I wish I could say a lot more, but it all came down to choosing between my wife and this blog. In order to keep the marriage I had to kill my 9-month-old baby who was just beginning to walk and talk (meaning the blog starting to produce full-time income). As much as I resented having to make this choice, I love my wife and I want to do the right thing. May God help me move on and help us rebuild our lives in the right way.
He resents it. That's low. Kudos to everyone woh knew he couldn't stay away. Kudos to everyone who knew he's blame someone/something other than himself.

Waaahha!!! Waaahha!!! Waaahha!!!!
Not my fault! Not my fault!
Wait until he starts adding new pages to his "exit" page.
Whatta schmuck.
Yay, a Casey Post! I was just lamenting the lack thereof.
Did this latest update replace the refund offer to his "Primo" link-ads?
Fuck the little weasel, it's only just getting difficult for him, the crying hasen't started yet for him.
Without IAFF he'll really have nothing to do all day now. He'll just pretend to be looking for jobs, and sleep when Galina's away.

He's changed the farewell message ***again***!!!
Jeez, somebody get a net...

Cutting the fat.
Another win for Team Casey!

"It's All Good
Hmmm....changed the "goodbye" message again. That sonofabitch is weaseling his way back...book it; it's gonna happen.
Steph, I'll pretend to be Casey to keep you around. :)
Anyway...just when I thought he could'nt go any lower...Casey takes out his shovel and goes a couple feet deeper. Oh, wait, it's Casey, he outsourced it.
Is he really equating a blog witha fucking CHILD?!?!?!!?
He's gone. He's in too deep to swim back on his own. He needs 24 lockdown gambler's rehab, stat. He has lost all reason, and he has zero respect for his wife, and he has no fucking clue what love means. He loves her, yeah, right. He loves what she represents, and he loves the almost free room and board while he spends a year surfing the web.
Fuck you, Casey. Fuck you deeply and slowly, with a dull chainsaw.
And, like it needs to be pointed out, he renegs on yet another promise, the one to shut the blog down to a bare white page. His blog is his crack, his cocaine, he could'nt even go 24 hours without a hit. He's pathetic. No, he's worse. He's ENJOYING this, he loves the victim role too much, he's a willing martyr, because in his little pea sized weasel mind, it's juts another chapter in the book that will sell gazillions.
LOL. Wow, there's some angst left!
Way to go, Casey. You can't even fail right.
Wow, he didn't touch the blog for what, a full 18 hours? Such self-restraint!
Galina will surely be impressed.
Ha... well it's is clear now that Galina was wise to specify a BLANK WHITE page.
Casey needs God's guidance to help him find a job folding pants at the Gap, or busing tables at Macaroni Grill?
Every time someone leaves a lousy tip at his table, or he has to fight traffic on his work commute, or his boss chews him out for being late to work, or ... , he will curse his wife.
MURST MOIST FOIST
OMG.
He's gone...where am I gonna to get my daily drama fix (tm)?
Honestly, I'm surprised the fucktard managed to last this long.
But, he won't be able to stay away. Without his blog, he's nothing. His wife? Or should I say soon to be ex-wife? An unpleasant distraction.
He better get used to living in that Jetta.
I truly can't believe he linked Caseypedia - the haterz bible in to IAFF! (which is really a way of trolling for IAFF hits until he can update IAFF in secret at the library). And yeah - there's lots of IAFF stuff still there hidden away. He might have half blanked it but the content is still in there waiting for Galina to turn her pretty head away. Who'd of thought a wife needs to do an IT course to keep dibs on her husband!
Has anyone noticed the tag at the bottom of the "goodbye" page --
Last updated June 1st, 2007
The blog that shall never be updated again, despite having been updated at least 5 times in a day, has a "last update" tag.
Yeah, Casey will surely be able to stay away from IAFF :-p
He updated it again. This time, he added all his media links.
Great googley mooglies, he's edited it since Rob posted.
Glad to know even he knew comparing the blog to a child is WAY over the line - I would have loved to see Galina read THAT one.
Someone needs to get to Galina and tell her to monitor the url every hour for the next year, he's going to fiddle with it endlessly while he pretends to find a job. I know that's what he's doing, she's letting him use HER laptop (it's hers now) to look for a job, and instead he's fucking around with his blog. he cannot let it go.
Divorce within 6 months. Bet on it. Anyone who's resentful of an intervention eventually leaves. He's all but physically gone from the marriage anyway.
He's secretly hoping for an out from his marriage so he can blog himself into oblivion.
That "blank" page has just been updated with a glory page of press and media clippings. Give it up Casey! You'll lose Galina mate.

"It's All Good!"
Last updated June 1st, 2007
Conspiracy Theorists would allege that this is all part of Gaysey's master plan -- get the Haterz to go into Serin-withdrawal, and then post something like: The blog is back but now requires a Login and Password to access. And you can get your own, for only $10! SWEET DEAL!!
The witch is DEAD!
You know guys, the funny part here is how Karma came back at Casey in full force.
Think about it, just as Casey begun to see the light, his blog starting to make money, right after all of the "hard" work Casey put in, to see the fruits of your labor come true:
SMACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His dream came to a complete HALT.
