312. Casey Serin
July 15th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
trying to enjoy my sunday and not do any work…
no posts today, but i’m hoping to have an update on the whole situation tomorrow
By the way…,
I also told Duane that one of the defense attorneys I was speaking with told me to HOLD OFF THE SALE TILL MONDAY since there may be some issues with defense. I was gonna hear from the attorney on monday if there are any red flags.
I told Duane this but he didn’t care.. and Mark stated with full confidenence that there will NOT be any issues. As if he knows what he’s talking about..
That was another reason I was careful with this whole thing and waiting till the next business day is never too much to ask.
But NOOO they just keep thinking that i’m backing out and all that crap.
With this treatment I don’t know HOW I will be able to deal with these guys for another year.
I just wish, IF THEY TRULY have my best interest in heart they would BACK OFF and let me take care of my own crap and stop treating me like i’m some incompetent retard who needs adult supervision.
Will check back in on Monday…
Newsflash Snowflake. The world does not run on Caseytime™. There's gonna be posts and a Haterzcast and more. You don't own your own azz anymore flippy. You had best be hittin' the refresh button on all the sites because it's hot and gettin' hotter.
A defense atty telling him to hold off on a sale? WTF?
Waiting till the next business day is never too much to ask? Sh¡T dummy, FedEx is built on the exact opposite premise.
They just keep thinking that i’m backing out... You are backing out idjit.
Stop treating me like i’m some incompetent retard who needs adult supervision. your choice sweetness, parenting or penitentiaring.
Casey; you are so screwed.

Hmm... let's just make that "First."
Excellent decision walt. I second it.
:)
FORST?
A defense atty telling him to hold off on a sale? WTF?
That is absolute rubbish. What possible benefit would the blog provide to the defense attorney? Especially considering that Casey has admitted guilt on his blog on a hundred occasions.
That sounds like smoke and mirrors to me. Not to mention I don't know of too many defense attorneys who work on Sundays!
This is what baffles me when I hear people say that Casey is a "smooth talker". How do you figure? A "smooth talker" in my opinion is someone whose lies or deceitful tactics are not readily apparent. In Casey's case, it is entirely transparent. He is practically see-through. At least from my perspective.

I'm rapidly running out of brain cells to keep track of the soap opera called "As the Snowflake Turns", can you or someone put up a Readers Digest version?
Rob Dawg said...
Confession time. At 5;20 I went to church and then had one of those six dollar burgers at Carl's Jr. I only got back for the last 5 minutes. I really do want to hear what people think because I missed most of it. It does sound like Duane is tired of the same old negative opinion with no basis in fact accusations.
This is one of those times I when I have penis envy, because to Duane I would say....
SUCK MY DICK!
Dear God Whatever - I just had an freakin stroke when I read that. I am still convulsing with laughter.
Well Said!
Re: six dollar burger
Bah. Nothin' beats the $0.99 double cheeseburger at McD's. Did I mention it's double? Yeah.
Though Carl's does have the open fountain beverage service (which only some McD's have I think?) so you can ask for a cup of water at the counter and fill it with soda or something. They don't care, they're making like what six bucks an hour. Cheap eats, cheap eats.
can you or someone put up a Readers Digest version?
From where do you want to start?
McD's is disgusting. I get sick just thinking about how much of that crap I ate as a kid before I knew any better. Seriously, Carls Jr isn't much better, but McDonalds is beyond nasty, IMHO. They should all be burnt to the ground.
ummmm double cheesburger
they have 99 cent sweet tea at the micky d's down here. It will give you a rush for 18 hours.
Oh c'mon Walt - we saw a box that the meat came in - it was grade "E"
Which we figured stood for "edible."
Legal contracts and agreements are for loosers. That's all I have to say.
Good night. I look forward to this week's fireworks.
Night Lou - I'm right after ya honey.
I agree mcdonalds is nasty food. Most of that processed food is, I dont even feel right about a happy meal being dinner for the kids occasionally.
Ronald McDonald - SUCK MY DICK!
Dammit, I'm even saying that to the cat.
LOL
CSL
Check your email. Hi Rob. Hi Walt and everyone else who stuck around after Duane came on board. It's Heidi, the girl who hurt Duane's "feelings" back in January. Wonder why I'm back? Hmmm?
