Testing the Mettle


Today we start finding out just what kind of lawyer Pookie our Marshmallow has retained. All lawyers insist they do all the talking. Real lawyers follow through. Look, we all know Casey can't shut up. He's not wired that way. Today however his lawyer finds out what we've known all along. Legally Casey is his own worst enemy. Sure, sure Casey will go with the standard "Oh, you meant blogging too?" but it won't fly with a real lawyer. The worst casey (for Casey) is if the lawyer gets curious and reads EN or Caseypedia and finds out his client is pathological. But Casey is apparently persuasive in person so there is one worse scenario. Casey could convince the lawyer to enter into legal procedings that involve discovery. After all Casey has made the recent pilgrimage to NRU and "has his story straight" so there's nothing to fear from telling the "truth." Snigger.

FIRST thing the lawer will do is get Mark's case tossed.

Unknown said...

Good. Let's have some court action.
Prediction: Mark V. goes down in flames.

Property Flopper said...

I doubt it will end up in court, Mark only likes to go after those who cannot fight back.

Mark knows he's outclassed.

Rob Dawg said...

The lawyer has seen the agreement. The lawyer according to Casey has talked to V and the lawyer has advised Casey to substantially follow the terms. The lawyer has ALREADY decided not to challenge the contract.

Why doesn't everybody get this? Mark has already won. There is no "unwinning." An attempt at jdicial reversal is an even bigger win. Casey is getting out of this particular trouble on exceedingly generous terms. Any other outcome is worse.

Sputnik_the_Cat said...

aaack!!

I think LossMitPunk has already run away. Casey's lawyer called him, and suddenly there's an agreement to settle out of court.

Bullies usually back down when somebody stands up to 'em. Too bad the circus monkey is gonna have to give up his Victor Fuentes, LA Law fantasies.

Mark has already won? What did he win? $1500 bucks? Whoopitee-fuckin-doo.

Caseys Sex Life said...

Mark Villasenor, sold his reputation and his name for $1500. Hope it was worth it.

Rob Dawg said...

You mean just like before the lawyer got involved? The suddenly was when Casey agreed to settle in front of the judge and signed papers to that effect. All we see here is a lawyer agreeing with Mark.

I sure hope there isn't a confidentiality clause. The justice process in this case would benefit from more people knowing what's going on, including me.

Bette said...

Rob:The suddenly was when Casey agreed to settle in front of the judge and signed papers to that effect.

Casey says that is a lie.

The only thing that happened IN FRONT OF the judge was we went up and said we’re gonna try to settle this thing. The judge gave us our blessed and told us he hopes we work it out.

So, which is it LMP?

”Getting banned from shlocky sites was a catalyst for a shut down.”
 
I’ll ask again... Are you or are you not taking credit for the CHC shutdown? Simple question; requires a yes or no response.

@ Anita Biernow
Casey has selective memory. ;)

~Mark

Caseys Sex Life said...

Mark Villasenor -

I think any reasonably intelligent person would surmise that the heavy handed moderation and banning those that had different viewpoints was the reason for the shutdown of CHC, not "caseys sex life." So the answer to your question is no.

YOU are the attention whore Mark Villasenor. I have posted under many different names in the past - I really have never given a damn if anything is attributed to me or not. And who am I anyways - I will tell you who I am - an anonymous person that is here for shits and giggles - do you really think "caseys sex life" needs its ego fed? Can you say the same?

Now how about answering my question - I am just here for the fun, not the recognition - why are YOU here?

Arthur Wankspittle said...

Just catching up with things and some of what I was going to say has been overtaken by events. Anyway, here's my take FWIW:
Casey's Lawyer has $1500 up front, probably out of some corporate credit. He's read the details and suggested Casey settles. I give it about 2 weeks before Casey gets a letter along the lines of "you have ignored our professional advice....no longer think it is desirable for us to work together...."
Casey, or Prince Sadim as I will henceforth be referring to him, (I thought that was rather good - Supporterz (or Suckerz?) ask a grown up for an explanation) will find an excuse to re-start the blog before the end of August.