Thinnk about it. If he had close down his blog say 4 months from now after realizing that he could not sustain the 1,000.00 a week, he would have at least felt that in the end, it did not work out.
BUT NO! He got slammed shut RIGHT at the PEAK and I do mean PERFECT PEAK of his Dream showing a profit.
If this is not Karma at it best, I don't know what is.
In few shorts words: Baaaaaaaaaaa HAHAHHAHHHHAHAAHAHHA
Say what you will, the lad may be a messed-up sociopath, but he does know how to provide entertainment...
As has been noted, Galina knew what she was doing when she specified a blank IAFF page. We'll see how she responds to Casey's constant testing of the boundaries.
If casey is anything, he's a coward. He will not ask for a divorce, but he'll arrange it in his passive aggressive way. "SHE wanted the divorce, not me!"
We're watching him do it.
The terms of teh contract were NO blogging, period, NO side deals, a w-2 job and that's it.
Why would he need a mailing list?
Why would anyone care about contacting him? Especially since he now has his Sweet Media Conacts™ up, it means if more MEDIA wants to contact him.
He's forcing Galina's hand.
And to be honest...I hope it works. She deserves better. He deserves to be alone, blogging down by the American river in a van.
I swear, he's like a 5 year old writing on the walls sullenly because mommy yelled at him.
M&P, I couldn't agree more, that's EXACTLY what he's doing.
As for me, I have been IAFF-free for weeks now, so I couldn't care less.
God, is Galina going to have to actually specify to him "No, you may not talk to the media about the blog, or your story, or about us."
She's trying to put this in the past, and he will not let it go. He must really think he's a celebrity, that it *matters* that he's on the web.
Doesn't he understand, he's just a homeless dude without a laptop who owes a shitload of money?
Give it time folks.
Casey will be back, divorced, saying it's all good becuase Galina can now "move forward" and "live happy" and he will continue bloggin.
A con-artist is always that, day and night. The only way we will know for sure if the "con-artist" in Casey is dead for sure will be after YEARS of a proven track record.
Hope Casey get's a W2 Loooser job soon as I can't wait to call him at his new job to asking him why he thumbed his nose at those of us who tried to honestly help him and why he tried to antagonist us so much. Why Casey why?
I've come to the conclusion that he will not ever get a job.
Ever.
It's part of his insanity.
He will choose homelessness, living on people's couches or move back in with Mommy and Daddy and try more schemes and cons over getting a damned job, paying off his debt, and maybe enjoying life and a stable, happy home with his wife.
I honestly do not think he realizes what he's going to miss, in his insane drive towards his shiny goals.
To the moderator of CaseyPedia.com
You need to update your site to include these new facts on how Casey has already broken his contract by updating his blog 5 times since the original contract of a "blank page".
Ummm, Casey.
Yes, Casey. We all know you read this. Hold on a moment. The latest is not a goodbye letter, it is a stay tuned letter. That's fine, we are all used to reading between the lines. No, you need to listen to something else and it isn't about the wisdom of chosing a life over your blog. Press and media links are covered. Caseypedia is there to document everything. Open comments are covered, that's why I've opened up EN to the subject. Updates are covered by the hundreds of daily feeds on keywords. We thank you for sharing those parts of the story you presented, we thank you for the parts you couldn't conceal. We thank you for bringing us together but it is time to think of yourself. Yes, for once do the selfish thing. let your child, "The Casey Story" go. It has outgrown you. We'll take it from here. Oh, and if they give you crayons, be sure to write.
*6* times. He just changed it again to add his photos.
*shaking head*
He may have snapped.
Rob, betcha a memory card that he adds an archive of his posts at some point. That's all he needs to put the blog back together.
Do you think he's still gonna do the Fraudcast tonight?
"It will never be back as we knew it."
CaseyPedia is trying to stay on top of the updates, but it's a moving target...
"...It will never be back as we knew it....."
AS WE KNEW IT????? What, as something ELSE?
fucktard.
This is turning into a turd troll. Lawnmower and I have been updating Caseypedia on the never ending farewell but clearly we have some sort of infinite gain feedback loop going on and maybe we'll burn out first!
Galina should petition for an annulment on the grounds that she married a child. I cannot imagine having to babysit my husband the way she babysits Casey. Honestly, my three-year-old is more responsible than he is.
Seriously, call or e-mail Steven Serin and have him get Galina online RIGHT NOW.
That will end the loop, fast.
Maybe even with a shoe.
Guys, guys!
Casey is luring you to do what he wont do himself - to get Galina to divorce him so that he can continue.
What you need to do, is to encourage Galina to stay with this bastard. They both comitted mortgage Fraud and they both deserve each other.
He's now surpassed even my expectations of him as a pathetic "looser". And that is saying something!
The murse-man, er boy, er whatever he is, can't even walk away correctly. He needs to tell us that he is doing the right thing by walking away from the blog to be with his wife??? Hey Einstein, that should be between you and your wife, not the blogging community. Does he want a golden murse for doing what he should have done a long time ago?
Every move he makes is littered with clues to his bizarre nature. I'm no professional but it seems a psychiatrist would have a field day with him. Just in the last 24hrs he's shut down the blog, come back, did numerous revisions on his farewell statement, equated his blog to a baby, had to tell everyone he was doing the right thing, left the door open to keep on contacting him, invoked God, put up his press clipping, made the photos of himself still available...I mean you could go on and on. He is a Freudian delight.
