Blog note. The forward failing late great State of Kalifornia has declared a flexalert. This is an informal request to reduce power consumption. What it means is that the idiots are running the asylum. What part of 2007 should mean turning off the air conditioner or face rolling blackouts? Thus if your host or several other notable participants go silent you can assume we are doing our part in keeping garages full or illegals out in Fontucky cool.

We're all conserving energy by not typing...
Realitme info: Here
Two words from 110 degree inland Kalifornia.
Swamp Cooler !
Spewing 72 degree air, saving big bucks on the electric bill. $300 last month, probably more this one.
someone on the last haterzcast mentioned that everywhere casey goes, a natural disaster seems to occur shortly afterwards....
Seeing how he apparantly stayed in west seattle
2 unfortunate west seattle soon-to-be new homeowners seem to be the latest victims
I'm running the air, running my computer, running my stereo/tv setup. It's all good!
BTW - all my appliances and equipment are energy star efficient ;)

Two words from Coastal Kalifornia; Ocean Effect. My blue ones are sweating. Eighty two point five degrees Fahrenheit. Third hotest day of the year. 1st Monday 88. 2nd Tuesday 87. SCE: $125 and I don't have to breathe Fontucky's used air.
We have Worm Sign, comments are being approved...
Crispy 105D here in Sacramento, with absolutely no breeze. It's absolutely hell out there (more so than usual).
Screw the ISO, I'm running the air as cool as it will go.
Rob-
Working here in northern Ca., lights off and exit lights flashing at the corporation I'm at.
Pretty crazy!
so, what is important about the date of 7-13 that has been thrown around on here?

Turdflake's pamphlet is planned to come out.
so, what is important about the date of 7-13
It's Friday the 13th... unluckiness abounds for our future defendant.
friday the 13th... and his book is coming out then.... hmmm how forboding.
91 here in the South Bay area. We've got the lights off but the computers & A/C on.
Ya'll laughed at my suggestion about disaster following Casey everywhere he goes, but this is further proof......
He goes to the PacNW and what happenz...triple digit temps. Now, he's headed back to CA, whicht is having record heat and potential brownouts.
He bought a house in Dallas...the area is now under water
He bought a house in NM....same
He bought a house in Sac....market is tanking
He bought a house in Utah and the countryside is on fire.
He visited Lake Tahoe and hundreds of homes were destroyed by the recent fires.
He visited Phoenix...temps are close to 120!
He visited Australia, which is experiencing record storms and a beached ship.
In addition, there's been a health crisis due to mosquitos and wide spread algae in swimming pools.
Unofficial 114 on the back porch here in Fresno. AC keeps it to 83, it's dry and just fine. Ever notice that when it's icy outside, you don't even feel warm 'til 83?
I've been wondering about this "worm sign" stuff, and now that I hear it's something from "Dune," which I haven't read because I only read sci-fi when there's a gun to my head, and thankfully that hardly ever happens, so what exactly does it mean?
And why do I get garbage posts?
Not 5 minutes ago the seabreeze finally kicked in. Instant 4-5 degree drop. Better Late Than Never.
@ the dude
I'm starting to aggree with you on the disaster thing
Check out my post at 4:20
91? That sounds great. It's over 100 in my corner of the Northwest.
Casey's real name is JOE BTFSPLK
@mejustme --
In "Dune" one of the main plot points is the existence of very large, very deadly monsters called "sand worms" that spent a lot of their time underground. Characters in the book learn to pay attention to 'worm signs' on the sand showing that the sandworms might be nearby, because if a human encountered a worm, s/he generally did not live to tell the tale.
@mejustme: I was never a fan of Dune, but from memory: Dune is desert, the worms burrow in the sand, and the wormsign is surface movement of sand which indicates sandworm activity below the surface.
Similarly, wormsign on IAFF is surface movement -- posts, comments, comment moderation -- that indicates that the fraudworm is active.
(And BTW I really liked the last line of this comment. Ouch.)
mejustme,
The wormsign is indeed from the Dune saga. I used a great picture a few months ago and it has since entered EN lore as indication that our fliptard has surfaced and we can use our maker hooks to ride the beast and steer him to our aims. Break out your Crysknives Haterz™. Shai-hulud is smiling on our adventures.

"Two words from Coastal Kalifornia; Ocean Effect. My blue ones are sweating. Eighty two point five degrees Fahrenheit. and I don't have to breathe Fontucky's used air."
Yes coastal Kalfornia is nice, Mr. Magoo is nice to visit, but the desert is where it's at., Dale's Palm and all that.
I wonder if Snowflake is going to start a sideline in energy trading, maybe get a job with CalISO as an energy trader. Why under "Med Fly" Grey he would have been rewarded for his skills.
We might be able to construct an hilarious parody. I still have a copy of "Bored of The Rings" somewhere so I know. I mean think of all the great characters and locations. The intrigue, the liasons. While I'm sure some would wish me to take The Baron or Fayt I'll assume Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen as my role. House Fliptard shall fall on my blade.
So... why don't ya'll build some more power plants? These power emergencies are a regular occurrence in your state.
Move back to New York, Sprezzykins™... it's 79 degrees right now, this after near perfect weather to start the week (low 70's, clear skies). :-)
Dune parody? Like National Lampoon's Doon?
Dune parody material:
The Water of Life = Wheatgrass shots of Life
@Rob: used a great picture a few months ago
A few weeks ago, actually.
I think it's the Serin Time Distortion Field at work: it just *feels* like we've been at it years.
I read all of the Dune series. awesome books. My wife got me the others that his son wrote using his father's outline. I am having a tough time getting into those. the original series I ended up reading in 3 weeks. I didn't get much sleep during those 3 weeks!
It's 70 degrees here but we are staring down the barrel of yet another line of red on the nexrad. The booming in the distance dwarfs anything I heard yesterday.
I keep my house at 77 deg. F +- and use less than 500 kwh per month. This in Oklahoma too. A new AC with a high SEER number is better than tweaking the thermostat every time. Meanwhile the commercial users use twice as much as you exurban types and pay half as much for it too. Bwahaha!! Welcome to the People's Republic of Stupifornia.
Forty murst biatches!

Ho Ho Ho - It's Santa Flipper Clause

To quote Santa, "NPD, broke and stupid is no way to go through life, fliptard."