Look forward to seeing what happens, regards
Arthur Wankspittle

CSL,

FTR The dude has said it was a bandwidth issue.

lawnmower man said...

And I'll ask you again, Mark: are you responsible for the CH.C shutdown, yes or no?

Eric said...

FTW: Here is a satire-based observation...

Has anyone else noticed that 80% of Casey's supporterz (and by 80% I mean 4 out of the 5 of them all have a website? Very odd that their cryptic posts such as, "way to go Casey", or "keep your chin up" and other short replies along with their domain linked to both their name, and posted below their names.

It's good to see that Casey's supporterZ are using him for SEO and yet he deludes himself in to thinking they actually give a rat's arse about him.

Really, well, as I understand the issue is with hosting. Has nothing to do with the CHC management style or practices. But that’s not what you suggested before. (And folks say “I” live on Fantasy Island???)

Reposted the above from tail of last thread.

So here is commentary from the peanut gallery.

What are your thoughts on Casey's lawyer realizing after spending 2-3 hours listening to Casey's story and providing another hour or so of research and leg work to read the suits, saw his $1500 running out and decided a settlement was the only thing he could do? What if realistically, Casey has no more cash and the lawyer knows Casey is about tapped and decides that he knows court appearances and filings could soone put the lawyer on the other side of the table.

Just some questions from Captain Obvious.

If you didn't care about attributions, you'd be using your real name.

You do realize that hacking CHC is a Federal felony? Maybe you and Casey can be cellmates! :)

H Simpson said...

>>>At 7:53 AM, Rob Dawg said...

LMP: Is it true the lawyer contacted you? If so, did you ask him:

1. Did KC pay you yet?
2. Was the check drawn on Snowflake & G's closed account?
3 Was it billed to his Paypal/Bank of Venius Discover card?
4. Did he offer a cut of his sweet upcoming movie deal?

Sprezzatura said...

@LMP -- there was a rumor that the CHC shutdown was not due to bandwidth issues or a crappy webhost, but because you were none too happy about some of the commentary posted at CHC.

That seems unlikely, since the Google archive of the site is a string of "you must be logged in to view this page," but this being the Caseysphere, people will believe anything.

Eric said...

According to TheDude
CH.C was the victim of massive growth. It grew faster and bigger than expected. The majority of hosting plans either sell bandwidth by 1-2 gigs/month (which for anything more than your family blog is nothing), or you pay out the rear for unlimited b/w.

There was nothing The Dude could have really done. I think the entire experience should humble some of the moderators that may have let their pseudo-power go to their heads a little. If not, so be it.

I'm sure TheDude will get the site either moved or up in the next day or so.

Caseys Sex Life said...

I will leave hacking up to the geeks like you, Broward - it never even crossed my mind.

Of more interest to me though was your comment about using my real name. Bad idea on your part, wasn't it? I guess since all of us know about the breakup with Dominique the Dominatrix (if I remember correctly) and your penchance for S&M, then you think we should all be as stupid as you?

Broward Horne said...

Any unauthorized digital access and destruction is now automatically classed as a terrorist crime, it's a Federal felony.

LossMitPro said...

@ Sprezzatura
Well, there you have it; idle rumors! Nonetheless, I’ll go on record saying that the management of CHC and I are not only on GREAT terms, but I have no issue with how they’ve handle certain matter to date. Besides that, an ISP (which CHC is considered to be under law) can only be attacked legally when certain situations apply. And none of those issues arise from anything stated on the CHC site; not where I’m concerned anyway.

Hope this dispels the rumor mill?

Broward Horne said...

I'm not insinuating that EN is frequented by Homeland Security, I'm stating as a fact from the redirects to my own site. :)

I've also seen the State Dept and a couple of local enforcement agencies from CA.

"Where do I turn myself in?"