Love, Heidi
Heidi do share!!!!!!!
WB too.
I'll eat fast food when I am on the road travelling and just don't want to spend the time at a restaurant.
The McD's 99 cent spicy chicken and double cheeseburger taste okay to me and take up space in my stomach.
I do prefer the subway 12 club sub.
I very rarely eat out other than business travel or visitors. When people from out f town are visiting part of the 'Vegas' thing is hitting some of the restaurants. Maybe once a week at the most in normal life and that includes Pizza Hut large pan super supreme.
Too cheap to overpay for food at a restaurant even when it is jumping in price in stores.
Rob Dawg thinks a FedEx package compares reasponably to a twenty thousand dollar sale. Do you want to pile on with him?
Tom, defense attorneys absolutely do work Sundays. Do you think LE takes a holiday, too?
Rob Dawg said a week ago there's no more mileage to Mark's unlawful claims over fair use protections. BUT IT BEGS THE QUESTION AS TO THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE REST OF HIS CITATIONS.
“I agreed and accepted those rights under those conditions, and did so pursuant to Civil Code ß954 (and Favello vs. Bank of America Nat. Trust & Savings A** ’n., 1938 — supporting case law).”
Which refers to: Favello v. Bank of America etc. Assn., 24 Cal.App.2d 342 [Civ. No. 5760. Third Appellate District. January 11, 1938.]
Which says: This is an appeal from a judgment arising from an action to restrain an execution sale of real property on the ground that it was exempt by virtue of the prior recordation of a declaration of homestead by the judgment debtor, a plaintiff herein.
How does any of this case law apply to Casey? Perhaps it does not and Mark trying to use SMOKE to gain LEGS. But Casey still signs anything you put in front of him. Mark probably didn't even need to make up so much crap.
Under contract law an agreement that is settled cannot be proved up without all parties consenting to it in front of a judge and legal counsel. you cannot settle an agreement based on abuse of law, non-consenting agreement, without wifey’s approval, without counsel's approval, and without marty’s approval.
Without counsel in court, the matter before the court may end in injustice.
@walt
How about T-36 or -72 hours, basically the weekend festivities.
Thanks Heidi - you are da bomb.
According to all the emails I have gotten Duane LeGate has very few female supporters. The "southern gentleman" shtick did not impress our astute female audience in the least. Nor the claims of helping Galina or the "Save the Houses!" rally cry. I mean I thought I was hard on him - but a great many ladies really really despise him.
For those of you who don't frequent Ben's blog (housingbubbleblog.com)--and shame on you from missing out on the premier site for not only real estate, but all things financial--you have to check out this thread:
http://thehousingbubbleblog.com/?p=3106#comments
In Jeff Foxworthy "If X, then you might be a redneck" style, posters post "You might be a subprime borrower."
And Marty has spoken.
You are damn right rob....casey is going to really start feeling the heat now.
Lossmit has actionable damage now in court (that is about as far as my legalese goes). Meaning he has a signed contract with casey and casey should have taken care of his damn wife and not flip flopped on the deal. Now he will have to deal with it in court.
Further proving casey is a moron and inept at everything above a 3rd grade level.
Way to not clean up your fucking mess casey and go back to your usual wishy washy self.
PS casey get a haircut.
"trying to enjoy my sunday and not do any work…"
That gets funnier and funnier every single fuckin' time I read it!
"trying to enjoy my monday...my tuesday...my wednesday...my thursday...my friday and not do any work. Damn i'm glad when the weekend comes!"
(Someone cue up the DEVO "Workin' In A Coal Mine" here)
"...they would BACK OFF and let me take care of my own crap and stop treating me like i’m some incompetent retard who needs adult supervision."
Be careful waht you wish for, kid.
I think they're fixin' to start treatin' you like you're all grown up.
Which means:
Judicially speaking, they're gonna strap you down to a table and using industrial strength rubber gloves, pull your still-beating heart out through your asshole.
Yes, hobbit...the "Frisco Human Sacrifice".
Welcome to adulthood!
Allah Akbar!
