Casey Who?
A gentleman wise beyond his score and four years pointed out a truism last week in another forum most of you likely know nothing about. It concerned a pet peeve of mine. I used to live down the street from Frank Gehry's "inside out house" in Santa Monica. And living in SoCal I've been exposed to his efforts over the years. With my engineering background and frugal nature his stuff has always evoked strong negative reactions. It's crap and I'm not afraid to call it crap. Well anyway back to the story. Turns out I am not alone and one enterprising New Yorker has printed up T-Shirts that read simply; "FUCK FRANK GEHRY." This made the rounds because Frank himself wears one while working out. My reply to all this attention? "You really want to fuck Gehry? Ignore him." Thus the thread title.

First architect?
Dammit....
Note to self....bitch slap aaron
fuck Murst.
hey i figured out how to sign in with my google account, so I am no longer anon.
Gehry = trolls
Ignore = fuck them
take that dude! ;)
2 in one day. I am basking in my firstness.
Just wait aaron... I'll reclaim my firstness
For all wondering about Gaysey's ethnicity -- on The McFly Tapes™, he says that the name "Serin" is not overtly Russian, although a large part of his make-up is in fact Russian.
He says there's some Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Finnish (!!). He mentions a specific minority group he belongs to called "Mardzin" (he spelled it out, and pronounced it mard-ZEEN). A google search doesn't turn up much, so wondered if he misspelled it.
He says the Anglicized name "Casey" literally comes from the letters K.C. -- in Cyrillic, that is. The name "Serin" is written as "CEPNH" (roughly) in Cyrillic, so his original initials were in fact K.C.
I saw somebody selling those shirts right by the IAC headquarters building he designed in NYC (which is completely atrocious imho).
something about the way they installed the glass resulted in several panes cracking, driving up projet costs.
and don't even get me started on his "miss brooklyn" project at the atlantic yards.
Right on ya smartypants!
... and with regards to domains, again I ponder who registered
www.freegalina.com
and had it redirect to Egg Super Nation™??
Gehry is a hack compared to the "Buckminister Fuller" of architects ... Frank Llyod Wright.
Bob Dawg, as a frugal engineer myself, I never fully appreciated Wright until I saw Talisin West. I found the little touches -- like tapered breezeways to create a natural wind tunnel -- truly genius.
Being tall, I don't appreciate his philosophy for doorways of "compress and release". But other wise, Wright was amazing.
I see ajudge issuing an order like this in Casey's future.
Speaking of building design screwups.....what's that building in L.A. that has polished panels which reflect and focus the sun's rays into a death beam on the adjacent building?

I tend to think that Casey exemplifies the maxim : a little knowledge is a terrible thing ...
The original gypsy comment is just plain ignorant. Casey may act like the proverbial gypsy but unlike U.S., U.K. and Irish Roma, east European Roma are quite dark and usually distinct from the local populace. The best example is to be found in ... Finland ... almost Dravidian looking, quite a contrast to the generally blonde Finns.
However, metropolitan Russians out of Moscow and St Petersburg would very much look down upon these people ex Tashkent as country bumpkins and I think it is in this light Casey et al. should be regarded.
I agree Casey is a mark. He found himself in the unguarded candy store and gorged himself. His relatives thought he was being resourceful until the obvious dawned upon them.
Given his patent amorality, maybe this is a truly brilliant move, his becoming a fugitive before he needed to. But money is the big question. Without a criminal organisation behind him, how is he going to access his stash?
Perhaps, Australia is a pre-planned stepping stone elsewhere.
It has been pointed out here that Oz is a little too bureaucratic for a guy like Casey to disappear.
South Africa used to be a good option for US fugitives but less so these days owing to tight cooperation between US and Pretoria. I think a low profile fraudster might get away with it in RSA but not Casey ... his profile is far too high. People are going to recognise him the world over. And contrary to what was stated elsewhere there is not a mass exodus occuring in South Africa, at least not yet. That honour belongs to New Zealand.
Did Casey ever develop a taste for dark skinned women in Sacto? If so, Sydney could just be a stop on the way to Bangkok, specifically Pattaya with its large concentration of ethnic Russians. There he could find plenty of Russian home cooking (mastered by nubile Thai women!) to replace the only thing Russians really miss.
But I repeat, Casey is a mark. And he would be a lamb to the slaughter in Pattaya, or for that matter in South Africa where (white) con men are a dime a dozen.
And it could be that Casey has already signed his death warrant by transferring his assets to an overseas network thinking that they will pay him his pension money once he gets there!
What kind of an engineer are you?
the dude @ 9:53:
"what's that building in L.A. that has polished panels which reflect and focus the sun's rays into a death beam on the adjacent building?"
Sounds pretty frugal, if you're in the reflective building!
Benoit - that russian name for Casey you provided ... the 4th ltr should actually be a backwards 'N'. Looks like this: серин
Just an FYI.
Loosers,
If and when I am no longer welcome as a guest at my Supporter's house, I have a backup plan in place using the corporate credit. Life would not be worth living if I had to stay in a hostel.
Sincerely,
Casey
As far as the speeding ticket, I think he planned to do traffic school. Does CA allow you to do that online (some states do)?
Check me out Haterz...I've got my own CaseyPedia entry