That's not my problem but I can only hope that the moderators of CHC either know you didn't hack, or are more forgiving than you are. :)

You're pretty young.
Ain't ya? :)

casey's,(self-actualized), sex life:

One of the Haterz apparently works at DHS.

That may not be all that big a deal, though.

The US Coast Guard is now a DHS agency.

And I don't think they GAS if someone hacked CHC.

Caseys Sex Life said...

I've been around the block a few times, Broward. In fact, the least thing in the universe that I am concerned about is whether the moderators at CHC are "forgiving" or not. And so far you are the only one that has brought up hacking - has The Dude accused anyone of that, or are you just trying to get some attention for yourself?

Unknown said...

Perhaps I can help:

1) Mark and Casey did NOT sign the agreement in the presence of a judge or master. The agreement was not provided to the Master at the time the adjournment was ordered.

2) TRO's are often ordered on an ex-parte basis because they are TEMPORARY until the respondent can provide materials to the court (within 20 days). Mark's TRO and immediate request for relief from the court was REFUSED and set over to the 20th for a judge to consider evidence from Casey. Mark's evidence (if you want to call it that) was not enough to convince anyone that he required an immediate order. I do believe if Serin appeared and filed a TRO with Mark's audio and statements that the Master/Judge would have granted Serin a TRO.

3) Mark failed to appear for his "urgent" motion requesting to move up the hearing. There does not appear to be any materials in the record to indicate that Mark has filed any further materials. He is wasting the courts time.

4) Mark was very quiet when it was a possibility that Serin was gaining support and could retain counsel. Stupidly, Serin did not at the time.

5) If Mark's agreement and motion/action was valid, he would not settle at this time.

6) Mark sued Marty. Mark must have consent from Marty to dismiss or settle his action against Marty. The court record does not show he received consent.

7) Mark has a significant history of posting on other blogs with his own name with the same sort of nonsense we've seen here. I don't believe he has any reputation that could be damaged by Serin - anyone with Google can view enough of his prior garbage "liable, whom, caselaw from WW II".

8) Mark has nothing to do with Serin's blog being pulled. It appears Serin is in much "other" trouble that will probably be discussed on his podcast tonight.

Anita Biernow @ 8:41 AM:
”Is that because they removed threads that made you uncomfortable?”

Nooooo, actually not. I’ve always enjoyed a good online relationship with those folks, and the removal of certain material was their choice. But here’s where lots of folk misunderstand, and that is Free Speech rights end when you register on a system like CHC. Users HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT. A BBS management team can practice whatever censorship or restrictions they please. And that cannot and is not actionable, in any way shape or form!

If one doesn’t like the given site rules, they shouldn’t post there.

Caseys Sex Life said...

Unknown said...

Oh, one other thing...

I really laughed about how LMP believes that Google and other ISP's will remove content about Mark's name if ordered by the court because of ICANN - this shows a total lack of understanding about TCP/IP and basic web app layers.

ICANN would not even begin to consider nonsense from LMP and has no authority to remove content from Google or other engines.

If LMP wanted _his_ info and caches removed from Google then he could always initiate an action against them. He, of course, would be pwned within hours of serving papers on their counsel.

Funny how he believes that an order from a Sacramento Court would convince Google to begin "rm *.* /r" on their servers.

Google has been faced with this in the past... and they fire back HARD on any subpeonas and Orders.

I guess Mark has to live with the fact that, like Casey, he used his own name to destroy his own reputation (CreditDefense, etc...)

Casey's Sex Life raises a good question.

Why are we here? What are the true reason(s) for our existence? Was the Universe created for us or are we just some kind of "accident" within a much larger scheme, the contours of which we cannot see, but may still want to think about?

This is one of the most fundamental questions of humanity and one to which there are many attempted answers, and even more opinions! It is a central subject of philosophy and religion and it is one where there are very many diverging beliefs.

To begin, we have to define where "here" is.

Besides, do you really think there is one google database? Does anyone here think a robots dot txt file stops engines from looking? You don't think it is necessary to mantain an unadulterated reference database before applying their "magic?"

