" and having good things coming no matter how badly one screws up in business. But then again, his advice would be pretty useless to casey, since it would involve stuff like having ancestors who arrived on the Mayflower, attending a high school with "Philips" in the name, and having pops own oil wells and hundred-thousand-acre plots. You know, simple bare essentials for success like that.
R-Boy "Also, you can now sign up to review his book before its published...OMG~!"
Better than buying it, eh?
I don't have any contacts at Doubleday, the publisher of "The DaVinci Code", or at Random House Inc., who own Doubleday, but I've been researching public contacts if you feel like dropping a dime on Marty's hack masterpiece.
Sadly, there is no e-mail address, but they do have contact info for their copyright department:
http://www.randomhouse.biz/about/contact
Please submit your inquiries in writing to:
Permissions & Copyright Department
Random House
1745 Broadway, 3rd Floor
New York, NY 10019
You may also fax your request to: (212) 572-6066
If I get a chance in the next couple of days (w-2 job and freelance are keeping me busy) I'm going to call the NYC offices and get some contact info, and point them to this blatant rip off.
They're calling our bluff, guys, time to get back to work. I have some names and e-mails I'm waiting on for responses, but they're not anything I can share here, and may not lead anywhere, people change jobs pretty frequently in publishing, and my contacts are a bit stale.
Mouse and Pencil,
There is an intern dying to send a Cease and Desist. A publisher this size has an on-staff lawyer. And those guys are scary.
It's easy to do - send it to the Publicity department. Those PR chicks get wild. I used to work for one at William Morrow. WHOO!
Here's the email to Doubleday's PR dept. They'll get all over it like white on rice:
ddaypub@randomhouse.com
Composing my e-mail to Dday!
Come on all you have to do is send the link. Snap to haterz the current post on IAFF is a dare. Time to lower the boom.
Mouse and Pencil - do share after you send it.
A few days ago someone explained how to set up auto google searches for your name. Thanks! I signed up as a lark but it came in really useful. Some press releases I wasn't aware of just popped into my mailbox. Kewl. It's like having my own Virtual Assistant.
Posted in Last night's thread:
Timeline...
so, fellers.. I am fully identing (tm) to attempt to look into trying to take care of a timeline of the Casey Serin saga. what I have so far shows me that this is a much bigger undertaking that what I had originally planned.
I'm hoping you can help, by providing, in the comments, memorable events, along with a link to where the info was first published.
You can see what I have so far at http://webcogito.com/2007/06/19/serin-timeline/
What do you guys/gals think?
-JVJ proud owner of 500&MURST!
To whom it may concern,
I was recently made aware of a "book" (I suspect it's an e-book) being published by a young man named Casey Serin, called 'The Foreclosure Code". It can be found at www.foreclosurecode.com, and is referenced at Mr. Serin's blog, www.Iamfacingforeclosure.com.
Leaving aside the questionable intentions and content of Mr. Serin (more can be found at http://exurbannation.blogspot.com), I am angered and offended at the blatant rip off of Dan Brown's work. I am a published illustrator, and I despise attempts like this to latch onto someone's success to sell some self-help nonsense, hopefully your company feels the same and will act to protect Mr. Brown's trademarks and artwork.
The "publisher" of this work is Marty Stewart of Pagedaddy.com.
Thanks for your time,
XXXXXXX
About all I can, contacting them out of the blue. I'm going to keep working my contacts, sadly my industry (music) is a completely different world from publishing. I have one more contact I'm waitingto hear from, who knows everyone in NYC, and is a good name to drop to get attention. We'll see!
For the record, this angers me because I've been bootlegged, and ripped off. It happens. Most of the time, it's been t-shirts and stuff, and it's not worth chasing, but I've had to use lawyers on a few occasions. Too many bottomfeeder jizzbuckets like Marty think they can just leech off the hard work and imagination of others to sell their crap, and it offends me when I see it - even if I had'nt been following this story, if I'd seen that HACK of a prject marty and Casey cooked up, I'd be calling Dday and Random House, on principles alone.
What do you guys/gals think?
Excellent idea. How about putting it on CaseyPedia? That way a lot more people can work on it. Say the word and I will set you up an account.

I got a load of short films taken off YouTube a few months ago because they'd recently been remastered for DVD and the filmmakers weren't happy about inferior versions remaining in circulation.
Most people were cool about it and didn't need asking twice, but one guy tried every excuse in the book - he said that he was actually doing us a favor by "promoting" our work (if he'd uploaded short snippets, I probably wouldn't have minded, but I draw the line at complete works), and that by ordering him to take it down we were trying to suppress the filmmaker's work (yeah, right - that's why we spent a fortune on HD remastering and digital restoration).
In the end I e-mailed YouTube directly and they took it down within two hours - I was very impressed by their prompt action, but I suspect they're ultra-sensitive about copyright infringement. Or rather, they'll turn a blind eye until they're specifically alerted, but then they move very fast indeed.
word.
Definitely more people working on it would help. I hadn't realized how much work it would be until I started working on it.
I'll contact you through your wikipedia info.