Kalifornia's electric rate structure is insane squared. We even pay dividend compensation to the shareholders of SCE for their not having gone out of business where otherwise the state could have purchased the whole shootin' match for 70% off and cut rates near in half. Nasty stuff.
Dune Books awesome
Movie so/so too long.
mort,
where in OK are you located? electricity is cheap there. Biggest reason is the use of SPRB coal. However, get ready for your rates to jump in 3-4 years as the BNSF and UP are not negotiating transportation contracts any longer. All coal transportation is being turned into tariff based rates. I'd guess your rates are up 50% in 5 years or so. Moving coal is the largest cost of producing electricity to most coal fired plants.
FMW, agreed. movie was kinda uuhh. I want to come back with mentat abilities
aaron, although there are coal plants here in central OK, and they are building a coal plant north of here, my electricity is currently (get it, currently?) nat. gas fired. Also, in case you didn't read what I wrote, I use less than 500 KwH per month. My electric rates could double and my monthly bill still wouldn't top $100. I have been an electricity miser and I am getting damn good at it. You don't scare me one bit bucko, I know how to live off the land too. Let me see how you city slickers fare when the SHTF. HAHAHA!! I'll take my chances over west coastal postal pop toasters any day.
Here is Casey's future. Living under a underpass and harassing morons who bought 700K condos in the ghetto. Maybe he can pass out advice to the ones who are getting foreclosed on.
http://tinyurl.com/3xp2nl
mort,
gas fired plants are usually only used for peak demand. more than likely you get most power from coal generation unless you are on a coop (like WFEC).
oh an mort....no need to get confrontational. both sides of my family are from OK. I may live in a suburb outside of DC...however I am far from a city slicker.
Not quite sure what the connection is between illegal immigration and an energy flex alert, but whatever.
I live in North San Diego County and pretty much do everything to conserve energy. My last SDGE bill was $52 and change. My next energy saving purchase will probably be a tankless water heater.
iGGY
Not quite sure what the connection is between illegal immigration and an energy flex alert, but whatever.
It isn't specifically illegal immigration but the overcrowding in old places that lack capacity and the expolsive growth of the Inland Empire, Antelope and Central Valleys with their monster peak demand loads.
For those who want to see how well Casey looks in cuffs and orange jumpsuit, marvel at my leet MS-Paint work on the Caseypedia Mortgage Fraud page. ;-)
aaron, this blog is full of trolls and flamebaits and is generally confrontational, but I will go easy on you if you want to be civil. The gas power plant is less than twenty miles as the crow flies from where I live and the high tension lines run straight from there to here. I am pretty sure I know where my power comes from. They buy from other sources during peak demand, not visa versa. Also we have wind and hydro here as well. The new coal plant is of a very efficient design and will likely usurp less efficient plants as time goes by. I am as pro renewable energy as you will find. Also, I assumed you were in CA, that is my bad.
Benoit, nice job on the pic, but a bullet resistant vest? Damn, the haterz® must really have it in for twinkle twinkle.
mort,
thanks for going easy ;)
are you an original okie?
I could be mistaken, but wasn't the original picture of Timothy McVeigh, Benoit?
are you an original okie?
Naw, migrated here from up north back in '76. I have adopted it as home though.
@ Walt526 -- no, I was just browsing Yahoo News and there was this article about a gunman in New Hampshire. Figured the picture was perfect for you-know-who...
Benoit's pic update
Benoit, here's your pic with some of the rough edges smoothed out. Sorry, but my mad photoshop skillz aren't as good as some of the pros here.
Man, am I ever glad I got the fuck out of Central CA. It's 65 here in Mill Creek and I don't even have AC. Screw those $400/month power bills.
@ The Dude, thanks... overwrote the old pic with yours :-)
aaron and mort
I worked for oglethorpe power corp for 2 years. Gas power plants are considered peaking resources and are generally used to cover peak loads.
Basically, the fire order of plants is nuclear, water, coal, gas, and finally diesel peakers.
there are some combined cycle (natural gas)plants that operate low enough on their $/MwH level that they operate fairly normally.
Hey Kidz,
Don't forget to vote! 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Scooter Libby was an extra special bonus feature so polls will close earlier than usual - given the standard Friday Woohoo! game. Sweet cache back at close!
where the hell is lostmisses at with our update?
Since this post mentions alerts I would like to share something:
If your normally placid pets go a little nuts before a storm, do listen to them.
I'm in the carriage house on my property looking downhill at water creeping up steadily.
I'm glad I listened to their incessant warnings.
Vote for EDGAR, AKA MORT! Vote early, vote often.

They reverted to their lazy selves and sure enough the water is receding. Bizarre but true.
Over on Caseypedia, Sharkey Laguna came in, and requested a special page for him to leave an intact, unedited email response to his portrayal on Caseypedia, along with a new pic that he would prefer to have used (one with a kewler ski-dude persona, and also one of the hard-rockin' axe-man on stage. How nice of him.)
Of course, he was obliged.
But then, he also complains of his characterization as a [shock!] 'captalist', as well as kveching about the pic a Google search turned up of him on the slopes in a knit cap.
What a shallow poseur, to be concerned about such vain trivia, when he still characterizes as mere 'mistakes' the spree of Casey's confessed multiple (EIGHT, with NINE ATTEMPTED) consecutive, intentional serial mortgage frauds in rapid succession, done quickly and in various geographies in order to warily attempt to avoid being detected prior to the pay out, with a total loan-out of $2,200,000.00 in a just few short weeks to an unemployed ex-website guy, who claimed he would live in each house.
And what is on Sharkey's mind?
Why, he requested the current ski photo be replaced with one of the keweler offerings, and he provides a link to even more action shots of our hero on the slopes.
Can you say "self-important jerk?"
Off topic, but I want to be heard...Yes this is me. I am making a request. Whoever controls caseypedia would you please please remove my parents from that site. They have nothing to do with this mess and do not deserve their privacy invaded. Please, I am asking you, Please remove their names.
-Galina
Galina--
NoDebtWhatSoEver controls Caseypedia, and his e-mail addy is: mursemaster (at) gmail (dot) com. Wish I could help, but I'm not part of the Caseypedia site. Good luck, hon!
Please remove their names
Whether this is really Galina or not, I would second that. There is really nothing linking them to Snowflake but the misfortune of having a psycho son-in-law.....
Oh and seventy-surxt!

Litany against Haterz:

Haterz are the deal-killers.
Haterz are the little-deaths that bring total obliteration.

I will permit them to pass over me and through me.
And when it they are gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the haterz have gone there will be nothing.
Only IAFF will remain.