Folks,
Saying that Casey is Gypsy was just playing around.
In all honesty, calling Casey a Gypsy is an insult to all Gypys.
So is Galina staying quiet and accepting of her husband fraud and of leaving her holding the debt bag? I am begining to smell some BS here. I really think Galina is not all that inocent.
I guess I'm in the minority here and actually think the building looks cool.
@ Kevin: Benoit - that russian name for Casey you provided ...
I know how to spell phonetically in Cyrillic, I just didn't want to figure out how to type the actual characters. Hence the ("roughly") disclaimer afterwards ;-)
If so, Sydney could just be a stop on the way to Bangkok
Yeah, Thailand has long been a country of choice for flotsam and jetsam to fly in under the radar (though since the end of last year they've been tightening the visa rules).
Howecer, Bangkok is still certainly a place an enterprising young man can make a living earning sweet passive income, as this YouTube video shows (SFW, but with annoying music at start).
As far as the speeding ticket, I think he planned to do traffic school.
He's going to have a helluva time attending Sacramento traffic school from the Sydney Opera House! :-p
@The Dude,
It's the Walt Disney Concert Hall: http://p.vtourist.com/1058006-Walt_Disney_Concert_Hall-Los_Angeles.jpg
I understand the apartment-dwellers across the street don't appreciate it very much.
How about "Casey Serin is a criminal." t-shirts?
You can take traffic school online for Sacramento traffic court. However you still need to print the certificate out and pay the fine in person.
Is it just me, or am I getting the felling that Casey Frauded the banks AND has safely left the country while flipping his finger on all?
I mean, he went as far as saying that he "may have to go under the radar" when confronted with questions about the FBI coming after him.
I am not sure about the rest, but this sure looks like the perfect crime while farting on the face of the law.
RE: The speeding ticket...
In my youth, I had a speeding ticket (or three) that I ignored because I just didn't have the $$$ to pay it, so I know how this works.
They do NOT issue bench warrants for non-payment of speeding tickets. Your license is revoked until payment is made in full, but bench warrant's aren't issued.
Sorry to say, that ticket won't get his name to pop up on any gubmint no-fly lists.
How about "Casey Serin is a criminal." t-shirts?
"My husband ran away to Australia and all I got was this lousy bounced check"
R-Boy, also known as DC Economist, is of the earlier EN contributors.
Supposedly a government economist, and is one of the posters at EN that Nigel outed on DHC.
R-Boy has worked extensively "behind the scenes" with law enforcement authorities on various levels, and has made them fully aware of the Casey Serin story. R-Boy has spent hours collecting text excerpts and sound clips, all of which have been forwarded, in context, to the correct authorities...
Boy that R-Boy is one nosey mofo.
Has anyone spent any time of consequence really scouring the deeds, etc. to the properties Casey has purchased?
I HIGHLY suspect that Casey didn't just buy the properties listed on Caseypedia and IAFF. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that Casey took out loans for those homes, with inflated appraisals and cash back (as we already know), but also picked up a little something else on the side that wasn't disclosed to the lenders.
ie, you make a deal to buy two houses next door to each other. Well, you apply for a loan for only one of the addresses, get an inflated appraisal, get the loan for property a, never pay on it, and then when the lender forecloses on property a, you've still got property b next door, never having paid a dime for it.
You've got trashed credit, but you still go something for nothing (and some cash back to boot).
Now, participating in this sort of garbage would put our young con-artist into a whole different league. Now you're not just running afoul of mortgage laws, you've gotten yourself into organized crime and likely are on the wrong side of RICO.
At some point, the last act of this drama will come to an end. However, Caseypedia has GOT to go down in history as one of the best on the net.
HILARIOUS
Lucky Juicer.....you get your own entry. Nobody peed on their rug so I'm outta luck. The Jesus might have a shot...
I just saw that Egg Super Nation has a flag. Heh.
So with all that info, what the fruck are the law enforcers doing?
For goodness sake, Casey has admitted to fraud over and over and has even laught at the law with his going under the radar remarks months ago.
Now, he leaves the country and nobody does anything.
I understand some things move slowly, but the second he left the country, that was a BIG RED flag.