The bum's rush, and shady business taking place on non-business days. LMP thinks he is judge, jury and executioner. He is just as desperate -- he must be broke himself. It is just sickening the depth's plumbed by this con man. He represented himself as a professional to help Casey debt issues, and entered into an agreement with him? Debt collection is not an unregulated industry in California. I would love to see what the Department of Consumer Affairs or the Attorney General would say about such creatures lurking and preying on the unsuspecting. Now, he is trying to legally steal Casey's only asset? He has never given Casey one red cent. Despicable.
Hot Damn - Marty has spoken!!! He has no desire to sue Casey - and I would think he is owed a lot more money than Mark or Duane are.
Marty, if you read this would you please email me at caseyssexlife@gmail.com - I would surely appreciate it.
marty should help fund casey's representation.
FWIW, I think Marty did a very good job at describing how Turdflake violated their joint-venture agreement and how those violations have harmed his financial interests.
As for a summary...
Basically on Saturday, Casey failed to complete the transfer of IAFF to Duane. In addition, he know wants the money from the sale of IAFF to go to him for his legal defense against future criminal charges rather than to Galina to pay off some of her debt. Both Mark and Duane are adamantly opposed to that. That precipitated the impromptu Saturday Hatercast in which Duane participated but Mark didn't. Basically Duane didn't know what to do, didn't know how to tell Galina that she wouldn't be getting the $20k, and discussed Mark's reaction. Mark was furious and is planning re-initiating his lawsuit against Casey as soon as he can on Monday.
Meanwhile, Casey whines about how he is being bullied by Duane, Mark, and Marty (more on Marty below) and doesn't like it. He claims that the failure to transfer the IAFF domain was because of miscommunication (which Duane plainly says is bullshit and typical Casey waffling). Casey says that he wants to work things out, but doesn't want to be associated with them for another year.
On tonight's Hatercast, it was basically a rehashing of Mark's first-hand perspective on it. Basically, he feels that he wants compensation for Casey ruining his reputation, but also wants to make sure that Galina is taken care of.
Now Marty also seems to be setting up a lawsuit against Casey (and possibly Mark and/or Duane if the IAFF sale ever goes through) by outlining his opinion on how Casey has repeatedly violated their JV agreement and caused PageDaddy to lose money.
So basically, Turdflake has managed to piss off pretty much all of the major players (aka, his business partners) yet again.
To wrap things up, Mark and Marty seem ready to file lawsuits soon over Casey's mismanagement of the situation. Duane seems more amused by this clusterfuck than angry, although he is upset that this is upsetting Galina.
And meanwhile the new site, CHC, started up by a few former EN posters is on the verge of imploding... but that's neither here nor there.
Lost Cause:
"Now, he is trying to legally steal Casey's only asset?"
Just what the fuck are you babbling about?
"Legally Steal"?
Do you read your crap before you post it, or do you close your eyes and use "The Force"?
" I would love to see what the Department of Consumer Affairs or the Attorney General would say about such creatures lurking and preying on the unsuspecting."
You've got a hard on for LMP because he's going after Shitflake for skiving him in a business deal?
Yeah...good idea! Go after LMP with the regulatory boards.
We already know LMP is very jealous of his rep and has a full measure of the "Latin Pride Thang".
I predict that if you pinch his tit, he'll have your balls in a sausage-grinder verrrrrry quickly.
And over Casey Serin? CASEY SERIN!
Boy, that would qualify you for "Mouth-breather of the Year" award, wouldn't it?
I glommed one thing about the LMP cat, he doesn't fuck around. He said the secret "subpoena" word, and the Hobbit hoovered every last reference to jim from IAFF within a day....did you forget that?
And he's got a mean streak which he enjoys using.
Takes one to know one, that.
I just don't understand why there are all these people supporting him again. Who are these people? I logged in there the other day and it was like a Love In. How on earth can you be supporting Casey at this point?
Yep MarkLimpingPro sounds like a kindergartner...
I want this, I want that
Thats not fair
Im telling
Wait tell the judge finds out
Thats mine
you dont have the right
blah blah blah
walt:
excellent synopsis, thanks.
If you were able to keep all the twists and turns of this tawdry little melodrama without notes, you should screenwrite for the soap operas.
The myebid auction is now up to $100,100. Fake, of course. Myebid unlike eBay has no system for verifying registrations so anyone can sign up and make any kind of crazy (tm) bid. So, it's basically an exercise in futility.
pleather murse:
"The myebid auction is now up to $100,100."