On topic:
There not only a waste of electricity on the consumer side through excessive use and the low efficiency of cheap manufactured equipment, but also the American distribution system itself which favors a more wasteful 110V to the worldwide prevalent, more transport efficient, 220/230V standard. Article
Adding to that the rotting electric transport infrastructure in some areas and the power availability decreases considerably.
sheez,
it really dried up here
G -
Lawnmower Man has removed the requested entries on the Caseypedia.
Don't know if anybody emailed you, but check for yourself.
Beat me to it, Dolph. They're gone.
I was just coming here to make that comment myself.
I've no way of knowing whether the comment above is genuine, but IMHO naming Galina's parents serves no useful purpose. Deleted, and added a note explaining the deletion and suggesting guidelines to the article's Talk page.
I just noticed my mom's birth date being added..."current version as of July 5, 2007" that is why I wanted it removed.
http://www.caseypedia.com/w/index.php?title=Galina_Serin&curid=13&diff=6881&oldid=6846
seriously - remove her parents names. They don't need to be dragged into this. Haven't these people dealt with enough?
p.s. Galina - if that's really you - you have a ton of supporters here. We're all pulling for you, no matter how things turn out.
Hey, Galina--
Just wanted to say that Jade's right, and you've got a lot of supporters here pulling for you. I also wanted to add that since you've got yourself a Blogger account now, you might want to use it (or some other blog service,) to document what you're going through during this time. Diary entries have been known to be admissible in court settings, so it could be invaluable. Good luck hon, and I think I speak for a vast majority of us here when we wish you well, and hope you come through this happier and better for it. You seem to be a tough cookie, so it looks good from here! Chin up honey, and good luck!
Galina - thirding what Jade said. Your wheels are not my wheels, but all must move by Jah love, every one. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. It's going to get harder before it gets easier for you, but you're strong. You have my support, and also my respect.
Yeah, now that the sweet deals went sour and the credit card money ran out we all feel really bad for G. [/sarcasm]
Discussed this over at Caseypedia. The information is now gone and unavailable and will remain so.
-btc
You use angle brackets in HTML, Edmort.
The pointy things? Thanks funk wanker, I dudn't know that. Those (dirty rotten SOBs) blew through more (borrowed, stolen really) money in two years than I'll make in my whole life. Because of people like them the whole friggin' system is rigged to punish honest hard working people. I hope she is scrubbing toilets until she's ninety years old. I hope she wears holes in the knees of every pair of pants she owns, because she didn't earn any of it. [/reality bites]
THERE YOU GO AGAIN WITH THE SQUARE BRACKETS
Appalling.
Galina,
Just wanted to chime in with another note of support. You're doing the right thing, and I'm proud of the way you're stepping up to the plate. Best of luck to you! I'll be rooting for you :-)
The Caseypedia link above (the one showing the diffs to previous versions of the article) now no longer works; it just shows the current article version.
FWIW I posted on IAFF a few days ago asking Casey to get in touch with me by email if he had any issues about CaseyPedia content - I'm happy to address any concerns in a reasonable, non-emotional manner, especially as far as f****y are concerned. As far as I can tell, the post wasn't approved, and the only reaction I've ever had from him by email was by dangling the vague promise of a shiny thing in front of him under an assumed name.
P.S. Galina--
Just wanted to clarify that in my last post, I wasn't implying that you need to/should necessarily make your blog public for our amusement and/or Casey's ridicule should you choose to document what you're going through; just an online diary (set for private entries only, for example) would probably help both legally and emotionally. Once again, good luck--and while it's easier said than done, please ignore the trolls.
Cheers!
snowflake has a new post up
one hundred and murst bitches
Galina,
Based on caseys new blog post...STAY STRONG>...DO NOT LET HIM BACK INTO YOUR LIFE>
He has f-ed it up for the last time...Stay strong, and remember the pain and anguish he has caused you the last year and how he left you to go galavant around the world.
If you want you can email me at c_h_j_t_s@yahoo.com
PSS...I have access to change crap on caseypedia....if you have any more requests like earlier (if that was you--hopefully duane will confirm) you can email me and I will get on it lickety split.
Not welcome home...ROTFLMAO!!!!! Good one Casey. Did you really think they were gonna take you in with arms wide open?
Tony, his newest post SPEAKS volumes about duanes credibility.
He sat there and said that things were okay at home and that duane was telling lies.
I think I heard duane say that the locks were changed.
It would seem to me that snowflake is trying to pretend he doesnt read this blog or listen to the haterzcast's when he has admitted he does.
I guess he thought duane was lying when he said the locks were changed and casey didnt have a key.
I hope galina takes his murse away and beats him over the head with it if he shows up at her and Yulia's house.
A couple of things here.. CaseyInsider isnt... yes they had a #, but everything else they said was wrong.
Mark is in silent mode now and will most likely continue until the case closes.
That was Galinas request. Thank you all for honoring it.
opps puppy is peeing in the floor.. be back in a sec
"Tony, his newest post SPEAKS volumes about duanes credibility.
He sat there and said that things were okay at home and that duane was telling lies."
I think the post speaks more about snowflakes's tenuous grasp on reality, given the circumstances is there any sort of reasonable expectation that he would be welcomed back?
"Over on Caseypedia, Sharkey Laguna came in, and requested a special page"
I didn't request a special page. In fact I specifically asked to be on the same page where someone who doesn't know me from Adam was repeatedly referring to me as a "prick", in capital letters no less. Judging by the similar tone, it sounds like it could have been you... The editorial decision to put my response on a completely separate page with no link to the page I was responding to was not my choice, decision, or desire.
"But then, he also complains of his characterization as a [shock!] 'captalist',"
I didn't complain, I just pointed out that to the best of my knowledge I didn't meet any of the three definitions listed for "capitalist" at dictionary.com. If you had called me a couch I don't think it's complaining to point out that I don't meet any of the normally accepted definitions of a couch.
I even allowed that you might have meant some other definition of the word "capitalist", but then what puzzled me was I don't see how I'm different from anybody else who has to make money to pay the bills. It's kind of like calling me a rotten no good air breather.
"as well as kveching about the pic a Google search turned up of him on the slopes in a knit cap."
I think it's pretty clear that I was joking around, but I suppose in your humorless way you would prefer I threaten to sue everybody for copyright infringement for posting my friends flickr photos without asking his permission.
All I'm saying is if you are going to use one of the only pictures taken of me on the first and only day I ever skied in my entire life, and then publicly mock me as though I'm some wealthy skiing capitalist guy, then at least use a picture where I'm not hiding under my wife's hat, so that way when you get ready to form your mob action brigade to take me out and/or string me up by my toes, you'll at least know you got the right guy.
Lord knows I wouldn't want someone else with a double chin and a goofy face to have to pay for my sins.
While I'm here I might as well point out that given the laws of unintended consequences, I'm wondering at just what point will some of you feel like you got your revenge, your pound of flesh, or whatever result it is that you are seeking, and how will you know you got it? For instance let's say for exmple you drive one of Casey's family members (such as Galina, who it seems like some of you are practically hitting on) into such despair that they commit suicide. Will you look back and be proud of all the time you spent on this (and other blogs) coming up with new ways to hound Casey and his family?
I think at this point the proper authorities have been notified probably at least a hundred times over. I know this will be ignored, but perhaps the wheels of justice could be allowed to turn without a lynch mob constantly trying to put their thumb on the scales? What are you guys going to do if prosecutors just aren't interested and your lawsuits result in nothing? Burn Casey's apartment down?
To tht end, I'm not sure how some of you are able to justify posting the personal information and photos of people who are at most marginally involved, and certainly have not engaged in any criminal activity (such as Galina's parents for example). Really, you should be ashamed, but I already know there is little chance of that. The self righteous fire is burning too hot to allow for any true self examination. Ironic, isn't it?
Oh and I know plenty of criminals who later realized their criminal actions were a "mistake". Just because it's criminal doesn't mean it's not a mistake and vice versa. Get over yourself.
"Can you say "self-important jerk?""
Pot, Kettle. Kettle, Pot.
These EN bastards! I'll help you, Casey. You need a house key? I've got a house key to my ex-wife's house in Phoenix!
Stay as long as you like, eat as much as you want and watch out for hot lead. And don't mention my name, okay?
P.S. I'm still waiting for the free sweetlink to boost your traffic to my site so it's at least *appearing* to compete with EN. Plus, got some interesting "Casey" meme graphs for tomorrow's entry!
"Burn Casey's apartment down?"
Harumph. Leave it to a capitalist to focus on property first and people last!
I suspect that the "pound of flesh" will be Casey's website.
Out of site, out of mind.
But I agree with your bombastic and pompous complaint about self-righteous, out-of-control hoards.
SmartMobs
aack!!
I think those of us watching the Casey Serin train wreck for amusement have a natural curiosity about the family members. However, that doesn't give us a right to pry or post personal information - even if it IS in the public domain.
I've been following this saga since the beginning, and most of the folks (regulars, not trolls) here on EN (as far as I can tell) are pretty decent people. Most of us believe Galina was not involved in plotting Casey's "crimes" - only involved at the margin in trying to manage the mess.
Personally, I'll give her a pass and wish her the best - and hope she ends up with zero Casey-baggage after the dust settles.
S_t_C
"Harumph. Leave it to a capitalist to focus on property first and people last!"
Read again. I focused on people first. The paragraph before, to be specific.
"I suspect that the "pound of flesh" will be Casey's website. "
Maybe you have a different perspective, but from what I can tell the actions of many people have already gone well beyond simply trying to shut down his website, and have affected people who had nothing to do Casey's actions.
"SmartMobs"
Ah right, because mobs can always be counted on to do the right thing and have such an excellent track record when it comes to dispensing justice.
BTW Did you notice that one of the exmaples in your link was the Madrid bombings?
Ah well, forget it... I should have expected as much. I give up.
Yo, Sharkey Dude, it was a joke.
You made your point, I'm just funning with you because I can't ever get a rise out of Casey.
Not welcome home. Shocking. And yet the whole ride home he figured they'd usher him in so he could regale them with tales from Down Under.
This guy is mental.
Should be an interesting fraudcast to say the least!
Yeah, "not welcome home" indeed.
I'm surprised he didn't find all of his personal possessions stacked out on the curb ... under a bonfire.
aackk!!