Oh, man!
I bet Snowflake wishes he was back in the USofA NOW!
Snowflake has just released a load more comments - and quite a few of them mention CashCall this time, though he's no closer to answering the question "how exactly did you look into it?"
Sorry guys, there's no copyright protection for "titles", whether it be a book title, song title or movie title. Nor is there for an "idea", only for the expression of an idea.
Unless the public can be confused between The Foreclosure Code and Da Vinci Code, there's no unfair competition, either.
Please try again.
Not to sound like a tech dummy but what is a virtual assistant? Marty using different IP addresses?
The book kind of looks like Casey has the words “A Mistake” tattooed on his forehead…..or is that a bad birthmark.
@7:06 Anon
Sorry, marty, wrong answer. You can share your ideas with Dan Borwn's publisher and agent tho.
Dan Brown's agent is Heide Lange, of Sanford J. Greenburger Associates Inc. No e-mails yet. Working on that.
http://www.greenburger.com/index.html
Yeah right, "A mistake" as in singular, one.
Not quite accurate unless he is referring to his entire life being the mistake.
I just signed up Anna Serin, with her legit e-mail address, to review the book. The real Anna has to enter a confirmation code of some sort, but I wanted to make sure that Mom knows what her blond-haired, gay son is up to...
Great. Just great, my trolls.
As if it were not enough that Marty'n'Casey shamelessly rip Dan Brown off, the cover art of this steaming pile o'crap brands the putative author as "A Mistake".
Branded right on the forehead, no less. The Mark of the Dumbass.
This has to be a joke.
Wonderful. Now Anna S gets to see the words "A Mistake" indelibly engraved on her errant son's monkey-face.
I believe his parents branded him at birth so they would not forget which child was a mistake.
Sorry guys, there's no copyright protection for "titles", whether it be a book title, song title or movie title. Nor is there for an "idea", only for the expression of an idea.
That's correct, but irrelevant. The copyright infringement being discussed here is the wholesale appropriation of the actual cover artwork of the US edition of 'The Da Vinci Code'.
And artwork most definitely IS protected by copyright.
"A mistake", my Irish ass. It's my opinion, after listening to Casey drone on and on on those tapes, that he intended to do everything he did, nothing was a "mistake", except for failing to look at the markets he was attempting his scams in.
There's a reason why legit publisher's won't touch Toxic Casey, and he's going with jizzbucket Marty.
"Lies, lies, and more damnable lies".
@7:06 Anon
Sorry, but there a ton of infringements here.
The book cover itself is a work protected by copyright. Casey's book cover is clearly a derivative work, and therefore infringes.
The tile The Da Vinci Code is registered trademark #78411370, which covers "electronic publications namely books". Doubleday can easily argue that Casey's title, especially when combined with the derivative trade dress, is being used in a way to confuse the public.
And before you (or some other idiot) brings it up, Casey's book is not a parody of Dan Brown's work. The fair-use parody right only generally applies when you are making a commentary on the work being parodied. Unless the book has been rewritten with Casey running around an an art gallery trying to solve a murder by committing mortgage fraud, claiming to be a parody isn't going to carry much weight.
The real question here is are the Haterz going to be able to bring this to the attention of Doubleday's legal department. Once they issue a cease and desist, Snowflake and Spamking aren't going to have the resources (mental or financial) to keep this charade up.
Unless the book has been rewritten with Casey running around an an art gallery trying to solve a murder by committing mortgage fraud,
That sounds like a vastly more interesting and entertaining book than the one that's actually coming out.
How could the Serin clan forget which kid was a mistake?
"Branded right on the forehead, no less. The Mark of the Dumbass."
Silly me. I thought the Mark of the Dumbass was a lower back-tat.
@7:18 AM, Mouse And Pencil
Here is the email address you want:
hlange@sjga.com
doesnt anybody realize that the whole "foreclosure code" dan brown ripoff is calculated to bring exposure in the form of a pointless C&D and possible lawsuit for more exposure???
@Smelly
Exactly on point. I think Marty is the anon who posted, and I think he's going to be getting a very pointed lesson in copyrights and trademark dilution very soon.
Which is why i'm sharing my findings on who to contact, I'm trying to get a line to the people who can shut this hack of an ebook down.
I don't even like Dan Brown, or his books, or the movie. This is about principles - much the same reason why Duane, Mark and Nigel have moved against them.
The Learning Company needs to issue a Carmen Sandiego (C.S.)spinoff -- "Where in the World is Casey Serin??"
You get to track globe-hopping fugitive Serin, while he attempts to secure "sweet deals" in various exotic locales. His flight from justice is assisted by his henchmen -- The Swab™, White Russian™, Anonymous Canadian Fan™, and so forth.
I'd certainly buy it! :)
@anon:
what on earth does a c&d get Marty or Casey? At best a little traffic, poorly monetized.
Most of the time a c&d is done quietly, so they probably won't even get that.
@Smelly
Thanks, i'll try that next.
A C&D is to REDUCE attention to an infringement, not get attention. The point of a C&D is to remove the offending material from the public's view. That's why you don't see press releases when someone gets one - I've had to have them issued in my name, and it was NEVER admitted to in public.
IF this actually got to a lawsuit, and I don't think the jizzbucket is THAT pompus to think he'd win against Random House's legal team, it still would'nt make them a dime, because they would'nt be able to publish until it's resolved, anything on the market would have an injunction on it removing it for sale, and any profits they *might* get from teh sale of this book would be eaten up in short order just getting an attorney on retainer to deal with a lawsuit of this magnitude.
C&D as publicity tool - really, really, really bad idea, worse than ripping off an international bestseller.
A broad thought: Anyone realize what sort of mess Galina and the Serin family would be in had there never been an IAFF. Think of it, one little blog so outrageous and over the top in content brought together a broad array of indviduals united in hatred and contempt over Snowflake's detestable actions. How many people in the hater community knew of each other this time last year? A few but....even still how many people who have been in contact with Galina could have imagined that this time last year you would be helping a naive 20 something woman in Sacramento throw off the shackles of a cretin husband and get her life back on track? Crickets........The amazing thing about this saga is that Snowflake has no one else to blame buthimself. He can only blame himself for the blog which revealed himself to the world. This post was a pat on the back to the haterz but also a troll for Casey.
Regards
Joe
The book is NOTHING. Dan Brown ripoff is intentional and the real plan involves all the crap they can peddle online.
Think like Marty..shudder..all he knows is clicks and will do anything to generate them. Marty knows there's no marketable content, just Casey's notoriety.
Granted.
But a c&d is not the way to pimp Turdboi's notoriety.
Dear Publisher,
I would like to be one of the readers that can take advantage of your pre-release offer on your new book the Forclosure Code (http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/247/the-foreclosure-code).
Please let me know how I can participate and receive a pre-release copy.
Thanks
SmellyPogoStick @ 7:36 AM:
”The real question here is are the Haterz going to be able to bring this to the attention of Doubleday's legal department.”
(BTW, great handle!)
As an FYI (and tele to our Dimwitted Duo) some well connected Haterz are on the Doubleday angle, as the timing was sought to coincide with some other activity that may come to the forefront today (Rob’s call, not mine and I’m NOT baiting).
Moreover your legal takes are just some of the things I conveyed to Casey last few times we spoke, but the kid thinks he’s not doing anything wrong. That is, despite the fact I repeatedly told him to seek a lawyer’s counsel to confirm what I was saying. But as we know Casey, he apparently thinks plausible deniability will apply if he simply denies wrongdoing.
Sadly the latter theory hasn’t worked for countless politicos, public figures and even Presidents. What in the world makes Casey believe he will be somehow different, is beyond my professional scope.
~Mark
It is enough to say that Casey thinks "but I planned to pay the money back later" is a defense to fraud.