I realized your question was actually an anagram. "Why are you here" was actually you way of saying, "hey you rare hue". Hue...hue...what could that mean? Using my 3rd grade education (I'm still working on my Alabama Master's degree for grade 4), I google'd hue and got "make or shape as with an axe".

You are really telling Mark that his movements in life are that of a "rare hue". He is carving his own way and taking the path less traveled. You really are a sweet one aren't ya?

I agree, "hey you rare hue".

Nobody gets it because they are blinded by an irrational hatred of Mark. Funny, I don't remember Mark being the guy who bilked the system for 2.2 million. I especially don't remember Mark starting a blog to thumb his nose at the system while looking for more questionable deals.

Those who hate Mark have that right, but those people who hate the guy always have to remind us how much they hate Casey's crimes, too. I just wonder why some spend more time ripping on him when it's Casey that is the problem.

Gaming the Credit System said...

@ David 9:06

Google to begin "rm *.* /r" on their servers

If you're gonna pretend to be all computer-geeky, at least get your syntax right.

*.* - unnecessary on UNIX; * is what you need to get everything (files do not necessarily contain a period like in Windows/DOS)

/r - UNIX uses hyphens, not slashes for its command line switch. A slash indicates a directory. The way you gave it, the shell would simply try to delete a directory called "r" after it deleted all files with a period in them within the working directory.

Lastly, you got your order wrong: UNIX places switches/parameters before arguments, so * would go at the end, -r in the middle. Also, you probably would want to thrown an "f" in there too just for convenience.

So the final command would be rm -rf *

If you get this VERY basic stuff wrong, I have absolutely no confidence that you know anything about TCP/IP or "basic web app layers". In fact, I don't see how TCP/IP is related to this discussion at all, and also you betray that you don't know much about "basic web app layers" by thinking that Google would just be able to delete files on their servers to make references to Mark Villaseñor go away from their cached pages.

Irrational hatred I could understand. This more like sharks biting each other when the carcass gets stripped. They got all this pent up emotion and no place to direct it. It passes its expiration date and gets dumped on the nearest target. It has hapened to me as you all may recall.

Yes, the backwash from CH.C was obvious, hopefully with that outlet restored we can resume the usual demeanor of EN. Have I got some masive dirt on the Riverpark project and their implosion! Goodness abounds for those with patience.

Regardless of how you feel about the major players in this lawsuit (Casey or LossMitPro), below are the facts that have been confirmed by more than one source:

1. The result of the first Ex Parte hearing was an agreement between Mark and Casey to settle the lawsuit.

2. The settlement was drawn up with terms that included paying Mark's actual expenses ($1500 and change) and selling IAFF with the proceeds from that sale going into escrow to be used for the sole purpose of paying Galina's credit debt. What else was included in that agreement is largely irrelevant, but it is not disputed that both parties agreed to the settlement and signed it.

At that point, it really doesn't matter what Casey's lawyer or the judge say about it (unless it was an illegal contract because of lack of consideration, incompetent parties (debateable), etc.), the contract is still valid.

All of this blind rage towards Mark is unfounded. Regardless of his motives or methods, the end result of the lawsuit was another contract that Snowflake is trying to weasel out from under. The difference this time is that Mark is going to make sure that the terms of the contract are enforced by the courts unlike Casey's previous verbal (Duane, mentors, Chris Record) and written (PRLinkBiz, Galina) contracts.

"If you get this VERY basic stuff wrong, I have absolutely no confidence that you know anything about TCP/IP or "basic web app layers". In fact, I don't see how TCP/IP is related to this discussion at all, and also you betray that you don't know much about "basic web app layers" by thinking that Google would just be able to delete files on their servers to make references to Mark Villaseñor go away from their cached pages."


I was using that as a common metaphor to remove references. I understand they could just remove text and index references from their POSTGRESQL databases or remove offending references.

I am an EE, not a Linux guy however I have used Linux before (years ago) - but usually use Windows now.