"Gehry is a hack compared to the "Buckminister Fuller" of architects ... Frank Llyod Wright."
I thought Bucky Fuller was the "Buckminister Fuller" of architects. Maybe you mean Frank Llyod Wright is the "Frank Lloyd Wright" of architects.
"something about the way they installed the glass resulted in several panes cracking, driving up projet costs."
Well, I guess that's what happens when you let an architect do a glazing contractor's job. Fuckin' Gehry, putting honest glazers out of business with his killer design-glaze contracts.
::begin rant::
How about FUCK THE EPA?
I envy anyone that doesn't have to submit reporting information via their shit-ass shoddily programmed web-submission site.. it is as non-intuitive is it can possibly be. . I want to punch the pinheads that put this shit together.
Fucking EPA.
::end of rant::
Come back to bed, baby.
Yeah its no surprise an engineer would dislike an architect. Architecture is art. Often loads of fluffery. Engineers are usually cheap.
Anyway art is subjective lets not start a thread on what is good and what is bad art. everybody has their own taste.
Gehry and Wright challenge convention and that is good.
Both have designed crap buildings. At least in terms of functionality. i am thinking leaky roofs here.
Now who's lost control of Casey's story? Casey is back in control if for no other reason than there's no news at all -- even from him. I give the boy credit for this clever volley. Any response immediately would have given more fuel to keep the dawg pound going. Now, the dawg pound is out of kibble. And believe me, I'm sad about that. I refuse to go to IAFF out of principle since the site is "monetized" now. The dawg's need to throw us new meat, we've chewed on these old bones long enough. And really these oil-soaked leather chew toys are getting rancid -- what a canard the Gypsy debate is. The Serin Disinformation Team (if there was one) should now know the dawg pound can be thrown off the scent rather easily -- throw them a immigrant/ethnic-scented panty-wad. They'll go braying off in all different directions (heterodyne, indeed).
Personally, I think Casey is a born bottom™ -- he's a mark. The MLM crowd and pyramid builders know he's only cut out to be the bottom block of any scheme. The cash-back deal proved him to be a fool. Deep down Casey must resent being the rube more than anything. He should be after the ponzi crowd more than us! I hope REFB.com does expand its scope.
Cheers to the Haterz™
Casey said "Making money from blog advertising is the best way for me right now to stay afloat and feed my family."
Yeah right. You are in Australia living it up and your wife is left holding the bag.
You are truly deluded, Casey.

I want a troll! There's plenty to go around - please, please will one of you climb out of your hole in the shallow end of the gene pool and make fun of me?!?
@ solatic:
I wasnt the one that said that Gehry is a hack. Though i don't personally like his buildings, I know people who enjoy his curvy monstrosities. That being said, hey, its not another plain glass box going up in Manhattan. I am a finance geek, so my knowledge on the subject is somewhat limited.
I think it was because the glass was straight panels that were put in to curved places, so some stress was put on the panes. Some cracked under the strain.
and they installed about 10 of them upside down, which was pretty hilarious (and took a month to fix).
Your doing a heckuva job Brownie!
My father was David Koresh. I lost my manhood in that raid, and I blame the DOJ for the loss of my wang and my father.
I understand that the DOJ is a Neo-Con secret society political organization that exists to persecute innocent dissenters while turning a blind eye to corruption and widespread malfeasance. It's their job. They have an agenda, the destruction of the middle class and the rise of corporate fascism and criminal politicos.
@Troll - Did you copy my resume? Shoot!
Yes, in fact the DOJ is in cahoots with the HandJob machines plotting world domination.
Strawman, who do you blame for your stupidity?