@ Sid
NOPE!
~Mark
Because of pending copyright infringement Lawsuits, Casey has just changed the title of his book.
The Mistake....
My Life From the Beginning.
Marty and Casey had better get real aquainted with the word "intent".
It makes all the difference in the world.
"nuff said, I'll wait and see what Rob might have up his sleeve, besides bunkerbusters and C4 shaped like bunny rabbits.
Lost Mittens -
I just really like that, what can I say? :)
Anyways, Casey repeatedly said he'd checked with a lawyer about the idiotic corporate credit to refinance his own debts plan, and about other things.
Do you know if such a person actually exists outside Casey's fertile imagination and delusion? Who was he talking to?
@Beezer
Casey probably has had conversations with lawyers in regards to what he is doing. The problem is the questions Casey asks
For example
Is it legal to buy a corporation?
A = Yes
Can a corporation lend money to officers?
A = Yes
The Corporation Brokers' "In-House Aturnee™, Esq." probably told Serin whatever he wanted to hear.
Pay off debts and rent with corp credit? Sure!
Go on Australian vacation using corp credit? Hey, why not!
Get cash advance for some last-ditch casino gambling? That'd be OK!
:-Þ
Talking about scams.
Is it or was it public records showing that Mama Serin co-signed with Casey Serin on the corporation?
Anono,
Is this what you had in mind?
The Mistake
The possibilities are endless
Hey, I like that book cover much better - to close to the truth.
Say, how do you guys get the url linked inside the text? I am using Firefox and when I paste an http:// link, it shows.
Why would anyone game Rob's traffic to make it appear his site is more popular? I don't get that part.
Is it or was it public records showing that Mama Serin co-signed with Casey Serin on the corporation?
Declan did a follow-up piece to his earliest Serin article. You can click on the link, but one of the things Declan says is -- "Casey said his business credit has a relative as a guarantor, I believe his mother."
Wait, let me get this right, it would be Dan Brown suing somebody else for ripping his stuff off?
Thanks the Dude.
So it looks like Casey has many enablers.
I feel sorry for Galina Serin, but I cannot get over how until the very last day, Galina Serin was (is?) supporting her husband fradulant ways.
I mean, Galina Serin even went as far as to support Casey's fradulant ways by making Casey sign a contract that as long as Casey brough in 1,000 a week, all was good.
I think that the trail of Fraud goes much deeper than just Casey Serin.
Benoit: "The Corporation Brokers' "In-House Aturnee™, Esq." probably told Serin whatever he wanted to hear."
Why did an image of Lionel Hutz just flash into my mind?
Wait, let me get this right, it would be Dan Brown suing somebody else for ripping his stuff off?
No, his publishers. Casey and Marty are ripping off the artwork, not the text.
Is it just me or does it feel like Casey's story has fizzled at this point?
It's like the calm before the storm. All this drama and excitement and wind and lightning and hail and now...just a drizzle.
Ah, but it sure seems like the big stuff is coming - charges or lawsuits or litigation are right around the corner.
Get ye to your basement, Galina! There's a twister on the horizon.
Oh yes, I like the book cover. I think the toilet needs to be more of a center piece. There’s a lot of meaning with glow coming from the toilet as it slowly swirls away.
@ Ex Train Wreck -- Why did an image of Lionel Hutz just flash into my mind?
Casey's Public Defender: Your honor, in light of the jury's blatant bias against my client, I move for a ... bad court thingy.
Judge: You mean a mistrial?
Casey's Public Defender: Yeah, that's it! Hey, that's why you're the judge and I'm the ... uhh... law... talking... guy. ;-)
@gsi?: "I think that the trail of Fraud goes much deeper than just Casey Serin."
Enough with the "it goes deeper" theme already. It doesn't go deep, we're talking about someone who doesn't understand some of the most basic facts of making money to begin with, he doesn't have the ability to even begin to construct an elaborate con. Incompetence, yes, deceit, yes, fraud, yes, depth, no, the only thing deep here is the amount of debt he's in.
There're no coffee cans with money in them, if he has any money to his name he's burning through it at an amazing rate. There's no secret scam going on, the "money-making" scheme is right there out in the open, he wants money and room and board, he's going to try to sell his book for it, or beg for it or borrow it, however he can get something without having to work for it.
Seriously, follow the money, and the only money flowing here is coming from Casey's lenders and/or supporterz and going to support his lifestyle.
beezer @ 8:19 AM:
”Do you know if such a person actually exists outside Casey's fertile imagination and delusion? Who was he talking to?”
(BTW, I don’t mind the “Lost Mittens” thing.)
I think such a lawyer may exist in reality, but I’ve never spoken with one. At one point I had a legal issue that affected Casey’s mortgage positions, but couldn’t convey this information to Casey in detail. I asked him who his attorney was but Casey justified not referring me to him (the lawyer) as the gent agreed to provide Pro Bono work, and Casey didn’t want to abuse the offer. At the time I thought it was a reasonable refusal, as conformation for the legal issue I had wasn't that urgent.
But here’s another rub. Casey needs to consult an IP lawyer for his latest issues, not necessarily general counsel. Intellectual Property law is a fine and specific area, and most lawyers prefer to specialize in given categories much like physicians. Albeit general counsel could do research and render a legal opinion, consulting a specialist saves time (hence money for the client) and often provides better accuracy.
Nonetheless, Casey isn’t thorough... He’s not a “detail” man, remember? But as any realist knows, that’s where the devil most resides!
Details? Casey don ned no stinkin details!
~Mark
(Likes “The Dude’s” artwork too.)
@LMP
I have an IP attorney. He's good. He's VERY expensive.
He's also on vacation, or I'd run this by him for laughs. He's back in August.
@benoit:
Casey's Defense Lawyer: But I ask you, what is a contract? Webster's defines it as "an agreement under the law which is unbreakable." Which is unbreakable!
(Pause)
Casey's Defense Lawyer: Excuse me, I must use the restroom.
(Runs out of courtroom)
(Car door slams)
(Car tires squeal as car drives off)
:)
@8:57 Train:
Yes, the more I read, the more it looks like it that way. It's amazing to me just how far Casey Serin has con people/banks out of money and how stupid that kid is.
Before I get slammed with being a Galina attacker, I am not, nor am I a supporter of hers.
What does trouble me are people like Mama Serin helping Casey committ Fraud AND Galina Serin for going along with it. I mean, Galina Serin was able and willing to support Casey's Fraud as long as Casey brought in $1,000 a week.
@ Train Wreck -- hehe, this could go on forever. Last one:
Casey: I thought this meeting would be free! Your card says "Free Consultation No Money Down"!!
Lawyer scribbles some punctuation marks: No, you read that wrong. Look, it says "Free Consultation?? No, Money Down!!"
One of my favorites. ;-)
@ Mouse
Well if you’re IP guy/gal may get a real hoot by August, based on things to come in relatively short order.
~Mark
******CARE PACKAGE FOR CASEY******
How about a little care package from the Haterz to help casey
with his homeless endeavor:
A few donations from stuff you
guys may have laying around the
house that you can get rid of
and help casey being homeless.
Jamba Juice = Kool Aid
The flavors that you never use and
are just going to sit there.
Starbucks = Sanka
The half bottle not used anymore
Breakfast = Spagetti O's
The can that's soon to expire.
Used Orange polyester coveralls
one size fits all. Wears long and
helps acclimate to future wardrobe.
House = tarp
He can flip it several times a day.
Organic Carnitas = Top Ramen
6 for a buck 25
murse = A backpack to keep all the stuff in, maybe a used pink Pokamon one the kids have outgrown.
VW = Used sneakers
Good for the environment and helps
offset the carbon emissions from
flying to other countries trying
to escape.
It can be sent to the Sydney Newspaper in care of serin, where
he will gladly show up. Although
providing him with some initially
dangerous media attention, they will soon tire of it and maybe learn his true nature.
You can get rid of stuff you no longer need, help casey learn to
take care of himself as a homeless bum while simultaneously removing him as a danger and cost to the greater society with his..umm 'investment opportunites'
save on jail costs, drain the boonsesfarm funds of the supporterz trying to match or outdo the support, and maybe even
convince the Government in Australia to remove their firearms ban.
All the money saved can go to help the Real Charities.