I wouldn't employ him to run a McDonald's drive through window (I'd be afraid he'd be pocketing the change). But it's all good.
He is going to have one hell of a time assimilating into non-debt, live within your means, 9 to 5 lifestyle. I expect him to face plant and bury himself deeper than a bunker buster bomb before exploding if he tries it. He could end up in an asylum somewhere.
Of course that is if he is just whacked out loon. I've always thought he was a con man. Now I think he's a totally delusional con man.
Like I said yesterday, he's hiding in the bathroom with his PDA, blogging away.
He's jonesing big time now LOL
Well I think Caseypedia contributed in some way to the shutdown (imagine Steve, Galina, Yulia etc reading their entries - fuck!). Now however we seen to have have Snowflake attempting to counter Caseypedia with mods and links to the farewell page.... you can hear him whining to Galina as we speak 'but I have to counter what they are saying!'.
Sad part is we want him to stop. We know it is the right thing to do. We knew the descent was going to be ugly and we knew we would have to watch. That doesn't mean it is pleasant to watch.
He says "It will never be back as we knew it", meaning it'll be back, just with a few differences. Wait and see. There might be another Gatzilla around the corner.
Yeah, the whole thing is a passive aggressive "fuck you" to his wife, his family, and to us.
Casey, I know you read this.
You are not famous.
You did not get attention and press for your skills, your personailty, or your wisdom.
You got attention because you are a complete and utter fuck up.
Until you realize this, you will never succeed. You WILL lose your wife, your temporary home, all your friends and family, and any shred of respect anyone has for you.
Capiche?
You are not famous.
You are not a good business man.
You are a fuck up.
Let me put it this way:
In high school, the captain of teh football team gets attention because of what he does.
You are getting attention because he just tripped you and you face planted into your lunch tray,a nd the whole room is laughing at you.
Got it?
Fuck up.
Not famous.
"Unpleasant" won't even work as a euphemism for what is happening. This is frightening. He's become unhinged.
The fact that fucktard can't even leave his blog for a couple hours just shows that the little attention whore is fiending.
Maybe it's a good thing he didn't sell the blog because he probably would have paid five times that on his corporate credit to buy the blog back.
Just go get a w-2 looser job Fliptard!!!!
I go to lunch and it's changed yet again...
> It will never be back as we knew it.
He simply cannot control himself, he is addicted. He can't have the blog, so he'll continulally change the "goodbye" page... until it is no different from a blog.
Any bets on which comes first? Will Galina and Co. "clairify" their position or will the mouth breather put up advertising links on the goodbye page?
At least we'll know when he gets kicked to the curb, he'll have the blog back up before Galina finishes tossing his stuff on the lawn.
> It will never be back as we knew it.
Sheesh. Another way of saying; "It will be back, oh yes."
We'll know for sure when he puts a sitemeter on the goodbye page. Or his Google Analytics code, which isn't visible unless you view source. Kind of surprised it's not there already.
I notice in the current version EN gets some sweet foreclosure juice too...
I went there, saw a very quick blank white page with "Im Sorry"
and now its blank white.
...frightening. He's become unhinged.
I'm not there yet. A minnow on the beach without water at most. Casey doesn't have "last act of defiance" or "from hell's heart I stab at thee" in him. Nevermind Melville being a complete mystery to caseyworld™.
That said, anything, anything at all that happens from this point forward will need answers in the halls of justice. The complete lack of action by our LE agents will not go unnoted.
its commented out according to the source page
If there was ever any doubt about his mental instability the continually updated "goodbye" page cinches it.
IN very light text, it says:
I'm sorry.
Now it's it a nearly blank white page with
I'm sorry.
I'd hate to be Murse-Boi's parents. As M&P says, he'll never get a job. Mark my words, sooner or later his parents will have to choose between making him homeless and supporting him for the rest of their lives.
Looser.
Years from now, I'll have my own land complete with a pond with koi and stuff, and Snowflake will be just another Sacto bum raving about how he just needs one more sweet deal to pull himself out.
What a waste.
What a douche. He's a fracking attention whore.
Oh Casey, remember those lame penny stocks you suggested? I called that too. LOOOOOOOSERS. I just bought a penny stock in a TASER like company and have made over 100% of my investment back in a matter of days. How did I do it, Casey? I did it by watching the market, understanding how penny stocks work and not buying into speculation. If I play a penny stock I buy low float companies with growth potential. Not speculative mining plays. And guess what, genius? I didn't need a "team" nor did I need my tax....errrr CPA to do it.
Argh, you will always be a loser in business. You are a tool and will always be one.
Okay, now there's a header in off-white that says "I'm sorry"
This kid just won't let go!
IAFF now just a blank page...
Casey is Mary, Queen of Scots!
But the source code is still there. It's 'the site that must not be seen."
So he's finally sorry?
Or is he sorry to be ending it like this?
Casey, better a White Album than have to live in your car (Magical Misery Tour).
NR
PS Casey Fannnn..... good allusion.
Did Galina catch him adding to the blog and make him take it down? It would be a violation, you know (hehe).
I'm Sorry in white? Sorry about what? Sorry to whom?
Casey stuck his PDA up his anus.