Ahhh, the Doctor Eeeevil bid!
walt, thanks for the summary. Mark is doing a good job ruining his own reputation!
marty should support casey's representation, to represent his own interests.
I just don't understand why there are all these people supporting him again. Who are these people? I logged in there the other day and it was like a Love In. How on earth can you be supporting Casey at this point?
I certainly don't support him, and never really did except maybe back in September when I thought that he was just a kid who got in over his head. But I would like to see him do the right thing. Several times now, he has seemed ready to do so.
What is the right thing? Pretty much covered by the settlement agreement with Mark:
1) Sell IAFF and give the money to Galina to pay down debt;
2) Get a W2 job;
3) Stop blogging entirely;
4) Stay out of real estate and all other investments for at least a few years; and
5) Prepare his legal defense to any future criminal and civil cases against him (and there will be).
I'll offer whatever encouragement that I can in order to get him redirected toward those objectives. It might seem like support, but please trust me that I don't intend it as such.
wormsign, new post over at IAFF.
he's cancelling the agreement. hah.
Thanks CSL.
Oh;
By the way, kidz, I'll give y'all the plain-talkin' low-down on why the hobbit is weaseling out of the deal.
This is from the innerest of inner circles...I can tune my tee-vee right into Fliptard's brain to watch how it works and what drops down the chute to his mouth.
Y'all ready?
Here it is:
Casey calls Galina:
CS: "Hi, Honey...I got a firm offer to pay off 20k of your debt.
Will you take me back? Can I get back into Yulia's place and check on my files?"
GS: "Nyet...job tvodjemadji, durak!"
CS: "Shit! ...deal's OFF. Fuck the Toilet Scrubber AND her debt...I'm gonna need more for the lawyer to keep my rectum air- and water-tight."
That's it, gang...that's why yesterday's "Halleluiah..the plantation is SAVED!" transaction became today's "Gee...I need some time to explore my FEELINGS!" crap.
FWIW, my take: Turdflake has gotten himself into a no-win situation. He can't satisfy his JV agreement with Marty at the same time he is complying with the terms of his settlement with Mark. Obviously, he got himself into this mess. But it seems to me that he's finally figured out that the JV and settlement agreements are incompatible.
So which one should he take at this point? If I were in his shoes (which would NEVER happen), I'd go with the one who could do the least amount of damage to me in a lawsuit over breach-of-contract. It very well might be Marty who has the stronger case because his damages will be far more easier to demonstrate than Mark's. I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. But if I were facing his situation, I could see why he might fear Mark's retribution less than Marty's.
Of course, I don't believe for a second that this type of calculus has occurred. He doesn't want to get a job and quit blogging, and I doubt very much that he cares about paying off Galina's debts either. He'd rather continue to putter around with the blog than take any steps to correct his present miserable situation. In other words, Casey is just being Casey. Yet again.
wormsign, new post over at IAFF.
he's cancelling the agreement. hah.
Just like all the other agreements.. including the one with Galina. Casey thinks he can unilaterally cancel an agreement. No such luck Fliptard™. I have warned you about fucking with a Judge. You are not that special.
@walt526
I don't agree with your statements.
First, in Marty's JV agreement, is there a performance clause? The agreement can be satisfied if it is done over 100 years, 1000years! From what I have seen, LossMitPro was correct in the statement that it is a revenue sharing agreement. Participant A brings X to table, participant B brings Y to table, revenue is shared in Z manner.
I think Casey is more afraid of losing IAFF. It is his source of attention and affirmation. See Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
I think Casey is more afraid of losing IAFF. It is his source of attention and affirmation
Sure, I'd agree with that. In fact, I said something quite similar in my earlier post: Casey is caving into Marty because he wants to continue blogging. Simple as that.
Would Marty have a case? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. All I can say is that I found his post very convincing. If I were sitting on a jury with my layman's understanding of contract law, I'd find in favor of Marty. Whereas Mark's lawsuit is more of a crapshoot, in my view.
Ok.. my little walk through Marty's comments.
Clause 1, stipulates isolation of this venture from other ventures that Casey might do. Irrelevant to LMP.
Clause 2, Isolates previous business of participants. Irrelevant to LMP.
Clause 3, States creation of new entity. Irrelevant to LMP.