I remembered rm -r (/r my typo) as a programmer in my Systems dept used it years ago that caused us no end of hell until he left. And he'd often execute it from root.

I _DO_ understand IP and apps well as I have designed a 10BaseT ethernet card before (and stack). Mark seems to believe ICANN can remove the content because of their authority and location - they can't.

I am not going to begin to explain how Google would remove content from their servers - quite honestly, I don't know how they clustered and stored data on 1000's of computers to distribute it. I do know they use a customer version of Ubuntu and Linux on their servers and believe they are using POSTGRESQL.

He withdrew the TRO after the settlement was signed because the TRO/suit was unnecessary if the dispute had been resolved.

[LMP] Why did you withdrawl the TRO?


Because there was a binding settlement between the parties. The court hates to have its time wasted. A TRO hearing on a settled matter would piss off the judge. Of course, now the judge is going to be royally pissed off at Casey if this comes back before him.

I want everyone to take a step back. Ask yourself how long it would take for Casey on the witness stand to:

1. Contradict himself.
2. Get hit with contempt.
3. Perjury.
4. Criminal referal.
5. 72 evaluation period.
6. Summary judgement.

IANAL and don't play one on the web. Still I could elicit all those in less than 15 minutes of questioning. I know it and Casey knows it that if he ever opens his mouth in a court of law he will not walk free for years at least. And now he is also aware that he is tagged a flight risk and won't make bail. Sadly I think we all know thtat Casey in the general lockup is going to receive cell block justice that none of us wants. Hep "C," AIDS, all that.

Not that I don’t appreciate your take, it’s mostly accurate. And while I shouldn’t comment on particulars, it’s enough to say that sometimes a give and take accomplishes far more than immediately meets the eye. Having said that, my litigation objectives are still met even with this revised understanding Casey exposed.

And THAT (litigation objectives) are what most folks who hate on me don’t get, there are definitive aims behind what I’ve done and what I’ll be doing shortly.

He went from calling in on the podcast, to posting that he was about to unload on flippers to posting he talked to Casey, to being quiet. Then Casey goes from saying he just wants to be done with Marty, to saying he's the most reasonable.

@David 9:49AM

That's cool that you have a very good grasp of TCP/IP and the network stack. If what you say is true, your knowledge in that area is certainly better than mine. But I still have no idea what relevance it has to the subject at hand. Also, building a network stack doesn't tell you much about modern web apps.

Google uses a hybrid filesystem/database called GoogleFS that breaks data into "chunks" and copies them to multiple individual servers. These are indexed in a proprietary and extremely high-performance manner. I believe that currently, none of Google's software is "off-the-shelf". Everything from the Linux kernel to the filesystem to the indexing system is highly modified and/or written from scratch. In 2003, they were using a Linux based on the Red Hat distribution. There's no reason why Google would use Ubuntu on its servers. Ubuntu is a "dumbed down" version of Debian. And while they probably do use PostgreSQL *somewhere* in their systems, I doubt it's for the main indexing system.

On to other things.... ICANN obviously has no power to make Google do anything. However, Google has shown itself to be willing to remove content based on legally specious claims (although I don't know of any U.S. cases that have been adjudicated -- the current Viacom lawsuit will be very interesting to watch). E.g. in 2002 Google removed websites critical of Scientology.

http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2002/03/51233

Anyway, this whole debate is getting too long and really it's pretty pointless, but your initial comment "I really laughed about how LMP believes that Google and other ISP's will remove content about Mark's name if ordered by the court because of ICANN - this shows a total lack of understanding about TCP/IP and basic web app layers" was just facile, pure and simple, and I had to call you out on it. I am still trying to figure out what TCP/IP and the OSI 7-layer model could possibly have to do with Google indexing content.

Lastly, I really wonder who is telling the truth here between Mark and Casey. At this point, they are both calling each other liars. While I do consider Casey to be in the wrong for breaking his agreement (whether it was a legally enforcable contractt or not), I also have to agree that Mark is basically being a bully based on what I've heard come out of his mouth various podcasts.