Casey is blogging from his anus now. He moves left and right, marking on character at a time.
Like I said, Galina and Casey deserve each other.
Poor wittle Casey. He's trapped by life, trapped by debt and trapped by the wife.
He's going manic on us.
this is just too funny!!! oh, the entertainment...
Guys, guys!
Casey is just trolling. Notice how he changed it after the entries here.
I keep telling all of you that this guy AND FAMILY are all crooks.
Casey will be back with a different story line, even "divorced" to protect Galina.
It will all end when the FEDS take Galina and Casey away in handcufs.
I'm sure previous posters have covered this, but my goodness- Casey behaves like a 2 year old (trying to test limits and see what he can get away with).
What's worse, at least my toddlers (and I'd imagine most at that!) know that at some point, you quit screwing around...that there's a threshold you just don't cross.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MORON?!?!?!
Sorry, I just find this entire scenario completely unbelievable. When a two year old acts like this, it's a normal part of development. When an adult acts like this, it's just plain manipulative and disgusting.
Casey: if you want to play with the big boys, start acting like one. Choose the blog or your wife. Claiming to choose your wife and then seeing what you can get away with is pathetic.
@dawg
Ok, maybe "unhinged" isn't there quite yet. But when he starts nailing fake krugerrands to the the telephone pole outside yulia's house for his bird-dogging mailmen... that's when I call game over.
I think Galina caught Casey updating his farewell tour and forced him to revert to the blank page.
Of course, being the button pusher that he is, he puts the "I'm sorry" text in pale gray. Unless you look closely, you can't really see it.
"See, honey? It's a blank page! Just like the contract says."
What a sad situation.
I can't believe he named Caseypedia as "funniest" of the Hater sites. Apparently the kid can't different between genuine humor and an entire thinly-veiled insult site that asserts that he's a financially irresponsible, little-educated, mentally ill, metrosexual psychopath!!
different = differentiate :)
@Benoit: Casey sees only surface glamor. He reads Caseypedia's snark as "funny" without seeing the savagery underlying it.
It's the same lack of discrimination that led him to swallow Rich Dad Poor Dad whole without ever stopping to question any of it or to think for himself.
Do you think he's considered posting here or at Caseypedia directly?
Somebody cut the feedback loop.... damn - that was a good troll/bait rally going on there!
They'll get divorced for sure. He'll resent the fact that he has to work like the common man, making his daily life even more miserable than it already is. He already resents that he has to take down his blog. At this point he should just do exact what his wife wants him to do, but he won't since he's a sociopath.
As soon as he served with the divorce papers, he'll be back online. His wife will be fine. She's a pretty girl who will put up with endless amounts of BS. That makes her a hot commodity among men.
Anon @12:44
Are you speaking from experience? If so, from which perspective?
@UK: no. He won't comment on hostile sites -- he only commented at Housing Panic back when the story was first emerging.
If he does comment, it'll be via an "approved" update on IAFF, or by a well-controlled leak to Nigel.
(And as for Caseypedia: he'd never get through NoDebt's approval.)
(Oh, and I still think there's a outside chance of a talkcast -- other Sweet Media are not controlled by the Agreement -- although if it does happen it'll be a quick statement with no calls taken. Unlikely, though.)
Future communication through HTML source code will be forth coming. ;)
FlipTart keeps trolling us.
But the best part is knowing that he took down his blog right at the PEAK of starting to make money.
That Karma sure is a bitch, isnt she Casey?
To the guy that runs CaseyPedia.
Are you able to put a polling area in your site?
I would like to see a poll asking if Casey will be back or not and another poll with a timeframe by which he comes back.
How did he do that? I can only see "I'm sorry", and cannot select any other text (I thought it might be white text), but when I view source, I can see all that other stuff...
Hey maybe we can start up the whole blog again...we can all post this secret way (where we all have to 'view source').
This way, things can be all sweet and Galina will never know!!!!!!!
OMG
Sorry?
Another win for Team Galina!
@Anon 12:44: Unfortunately, I think you're right. In his warped mind, he will think that his wife forced him to quit right when he was about to "succeed", and he will deeply resent her. That resentment will kill the relationship sooner rather than later.
And for those not worried about the wife finding someone else--you might be right, young and attractive and submissive always count for a lot--but if the aspiring man gets a glimpse of her finances he isn't going to be able to run fast enough. Someone with $100k in debt would have to be Helen of Troy's twin sister to land a husband.
If they divorce does she get half of his murse? If so, will he take over have and keep it as a mur?
What are the odds we can raise some money in paypal and get her to show us the goodies? That could be a hot site, naked chicks with "past due" notices...that's a fetish site that hasn't been done yet.
Anyone have a look at the HTML source on IAFF? Wonderboy simply wrapped what had been up as HTML comments and replaced it with his "I'm Sorry" message.
Hmmmm - "I'm sorry, Galina" or "I'm sorry, readers" or "I'm [feeling] sorry [for myself]"?
Galina Serin is damaged goods.
Yes, that debt she has and the California forclosures are going to hurt for years.
Galina Serin needs to face federal and IRS fraud charges just like her husband.
I am proud that Galina stood up and faced the music, 8 homes and 9 months too late, but she did it. Now it time for Galina to dance to the music she and hubby created. No more, NO less.