It's an interesting thought. Had Turdflake kept a low-profile last fall, he would have been just another flip-flopper. Also, he'd very likely be getting away with the corporate credit scam. There'd be the appearance of income, so Galina would still be happy. Eventually things would have caught up with Turdflake, but he probably could have "successfully" moved from the real estate scam to the corporate credit scam without attracting any attention. Instead, he's got an internet community of vigilantes looking to blow the whistle on his shenanigans.
Right now, Turdflake doesn't know where he'll be sleeping next week, where his next meal will come from, etc. He's very likely facing divorce from his wife and possible estrangement from other family members. Had he never started his blog and continued to coast, I suspect that his quality of life would be much better than it presently is. Within a few weeks, he's going to realize that the book will not be a magic bullet that propels him to new heights. Instead, he'll be a friendless, jobless, possibly homeless, indebted looser with no prospects for legitimate income--and a lot of unwanted attention from Haterz and possibly law enforcement. In other words, he's totally screwed--and gradually he's losing the inner-battle of self-delusion to convince himself otherwise.
Anon @ 7:06,
That has to be the most idiotic comment I've ever read. Sure, you can't copyright a title BUT IF YOU use another established titles art and concept and change it for your money making venture, you just crossed the line.
The only way he could be saved from being sued is if he wrote a parody of Mr. Brown's book. Obviously, The Foreclosure Code (lame, what crap) is not a parody.
Sorry, YOU are wrong here.
Casey has not been the person coning people out of money. He has been willing to be the fall guy for a piece of the action. Other people have done all the work and made most of the money on his cons.
LMP (Mark),
Casey has a lawyer like I have a multimillion dollar mansion. It's fantasy, a ruse. He doesn't have a CPA, he doesn't have any of these things (unless he thinks the guy at H&R Block counts as a CPA). He likes to TELL us he has these people on retainer but I doubt any such people exist.
Last time I checked any Lawyers, CPAs, etc work in exchange for MONEY. Casey has none of that.
@Ex-TWW:
"Enough with the "it goes deeper" theme already. It doesn't go deep, we're talking about someone who doesn't understand some of the most basic facts of making money to begin with, he doesn't have the ability to even begin to construct an elaborate con."
No, I think it does go deeper.
A schmuck who will sign anything that's put in fron of him is an absolute gold mine.
Refer to how a restaurant is ridden hard and tossed away wet by the Mob in the movie "GoodFellas" for an example.
The Hobbit is the patsy restauranteur, in this particualr case.
His pimp-daddy turned him out, worked his credit to exhaustion, and has now cut him off.
That's why Fliptard is on the run, homeless and penniless.
If he'd had any brains,(or balls) he'd have invested in a nice sturdy "lifeboat" for the day he had to abandon ship.
The only question I have is if this scam was a homegrown RE-type caper, or is Serin a punk-bitch for the Russian Mob.
If he's been punked by the Blatnye, that would explain his precipitate departure abroad, AND the fact that he hasn't, (tmk), found an emigre community to "burrow into".
Other people have done all the work and made most of the money on his cons.
I partially agree here. Snowflake has only lost a lot of money from any of his deals and others have profited from the inflated sells that included sweet cashback.
Casey has not been the person coning people out of money.
Now thats just BS. He has ripped every single mortgage lender of by shifting all the risk illegally to them through overpriced sweet cashback deals. There is a reason the lenders want to know of any cashback transaction and that is risk mitigation. The lenders went in for the full price and risk of the properties while Snowflake got some sweet cash that he lived on for month and month.
I really feel bad for Galina Serin with all of the stuff Casey has done to her.
I am not a Galina basher nor a supporter, but I do question some things.
I do not understand why Galina Serin was willing AND able to support her husband Fradulant ways for so long? Galina was willing to go along with the fraud as long as Casey could prduce $1,000 bucks a week. So she was OK with what was going on so long as money was coming in. That looks pretty bad IMHO.
I honestly have serious reservatations as to why did Galina Serin did NOT put a stop to all the FRAUD her husband was doing 3 years ago? More importantly, why was she willing to go along with the Fraud as long as $1,000.00 bucks (or more) a month was coming in?
http://www.idahostatesman.com/newsupdates/story/89682.html
OK, been reading since, well, all of you were trying to knock some sense into this moron last year. I am de-cloaking and linking to this article in my local paper re: foreclosure scams, because really, the last paragraph is all the information anyone would need in this circumstance :
"I encourage anyone who is facing foreclosure to seek the advice of a qualified professional who does not have a personal interest in your decision," Gee said. "There are many avenues to obtain information about foreclosure options, legal services available to you or licensed debt and credit counselors or lenders."
See? Saved the fakelet the trouble of actually doing WORK and writing a book!
As an aside, you guys rock. I am a homeowner of the rare 20% down-live-in-it sort, but I have learned so much from all of you. Yes, even the trolls, who amuse me.
The transformation from helperz to haterz has been fascinating; fakelet did not realize what was right there under his nose...all the sound advice he ever needed. I am hoping to see his pic plastered over another paper/article soon, wearing a vibrant orange jumpsuit.
"A Mistake", indeed.
Casey has not been the person coning people out of money. He has been willing to be the fall guy for a piece of the action. Other people have done all the work and made most of the money on his cons.
I call b.s. here because Casey knows exactly what he is doing (as shown by the people who have posted his quotes from those brain dumps). He plays naive, but he has been exposed as being much more conniving in his crimes.
Sure, others HAVE made more than he has off of his "ideas." Keep in mind, they WERE HIS ideas though.
Oh, he did con people...what do you call intentionally lying about residency on a mortgage loan to get a lower interest rate? What do you call cash back upfront? Not paying back creditors? Trying to convince Ramit, a friend of his, to join a shady pyramid scheme?
Sorry bud, he cons alright...he's just proven he isn't very smart since none of his cons have made him a dime.
G Serin Innocent?,
Not trying to defend G but I will say that Casey could have kept a lot from her. It's not hard if she is the doting, loyal wife many portray her to be.
Is she a victim? I dunno, but if his lenders do sue and tie her down with debt, YES. I can also say she's a victim in a sense because her husband up and left her for Australia.
So I'd say we should let the G story play out and if a smoking gun ever comes out that she knew more than we thought...rip away. Otherwise, I think she is looking more innocent than we all pegged her to be in the beginning.
LMP:
"As an FYI (and tele to our Dimwitted Duo) some well connected Haterz are on the Doubleday angle, as the timing was sought to coincide with some other activity that may come to the forefront today (Rob’s call, not mine and I’m NOT baiting)."
Jebus! Rob Dawg must have a shoe collection to rival Imelda Marcos's...for all the "other shoes" he has to drop!
As always, LMP, what you do NOT say is more fascinating than what you do say.
I dub thee "The Oracle".
@ serinitis
"Casey has not been the person coning people out of money. He has been willing to be the fall guy for a piece of the action. Other people have done all the work and made most of the money on his cons."
I used to wonder about that myself: whether Turdflake was just the frontman for a much more sophisticated and organized criminal enterprise, such as the Russian mob. The thing is, if he were involved with professional, experienced criminals, they would not tolerate the attention that his blog has generated. Moreover, he's too loose a cannon to be trusted with much of anything. An organized criminal syndicate would insist on much, much more discipline. If Casey was unable to provide it himself, then they would impose it upon him. Casey's too unstable for a professional criminal to even trust with a loan, let alone as a participant in an extensive criminal enterprise. I just don't think it's very likely.
@Dan: Why would anyone game Rob's traffic to make it appear his site is more popular? I don't get that part.
That's not the intent; that's a side-effect. It's not so much that the traffic is being gamed; more that EN may well be seeing a *lot* of traffic from Marty's "people".
Alexa estimates overall traffic based on sampling from Alexa toolbar users. EN's increased rating in Alexa might indicate one of two things:
a) EN is seeing more traffic in general
b) EN is seeing more traffic specifically from people using the Alexa toolbar.
Sitemeter estimates overall traffic through loads of the sitemeter image on each EN page.
So, if the Alexa traffic rises by substantially more than than the Sitemeter traffic -- as it did at the start of June -- one inference that it is reasonable to draw is that EN is seeing more trafic *specifically* from users of the Alexa toolbar.
Now, who said in a public interview that "we have Alexa toolbars on even our assistants, our virtual assistants, everybody who works for our company has Alexa toolbars installed"?
Our pal Sheisty Marty.
Hi Marty.
@Anonymous: "virtual assistant" == outsourced contractor.
After checking all databases, the only Martin J Stewart born in 1974 that I could find was last known living at:

Does anyone know if this is the guy?
A Blast From The Past:
While he characterized his goals in investment as buy-fix-sell, he said he doesn't like to be called a "flipper."
"I don't like the word flipping because it makes it sound like you're doing something illegal," he said.
Sweet!....like mortgage fraud ain't?

Subject: Da Vinci Code Copyright Alert
Hello,
I would like to notify you that there is a "book" getting ready to be published and currently advertised in the website http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/, called "The Foreclosure Code". The copyright violations to Mr. Brown's "Da Vinci Code" are obvious and I feel great injustice to let the self-publisher continue advertising as such and ultimately attempt to profit from your company's creativity.
I hope you will be prompted to take appropriate action. The "author"s name is Casey Serin and his e-mail can be found on the above mentioned web-site.
Sincerely,
XXXX
@Dolf,
I honestly feel sorry for Galina and I do think she is a victim in the sense that Casey has lied to her many times.
Having said that, a victim is no longer a victim once certain facts are revealed to said person and the person continues on the same path.
It would be hard sell for anyone to convince me that Galina Serin did NOT know what her husband was doing given all of the publicity out there and for this long.
I am willing to believe in inocense up to a point, but to think that Galina Serin did not know what her husband was doing for this long? Sorry.
Also, Galina Serin willing to go along with her husband fradulant ways as long as her husband was able to produce $1,000.00 a week is really, REALLY bad, or as Casey would say, "shady".
We all know how the story will play out:
1) Casey gets divorced
2) Casey comes out of the closet
3) Casey half-heartedly attempts to find legitimate work
4) Casey ends up being spit out of the bottom of the gay porn industry
5) Casey goes to prison
Am I reaching here, Lost Mittens™ ? :-)
Due to space, I'll keep my poem that is a spoof of Dr. Seuss's "Oh the Places You Will Go", brief.
You'll commit mortgage fraud with out a single care.
And lie to your wife, or give her blank stares.
With a head full of crap, and flip-flops on your feet,
You'll soon have big bubba's love in your seat.
And you may not find any sweet deals
You'll want to partake.
In that case, of course,
You'll head fly to Oz, and lay down your stakes.
It's opener there at that spot
The Real estate market is hot, hot, hot.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as slimey
and manipulative as you
And when things start to happen
don't worry as you should
Just go right along
It's allll goood
Oh!
The Places You'll Go!
You'll be on your way to prison
They will call you a fish within their sights
You'll have to join the Aryan's
And be their boyfriend, and help in their fights

(Pondering Benoit’s question.)
I wonder if Casey's lawyers are part of the NRU complex. If so, he's in deep doo-doo, because they'll be abandoning his ass in short order.
@ Benoit
Armchair psychiatrist time...
Turdflake will never, ever publicly admit that he is gay. If he is a homosexual (and that's pure speculation, in my opinion), he'll continue to portray himself publicly as a normal, heterosexual. His NPD will require him to do so. Deviating from such an important social norm would be unconscionable for him.
If he is drawn to other men sexually, he may experience homosexual relations in secret. But in his mind, it will be because he is a superior intellect to "normal" people. He will rationalize keeping the relationships secret by convincing himself that the rest of the world is too primitive to understand the true nature of advanced self.
I have no idea whether he is actually drawn to men (and I don't really care). But I'd wager serious money that a manifestation of his personality disorder(s) is an unwillingness to ever publicly admit to "deviant" sexual behavior.
One final thought: Galina should get herself tested for STD's, including HIV. Even if he's not actually gay, he obviously doesn't care about her financially so why expect him to care about her physical health?
Hi everybody!!!!!
(waves)
Shut up, Mocha!
>> 4) Casey ends up being spit out of the bottom of the gay porn industry
>> 5) Casey goes to prison
Casey's experience in (4) comes in handy in (5). I'm sorta prag-matic about Casey's future.
If you watched Oz (on HBO), you will know what I mean.
bob dawg, I think we need a "Bubba Joke" thread. I'll start. Casey, in prison "Ben Dover" is usually a command, not a name.
Folks, we interrupt this program for an important annocement.
Two, not one, but TWO balls are missing. Please look around your area for two missing small, smelly balls.
If you find them, please contact Marty.
Thank you and we return you to your regular postings.
Benoit, why this big fascination with all things gay? You're making me shift in my seat a bit. Do I sense a crush? Casey maybe? No, seriously. I want you to think about it.
why this big fascination with all things gay?
Look at nearly any picture of the guy and then tell us with a straight face (no pun intended) that this is how a straight man dresses and looks.
Do I sense a crush? Casey maybe?
See, you can't help but bring "gayness" into the conversation either. ;-p
Anybody get the idea that Marty's "Virtual Assistants" are folks who answered ads saying "Make $$$$ Working From Home!!!" ????
The claim that haterz were generating Cazey's click fraud is true, but Cazey's traffic was quite suspicious BEFORE the Haterz got his Adsense account pulled.
@ El Gabo Gringo -- that's not only speculation, it's a fact.
Caseypedia has an article (with original ad) about Marty and his "virtual assistants".
Things that make you go hummmmmmm said...