++++++++++++++++
You all make interesting points about who is responsible for the negative consequences and the so called
Butterfly effect
verses mercy and compassion for Casey, and all, in this regard.
I have understood from Rob that EN always observes
"The Prime Directive"
We are observers that opine rather than participants in the drama. As for me this would be the case.
Yet, the cast of players has grown, and we have actual posters here that are involved directly with Casey, who are the "EN Sources" I reckon. They found us through their involvement with Casey, and again, EN'ers are observerz (TM), IMO.
I would be very un-happy if someone was hurt or died and EN was at fault, but I hardly think we are THAT important in the day to day Soap Box that is KC's life.
We are more like
Gladys Kravitz, the nosy neighbor in the "Bewitched" TV show.
My point is that anyone "at war" with Casey, Casey drew in and not EN. The Butterfly Effect is around Cast's actions, not ours.
I do not think I am rationalizing, just my 2 cents from a front row seat, which Casey provided for me.

OK gang... sorry about that.. we have a new little weenie dog that thinks every piece of carpet is her own personal potty...
Rob had alluded a week or so ago about new players coming into the mix. He was right. A 2 hour conference call took place last night. There were 2 people on the CC that most people here are not familiar with. I wont bring their names in the open yet. What I will say is they have immense credibility in... MORTGAGE FRAUD...
Mark's suit is just the beginning of an avalanche of action that is coming down the pike.
We have all said that Casey has never had to face consequences.. he will... all the times that people advised him to do the right thing - only for Casey to ignore them- will now come home to roost.
If you have ever seen the arcarde game "whack a mole"... that is what is getting ready to happen to Casey.. from all sides of legal.. there is almost no state or federal department that wouldnt have jurisdiction in some way.
And lemme clarify something.. when I say getting ready.. it still (UGH) takes time... but for once (and this is outside of a citizen -Mark) we have LE looking at the case...
I have also heard more in depth stories about our beloved Casey. You really have to wonder about the boys motives for keeping his family quiet... for if they were to go public... it would sicken you WORSE than ever...
all for now...
No- they probably did the decent thing. Leave a note telling him when he can come get his stuff. A time when G won't be there, but his brother Steve will: Making sure Casey doesn't get all sticky fingers is Yulia's place.
So I guess it's back to Mom and Dad's where they can keep an eye on him, or it's couch surfing. Maybe his local rich dad would let him crash in the office for a few nights.
Snicker.
Duane,
Very intriguing. And judging from past performance (Not welcome home?!?!) you are one seriously on-the-level dude.
So, why are you trying to screw Casey out of making an honest living, helping people facing foreclosure learn from his mistakes?
Oh hell I could barely type that last line I was laughing so hard.
This kinda reminds me of that scene in "Trainspotting" where the parents lock their kid in his bedroom - and bar the door and windows - until he fully withdraws from heroin.
I think Casey's parents need to do something similar...
S_t_C
TK,
While I know you are joking, I would give anything for the punk to turn it around.. for his own sake. I have always been for him making an honest buck. He continues to think the only way to do that is to add as much Gray to the mix as possible. There ARE certain things in life that are black and white, such as laws. BTW, I am not the cause for the up coming actions. Im just reporting what I know...
and btw.. how is it that hes not welcome home when his family was in the car with him for Caseys RAH RAH session...
The question I have is how MANY homes is he not welcome in...
Duane,
Congrats on the new puppy, pee-pee and all. :)
I'm fine with only having kitties that toss their cat chow on the white carpet twice a week.
I've been skimming-- where is the "not welcome at home" piece?
Can someone reproduce it here?
-g
Duane, almost everyone here wanted Casey to pull it out, only to watch him choose the idiotic get-rich-quick guru route while ignoring every single shred of advice imparted to him the whole time.
So we know this whole notion that you and Mark are ganging up on him while he's down is just as Rob calls it "The Casey Serin Reality-Distortion Field™". Just Casey spin, because the truth is double coyote ugly.
Duane,
I was wondering the same thing. We know he isn't welcome in Yulia's house, but I wonder if he's unwelcome at his parents' as well? I hope Yulia and Galina took all his shit to Goodwill...
Casey should beg Steve for a job selling sweet carz. Casey could be used as the carrot to draw in traffic.
Other than that, I don't know what he can do to make money at this point. Does Jamba Juice do background checks?
Here it is--