"I'm sorry, yes I am, for everything that I've done.
How can I do this right, without you in my life?
Even though I say I love you I've gotta make a change in my life, baby,
I realize that you're better off without me by your side.
You're a special lady and I know I'm not ready for you, oh"
@early_retirement
No, it's "I'm sorry" as in:
I'm one sorry-ass lazy good-for-nothing fliptard con-man.
It's coming folks:
"Galina, you are so much better off without me. I was slowing you down. You are so much happier now, it's all good!"
Then the IAFF blog starts up once again, but now, in full trolling mode and puke-like comments.
I will say it again, until the Feds stop Casey AND Galina, this kid wont stop.
"I'm sorry...because I'm a gutless coward, and I'm going to slink off tonight when you're asleep with my laptop and pda and live in my car. You've stood in my way of my true destiny as a real estate tycoon for the last time and i won't let you anymore! I can't tell you that to your face, because I'm a gutless coward, so I'm going to put a passive aggressive note on MY blog, which will stay there until I have wireless interent access in the back seat of the Vdub. I did'nt work so hard all year to get that sweet press and attention, and I'm going to blog about it! You're not the boss of me!"
(I feel dirty after typing that)
caseypedia is down? I have been folloeing this whole saga for the last week or so (while recovering from major surgery). I am still in the dark about most of this bs, most likely due to the heavy pain meds-
\
does anyone know why caseypedia is down?
Yes on the dirty part.
I feel like I have to take a shower every time I visit FlipTart web site.
The passive agressive part in me wants to do Galina, but then I would have to shower the rest of the month.
"I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to"

Flip This House' Star Accused of Fraud
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 4:13 p.m. ET
ATLANTA (AP) -- On an episode of A&E's popular reality series ''Flip This House,'' Atlanta businessman Sam Leccima sits in front of a run-down house and calls buying and selling real estate his passion.
Now authorities and legal filings claim that Leccima's true passion was a series of scams that included faking the home renovations shown on the cable TV show and claiming to have sold houses he never owned.
''This is, indeed, a con artist,'' said Sonya McGee, an Atlanta pharmaceutical representative who says Leccima took $4,000 from her in an investment scheme.
McGee and others say Leccima's episodes of ''Flip This House,'' A&E's most popular show, were elaborate hoaxes. His friends and family were presented as potential homebuyers and ''sold'' signs were slapped in front of unsold houses. They say the home repairs -- the lynchpin of the show -- were actually quick or temporary patch jobs designed to look good on camera.
Leccima says he never claimed to own the homes. While not acknowledging his televised renovations were staged, he didn't deny it and suggested that A&E and Departure Films, the production company that makes the show, knew exactly what he was doing.
''Ask anybody who works in television how a reality show is made and you'll find that ours was a very typical approach,'' Leccima said in a telephone interview.
When it recently learned of the claims against Leccima, the cable network pulled reruns of his episodes off the air and wiped his mentions from its Web site.
Leccima, 36, presented himself as a successful real estate investor during the 2006 season of the cable show, which depicted him buying, refurbishing and reselling Atlanta-area homes for profits of $77,000 and more. But Leccima doesn't have a real estate license -- it was revoked by the Georgia Real Estate Commission in 2005, with the panel ruling he ''does not bear a good reputation for honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, and competence.'' Now he's under investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State's office for securities fraud.
Leccima said his lawyer advised him against talking about the investigation or the claims made by McGee and others. He did say that some of the criticism stems from his high profile.
''I'm a business person and I think I have as many people that like me as don't like me,'' he said. ''Anyone who puts their face on national television should realize they've signed a Faustian deal of sorts.''
However, Atlanta-area real estate records show Leccima never owned several of the homes he's been shown fixing up on television.
WAGA-TV in Atlanta, which first aired the claims against Leccima, has shown footage from inside one of the homes, which had mismatched wooden floors and unpainted patched walls that were out of the view of TV cameras on ''Flip This House.''
McGee said she attended what was billed as a wrap party at one home. But when the party was shown on ''Flip This House,'' it was presented as an open house at which someone expresses interest in buying the property.
New York-based Departure Films did not return repeated telephone calls to its offices by The Associated Press. A&E spokesman Dan Silberman said the network has stopped working with Leccima, who doesn't appear in this season's episodes.
''We are dismayed to learn of these allegations,'' read a statement issued by the network. ''A&E Television Networks is not a party to any of the transactions shown in Flip This House and has not received any formal complaints about the properties or sales.''
Silberman said the network -- a joint venture of Hearst Corp., Walt Disney Co. and General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal -- doesn't investigate claims made by people on the show, opting to take them at their word.
The Better Business Bureau gives Leccima's company, Leccima Capital Partners, LLP, an ''unsatisfactory'' rating, saying four complaints have been filed against it in three years.
One of the complaint was from McGee, who said she considered Leccima a friend -- even vacationing in Brazil with him and his wife. She said the Leccimas stopped returning her calls once she started asking for her money back.
Dan Ward, an Atlanta-area youth minister, said he told state investigators that Leccima took about $100,000 from him to invest in real estate, but, as far as he knows, Leccima never developed anything with it. He hasn't received his money back.