I really do believe he has the potential to dig out of his hole and meet his goals. With that in mind I'm considering giving him a large donation. 6 figures. I think spaced out over the next year to make sure he has an incentive to follow through. Not to mention keep us all entertained. I've made out good in tech over the years and have more money than I could ever spend anyway. So no big deal. I'm considering all the logistics now and expect to make it before his deadline. There might be a few minor strings attached but nothing he probably would like to do anyway. Like paying off debts, etc. I just want him to mostly keep doing what he does.

US mortgage crisis could cost lenders $100bn, says Fed chief


· Once top-rated bonds slashed to junk status
· Default rates among low earners rising rapidly

Larry Elliott and Philip Inman
Friday July 20, 2007
The Guardian


Losses from the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States could reach $100bn (£50bn), the US Federal Reserve warned yesterday.
Giving evidence to the Senate, the Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke stressed that there would be a hefty cost of clearing up the bad debts resulting from the downturn in the US property market.

"The credit losses associated with subprime have come to light and they are fairly significant. Some estimates are in the order of between $50bn and $100bn of losses associated with sub-prime credit products," Mr Bernanke told a Senate banking committee hearing.

"The credit rating agencies have begun to make sure they account for those losses and they have downgraded some of these products," he said.
As Mr Bernanke was speaking, the ratings agency Standard & Poor's slashed some previously top-rated mortgage bonds to junk status, blaming the continued decline of the US housing market and bad lending practices.

Lowering its assessment on 418 classes of bonds worth $3.8bn, the credit rating agency said losses on so-called piggyback loans - second mortgages to fill in where the first provider does not loan the full value of the home - would "significantly exceed historical precedent" and "its initial assumptions".

Figures out earlier this week showed no let-up in the decline in the US housing market, where rising interest rates have pricked the real estate bubble of two years ago. Construction activity has declined as builders seek to rid themselves of unsold properties while default rates among low-income borrowers have been rising rapidly.

Mr Bernanke said this week that defaults and repossessions were likely to get worse before they got better. With inflation higher than the Fed would like, he has offered little prospect of an early cut in interest rates to ease the pressure.

Shares in New York shrugged off Mr Bernanke's warning, but the dollar fell back. The pound was trading at higher than $2.05, slightly below its 26-year peak reached earlier in the week.

In a second day of testimony to Congress on the health of the economy, the Fed chairman said the central bank would seek to prevent a recurrence of the questionable lending practices used by financial companies to persuade those on low incomes to take out home loans.

The central bank was now considering a range of changes to mortgage lending rules in the wake of the sub-prime lending crisis, including better disclosure requirements and limits on prepayment penalties, he said.

Investment bank Bear Stearns admitted this week that one of its hedge funds was worthless after it invested in US sub-prime mortgages. Another fund was "virtually worthless". Goldman Sachs has also cut the value of derivatives known as collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) that included large holdings of sub-prime mortgages.

The revelations have spooked banks in Europe and the US which are believed to hold some $1.5 trillion in CDOs. There are fears that action by Mr Bernanke and the ratings agencies will prove too little too late and be unable to prevent further hedge fund collapses.

Bankers were yesterday talking about the difficulties of raising funds on the debt markets as nervousness among lenders caused the flow of money to start drying up. A collapse in confidence could bring with it a wide-scale collapse in the value of CDOs, some argued.

Man Group, the world's largest listed hedge fund, was forced yesterday to cut the value of its broking division by a quarter before its planned flotation next week, amid fears of a deepening crisis in debt markets.

The group had hoped to raise £2bn but was forced to settle for nearer £1.5bn from the share sale after investors were unwilling to support the higher valuation.

Problems in the debt markets will also throw the spotlight on private equity firms and their attempts to raise funds for major buyouts. Several large buyouts, including the £11bn deal for Alliance Boots, are currently seeking support in the debt markets.