Not Welcome Home
Just got back to Sacramento and I’m not welcome home. That kinda sucks… That’s all I can say.
It’s very late and I gotta catchup on a lot of stuff tomorrow morning (Friday), so no time for a lengthy post. The talkcast is still on. Join me at 5pm Pacific.
************
Not Welcome Home
Just got back to Sacramento and I’m not welcome home. That kinda sucks… That’s all I can say.
Then he basically says that he has to catch up on a bunch of stuff in the morning so no time for a lengthy post - but that there will be a Fraudcast this evening.
I love the "that kinda sucks".
I mean, coming home to cat puke, well, that kinda sucks.
Coming home, wife's locked you out?
That more than "kinda sucks" doesn't it.
Oh my dear, delusional Snowflake.
Duane,
I agree....would love to see him just do the right thing. True Haterz(tm) "hate" what he's done....not him personally.
People tend to cheer when an arrogant person falls....but cheer even louder when they turn things around. We can all identify with human weaknesses and want to believe in redemption.
It's up to Casey; always has been and always will be.
What a wonderful bunch you are. All good deeds and puppy dogs. Let me remind you -- what God has joined, let no man put unsunder. You people are sick.
Good morning all, it's bright and shiny 74 degrees in beautiful downtown Montgomery, AL. It feels good to know my family still welcomes me in to their home every night. Of course I guess since I haven't financially raped all of them, they don't have a lot of reasons to hate my smelly-self.
Galina says
"I'm not here for your entertainment........It's just you and your hand tonight"
Duane, why would he tell everyone that? What is his motivation? Is it because he has no one to talk to to tell except his baby? Or is it something to troll in order to get people on the talkshoe? I'm just curious if his words give comfort to his enemies, why he would let them know such a thing.
Also, looks like Casey is close to realizing his dream of living in a van...of course all he needs is a van.
@Duane: I was pleased to see you say that you'd like to see KC turn things around. Sometimes there's too much hate here for this haterz taste. I understand why people take this personally, but the truth of the matter is that few, if any, of the haterz have been directly hurt by KC's actions unless they've chosen to get involved.
This is why I'm against LMP's lawsuit. Sure, he has the right to file whatever he wants, but that doesn't make it the right thing to do.
I want KC to learn the error of his ways. If criminal charges or divorce are the means to that end OK. If he comes to his senses and starts acting responsibly (unlikely I know) then even better. I don't see how any of us have the right to stick are noses into the situation though. Publishing phone numbers, releasing information without permission and so on are all below the belt IMHO. I'm not saying Duane's done those things, he hasn't, but many have.
Let me remind you -- what God has joined, let no man put unsunder. You people are sick.
Lost, do you even know what that means.....or just spouting off?
A nice breezy 77 degrees down here in the panhandle - should get up to high eighties here on the coast. Oops, sorry you west coasters. My guy in Baghdad sent me a picture of a thermometer - 134 degrees in the shade, so I guess I better shut up. I still don't get how our men and women over in the Middle East do it during the summer - full body armour and 150 degrees on the streets. All my respect and then some.
"At 5:34 AM, A complete moron said...
What a wonderful bunch you are. All good deeds and puppy dogs. Let me remind you -- what God has joined, let no man put unsunder. You people are sick."
Hey dumbass, we are not "the man" who put anything asunder(learn to spell please)
Casey did that all by himself.
Hey Kirk,
"If being sick to you is wrong, I don't wanna be right."
Whoa doggies - sorry Kirk - don't get out your pitchfork!!! Meant to be sung to Lost Cause, not you!
Cross-posted at IAFF...
Wow. I think you better turn comments off for this one 'cause I have a feeling it's going to get ugly.
I don't know how you could have possibly distorted the facts in a way where you thought it would be OK to leave your wife for a month to go on vacation in Australia, even if your claims of sending money home are true (which we have verified as being false). Also, I don't understand how you thought it would be OK to saddle your mom with mountains of corporated debt that you are completely unable to pay off, if you even wanted to. But then again, I have common sense which is like kryptonite to the Casey Reality Distortion Field.
I wouldn't let it get you too down though. You'll need your strength for the coming lawsuits (notice...plural...Mark's lawsuit is just the teaser).
Kirk,
I have always been FOR Casey turning it around. But, he needs to turn it around in an honest and ethical manner. Those 2 traits have never entered Caseys body. He needs an intervention. He needs to see the inside of a jail. He needs to _____ fill in the blank.
To sit back and do nothing is wrong. I know people will not agree with that statement. But I believe it. The punk needs a good kick in the pants from everyone around him. He is NOT engaging in victimless crimes. He is a thief. He is a liar. He is a beggar. He needs to be stopped. I dont think he has the power to stop himself.
my 2 cents.
"...what God has joined, let no man put unsunder. You people are sick."
Yep ... better not piss off the Sky Fairy!! Which means all women in an abusive marriage just gotta grin and bear it!
Oh please enlighten us with more of your wisdom ... pussbrain.
thpptt!!!!
S_t_C
Fast forward to today's talkcast and, by the time the mike goes live.....He'll say itsallgood. All it takes is a little time to convince himself of what he wants to believe and he's back on track for sweet dealz and a promise of Massive Focused Action.
KC's gift of rationalization is on a level only a few aspire to
I think anyone, with the exception of Casey, can see the apophenia in all of posts. There is a clear and defined pattern-of-behavior that is both self-destructive as it is dangerous for those who are around him and support him. He is a poison to his friends and family. He is a liability to any well-meaning business plan or joint-venture agreement.
I would love to know why he would let the "haterZ" in on such a private detail as not being "welcome home". Was it to defuse Duane from breaking the news to us? Or was it to build hype and trolldom?
I was going to create a troll account, but... meh... what's the point?
I can't even defend Casey while "in character" anymore.
Casey needs some tough love.
@Duane
AMEN,AMEN,AMEN,AMEN etc...
Duane, you must call into the Fraudcast™ tonight. Bwahahaha! :)
And Sputnik -- parents lock their kid in his bedroom - and bar the door and windows - until he fully withdraws.
If Casey's parents attempted that with him, Casey would only emerge in his seventies or eighties! If that!
@Casey's Sex Life: You had me confused there. No worries. LOL.
@Duane: Well said, I agree 100% that KC needs to turn things around in the "right" way and an intervention may well be the only way to do that.
The thing that bugs me is when someone who has nothing to do with the folks involved takes it upon themselves to play big brother. It's one thing when KC's family calls you or Rob for help. Posting KC's phone number or filing a lawsuit in the guise of being a "good citizen" is taking things too far I believe.
The lawsuit will play out and I may be proven wrong. If it turns out that the lawsuit has positive effects and is welcomed by those involved (KC's family in particular) then I'll bow my head and apologize. I don't think that's going to happen however.
The Dude, I wouldn't be suprised if Casey calls Duane or Mark up later today asking for help. I might be nieve here, but I think he's getting ready to cross that line in to reality for a few minutes. At that junction, her can either come off the kool-ade and ask for help or he can devert.
Again, I might be smoking some bad mojo but we do have to remember that he is human and is capable of realizing how bad things are. Of course, it could still be allgood.
I'm not even sure there are detox facilities for people that brainwashed, however.
Kirk, I concur.
Hey Duane,
I don't necessarily disagree what what you say. But what bugs me is the fact that both you and Mark approached Casey - he didn't come looking for you. And I don't believe for a minute you did that (a) out of the goodness of your heart; (b) because you were bored, and didn't have anything to do that day; or (c) as part of your global charity efforts.
However you or I may feel about Casey's mortgage "business", he DID accomplish something rather noteworthy - substantial global publicity. I think that you, Nigel, and Mark all wanted to take advantage of that somehow. Am I wrong? I think all of you showed very poor business judgement in getting involved with someone like Casey - young, uneducated, inexperienced, no track record, shady, etc. etc. I could go on.
The point I'm trying to make here is that anyone who approaches Casey and gets involved with him in any kind of business venture - and subsequently gets thown under the Casey-Bus - has to share a significant proportion of the blame.
Not saying that you aren't a wronged party ... just that it's not all Casey's fault.
Having said that, I think Casey is TOAST. He pissed off the wrong people - namely you, Duane, and Mark - people who are gonna go out of their way to see that Casey is hosed.
This gets more entertaining every day!
thpptt!!!
S_t_C
I am guessing that the family that drove to Portland to get him and bring him home was either Mom or Mom and Dad. He is also sleeping on their couch. The home he was not welcomed into was his wife's.
The really sad part is their is no cure for sociopath or NPD and mom is resigned to it. She will continue to allow her baby to come home to her home because that is what mom's do.
I am just guessing by the way and I do not even have a solution to offer for this if it is true.
I wouldn't be suprised if Casey calls Duane or Mark up later today asking for help.
Nah... in CaseyLand™, those two are "back stabbers" because they got tired of Casey's shenanigans after offering to help him FOR FREE!! Casey needs the trolling to continue, otherwise the blog withers away.
I am genuinely hoping that Duane, Nigel, or Mark call in tonight. Mark probably won't for obvious reasons, but who knows...
"Let me remind you -- what God has joined, let no man put unsunder. You people are sick.""
I don't want to disparage anyone's religious beliefs, and I am certainly against divorces. but even the most religious of people will tend to agree that there are 3 good reasons for a divorce:
1) Abuse
2) Adultery
3) Addiction
Casey has very obviously demonstrated that he has a potent addiction. His wife asked, begged, negotiated and demanded that he refrain from certain activities (such as using corporate credit, or even blogging). Casey was so addicted to his lifestyle that he was unable to bear even the slightest withdrawal. She even identified his problem as addiction but Casey couldn't walk away.
Honestly, if Casey can turn everything around, get counselling and go cold-turkey on this debt/get-rich-quick thing, then I could possibly see a future for him and Galina. But his struggle to not chase after the latest "shiny thing" would be a life long one.
That being said, I also believe that (based solely on the info available to the public) Galina has already gone through enough additction-related strife to justify a clean break from Casey.
I'll be honest. If Casey could make amends to his family, get professional help, swear off debt (leaving all borrowing to his wife) and get his life back together, THAT'S a book I'd buy.
The Casey Serin Story: How Empty Promises and Dreams of Wealth Almost Tore my Family Apart. And How I Recovered From It.
(of course, at the time it's published, I'd hope that he had a good job, was pulling down a living wage, and saving diligently)
I'm now convinced he's a sociopath. "Kinda sucks" kinda says it all. He's simply not hardwired like the rest of us.
As far as Mark going into silent mode, that is a good thing. Many of us have the impression that he does not have a lawsuit and is just abusing the court system. We do not have all of the facts so we are waiting for it to play out. I do hope he has a reasonable basis for it and it goes well.
@Southern
He posted that because he is compelled to, his sickness requires it.
"I'm not welcome home, that kinda sucks...but Fraudcast tomorrow!"
Is that the reaction of a healthy, mature person? His wife has filed for seperation, that is a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE event for most people, that's time to stop the nonsense and start getting real.
Not our Casey. I'll bet his shriveled little black heart is plotting out how much mileage he can get out of this.
Is he beyond redemption? Good question. He's going to have to do some extremely hard work to turn his life around, but it can be done, I've seen people come back from the depths of drug and alcohol addiction. It's not easy, some would say it's damned near impossible.
Could he do it? As it stands right now, I don't think so.
I see Casey whining and sniveling about his upcoming legal problems until the day he's taken into custody, and his first question to the intake officer at the prison he's assigned to is when he can get internet access, so he can blog about it. That's not a joke, i'm serious. He's so far gone, he will see prison as just another way to drive ad revenue. And while in prison, he will learn how to become a better criminal, and be exposed to people who can do some serious harm if he allies with them.
And yes, I do believe he's going to blog himself into a prison cell, it's inevitable.
The koi are not amused
@ the landlord:
Well said.
"The home he was not welcomed into was his wife's."
I believe you mean that the home he was not welcomed into was his sister-in law's.
@mouse and pencil:
"I'm not welcome home, that kinda sucks...but Fraudcast tomorrow!"