Clause 4, Isolation of liability of either entity to past liabilities of Casey. This may be of interest to LMP. But there are issues of intent. Long read of this is that if ForeclosureCode goes through, Marty is protected from Casey's liabilities, but it does not isolate Casey from his own with respect to this agreement.
Clause 5, States Casey will from a new entity. Not breached because there is no performance clause. It could be done in 100 years and still complete the clause. This may have incidental interest to LMP, but just the existence of such an entity.
Clause 6a. Has expertise.. etc and blog. Interestingly to Marty, guess what. It is not breached, you don't have a performance duration on the blog. You needed to have it also state continued presence of blog for X period during sale of book or for Y years after date of signing JV. (or something to that effect).
Clause 6b. Supply content in digital format. Not breached, there is no performance timeline. He could do it in 1000years and it will satisfy the agreement. All it specifies here is the format of data.
Clause 6c. Make available for interviews. Not breached, there is no performance requirement/timeline. Again, Casey could do this when he is 90 years old and satisfy the agreement.
Clause 6d. Pay initial amount clause. Not breached because no timeline. By one day, month, year etc.. not stated.
... skipping several
Clause 10a, Confidentiality agreement, looks like it was breached because of disclosure. Casey can't keep his mouth shut. There is an issue of intent for this agreement which could put holes in this part of the agreement.
10b - similar.
10c Marty, you said item, product containing or based upon or derived from the info. This does not mean that Casey could not sign away his side of the rights. That person would have then to obey those statements. One big problem though. Check Clause 1 which contradicts this one because it says he can use the info provided that the theme is not used.
In close, Marty you need to learn how to write JV agreement. I just drove a freight train through yours.
@walt526
Casey is caving into Marty because he wants to continue blogging. Simple as that.
And that Marty is saying what Casey wants to hear.. that he can continue blogging and keep IAFF.
See my analysis if Marty has a case. The agreement has major holes. Marty did not put any performance clauses in it. Casey would probably object to them anyway. He doesn't want to perform. It is work!
Looks like I was typing so fast that I started talking pigeon. Marty you need to learn how to write JV agreement.
Ok.. should be..
In closing; Marty, you need to learn how to write a JV agreement.

LMP is the kind of person Duane was talking about for whom the purchase of the IAFF blog could easily be worth 5 digits. -- R.D., 5-30-07 5:11pm

And I, frankly speaking, look with more distain (sic) upon those whom (tm) cast stones at Mr. Serin for doing what they’ve either done themselves or wish they had the guts to. -- M.V., on repupil.com
From MArty's Latest post:
"As stated before, there is a 50% / 50% ownership and revenue share in the Book Series. Most publishers will give you an average of 20% revenue share, but no ownership."
So Marty expected casey to provide:
-The story
-The cash to pay publishing costs
-All the marketing (remember his post on IAFF?)
In return, what the hell is Marty doing for his 50% share? How is Casey lucky to be getting more then 20%, when Marty isn't actually doing anything except recording and transcribing?
Yet another bad Snowflake deal.
BJ I think you're wrong but I'm not sure... I don't think that there needs to be a performance clause here because Casey stated that he is not going to do these things to fulfill the contract, openly stated repeatedly that he's going to breach these clauses and he's done with the book... so the lack of those specifics doesn't matter.
I'm pretty sure there's a name for this but I really don't remember what it is.
@Rob - are we still allowed to archive? If so, just in case this disappears by the time y'all wake up on the west coast.

I hope people see that I’m being very reasonable here… there is absolutely NO business between Duane and me or Mark and me. Our business stuff has been over a LOONG time ago. Things didn’t work out, so we didn’t they leave it at that?
Why did they continue coming back to the hater sites and continued being part of the drama. Not only that, now they are LEADING the drama by scheduling talkcasts to talk trash about me. What did I do to deserve this?
Why are these “BUSINESS MEN” getting involved in all this on a PERSONAL level? The have absolutely nothing to gain out of this. Or DO THEY?
I was willing to cooperate as you can see from my last talkcast. I just wanted the whole thing to be over. The BS “settlment” and sale of the domain was their idea for me to get Marty off my back (I should have never done it like that, it wasn’t very fair to Marty either).