McGee said appearing on the TV show made it easier for Leccima to find such investors: ''As soon as that first episode aired, he got phone calls from people saying, 'I love you. Where can I send you some money?'''
does anyone know why caseypedia is down?
Sympathy?
Back up now; just a blip.
oh wow! he must really be in trouble with Galina. All day his myspace account has been public; now, it is set to private. Only the people he gives access to can view it. www.myspace.com/caseyser
How much you wanna bet fliptard was trying to work deals through his MySpace page?
It's like finding bottles a drunk stashes - she's gonna have to get rid of the laptop and forbid them in the house.
Either that, or she reads here.
Galina. You can do so much better. Run! Run now!
Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
Yeah
(The apologies of a thug)
Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
Baby
Casey is pulling everything down.
He will be reborn:
IAFF 2.0 After Galina.
Who cares who dumped who. Traffic and Hate will flow and he will come out on top.
You tell me
Mistakes
Are part of being young,
But that don’t right the wrong that’s been done.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry,
Hmm, hit the headlines:
Notorious debtor Serin shuts down blog
Link to caseypedia too. Wondered why the server was sufferin'.
Our good friend Declan.
@1:31 anon
flipthatlawsuit.com
Maybe I need some time away
To get my head together
Maybe this was my last chance
I may never get to hold your hands again
I can say that I'm a better man
I'm sorry
Go to the site... you will get a plain white page.
Type ctrl-a to select all... and you will get "I'm Sorry" in selected text.
Everything's a game to fliptard. He can't just quietly close the site, get a job and love his family.
He's got to screw everything up.
flickr photos are all gone now.
She must be sitting there going through his bookmarks with him.
I'm betting no fraudcast, unless he escapes out a window and goes down to Jamba Juice.
To CaseyPedia.com guy - Your server keeps going down dude.
With the recent post at cnet pointing to your web site, now more than ever, make sure it works.
You rock Declan.
Yep: looks like Galina laid down a nuclear smackdown on Casey. Hope he also got the kick in the nuts that Steph longed for for so long.
Caseypedia is hurtin'. NoDebt, I hear Casey has a sweet dedicated server going spare right now...
(While it's down, though: check out Caseypedia's whois entry. Sweet.)
Casey really pissed me off, but he's kinda cute. I'd happily butt fuck him.
Holy crap, Rob Dawg is getting some Sweet Press™!!!!!
On the Caseypedia whois, shouldn't the zip code be 02759?
Wow, I was actually working and stuff, and just checked in. That's blank page with the "I'm sorry" on it is extremely pathetic.
For a while, i thought he was going to just rebuild the blog, by adding it back element by element; starting with the media list.
I guess someone small and brunette nipped that fucker in the bud.
Caseypedia's back up and I'm watching over it like a hawk. (It's a dedicated server - a couple actually - but the PHP server running the Mediawiki is a sort of afterthought my Details Guy [that's me] never got round to integrating properly, and it appears to have gotten whacked a couple of times over the past hour by an over-zealous loadwatching script).
He's been buttfucked so many times now, you'd need to wrap your dick in 12 murses to get any friction.
But I'm sorry
This illusion has caused you a lot of pain
And I have no solution
I'll try to never be back again
I'm not sure he can take them down but his podcasts are still up. Odds of tonight's verbal abuse on sanity taking place?
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.
Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, goodnight.
..........but not for long
Unless Galina steps in
The SHIT Finaly hit the Fan!
With the cnet news article that came out today citing Casey saying is dead and "will never return.", if Casey ever comes back, everyone in the world will know this guy for what he really is - a true con-man.
Oh Casey, I never seen anyone fuck up as much as you have and given so many MANY opportunities to do right in my life.
You are tottaly a truly a phathetic Asshole.
That's Taps if anyone cares
Currently IAFF displays:
I'm sorry.
Mark V. -- time to help Galina "mitigate" her loss.
Those SWEET CaseyPedia links are coming in like crazy.
Oh Casey, how does it feel my little lazy con-man.
Galina, I hope you learn that enabling a con-man to carry out fraud is not a good thing. I hope that the two of you stay together for a long time.
please send all saved casey flickr photos to
caseyserininfo@Yahoo.com
justin case
It really is Karma that the Caseypedia & EN are getting all this sweet traffic and IAFF is not.
Quick Rob, monetize this place!
caseypedia is down again...this is clasic casey...come dudes
Sweet Sweet Karma.
Must be burning a hole in Casey's fradulant mind.
I am willing to bet money that Casey feels like the victim.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Hahhahahahahahahah
r-boy, it's a tribute to Casey, shhhhhh.
We're waving our fond farewell to the sound of a 21 processor meltdown salute.
Looks like Casey is still going to attempt to resurrect the web page. Go to IAFF, the "I'm Sorry" is barely visible with the correct settings on the monitor. If you select "View ... Page Source", you will see that the previous page is still there in HTML code. It is just commented out, waiting for someone small and brunette to forget about verifying him. He can't be honest or straight for a frigging second!
Mouse and Pencil
I agree with: Galina. You can do so much better. Run! Run now!
This behavior of his is getting just too wierd! Why leave the html there with all of the links, only commented out?
Rob Dawg
...frightening. He's become unhinged.
I'm not there yet. A minnow on the beach without water at most. Casey doesn't have "last act of defiance" or "from hell's heart I stab at thee" in him.