Although I admit that I've derived a lot of amusement from Casey's story, I think any sane person would have shut down that blog. I can't even take online criticism while I post under a screen name.
I think things started to really spiral downward out of control when Casey reneged on his contract with his wife. I don't even remember what prompted the shutdown of his blog (did he fail to make $1000 that week?), but anyway, he broke a huge promise right there.
And yes, I do believe he's going to blog himself into a prison cell, it's inevitable.
That's a very good way to put it.
Seeing how he has no place called home, one might be able to track Casey down, as he will probably be doing the Fraudcast from the public library.
As for not hurting anyone.
1. The housing crash caused by idiots running up prices for cashback. Lots of people are paying hundreds more than they should on monthly payments because they had to pay up to get their house to LIVE IN. That is money that could have gone to retiring, or putting kids through college.
2. All new loans are going to have a higher rate to cover these foreclosures. We all will pay this. Tighter credit will cause products to cost more to cover their financing costs.
3. Pension funds are getting hammered on the foreclosures that are just starting. Read about the Ohio State pension funds that are trouble. Old retirees are getting hurt.
4. How many neighborhoods did Snowflake try to blight by not maintaining the properities? Sure did not help keep the market price of the neighbors.
Call me mean if you want. Anyone who burns 8 banks, his mom and his wife has an ass kicking coming on general principal.
I am amazed that the Serins didn't chain his ass to a lollycolumn in the basement until the court dates start.
And put his pda just out of arm's reach..
So you're saying that I'm responsible for every societal ill on the planet?? Back stabbers!!