But keep in mind, selling the domain and pulling the plug on this whole thing was MY idea. They wanted me to do this for a long time and I finally came around but not because of them. The primary reason is I don’t want to lose my wife, all this publicity has been hurting her from the start and I didn’t see it. Duane and Mark where telling me the same thing and that’s why I was always willing to listen to them because in a way I though they might be right.
So the domain sale was arranged by Mark after talking with Duane. I appreciated the offer at that point and I was even OK at the time with giving Mark a “commission” out of the sale. He insisted on doing a “contract”.
I trusted them again (WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS???) and figured this is my best way out. I wanted to get my wife money, sell the blog and get out of this whole mess.
If this “settlement” was a way to do it, so be it.
But now I see this whole thing is being used to screw me. I see how Duane acts even after promising to to do an “internet truce” and no more talking about me online.
I was REALY REALLY upset at Duane in the past for violating my privacy and plastering all those emails, and WORSE positioning himself as a means for my wife to get back at me via the internet.
I don’t blame my wife, she was upset at me and I’m the one to blame for starting this whole blog. However, what REASONABLE person will put himself in the middle of a struggling marriage?
And Mark’s frivolous lawsuits, and violating my copyright and plastering the audios… don’t get me started.
You heard me on the last podcast though, I was actually cooperating with everybody because I was willing to look past all those issues.
But those issues keep coming back.
Duane keeps talking trash and treating me like crap. (I walk away from my computer for a few hours and he thinks i’m canceling our agreement and sends me like 10 threatning emails every 15 mintues then pulls out… and THEN ON TOP OF ALL THAT calls for a podcast with the haters and talks more trash, after PROMISING an internet truce to me the night before. )
Mark, keeps throwing his legal stick around and if you remember he was provoking Marty to sue him by posting our copyrighted audios. Mark just wants to pick a fight and can’t sit still.
Mark you keep telling me about this “spiritual connection” but its hard for me to connect the words with actions dude! Why bully people just ‘cuz you have some personal issue with them. WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST WALK AWAY (after our business relationship didn’t work out)?????
I didn’t provoke you I didn’t attack you I didn’t do ANYTHING after we had a falling out. Why did you keep rallying up the haters against me? What? You wanted the best for me? Come on dude, that doesn’t make any sense. The lawsuit was used to get all this mortgate crap exposed in court and that’s what you told all the haters.
I was willing to OVERLOOK all that stuff… everybody is a witness of that. I was willing to forgive.
Look, I know I’m NOT INNOCENT HERE.
I know I WAS THE ONE who got this whole mess started. Yes, you don’t have to keep rubbing it into my face.
Now I see how toxic this whole thing got and I’m trying to walk away.
I have bigger issues to worry about, like FBI.
I need money for a criminal defense attorney and Mark knows that. I don’t have money to defend myself against Mark’s stupid lawsuits. I wish I did because I’m tired of being bullied.
But anyway, i’m done whining here.
Sorry if this whole thing has been repetitive. I’m just sitting here, its Sunday night, I had a little bit of time to TRY to relax but it was hard to do. All this stuff is on my mind and I can’t get any peace.
I’m kind of just dumping my thoughts and feeling here, hard to keep it all bottled up.
One of the worst parts is that the person I long to speak with the most, I haven’t been able to. It’s all my fault. I should have never done this whole publicity this way. Now I have to reap the consequences. But I just wish the people who SAY they want to help me, would just BACK OFF and quit making things worse.
Man, this whole thing is so tough… and it’s lonely. I hope I don’t regret dumping all these thoughts here, after I wake up tomorrow. But for now it feels better. The blog has been sort of like therapy, in a way.
Thanks guys for listening.
And even funnier, a short time later on IAFF.
Now he appreciates Mark trying to help his marriage in the past. And then...not.
July 15th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
And now I see and hear that Mark (LossMitPro) is trying to screw up my domain sale any way he can. Why is this guy so hateful towards me? I did NOTHING to him after our business relationship didn’t work out. He has ALWAYS been on the attack mode.
And I can’t believe the guy is spreading false rumors that I’m gonna leave the country or run away or some crap like that. I need a freakin’ defense attorney and I have a right to try to sell the blog to the highest bidder and ONE THAT I’M COMFORTABLE in order to raise some money for myself and have money to give to my wife too.