So going back to Galina Serin.
Is she now supporting her fradulant husband, or is she coming clean and talking to the law?
You can't have it both ways honey. Which one is it?
Quick thoughts - The original sale and profit on Casey's first condo is what set him in motion. He perceived himself as a great businessman. He was marginal before, and there's probably evidence of that (the chain letter at 14) but the condo sale sent him over the edge, ego-wise.
The trolls don't love Casey. Heck, they probably don't even like him. He's just an easy meal ticket. That's why they're fighting so hard (well, hard for them). They honestly believe they can ride his coattails to some hard cash.
Robbie,
Just a thought, but you really should work on the graphics and pic. Resize to the max allowed by the resolution....anymore, and quality sucks

Is an open house a waste of time?
For homemaker Sue Wildrick, it was the koi ponds that killed the deal.
While the house she and her husband looked at in Denver last winter had its appeal, its elaborately bricked-in backyard and large network of fish ponds seemed like too much work. "It was a little overwhelming," Wildrick says. And it provided little room for the family to play games or throw a ball to their dog. "We would have probably had to take some of that stuff out."
This has nothing to do with anything. Ignore it.

sweet photochopping there
Anything happening? Its starting to get boring again. I think Casey is back in control right now.
My self-esteem is low today. My job is the epitome of mediocrity; my partner has cut me off sexually; and frankly, she disgusts me these days anyway, her flabs of fat and her cottage cheese, pimply ass... not sexy to me any more.
I'm bored. I feel inferior to the sharp guys in my office with their real wool suits and tasteful ties; I'm just here wearing polyester pants and a polo, picking at the acne, that even in my thirties, hasn't subsided.
But my life does have one highlight. I can go to EN and be a contrarian. Not because I really have any convictions, but just to stir up controversy and to make myself feel relevant.
IRL, I have no convictions. I go with the flow. Here, they can't see my pitiful being. Here, I can be a man. They'll never know my woman henpecks me into a milquetoast--and nobody talks to me when I sit outside with my PB&J every day.
"They'll never know my woman henpecks me into a milquetoast--and nobody talks to me when I sit outside with my PB&J every day."
Did the boss take away your red swingline?
Some of the new IAFF comments are hilarious. For example:
You know, I’ve been thinking about your situation, Casey.
Until you show a financial win, the haters will keep coming.
Let’s not give them that satisfaction.
I think that an up-front advance on the book deal will shut them up.
He's as delusional as Kostya.
You are a bunch of hippocrates. I am abhorred that everyone is up in arms over the allegation that Casey is a gypsy yet how many anti gay remarks are made withoug batting an eyelash. As an homosexual, I am flabbergasted. Oh and on the united nation of robdawg every body has to agree or there labelled a troll. That is an insult to little people if you ask me. You can go to IAFF and troll but get mad when some one imparts with disagreement here????
And to the poster who gloryfied Buckminster Fuller, I used to live in Tarzana and had one of those obtrusive geometric homes down the street from me. It was ugly. Just shows you have no taste. Don't try to get obscure, I have google and know how to use it.
To the females, please impose as a male and post your footwear picture so that I can masterbate furiously over it while fantasizing about some sweet internet hookup.
Last to anyone with a smartass response let me just say with forethought that you are neither clever or funny. Since you are so all easily perturbed let me just preclose you and say that you are all a bunch of homo gypsies. And don't talk bad about R-Boy and our fine men AND woman in service to this country fighting for freedom against terrorism. Do you have now. Yah they miss a bunch of people across the borders but what about all the border hoppers they DID catch???? Always precipitating on the negative!!
Yeah, KC is back in control.

Wow, that hurt.

I'll explain it. That's your opinion and you can shout it as loud as you think you can manage. The posts that were deleted were repetitions of this you have been told are categorically untrue. Speculate all you want but you have to show some capacity to move towards the dark side (the truth).

Bring my friend a wheatgrass! STAT!
Architecture (as a from of design) is much like any other art form. There are visionaries who push the envelope of design and there are craftsmen who follow without making any real impact.
Geary, Wright, Maybeck, Olmstead, Morgan, Pei, Howard and others design buildings that are well beyond ordinary.
Time must judge these structures. Current tastes change and the ability of a building to withstand the changing vagaries of taste will tell if it lasts for a hundered years or is torn down in fifty.
I personally find his buildings fascinating. I would not want to build one. I would not want to live in one. I would not want one near me. But I look forward to seeing how they stand the test of time.