You are correct.
"And I don't believe for a minute you did that (a) out of the goodness of your heart; (b) because you were bored, and didn't have anything to do that day; or (c) as part of your global charity efforts."
Do me a favor... ask CASEY this ONE question... Did Duane EVER have a profit motive, Did Duane EVER discuss a proftie motive.. Did Duane ever seek publicity on behalf of or through Casey?
I did seek out Casey. I sought to help him. The only exposure we had discussed was that letting our new co, reitv, do a story on HOW not to do things from an investing standpoint. i offered to PAY him a salary. I sponsored HIS site. I got ridiculed, I didnt care. I thought I was doing the right thing then, and I still do. If I was seking the limelight or trying to profit from Casey, why did I continue to speak with him? To try and guide him? All this was BEHIND the scenes. I was hoping.. HOPING.. he would take advice. What i found to be true was that he would dial people until someone agreed with him.
"However you or I may feel about Casey's mortgage "business", he DID accomplish something rather noteworthy - substantial global publicity. I think that you, Nigel, and Mark all wanted to take advantage of that somehow. Am I wrong?
Yes, Very, my actions and deeds have said different.
"I think all of you showed very poor business judgement in getting involved with someone like Casey - young, uneducated, inexperienced, no track record, shady, etc. etc. I could go on."
Sir, I wasn not trying to go into business with Casey, i was trying to throw a life preserver to someone who was drowning. At the time we were talking, he was saying all the right things... I dumped HIM when HIS actions didnt follow his words.
"The point I'm trying to make here is that anyone who approaches Casey and gets involved with him in any kind of business venture - and subsequently gets thown under the Casey-Bus - has to share a significant proportion of the blame."
Blame for what?
"Not saying that you aren't a wronged party ... just that it's not all Casey's fault."
Have you EVER heard me say I was a wronged party? EVER?
Casey's a homeless guy with a laptop. LOL
M&P,
You re so right - a normal person would shut down the blog and try to breathe a little life back into their marriage. Not our boy tho, it is COMPELLED to blog about his morning - because that is all it is to him. It is not his future or his life - it is just what happened to him this morning or last night. Another "crazy" thing to blog about. He is desperate for the attention - good or bad. Most "normal" people would curl up into a ball when hit with a legal separation filing. Especially if divorce had not been seriously discussed before.
But not our boy. We all know the selfish little prick had been wanting to "do his own thing" for months. He bled Galina dry and is now bored with the situation. Her debt is no longer his problem - hey, they were HER credit cards, right? - so now it "kinda sucks" that his own wife has changed the locks on the house because he will have to come up with somewhere else to stay. How inconvenient!
I am happy for Galina that she has discovered that this person will never be a man and she can cut her losses now. She was manipulated by this fraudulent flop from the start. He lied to her to get her to date him and lied even more to get her to marry him, then stole everything she had - my old dad would be after him with a shotgun by now.
Call me mean if you want. Anyone who burns 8 banks, his mom and his wife has an ass kicking coming on general principal.
Casey and his ilk are responsible for pricing out honest people out of the housing market. The regular guy who works hard bought the $450,000 home that is 1 hour drive from his job suffers.
Has Casey ever posted something conciliatory or remorseful regarding his actions? He says "I've taken responsibility for my actions" on his talkcasts, but it sounds like an empty catchphrasel.
Southernbread
Denial is extremely powerful. Casey uses it as a tool to block out unpleasant realities. He may have posted that he was not welcome, but he certainly minimized it by saying it "kinda sucked". So I think maybe his motivation was twofold:
1. break the news before Duane and/or Rob can.
2. Troll for the fraudcast. Not that he won't attract a lot of interest already.
Bottom line is, he says he needs to "get more naked" but he's lying. He won't give up any information tonight.
About my wife filing for separation, and Duane saying law enforcement officials have taken an interest in my case...
I think they're both bluffing... I'll check into it. ;-)
"1. The housing crash caused by idiots running up prices for cashback."
H: Sorry, but that's not even close to the real cause. What's happening in the US housing market currently is the result of an erosion of lending standards in an ill-advised stampede to capture business ... exacerbated by mis-selling of option-ARM products to borrowers who were clearly not appropriate for that kind of loan. Add to the mix low-doc and no-doc products that allow for non-verification of key lending criteria, and you've got a pretty toxic mix.
[And yes, I AM in the mortgage business...]
thpptt!!
S_t_C
Someone pass this onto Casey:
How to Deal With Being in Prison
You were accused of a crime and either after a trial or a plea bargain, you were found guilty and sentenced to do time in prison. You will spend most of your time in a locked building with people who have done despicable things, some worse than you can imagine. If you behave, it might go easier on you. Nonetheless, you will have to make the best of it if you are going to survive.
Steps Do not cry, show fear, or a vulnerability publicly. Doing so will quickly make you a target for other prisoners.
Learn to play spades, pinochle, chess, or basketball as it makes the time go by faster.
Get a prison job which will keep you occupied as the days pass by.
Read a lot. They have a library there so use it. Catch up on your reading. Consider taking correspondence courses and continuing your education. Consider writing as well. Letters to friends and family, fictional short-stories, and poetry can make time pass a bit faster.
Work out. It will make the time go by faster, and is an outlet for stress. In addition, physically fit people are less likely to be targeted as victims for strong-arm tactics.
Brace yourself for the social dynamics of prison. There are certain ways to behave towards others if you want to get by:
Do not become a 'punk' (girlfriend). While becoming a punk might give you some fleeting, temporary protection from other inmates, you will be a virtual slave to one. Punks are used and abused. They are traded away in card games and sold for cigarettes. It is not a path to long term survival in prison.
Do not snitch. If you see something illegal or violent, walk away and do not divulge any information if questioned later. Being known as a snitch will make bad things happen to you. (Of course, you have to decide whether your fellow inmates or the authorities are more dangerous. If you're questioned and lie to the jailkeepers, you can get in serious legal trouble.)
Stick up for yourself or you will be turned into a punk. It's better to get into a fight and lose than to be seen cowering or placating. Your reputation is more important than your desire to avoid pain, so guard it with your life.
Ultimately you should avoid any confrontation if you can, but if you can't avoid one, react quickly and with aggression. So swing first. If you happen to get beat down never call for the correctional officers--I repeat, never. Doing so will get you labeled a punk.
Beware of rape. You are more likely to be raped if you have been confined for sexual offenses, especially against juveniles, show any weakness or are even shy, have any feminine characteristics or are younger. Keep quiet about your offence and if you were convicted of a sex crime you will need to go into protective custody, grow a beard and cut that long hair.
Keep to yourself, keep your mouth shut and do not tell anyone about your personal life, family, or criminal history--keep them wondering, but don't overdo it. Do not discuss politics or personal feelings about anyone. In other words, don't put your business out on the street. At the same time, don't get involved in other inmate's business.
Become religious. Inmates tend to treat those always carrying a Holy Book and praying with more respect than others. In addition, many people find a church and belief in a higher power protective and supporting.(In some cases this isn't recomended, use your own judgement if in this situation)
Recognize that nights are the worst. You will miss your family, and freedom. You will probably cry, so stifle it into your pillow so no one will hear.
Tips [edit]Stay in contact with friends and family. Letters, cards and the occasional phone call will really help you maintain your sanity and an active role with your family. You may be out of sight for a while, but there is no reason to stay out of mind.
Tear up the return address from your incoming mail and cover the dial pad when calling home. Other inmates will write or call your friends and family if given a chance.
Don't get caught up in a jailhouse romance. The last thing you need is to be getting involved in a relationship.
@tk
Bottom line is, he says he needs to "get more naked" but he's lying. He won't give up any information tonight.
It would be in his best interest for Casey to completely pull himself off of his blog--that would also serve as a way for him to get back at the Haterz as well. He can't stand the Haterz, but he needs them to give him notoriety. He used Marty's 'threat' of legal action for the reason why he broke his promise to his wife.
By the way, am I the only one who is still astounded by how far this story has gone?
Do you remember when:
-He wrote that flyer to try to sell Muncy for $350k, including $9k "for [his] equity"?
-The ill-fated lottery idea?
-He actually thought he was going to work 9 to 5 at his "Rich Dad"s office every day?
-Anon used to write long, elequent and often hilarious posts. Each of which was far more interesting than what Casey wrote? Too bad Anon gave up, just like Tim MBA.
I have to admit that when I first began to walk Casey's trail of tears, I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went. I thought the story was good for a 3 month run, but wouldn't get renewed by the networks. Like most of you, I figured that Casey's story would end at the same time as his homeownership.
We were all wrong. The question I keep asking is the same question I asked myself the day I presented my wife with a 1.23 carat ring, "How is this ever going to be topped?"
Unlike my jewelery purchase, Casey always has an answer (though it seems more often that it's EN who publishes it).
"The only exposure we had discussed was that letting our new co, reitv, do a story on HOW not to do things from an investing standpoint."
Sounds like a profit motive to me.
"I sponsored HIS site."
That's a business relationship.
"Yes, Very, my actions and deeds have said different."
Uh-huh. Like when you wanted to use him to promote REITV?
"Sir, I wasn not trying to go into business with Casey, i was trying to throw a life preserver to someone who was drowning."
Maybe. But I'm not buyin' it.
"Have you EVER heard me say I was a wronged party? EVER?"
Honestly, I don't remember. But you certainly act that way - and that's OK, because I think you ARE a wronged party. Like I said before, if you're gonna go to a clown party, you're likely to get a pie in the face.
aack!!
S_t_C
@Sputnick
Hindsight is 20/20. Are you so perfect that you have never been duped by a liar and manipulator? Point finger sall you want, but neither of them stayed with Casey once they pierced his web of lies and saw that he was not honorable, truthful or moral.
So they got burned. You'd rather rub salt in their wounds, after all this time? Says a lot about you, if that's what you want to do.
Meanwhile, you're playing both sides of the fence here, if the screen name over on IAFF is you. What's YOUR motivation? Hmm? Why are you attacking Mark over there? If you have problems with mark, that's fine, but posting it over there is highly suspicious.
Your "poop in your shoes" antics were fun for a bit, but you are quickly growing tiresome. Pick a side, Sputnick.
Bubba Brigham: that was a cool post. Not sure if it was done in jest (it does seem rather snarkish/trollish) or if that's the way you really feel.
Anyway, Casey destroyed his own marriage in this case. He violated the 'contract' and never gave it a second thought.
Then he flies to Australia on one hour's notice and wonders why everyone is making such a big deal about it.
S_t_C
"1. The housing crash caused by idiots running up prices for cashback."
H: Sorry, but that's not even close to the real cause."
Arguably, it is tied directly into the housing crash. Housing soared, like any other commodity, because demand went through the roof. Demand soared because investors went on a buying spree (home ownership increased by about 1% from 2000 to 2005, so it wasn't first-time buyers driving the market:)
http://www.danter.com/statistics/homeown.htm
Investors flocked to the market because of the ridiculously cheap money and rapidly-rising values (which was fueled by other investors in a destructive cycle).
That alone would have created a bubble, but the bubble was greatly magnified by the increased interest in CDOs, which made it very profitable for banks to issue as many loans as possible, securitize them, and put them on the market. The CDO run was largely pushed by the hedge funds, which began to put large, leveraged, speculative positions on them.
There's plenty of blame to go around, including the home-buyers themselves. Buying a home is not anybody's "right", and no one should put themselves into a financially crippling situation.
So I do think that investors, with their cash-back and speculation, secure one of the major foundations of the current crash.
It's okay, Bubba, Camp Idiot will be back soon, and you can have your playground back, and you can attack minorities and religions and races at will.
2/10 for today's troll. Try doing your homework next time, and try not to use a subject that's been discussed in depth. One point for actually wasting time and energy to post it, and one point for being willing to make a complete ass out of yourself pretending to be on Casey's side.
You might want a new screen name, "Bubba" is hardly creative.
@Mouse & Pencil
Pick a side ????
Many of us see the world in shades of grey rather than pure black and white. I support what Duane is doing. Helping the family is a perfectly legitimate activity. I do not support what LMP is doing. A frivolous lawsuit against a clearly mentally ill person is as abusive of our courts as Casey's they are to busy to prosecute me. What Rob is doing in providing information and a clearing house to expose Casey I also support. Fanatics who think anyone who is not 100% on their side I do not support.
@the landlord:
I get "cold calls" from realtors, investors all the time trying to get me to sell my house because I live in a 'hot' market.
These people are the f**kin' scum of the earth.
Good lord, ar oyu ignorant, or would you argue with a tree.
When you take your car to a mechanic, do you take it there to see HOW NOT TO FIX YOUR MOTOR?
"Sounds like a profit motive to me."
So you think I said.. HEY I have an idea for teaching real estate investing.. lets teach them HOW NOT TO DO IT???
I sponsored his blog for 1500. I donate 3K every month to a charity or being of my choice. Again, I thought the guy was on the up and up as far as turning it around.
The only motives I had with Casey from a business standpoint were from an SEO sense.
You know.. its people like you who crow about people judging about others... you get that one??
Your Judging me about me Judgin Casey... youre a fool
M&P:
"Hindsight is 20/20. Are you so perfect that you have never been duped by a liar and manipulator?"
Actually, that's never happened to me. But I guess that could be luck.
"Point finger sall you want, but neither of them stayed with Casey once they pierced his web of lies and saw that he was not honorable, truthful or moral."
I'm not pointing fingers ... just amused by all the hypocrisy.
"So they got burned. You'd rather rub salt in their wounds, after all this time? Says a lot about you, if that's what you want to do."
I'm not rubbing salt. I've said that I believe Duane is a wronged party. Mark probably is, too. Casey seems to treat everyone with derision. But people who don't take responsibilty for the consequences of their own actions are no better than Casey.
"Meanwhile, you're playing both sides of the fence here, if the screen name over on IAFF is you."
Yep. It's me.
"What's YOUR motivation? Hmm? Why are you attacking Mark over there?"
Because I think Mark is a punk with a Napoleon complex, and thinks the solution to every problem is to sue someone. What he's doing is a waste of the court's valuable time.
"If you have problems with mark, that's fine, but posting it over there is highly suspicious."
Why?
"Your "poop in your shoes" antics were fun for a bit, but you are quickly growing tiresome. Pick a side, Sputnick."
I don't have to "pick a side". Why do I have to pick a side? This isn't a Good vs. Evil contest - far from it. It's a circus - clowns everywhere!
aack!!