The key is selling to a person i’m COMFORTABLE with. The thing is I was comfortable with Duane ONLY because my wife seems to trust the guy (why I don’t know, but anyway) and I know should would have been happy.
But I just refuse to be mistreated by Duane and Mark the way they have been. Waiting a year to collect 50% revenue and putting up with these bullies controlling my life is something i’m NOT willing to do, sorry.
Also, looking back, the “creative” settlement was not the right way to treat the only person who IS losing money and getting screwed over by me, my publisher Marty.
I went along for the time because Marty himself used bully tactics on me when I first tried to pull down the blog. But honestly I also didn’t REALLY want to shut down so I was using Marty’s lawsuit threats as an excuse more or less.
However, the treats where real and I don’t know what Marty would have tried to do for sure. I didn’t want to deal with that and didn’t want to put my wife through additional crap.
Also, he was gonna publish the book without me. And I have a weak spot for making profits from my publicity so that was another carrot.
It was still my fault for NOT shutting down for good the first time. I’m sorry for using Marty as an excuse. I could have stood up to him his bully tactics and threats of a lawsuit (he reminds me of Mark in that regard).
So this settlement was going to be a creative way to get Marty out of the picture because by assigning the book rights to Mark, then Marty would have to deal with Mark directly.
Mark always wanted to attack Marty. Mark didn’t like the fact that Marty came in between me and my wife when I first tried to shut down. Mark needs to realize though is that the MAIN reason wasn’t Marty, it was ME. I was the one that couldn’t put the blog down.
So Mark has been looking for a way to pick a fight with Marty ever since then. That is what I meant that Mark is interfering with my marriage. He didn’t like how things went down and he saw Marty as the bad guy. Mark thinks Marty doesn’t care about my marriage and my wife. So as a result Mark has always been upset at Marty.
While I appreciate Mark looking out for me and my marriage, I DO NOT APPRECIATE him trying to pick a fight with Marty. That’s what stealing our copyrighted book audios and plastering them on his website was all about. So when I accused Mark of interfering with my marriage on the podcast before last, that’s what I was referring to.
And that is why Mark got so pissed off and threatened to “go for my F’ing throat” or something like that. Perhaps it was a communication as he thought I was saying that Mark is DIRECTLY interfering with my marriage. Because, the fact is, YES Mark is no longer communicating with my wife, as far as I know.
However, the WHOLE PREMISE of going after Marty was due to a personal issues related to Marty’s treatment of my marriage. Mark didn’t like it and figured its his place to throw his legal stick around. Well MARK, ITS NOT YOUR PLACE! Please understand that. I appreciate your intent but YOU’RE DOING IT IN THE WRONG WAY.
Do you guys see how complicated and convoluted this whole mess is?
I’ve been talking with Marty directly and we’re working out some kind of a settlement. I’ve screwed marty by backing out of the contract but I also hope he doesn’t fight dirty.
Having said that Marty has been the MOST reasonable “character” in this whole end-of-the-blog drama.
I talked with him and he just wants his HARD expenses covered. He is willing to walk away from the whole thing, forget the book, absorb the lost time and energy and just be done with the whole thing.
I wish every would be willing to do the same.
Here is my favorite part:
"I hope people see that I’m being very reasonable here… there is absolutely NO business between Duane and me or Mark and me. Our business stuff has been over a LOONG time ago. "
If I read the datestamp correctly, his business with Duane was over less than 36 hours prior, when Casey told him he was online transferring the domain...and didn't. I guess in Caseyworld (TM) that is a LOONG time ago.
Fliptard is likely to know many of the Sac area judges way too well soon.
I also wonder if he'll have to come to court in Vegas when Marty sues him.
What a CaseyBus wreck.
I guess his blog could morph into a travel blog reviewing different courts and the cities he visits the courts in.
"Clark County small claims court has absolutely miserably hard waiting benches outside the court room. Fortunately the friendly bailiff let me use my Blue Ball!"
I wish Timeline Guy would come back damnit.
Just too bizarre.
At this point I on't know who to believe. Casey's off the deep end and LossPro is a wanker. Duane? What's up with that guy and why is he so concerned about Casey's wife?
Oh the drama!
Casey's just about ready to bolt.