Some analysts said they feared a broader credit crunch if a collapse in confidence in the US mortgage market rippled out to other parts of the debt markets.

Does anyone here think a robots dot txt file stops engines from looking? You don't think it is necessary to mantain an unadulterated reference database before applying their "magic?"


If Google or any other site ignores the robots.txt file then it shows up in the site's logs. It's very apparent and easy to find.

The format of the robots.txt file is not a standard and people frequently misconfigure them. Search engine spiders also screw up sometimes. Mistakes happen. However, Google doesn't try to get around robots.txt restrictions on purpose because it's bad for business. It gives the search engine a bad reputation if it continually does things like that.

At least try to have a vague understanding of the subject before you go spouting off next time. Better yet, stick to posting about the evils of illegal immigrants and DEM DAMN LIBBIES AND DAT DERE GLOBAL WARMING. You'll feel much more at home.

Ben needs to add a few zeros to that estimate. Once the Alt-A portion of the problem begins to pick up steam, it will make the subprime problem seem tiny by comparison.

>> US mortgage crisis could cost lenders $100bn, says Fed chief

Ben left off at least 1, and likely 2 zeros. Remember, the S+L crisis cost $200-300 billion in late 80's fiat. Adjusted for inflation, it would be $500 billion.

This is at least an order of magnitude worse. So, I guess $3-5 TRILLION. Of course, most of that will be handled by the printing press.

Rob Dawg said...

Tom,
I'd call a few extra zeroes ($10 trillion) a bullet graze and count ourselves lucky. The US residential housing market is probably $7t out of whack by itself. That's like $80k for every house. I'll do my part. My house is going to loose at least 5 times that much.

If this can be contained to reversion to mean on asset pricing and some nasty inflation I'd be surprised.

And there's also the fact that Mark Villaseñor's legal influence presumably doesn't extend outside the US - and the Casey saga has been international pretty much from the get-go.

I'm not a US citizen and I last set foot on American soil in the mid-1990s. Speaking purely hypothetically (*), what exactly could Mark do to me if I decided to post entirely accurate and evidence-backed information about him on a non-American website?

(*) This bit is entirely true - I don't actually have any interest in doing this, largely because I can't be bothered. But I am intrigued to know just how far it's possible to throw one's legal weight around on a genuinely international playing field.

It does not - at least not in Canada. If anyone overseas launched a web site about him there would be nothing he could do.

Follow-up to yesterday, re: cacheing IAFF.

*If* KC is using wp-cache, all cached files should be located here:

http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/wp-content/cache/

Problems:

a) the directory is protected, so I can't poke around in there

b) the plugin includes dummy "index.php" files in the cache directory, so you need the exact filename to find anything

c) each actual cache filename is randomly generated. If you'd like to see the function, Google "wp-cache" and take a peek (it's all open-source). I tried to paste it, but Blogger choked.

If you knew the filename, you could access the cache remotely. For example:

http://zaphodforpresident.com/wp-content/cache/wp-cache-bf161fbdab2676c6ddfc8a4c8f84239e.html

However, standard plugin settings dictate that each cache copy is replaced after 3600 seconds (every hour). Therefore, the odds are that all the good stuff has long since been cleared from the cache (i.e. old posts about Mark, etc).

However, as you can see, the entire page contents are dumped into an unprotected HTML file. The blacklist REGEX function only runs each time a new cache copy is created, after which we are all puling simple HTML.

This, of course, assumes that KC is using common sense, and has taken 15 minutes to implement a totally free plugin. It is very possible he has "tweaked" the cache plugin, which is why the posts occasionally show up as blank pages. I have no idea why he would do this.

Another reason I think IAFF is using wp-cache; MySQL usually starts bugging out around 25 consecutive users. i.e. the "slashdot effect". With so much traffic, I expect caching is routine. Even my dinky blog uses cacheing, to handle the occasional flood from digg.

I hope this was informative. I now return you to your regularly scheduled hating.