Duane,
Not trying to be antagonistic, but c'mon already. You sponsored Casey's site because you were trying to throw him a life preserver???? All of the rest of us that had been following his story were filled with disgust by the time you came around. Why on earth did you want to "save" him??? Plenty of other more deserving people in this country that needed saving more than Casey. Even in Marietta, GA.
It is kinda insulting to the intelligence to hear you saying that offering to let him work for you, sponsoring his site and offering to let him do your show do not constitute a business relationship. And if truly doesn't - just what exactly does it constitute?? I am not against you but let's get naked (in caseyism) - and get real.
People do things for profit - why not? What is soo terrible about admitting it? To me I would much rather admit that I approached Casey Serin to make money off of him than to admit I did it because I was trying to "save" him. It sounds a helluva lot more intelligent (and believable),IMO.
I admire the fact that you are trying to help Casey's family - don't get me wrong. Plus you live in my hometown (Walton High School). I think you are have a good heart, but once again, let's keep it real.
@serinitus
Casey's mental health, or lack of it, is speculation on our part, and there is no known diagnosis we know of.
But, to be brutally cold about it, mental illness is no defense from lawsuit, unless diagnosed, and even then, they can be held accountable in a court of law. I don't think any ilness Casey *may* have is enough of a defense for his actions, or enough to have him labeled unfit to defend himself. Even if it were determined that he was unfit for trial, he'd still be incarcerated.
Look, LMP is doing what he thinks he needs to, to stop Casey and Marty in their tracks. UNTIL Casey is diagnosed and treated for mental illness (and that's a HUGE "if"), then this is how it needs to happen. LMP gave Casey every chance to avoid this happening, but he turned the chance down.
Your anger should be directed at Sputnick, who's posting on IAFF - ie. directly supporting someone you think is mentally ill to continue in his harmful behavior. "Pick a side" means STOP SUPPORTING CASEY, regardless if he's mentally ill or not.
Duane,
Who is the fool here? I wasn't the one who got involved with Casey Serin.
And I resent being called ignorant. I could accuse you of the same, based on your slack-jawed-yokel accent and the fact that you thought helping Casey was a good idea. But I'm above that kind of thing.
You accuse Casey of failing to admit his mistakes, yet you refuse to admit your own. You are a hypocrite.
Get over yourself.
S_t_C
@Sputnick
You think because someone has a southern accent that they are a yokel?
Wow.
You are so not worth responding to anymore.
Wow, Duane - calling people a fool and telling them they are ignorant because they don't agree with you is .........ignorant.
Why call names? I don't understand - you just admitted in your last post that there WAS a business relationship between you and Casey. Just because it was from a SEO standpoint doesn't make it less of one. I am sure Mother Theresa didn't approach only the lepers that could offer her something in return. What is sooo damn wrong about admitting that you were in it for the bucks??????
M&P -
I was making a POINT, but since you didn't get it, I'll explain:
Just because I have a different point of view than Duane, does not mean I am ignorant. And I resent the accusation. It's JUST AS ABSURD as if I were to assume Duane is ignorant because of his accent.
Understand?
Look, I don't want to get in a war with Duane, because (believe it or not) I'm of the opinion that he's a pretty decent guy.
My problem with him is that he just won't admit that he sought out Casey as a means of furthering his business interests, because of the noteriety of Casey's blog.
AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. NOTHING AT ALL.
Just be honest about it, for Chrissake...
S_t_C
PS - it's spelled S.P.U.T.N.I.K.
Let's play nice here:
Just because Sputnik is against the lawsuit doesn't mean he's a supporter, nor does it mean he should be the object of our anger. I, too, find the lawsuit a little bit suspect. Though my opinions pale next to the opinions of the court, whose hands it's in now.
Although S_t_C, I was a little diappointed in your "yokel" comment. Until that point I thought you were making a very reasonable case.
Landlord: Pls refer my explanation above ... I meant no offence.

I see what you were trying to do, use sarcasm to express an extreme view that you don't actually hold yourself. Though I think the sarcasm was a little too thickly veiled, since it seems that most of us didn't get it on first read.
Always have to be careful in written form. It much harder to correctly express yourself without the subtle tone changes and body gestures that make verbal communication so rich.
I've infuriated more than a few people via e-mail, simply because they didn't get the clue that I was being sarcastic. :)

That's entirely unnecessary and inappropriate with G apparently reading this forum!
Sputnik,
I went overboard, way overboard in calling you ignorant. I apologize. Normally, I save my IRE for Casey. I shouldnt have done that, and again, i apologize.
Caseys Sex Life,
Then from what you are saying, I have business relationships with General Motors, Microsoft, Dell, Ma Bell, Kraft Foods, and others because I own a GM truck, have a computer with some software, use the phone while eating macaroni and cheese.