I don't know if I agree with you there. I think he is unhinged, note the continual passive aggressive behavior in spite of the potential losses. He just does not have the will, and focus to proactive act on anything. The behavior certainly does match Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Besides, he is not genetically engineered for survival, nor does he have or did he steal the Genesis machine. Kahn he is not..
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream
I'm sorry...
The purge continues: he's pulled his YouTube video.
Here are some interesting metrics.
I wonder how many of his page counts are self references (double or multiple counting). Thursday is when he took it down. I would have expected the counts to still be high as people check. It is also interesting the corresponding spike in exubernation™
Kind of like reaching for relevance but reaching infamy simultaneously with obscurity(re: web page references).
patience, I am doing a crash-course in Mediawiki tuning... bit of a resource hog in its native state... Seems to be better now. Though maybe I should go change the DNS entries a couple of times...
It’ll just be a minute
How can I explain
Whatever happened here never meant to hurt you
How can I cause you so much pain
When I say I’m sorry
This quote:
"I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to"
is awesome. Is that a reference to Henry Rollins Band "Liar?" Brilliant!
Now I lay me down to sleep.
With hopes and dreams of deals so sweet.
I hope to blog when I awake,
'Cause I'm Galina's li'l snowflake
Just to avert any conspiracy theories: it's clear from the Entry Pages report that all the traffic reported on Casey's sitemeter since the shutdown was on pages in the Google cache.
Anon@248
The song is "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" by Chicago. It was the theme from Summer Lovers in the summer of 1982.
Rollins is a genius. Just had to say that.
Anyway, IAFF *IS* Casey. It's all he has. It's his ego, incarnate. Of course he's protecting it, if it's truly gone (there's multiple backups stashed somewhere, bet on it), he has nothing.
Literally.
Nothing.
No house.
No job.
No future.
No money.
A marriage failing daily.
A family against him.
No friends.
No sweet connections or media.
No ego boost.
No powertripping moderation.
He's a homeless dude with no shiny toys.
They're gonna be finding cdr backups under every cushion of the house, printouts in the crawlspace where he can furtively hide and relive his glory days. He'll be walking through BestBuy with Galina, and his eyes will drift towards the computers...and she'll have to drag him to the register, like a 5 year old in a toy store.
Imagine Al Bundy with a slight slavic accent..."Did I ever tell you about the time I was on tv?"
Coworker: "Sigh...Serin, finish stocking the toilet paper, then get to work on aisle 3, there's a spill."
"He can't be honest or straight for a frigging second!"
It's either that or a that he didn't want to do the "work" of actually deleting it. Calculating key presses to comment out...
1, 2, 3, 4 ... Ctrl+End (5,6) ... 7, 8, 9
Calculating key presses to delete. Click @ beginning of text. Ctrl+Shift+End (1,2,3) ... Delete (4).
Okay, so if he was avoiding work, he failed at that as well. Must be the honesty thing...
I'm never gonna say I'm sorry
I'm a clown for everyone
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always here like a sun
I'm a loser
MAKE IT STOP!!! The I'm sorry songs... they're killing me.
Ok if they get divorced she who shall not be named gets half the blog!
ok maybe not. Casey DUMP THE WIFE once you are rich and famouser you can date all the housekeeperz™ you want!!!!!
I'm sorry I'm bad,
I'm sorry I'm blue,
I'm sorry about all things
I said to you
If you paid attention to Married With Children, supposedly Al knocked Peg up while celebrating his 4 touchdown game. There was always that under-current of resentment.
IAFF will be Casey's high school championship game where he scored 4 touchdowns.
Difference is that with his FICO, he won't be able to get a job selling women's shoes.
"Galina, I was once "
Well timed Declan article will make Casey look like even more of a fraud (is that possible??) if he reopens IAFF. Declan rocks.
What are the odds of a farewell fraudcast tonight?
Slight re-write.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
With hopes and dreams of deals so sweet.
I hope to blog when I awake,
'Cause this W-2 is hard to take
haha View Source shows its there but commented out.
He should put up a 'Domain For Sale!' sign or sell to SEO.
better yet, divorce wife, keep blogging.
CHOOSE THE HATERZ CASEY!
I need a hug.
He should put up a "wife for sale", that's how he treats her.
A few of the goodbye messages have been archived on Flickr.

Okay, who posted as Nigel on Cnet?
Whoever it was, you owe me a keyboard!
And you get to explain it to my coworkers.
1st time poster, long-time lurker; saw this on the 12years . . . blog:
Casey is trying to sell IAFF:
http://www.myebid.com/cgi-bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=4046
Sorry if somebody else already posted this above and I missed it somehow. Has he done this before?
Casey can't let it go...the spice must flow.
Swaby trolling for fliptard at donthatecasey - according to the pleather king, Casey was considering going ahead with the fraudcast tonight - will Casey continue his trolling via the fraudcast? He really cannot let go...
MyBid:
"iamfacingforeclosure.com is now for sale, the Feds are getting too close and I am fleeing back to Uzbekistan, it was fun why it lasted. Thanks everyone!"
Awesome! LOL!
Casey is becoming a new Internet Meme! Look out lolcats!
flickr photos are gone too
http://www.myebid.com/cgi-bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=4046
Fake. Just like the "buy my 8 houses" and "buy my hair" myebid auctions were also fake.