I, too, think he's getting ready to leave. I don't have a clue as to where he's going to go. I know a person who is addicted to gambling. It's not pretty. Lies about where she is going, what she is doing. Luckily, she has a successful business to keep her afloat. She complains about never being able to travel or retire. Well, think about the hundreds of thousands you have put in the pockets of the casino owners. There's your retirement. Casey never had any success to offset his addiction. That kid's going to be running for the rest of his life.
Casey needs to unload fast because IAFF as well as the other “casey sites” have nothing to do with the housing market and everything to do with his personal drama.
The problem I see is IAFF has nowhere to go except to continue entertaining those currently following the story. I can’t see anybody just tuning being excited.
And the book deal?
Who outside of those following the story would be interested in buying this book or tape(s)? And why would they want to buy the story when they already know what’s going on?
My advice would be to sell the blog to the highest bidder. LossPro isn't a lawyer so let Casey get a lawyer and have the courts settle this.
If he can get LossPro and Duane out of the picture as soon as possible so much the better. If the courts rule against Casey well that's the way the cookie crumbles.
And Marty?
If he’s he’s foolish enough to put out the book/tapes fine. Let him. It’s going be sold over the internet and if his company recoups its’ expenses and makes a few bucks great. Because that’s all that can be expected.
If Casey wins in court he needs to sell NOW while IAFF is still hot.
He can always setup another site at another time and the crowd is guaranteed to follow. (Assuming he doesn't want to long before returning.)
I don't think Casey is about to flee. First of all, I don't think he has the money. Next, he is aware that the FBI is investigating him, so his name is presumably on a list where it will get flagged if he tries to leave the country. Then, he would have to go to a country that doesn't permit extradition to the States, and he hasn't the money for touring foreign countries either. Even if he could scare up the money somehow, it would be work to find out how he could sneak out of the country and where he could go, and we know that he has an allergy to work.
Right now, KC is simply out of options. He has a contract with Marty to keep the blog going and a contract with Mark to shut it down. The judge will tell him what to do this week and if he has any sense at all (even a sense of fear), he'll do what the judge says. And frankly, given that the FBI is investigating him, I'm not only confident that he has a sense of fear but I also suspect that it is currently predominant in his mind.

Here is what my little mind thinks will happen.
Duane will say fu to casey.
Duane was really only going to buy the blog so Galina could get the cash by proxy. Galina has pretty much made up her mind about Casey.
Casey knows this, and doesn't want to give her the money now.
Duane will just GIVE Galina the cash to pay off her debts and take her under his wing like he tried doing with casey and his 6k/mo or whatever it was deal.
hopefully, Galina starts a blog.
I can also see Galina's story being a lifetime movie special.
@Dan
Good point. Ironically, it appears that Galina is the one with the viable, marketable story in all this mess. Not Casey. I'd want to buy her book.
Ha! That's hilarious.
CSL: "According to all the emails I have gotten Duane LeGate has very few female supporters."
It does seem like there's a gender gap. I kept questioning my visceral response because three male posters I respect feel otherwise. After the last several days, I'm wondering if they simply judge the situation by different criteria.

I see a great story/movie here.
One of a conman out to scam the world with a ring of bad people, and a small group who think it is terrimble for such an injustice.
They call the authorities but to no avail. Then the virtual team sees the scammer try to screw his wife and family and say "enough". Using their skillz, they set upon to bring the villian & his ring of dirtbag associates to justice using the internet to uncover toxic deals and work together.
While trying to do this, they hit roadblocks and trolls who try to twart them. But they perservere.
In the end, the Alphageeks prevail, the evildoer goes to jail and everyone else picks up the pieces of their lives. G's character would be like Nell in Dudley Doright who is saved from foreclosure by our heros.
Basically "Goonies" for geeks that are now 30 something, have a beer gut and no life.
Best thing, G is brought in as technical advisor and uses the fee to pay off all her debt. And of course all the names are changed so that Turdflake cannot sue anyone for 1 dirty penny.
Too bad a young Jerry Lewis cannot play snowflake with a pageboy wig. That annoying voice pissing off all the partners as a hairbrained businessman who always screws up.

How about this irony. Galina writes the book, is still married, and then 1/2 the income goes to Casey!
I'd probably buy Galina's book.. I believe she'd actually be semi-truthful..