Is that to adjust your erection? Hypocrite.....
Too bad ol' Case isn't stateside, Sears is offering SWEET CASHBACK of 10% on all lawn equipment purchases!
Regarding KC and conning money:
Casey only conned a few people in small amounts, mostly family members. For the most part what he committed was fraud against numerous lenders. That's not a con.
Casey did, however, fall for con-jobs over and over. Most of the deals he fell for he was "conned" into, be it the "investment club" that turned him onto one of his sweet-cashback deals or the tuition to Faux-Money University.
I think the bigger point is that, in general, Casey isn't the con, he's the mark.
The claim that haterz were generating Cazey's click fraud is true
This time, or the first time?
The first time, quite possibly -- there were a lot of comments here and on IAFF encouraging people to click.
But this time around, there *weren't* comments like that. If Casey's second attempt was brought down by fraud, it was done behind the scenes; there was no publicly-orchestrated haterz scheme to spam his ads with clicks.
This is why I could never be a hater even though I don't support Casey. You guys are too one sided. You mock Casey and call him Gaysey. But you all know that the first time you "heard" Benoit or "M. Singh" or "BTC" live, your GAYDAR went off. Someone own up to at least one of them.
@El Gabo Gringo,
Hey, I left you a comment on your blog a while ago...what school did you go to in Riverside? I might know you. :)
I went to Norte Vista & graduated in 1989.
Google released this analysis of clickbots a couple of months ago...
Clickbot.A
Here's my own presentation with simple diagrams...
Defcon 15 submission
Uhhh Gaydar,
Please don't lump all of us in with the Gay crowd. Sure, we've all JOKED about it, but really now. I can't speak for everybody, and would never try, but I don't have problems with anybody's sexuality. Let's say Casey is gay, who really cares? If somebody does, that's their problem.
The whole gay thing only detracts from the point that Casey committed mortgage fraud and is thumbing his nose at the law.
BTW - you picking on other haters for their vocal inflections only proves you have issues with it as well. Not picking a fight, but if you want to make a point try not to generalize everybody.
But you all know that the first time you "heard" Benoit or "M. Singh" or "BTC" live, your GAYDAR went off.
Actually, I'll admit that on the Casey talkcast, I came off overly nervous and "low talking" due to my calling in on a cell phone and Casey's relentlessly putting words in my mouth and talking non-stop (as he does with everyone).
During the first Haterzcast, I sounded much better, since CHJTS isn't a psychopath and I called in from a land line. And BTW, I don't know where M SINGH hails from, but I'd wager that BTC (and myself) just has a New York accent. If you want to call that gay, so be it...
@ Dolph
Well put. I will give you that.
BTW - Who is one sided? Many of us don't wish the lad harm. We just want him to pay the price for his crimes.
I love how the trolls are the worst perpetrators of generalizations than the worst Casey hater.
@ Gaydar...thanks.
Haterz use the gay/tranny thing as an "insult" though based only on what they read, see in a picture or hear from someone's voice. But when it is used right back at them. They take offence. I myself am heterosexual and not in the least bit homophobic. But I am trying to be oblective which the haterz are definitely not. So they twist things that they themselves said when it now applies to one of their own.
What does Casey's sexual preference (or anyones for that matter) have to do with anything?
Why does anyone care?
@ year 2007
Ask the haterz that question? They call most people that ever spoke in favor of casey GAY or TRANNY. This includes, Nigel,Mocha, Marty and others.
OT, but a clarification. Like the Steph J - Stephanie S confusion a few months back, I only post as Aspeth. In getting caught up on EN reading, have noticed various users linking my blog to their user names. I don't really give a hoot about that, as long as it's understood that these are not the opinions, comments, or commentary of Aspeth or the "Twelve Years" blog.
'Nuff said.
@ Gaydar.
Eh-hem. Just as Steph represents the hot chick portion of the Exurban Nation, I represent the hot homos. The straights here have said very little to offend me.
Trust me - we have enough to mock Casey about than his orientation. We covered the sexuality bit much earlier in the saga. The term Gaysey came about when he would occasionally become flush with a little cash, sometimes after a trip or mysterious "business meeting" with a man.
Since we know Casey has admitted to committing frauds, has a very limited skill set and most likely ADD, we couldn't see him earning this money legitimately. The same conclusions were drawn as as they would be if Casey was a woman, murse or not.
I haven't seen him at any of the meetings and I have purposely kept my gaydar off of his frequency because I don't want to know the truth, despite his "business" partners. We've eliminated Duane as a sugar daddy. I've been told to be nice to Nigel so I won't go there...PRLinkbiz could have been a man in drag, Chris looks like he'd swing after a few kegs and that Marty guy looks like he'd take less than a 6pack.
I'd prefer to think that there's a life for Casey after Galina with Mocha. Following the vasectemy of course. Mocha claims to be a 3rd year med student...I'm sure after a very little time with Casey she'll be happy to see to the procedure.
@ Bemused guy
What are your thoughts on haterz using being gay, tranny, shemale or a queen as an insult. As a black man myself. I wont hang around with white dudes that call other blacks niggers.
Aspeth:
Yes, I am not am not you. I was poiting to your link because what I read there made a lot of sense.
Are you still of the mind set that Galina Serin should be Sent To Prison as your artcicle states?
@Aspeth
Hey, I always post as StephanieS to avoid confusion. We have very different writing styles and I don't have a jeep.
Aspeth, I love your blog by the way. But regaring your post here. I have seen you attack Mocha for trying to clarify that all posts should not be considered her. Yet you do the same here. I understand the IP argument but a does a region mean one person? I am always so confused here. There are specific rules for haterz and other rules for others?
(Disclaimer: I AM NOT A CASEY SUPPORTER)
Casey must be just livid that his private e-mails to his w*** are being posted -- with permission, no less.
I wonder if he will stop communicating with her. Or at least choose his words very carefully from now on.
Though I doubt he saw anything wrong with his reply anyway.
@Benoit 10:52...yes, the one in Caseypedia is only the tip of the iceberg. I forget what google search I was doing, but there were literally hundreds of Marty/pagedaddy references with similar postings. Even found several in foreign tongues and scripts. Some were in the usual places, craigslist and the like, and others look like he's posting them on the 'tens of thousands' of webpages he was bragging about in that YouTube video.
Bemused Guy,
Is this the first time you came out on EN. Do they all know you are gay? I would have never guessed. Stereotyping is such bullshit. I respect you for saying who you are. Why do you let the homophobic haterz off the hook? Do you agree with them? I have so many questions for you. I don't know where to begin. I have always found most of these haterz to be gay bashing assholes even though I am str8 myself. Do you have a blog? Can you address these issues on your blog?
@Galina Serin Innocent? Between sailing last weekend and having the flu this week, I'm not up to speed enough to say one way or the other. As to what I've written thus far--being an accessory to the debts, properties, scaminars, etc.--I'm open to new info and developments. Life is fluid like that.
Steph S...I know. There was the initial confusion, when Grand Master Steph subsequently added the J to her name.
@Double Standards? When the IP addresses are the same, the writing style is the same, the chasm-leaping pseudo-logic is the same, it's obviously the same person.
The information is all out there. Rob called it. Look at the video. When a psychopathic, pathological liar has crossed the line to true madness, they will have to try harder and harder to convince themselves their lies are true. Watch the video. Watch his eyes. The long periods of his eyes being shut after a statement is both him lying, and trying to convince himself that his lie is true.
Mocha claims to be a 3rd year med student..
WTF?!?
Note to self: don't get sick
@Anonymous...
True Hate is never a good thing. True Haterz actually don't hate & started out as very supportive. Many of us have backgrounds in law, academic, economics, real estate & other business ventures. In the early days, a lot of very good advice was given to CS. And to be honest, most of it was very good & if given in a professional's office would have been very expensive. When I was starting out I would have LOVED to find all of the Haterz advice posted somewhere. At some point, Casey decided that us repeating the same "how you fix this is the opposite of what you are doing" posts made us Haterz.
Now to your question. If you take the time to actually read much older threads you will see that some people came here with talons drawn ready to support Casey. A few had legitimate POVs and there was good discussion. Some actually did business with CS, got screwed & joined our legions. :)
Homos are our own minority and as such we can make up our own rules. The unpleasant names you list : tranny, shemale, queen, and let's see...dyke, fag, etc...
We've all been called those since we first hit the playground. We "OWN" those names. As such, they can't hurt us because we won't let them. And it all comes down to context.
This blog isn't moderated but true hate speech is not allowed. Stick around long enough & you'll see the difference from the regular posters versus the anonymous trolls who come & post hateful, condescending things to women they don't know.
WHo knows, maybe at some point YOU will come out of the shadows & pick a logon name.
Why do you let the homophobic haterz off the hook?
Speculating about Casey or outright saying "he is gay" is not homophobic or gay-bashing.
Gay bashing would be saying "Casey is a *** who deserves to have his ass kicked for it"
I too love your blog aspeth. Not the Casey stuff actually. I hate that your calibre of blogging is associated with this circus. The other stuff you write is brilliant. Glad you are feeling better.
Casey, casey. Infringement. Treble damages. You're not helping yourself.
You know, I used to watch this story from work during breaks. I'm on my day off, but I thought IAFF went down again yesterday. I thought maybe his hosting fell through or he was taking the site down again. Then I realized through the other threads here (long time lurker, first time poster), that Casey is blocking IP addresses. I used a proxy, and low and behold I could see the cover of his book.
Do you want to know where I work? It has something to do with US patents and trademarks. Could Casey be blocking the USPTO from seeing his willing infringement of Dan Brown's work? Seems possible. And I highly doubt my work was blocking this website. At first I thought he's blocking US government employees from his site. That may be true, I cannot verify that. But as I read this thread, it appears to me he's blocking the USPTO from his site. Interesting. I hope doubleday follows up, because the USPTO doesn't try to protect trademarks. That's up to individuals and lawyers.
Sorry, don't want my name out there. You'll just have to take this post at face value.

@Aspeth:
I think that the only new revelations about Galina is that:
1) Casey has left her holding the bag.
2) Galina is working extra jobs, doing her part to pay the debts.
I feel sorry for Galina Serin. But one thing that is still bothering me, is why, WHY was she willing to continue supporting her fradulant husband? She was willing continue the support if Casey brought in $1,000.00 bucks a week (or more).
I do give her credit for taking on 2 or more jobs (if it's true) to start paying for all the fun they had. I also hope that I wont be reading later on that Galina Serin has forgiven Casey and that All is good.
@Aspeth: I forget what google search I was doing, but there were literally hundreds of Marty/pagedaddy references with similar postings.
pagedaddy "virtual assistant". Marty is a busy little outsourcing bee.
"Just as Steph represents the hot chick portion of the Exurban Nation"
Give me a break. Based on the carefully cropped photos she has posted her neck is like a fire hydrant and she has the physique of the michellin man when she isn't being squeezed and lifted by a corset. It is no different than Casey's carefully posed idiot shots.
She is also the personification of "internet tough guy," going from smack talking of ass kickings to giggling nervously on the phone as Mocha tore her to pieces, right back to acting tough once back behind the safety of her oversized desk.
Sheesh.