Nigel:
"A brief message to Casey's former advertisers: I am offering the links you had on Casey's site to be posted until the end of June for free. Even if you got a refund from him, I think it's the fair thing to do. This site obviously gets far less traffic than his, but the audience remains the same. Hopefully it will get you a little value for the money you paid Casey."
Monetize away, Nigel! You can offer them a SWEET follow-on so they can advertise to your dozens of viewers! You can offer cross-posting on Rober Cote Sux!
galina does not look like she is over 18 in these photos.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/94588127@N00/386261102/in/photostream/
LOL!! The webcast might go on tonite. He should just divorce his wife and live his life.
Heh; Nigel's in full on Broker-back Mountain mode:
I just can't quit this roller coaster of a ride called Casey Serin. Not just yet anyway. I know it's bad for me. I can't even identify what the draw is.
"I wish I knew how to quit you, Casey."
In honor of Casey's site going down, i am playing "Come Back" by Pearl Jam.
You think any of them can let this go? Casey will never disappear from the internet. He was a self-made internet drama and Nigel will not let go of Casey because that was the only way anyone noticed him.
Nigel sez: a ride called Casey Serin.
Only Nigel would refer to Casey in this manner, considering that he:
1) metaphorically rode Casey's travails to get others to notice him
2) literally rode Casey in other disturbing ways ;-)
My thanks go out to Declan for (indirectly) helping me discover a fascinatingly obscure misconfiguration on the CaseyPedia server which was leading to a veritable massacre of Apache children.
CaseyPedia is now purring along just like Yulia's Cat does when receiving attention from SheWhoMayNotBeNamed™.
Live from the Fraudcast™
"Hi, next caller!"
*knock knock*
"Uh...yeah?"
"Casey, why have you been in teh bathroom so long?"
"Uh...I'm not feeling good!" *whispers* "Next caller, hi, Mocha!"
*knock knock*
"Casey, who are you talking to?"
"Uh, nobody! Be out in a while!" *whispers* "Thanksfor teh support Mocha. Next caller...uh...Itsallbad, hi!"
"Casey, it's steven, man."
"Uh, hi, Steven. Oh, you mean my brother? Oh, hey man, thanks for calling in and supporting me!"
"Casey, come out. We're all out here waiting. Hang up the phone and come out to the living room."
"Heh...uh, huh?"
"We're all here, Casey, Mom, Dad, your wife, your sister, the pastor, and Dr. Smith - it's over man. Come on out."
"Hey, let me get back to you later Steven, Ihave all these calls..."
*rumbling and scuffing noises*
*dead air*
*sound of door being forced*
"Casey?"
"Why is the window wide open?"
"Wheres the car!?"
How much money was it again that was offerred to Casey for the rights to that site? $10,000? $20,000?
Yet fliptard opted to "go it alone" and monetize the blog while at the same time signing a contract with his wife stipulating that he MUST make X amount per week or shut it down.
Hmmmm. $20k cash up front (guaranteed) versus ad revenue (not guaranteed).
Can this kid do anything right?
And for the record, he should not be allowed to sign any contract ever again without an adult's supervision.
@lawnmower man
Necessary keyboard switch after "The Broker-back Mountain mode" comment.
@Anon: Nigel offered $10K. Duane was offering to broker a deal for a ale price of $30K+.
Last week some might recall the joke about "how much is my blog worth?" Apparently Swabtard took it seriously and now has the reference up on his award winning blog. Amazing, twice what EN is worth. LoL, some people never get the joke.
I've lowered my bid to a back rub and deep tongue kissing.
Fingers crossed!
no way in he*& that SLC site is worth anything. his real estate drivelings are worthless. one post of 500 words, 450 of which pat himself on the back. and what the fu*& is he doing offering free ads to those advertisers who were fortunate to advertise w/casey. damn nigel, if you want to do it right, offer free advertising to people/companies that could help you draw readers. oh yeah, you might want to allow some comments.
@007: I can't take credit for "Brokerback Mountain" itself -- that goes to Nigel's Guest Blogger. I did indulge in an addition to Caseypedia, though.
@rob: I think SLC has had the Technorati badge for a while. Nigel never met a widget he didn't like: hence his technicolor yawn of a blog.
yes there are many memes for CS
He's funnier than 'all your base are belong to us'.
sweet!
"All your houses are belong to the lenders"?
"SOMEONE SET US UP THE BLOG!"
I'm eagerly awaiting talkshoe tonite. Hope he comes online for some entertainment.
The purported Fraudcast™ may start in 15 minutes... just a reminder :)
CASEY IS ON TALKSHOE RIGHT NOW LMAO!!!
http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=8714&cmd=tc
I'm running the TalkShoe application and it doesn't look like he's dialed in or started the application on his PC. Only the icon indicating he is the host is lit up.
Well, he's on Talkshoe right now. Let's see if he starts the show. This is going to be a whirlwind of a shitstorm.
We shall see. I wonder if thats the real Nigel in the chatroom.
He's dialed in right now LOL. This is going to be great.
Holy shit, he just dialed in!
Quick, Rob, register donttellmywifeimstillbloggingaboutfacingforeclosure.com.