Follow-up to myself:

1. I use the word "however" a lot.

2. http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/wp-login.php

3. One major security flaw with WordPress is that it allows you unlimited attempts to login. Most systems ban you after 3 failed attempts- either by a browser cookie [dumb] or by IP address [smart].

4. If someone were so inclined, they might run a brute-force cracker and gain admin access to the blog. The default username is "admin", and I doubt KC took the 15 mintes to change it.

5. Don't get *too* excited; even if you cracked the blog, I would expect KC has already made backups of everything. Then again, maybe not.

6. The admin password is stored as an MD5 hash in the wp_users table of the MySQL db. If you were to change the admin password, and KC did NOT back up the MySQL database, it might take him awhile to figure out how to reclaim ownership of his blog.

7. This config file:

http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/wp-config.php

...contains all the necessary MySQL credentials to bypass WordPress entirely, and get directly to the database.

8. If you are looking for his theme, not content, that can be found here:

http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/wp-content/themes/PressRow/

You will see run-time errors because the PHP is not coded to be accessed this way.

The CSS is right here:

http://iamfacingforeclosure.com/wp-content/themes/PressRow/style.css

You can easily get that without cracking anything.

9. If you *really* wanted to cause casey grief, I suggest skipping WordPress and FTP access, and going right for his webhost admin panel. He'll be able to straighten it out after a while, but you can cause some real headaches in there (delete backups, change FTP & MySQL creds, mess with DNS settings, etc).

10. I would NEVER advocate hacking a website, especially one belonging to such an upstanding member of society. I will be *really disappointed* if I find a the goatse image on IAFF later tonight.

Behave, you wacky haterz.

I'd bet Casey's password is dopey and self-affirming: "richdad4ever" or "passive5kincome" or something like that.

For anyone who is curious:

The user "admin" with email address "casey@serin.us" does not exist on IAFF. He's either using another email address, or another username.

I'm going to stop now, before LMP and the FBI show up at *my* door.

Ho Ho Ho - It's Santa Flipper Clause

He wants an official song for the website. Santa suggests:

"I'm a loser (looser?)" - beatles
"I can't get no satisfaction" - stones
"We don't need no (know?) education" - floyd

We don't need no documentation
We don't need no income at all
No verification of the loan form

Hey! Lenders! Leave them flips alone!

I think I am going to leave work early. Capitol Garage is 2 miles out of my way. I think I'll stop by say hi to casey.

anybody have anything they wish to convey to casey?

lawnmower man said...

Ask him what his conflicting appointment is.

Unknown said...

Tell Casey to wish Chris Record a happy 29th birthday. It's today. :-)

”...don't try telling us it wasn't unintentional. :-)”

Actually, it WAS unintentional. But now that you mention it, perhaps I could say the CREST of your comment brought a GLEEM to the sparkling CLOSE-UP of smiles?

Fack,

Ask him where all this money is coming from? I thought any monies made were supposed to "help" his wife and family.

Ask him why he's hanging around NRU.

Ask him if he plans to go to college because the job market won't be friendly to a heavily indebted doofus who can't make proper decisions, has no common sense and won't find shinola without a certificate at least.

If you are making a list:

Ask Casey WHY he has tried, repeately, to take CaseyPedia and CaseyHaterz down.

Casey has thumbed his finger at his "haters" saying "Thank You" for bringing him so much media attention, which is a good thing according to Casey.

So which one is it Casey? Why try to take down that which you seek?

Rob Dawg said...

I second Dolph.

Casey, how is it you had $1500 cash as a retainer for a lawyer but less than nothing for your wife? Have you or have you not left her with more debt now than when you left for Australia?

He has?

(Casey reportedly has a caseyhaterz.com account; username unknown.)

The Researcher said...

Researcher sez: ”LMP, in other words, is trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube."

Mark replies: "thanks for the best wishes, but that’s not my aim."

That ranks up there as the funniest unintentional pun I've ever seen. And don't try telling us it wasn't unintentional. :-)


I gotta admit, that was very funny, LMP. Put it in your family crest there :)