Scoring update:
Bemused: 4
Trolls: -5
It is always a difficult question: call the trolls on their bigotry or ignore them. They depend on this quandary and use it to their advantage. Silence is the only sensible response but it feel awful. Saying something just encourages it.
Sigh. For the record, I posted openly here a long time ago. I think when I first suggested that Casey's best opportunity for making money was gay porn. I hoped for his sake that he at least had that skill set. That was when he used to wash his hair & bathe & wasn't talking about living in a car. Ewww.
I said it before & I will say it again. A lot of it is context. When I asked Jade & StephJ to run away with me to live on a plot of land in Utah, I didn't really mean it. I mean, what was I gonna do with one woman, let alone two, in UTAH? In the right place & read by the right person, that would have been complete harrassment.
The regular posters here could care less about my lifestyle.
As for the rest of your questions, I'm glad you're asking but I don't have a blog & I only play a psychiatrist on TV. If you have a loved one who you suspect might be gay, or is, you could look up PFLAG (Parents & Friends of Lesbians & Gays). They're a supportive group. For more general "how do we feel" interest, try this link

Show's over people. Does anyone know if Duane or Lossmittens is in touch with Galina? This can't be an eays time & I would feel better if her family is supporting her.
@Aspeth Fan...lol. Not quite sure what to make of that one, but I'm going to stick with the positive as my take-away.
@Galina Serin Innocent?...I read a few pages last night, but don't think I'm up to speed. Used to be, one could skip a couple of days at EN and get caught up fairly quickly. These days, it takes hours!
@lawnmower man...yep. and pretty much hits every nation with a recovered hard drive and 56k modem.

kndmanz I went to Ramona, class of 94, but I don't go around telling people that... Riverside is buried deep... very deep in my past...
After further review, scoring update has been changed:
Official, and final score reads:

....agreed; haterz don't give a crap about anyone's lifestyle and nothing you say will make a difference with our resident troll population, so let's get back to doing what we do best...bash Casey and anyone associated with him.
I figured with the "el gabo gringo" origin story that it was either Ramona or Arlington. And I know what you mean!! Unfortunately my parents & sisters just won't leave, so I am forced to go back every once in a while.
kndmanz,
just read your comment.
Yeah dunno, but Riverside has actually improved since I lived there. The bad parts are the same, but the "good" parts have grown and gotten better.
On the whole I can't stand SoCal. Zero personality. Smog, strip malls and tract housing. I left and rarely go back to visit.
Very true about Casey eyes lying. This is a well known fact that when a person looks down and/or closes eyes, they are usually lying.
@Aseth: Just a note to say that I found your article:
"Send Galina Serin To Prison"
very informative. I look forward to reading a different take if you see differently now. Either way, nice stuff you wrote.
kndmanz,
my experience is that people from SoCal leave or they don't travel at all.
I tried twice to leave, both unsuccessfully, then finally when I graduated from UCR I left and never looked back.
Meanwhile, I have friends from high school and college that never leave that 4 county area unless they are going to Las Vegas.

So true. I had a different image of Stephanie J from all the trash she writes. I was shocked at how she came across on the podcast too. I can't stand Mocha myself but she is what she is on the screen and on the podcast. Stephanie claims she was trying to be "lady like". We know better even if we won't admit it.(LOL)
Hi everybody!!!!
(waves)
Casey is not gay. I should know.
There used to be a short e-book online entitled "Cleaning the Fucking Kitchen for Dummies". It used the Dummies books' cover style, and when the publisher of the Dummies books sent a Cease and Desist the author claimed that as a parody it was fair use. The publisher's lawyer pointed out that the parody exception only applies if you're satirizing the work being copied. Since "Cleaning the Fucking Kitchen for Dummies" made fun of the author's flatmate and not the Dummies book, using the cover design and title was not fair use.
IANAL, TINLA, GYODL, etc.
STFU, Mocha!
Same IP on posts could also mean same pc but different "people" using that pc with maybe the same point of view. Also IP addresses usually gives you the general area the individual is(especially if they are dynamic) unless if it is there own server, or the IP address is static. Infact I think all AOL users IP indicates that they are all in Virginia. Correct me if I am wrong. Enough with the generalizations and speculations. Sheeeeeeeesh.
You trolls just can't stand the fact that Stephanie J is not only beautiful, but she can actually speak her mind in an insightful manner. Beauty and brains, a combo that is eating you up inside with jealousy.
History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
Im just the oily slick
On the windup world of the nervous tick
In a very fashionable hovel
I hang around dying to be tortured
Youll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your alice
...
And now you find you fit this identikit completely
You say you have no secrets
And then leave discreetly
I might make it californias fault
Be locked in genevas deepest vault
Just like the canals of mars and the great barrier reef
I come to you beyond belief
...
Ive got a feeling
Im going to get a lot of grief
Once this seemed so appealing
Now I am beyond belief
I just got this little light bulb thingy above my head and decided to write
I think the Australia Trip was one big blag to get casey booted out on the street, to make him realize that he is a fucktard. It seems odd to me that in one days notice and cash from somewhere around my neck of the woods he jumps onto an airplane and then gets kicked out of his guest accomadation.....food for thought
The regular posters here could care less about my lifestyle.
Quite so.
It's the contributions that matter. Make insightful, interesting, or witty comments? You're in. Repetitive, offensive, trolling? Not so much.
Casey's metrosexual appearance does invite speculation. And there is something very odd in the way that virtual strangers keep giving him money. Putting the innuendo aside for a moment, there must be something in his persona than makes him very convincing.
But I do think there's some truth to anon's claim that some haterz use the "gay" label to attack those they disagree with. Nigel bore the brunt of this, in degrees ranging from snarky innuendo to full-on hate.

Web marketing visionary and internet 2.0 guru Marty Stewart leaves the barn doors open again. (Nothing particularly shocking in this batch.)
I so want to be ON Stephanie J. A gun toting female with a rack like that is A OK in my book. She's got pretty toe nails too!
Mocha is a hood rat that only knows dudes by the name of "John".
Oh, and re Stephanie on the sharkcast: it's not like she got much of an opportunity to get a word in edgeways once Mocha got going.
Personally, I thought she handled it well: staying silent and giving Mocha's rabid frothings free rein just showed how classless Mocha really is.
@ 11:26 mejustme:
Yeah, like Casey needs the excuse to stop communicating with her. This ranks right up there with "I wanted to stop blogging, I really really did. That mean old Marty was making me and the Canadian supporterz wanted me to. That's why I did it."
And choosing words carefully? I think "I think they are bluffing... I'll check into it." should win some sort of (non-monetary, for the love of god) award for succinctness. If he chose his words any more carefully, there would be none at all!
Nice find, Flailbert... of course, you know that since Marty "Butters" Stewart aggressively monitors this site, you can expect that page to be closed down in a matter of hours, if not minutes :-Þ
Stephanie J beautiful? Let's have a look at her then. She already fucked up my fantasies when I heared that podcast. I am not into the "girl next door" type. Maybe a you tube vid will change my mind. But then how will I know its her??? Might be her sister. She already FINALLY admitted those boobs were cut and paste. Hey you up and coming Haterz. Any "real" hot chicks out there? Every dawg needs a bitch afterall. (Gangsta bitch Mocha is not my taste unfortunately)
@lawnmower man...
But eventually Nige came around, joined us & let's us still talk about koi, the sun & the axe effect.
Well, he never said that but we're not giving those up! You hear me Nigel?! And see...Haterz *CAN* change. Once upon a time the phrase "taking the brunt of it" would have had a VERY different connotation. :)
Cheers Nigel. Your last few posts have rocked.
Everyone take it easy on KC. it's free Smoothie at Jamba juice.

Wow, you really know how to woo the ladies!! That statement alone is probably why you spend most Friday and Saturday nights alone.
Murse boy is refusing to publish comments pertaining to his ripoff of Dan Brown. And some newbies over there are asking, "Can I buy your book on Amazon and in bookstores?" Of course such comments get through.
@truth of the matter:
you left out the steel-toed boots and dirty (yellow? green?) jeep. ;)
re: gay-bashing on EN
it disturbed me for a while, but like others have noted, there is a marked difference between the jesting tone of most haterz and the vile spewed out by trolls. doesn't mean I much like the way that the terminology is thrown around (same can be said for attacks on KC's "manliness"-- please, he's a disgrace to all of humanity, women included), but EN isn't big on PC-ness and that will come with the territory. Besides, calling KC any names at all can really be taken as an insult to the object of comparison. *shrug*
I do not know if anyone has been on Casey's site today, but he has announced a book being released next month called "The Foreclosure Code". Given this new revelation I now have no doubt we have all been scamed by him. Here is my breakdown;
First he has been very evasive and pissing on people's cornflakes. This causes people who hate him to build up his traffic and people who are sympathizers to do the same. He is playing one off on the other. He goes to Australia on a whim. At least we are suppose to believe that. While over there he gets interviewed by a local paper. To do this you must plan ahead. No one gives two shits about some loser American boy who lost $2.2mm in real estate dealings over here. Not enough to take time out of there reporting day to go interview him. Unless of course it was all planned out. Now he comes out with a book announcement. What a joke that is. Let me see if I got this straight with what he is going to do. He wants people to buy his book on how to fail in real estate and go $2.2mm in debt. Maybe it is just me, but I believe any fool can do that.
OMFG Flailing! That is hilarious AND shocking.
Seriously - MARTY - I know you are here. Reduce your Virtual Assistants & Spammers for awhile & hire a second (or maybe first?) IT professional to help you protect your goods! Seriously guy. I mean, we're enjoying this but if you're trying to make a living you need to get on that pronto!
@anon 11:41am- Could Casey be blocking the USPTO from seeing his willing infringement of Dan Brown's work?
I don't doubt it. That's exactly the kind of underhanded and dishonest bulshit he'd pull. But hey, I guess he's running scared now that he knows the Haterz are after him. He is clinically psycho after all, they like to run from the law!
@ Benoit™
Check your email, very important! ;)
~Mark
@Bemused
I remember back when I was still posting on IAFF when Kevin declared his being in love with me, you declared that you wanted me to be your 'fag hag'. I think that qualifies as an outing.
@ Benoit
Yeah, I know. That's why I checked out several of the mp3s to make sure it's not anything juicy. They're mp3s of a woman reading articles on SEO and traffic pumping techniques. Some of it is borderline shady, but nothing was illegal on the ones I listened to. I figure if nothing else, it will shut the trolls up for an hour while they go take care of it.
Folks - PERSPECTIVE please.
STOP calling the playground name calling gay bashing.
A few years ago a middle-aged friend of mine kissed his boyfriend goodnight in front a movie theatre in a "nice" neighborhood of a major metropolitan city. When they got to the corner they were jumped by 5 guys with baseball bats yelling "fag."
Now THAT boys & girls is a "bash." Trust me, he'd rather have been called a Granny Tranny from a passing blogger.
Now, can I go back to being a Hater ?
WHY was she willing to continue supporting her fradulant husband?
I'm not in the Galina infatuation camp, but the question of above is easily answered in general.
The only way to save a relationship with someone who is spiraling out of control is to get them to SAVE THEMSELVES. If you "turn them in" you will forever be his/her enemy. There won't be any real change -- they only got caught, and you ratted them out.
Obviously, if you love someone and you want them to do the right thing -- the right thing is to convince the person to stop and turn his/herself in (if it is a real crime) or stop doing the damaging things (alcohol, drugs, credit cards). The family can deal with the consequences together. They show they still love and will support the loser/family member. And no one is a rat or squealer.
There's not really any "turning in" to do in this case. Liar loans and cash-back are a dime a dozen, especially in the markets Casey was in. Casey needs to stop his freeloading and credit binge. Her role, if she wanted to keep the relationship, would be to get Casey to stop and also to let him know she would be there to help. AFAIK, this is exactly what she tried.
If Casey hadn't bought the most over-inflated crap houses and gone deeper in debt, this whole thing would be over.
I, for one, am in the "dump the loser" camp. But I can't make that decision for Galina. If she loves Casey (ewwww), then she has a right to try to get him to fix things HIMSELF with real change -- not an obligation to rat him out, and forever be his enemy.
If Galina has broken the law seriously enough to be an accessory to the crime (very doubtful), the best thing to save the relationship is to get Casey back home -- and for both of them to turn themselves in.
I'll reiterate that I'm still in the 'dump the loser' camp. But that isn't my call.
Go Patriots!
@Benoit
Strangely, I started duplicating the carmen sandiego logo with Csey's head on it, but it looks bad, so I decided to leave it be. Maybe I should take it up again tonight.
@LossMitPro: is it a headshot for CaseyPedia? :)
While we're on Marty's leaks, here's the Alexa cached version of Marty's directions to the Foreclosure Code cover artist. "This concept is based on the www.LapDanceCode.com graphics you did last year."
Say hello to the man behind the copyright-infringing magic: Vaughan Davidson of KillerCovers.com.

@Steph & Benoit
Last night I played with putting his head on a Where's Waldo pic. It didn't look right either....guess I lack thoze Mad IT Skillz.
Okay - goodnight folks!
I apologize.
When I said
Casey has not been the person coning people out of money
I misspoke. Casey is a con artist. A bad one. I was trying to reply to
Yes, the more I read, the more it looks like it that way. It's amazing to me just how far Casey Serin has con people/banks out of money and how stupid that kid is.
And what I was trying to say is although Casey is very eager to con anyone that he can, the brains that actually did the paperwork so that it would slip through the banks audits belonged to other people than Casey.
You can go back to the previous discussion now. I just did not want it on my conscious that I said Casey wasn't a criminal.
As a Casey hater, I want the mother fucker arrested.I know the local law enforcement is lo0king into it. I have also written a letter to the CA. Attorney General's office. Finally, I sent a lot of documents to special agent Sullivan at the SF FBI office.
Let's see if anything is done to put this smug dumbass behind bars.
Does it ever occur to you people that the time anttention you lavish upon Casey are his sole and only asset?
This guy is going to cash some huge checks based on the time, sweat, and efforts of all of you.
@ 12:19PM Stephanie J ROCKS!
You have got to be kidding me. We can all portray ANY image we want here. It is after all cyberspace. Stephanie J is no bad ass and you know it. Infact I don't think that Mocha is either. In between the slang she sneaks in some intelligent thoughts even is it is not my point of yiew. In fact all the people here besides Nigel, Mark, Duane and Marty are probably that their "real" selves. They are all just characters to me. I read and am amused but I don't know this people and won't claim to. Hence I am anonymous. Who are you kidding???
Nixson, the only thing Casey is going to get from the efforts of this crew is a jail cell (Deity willing).
Nixson @ 12:44 PM:
”This guy is going to cash some huge checks based on the time, sweat, and efforts of all of you.”
Well there may be checks cashed, I’ll give you that, but the likelihood Casey and/or Marty are going to obtain huge funds from those? Not if the State of California has anything to say about it. ;)
Nice thought though, just the same.
~Mark
Does it ever occur to you people that the time anttention you lavish upon Casey are his sole and only asset?
It occurs to me all the time, that's why I don't visit IAFF, and only the haterz sites. The real story is being controlled elsewhere now...with the trickly release of inside information from EN and Nigel.
I do worry that if Casey becomes an international vagabond for a year, he will indeed get enough material for a wealth-inducing speakers tour and book deal.
If he successfully re-brands himself "The world's most hater blogger" and goes on a free world tour offending everyone with his mooching skills. It might just work.
@ Lawnmower Man
Ha ha, thelapdancecode.com? Now that's funny.
Somebody else mentioned but I just checked for myself. There's something different about the comments on Casey's site.
Even the Haterz comments are bland, no anger shines through.
I bet if you did a word frequency analysis of three months ago versus now, you'd see a substantial difference in the choice of words and in sentence structure (length, verbs, etc).
I don't care enough about Casey to do that much work, though. :)
Mark Villasenor, go "lose" your self somewhere will you. I would hate to deal with you even in the real world. You are such an arrogant bastard even as a hater.
