I was going to title this "Nigel Grows a Pair" but...
I'm wondering if maybe some Haterz tracked down the address or maybe even a phone call from law enforcement or family put the fear in Nigel and his SO. Talk amongst yourselves will I get the story.

Camping is not so bad, ask Casey.
oh yeah, First suckers..

One thing comes to mind:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Casey is learning firsthand how it feels to be on the underside of the bus. Maybe his view of OPM will change when he's the one being used, but I doubt it.
And to think, Nigel expected him to go home on a bus! I hope he has room in his bag for all the Whole Foods veggies he crammed in Nigel's fridge...
Curse you again, H Simpson, for your firstness!
I think Snowflake borrowed the vehicle to cruise bars and pick up women. Nothing impresses a woman more than an SUV loaded with a washing machine. It shows that the guy is already domesticated.
I wonder if he'll blog/twitter from cafes across the West as he thumbs home? Or is sticking a thumb up in the air too much work?
NR
I've looked at the Sacto Craigslist and there are some sweeet drive/live rolling mini-mansions for cheap. One with only 240,000 miles but $450 and a 1978 Dodge that I swear looks exactly like the room at his parents house he got tossed out of.
I wonder if "Don't Hate Casey" will be undergoing a name change?
By the way, Dawg, I like the portrait. Did you have to go for the complete Brazilian? Jeez, that must have hurt.
NR
PS I honestly hope that Casey makes a fortune out of Goldspring, not so much for him (couldn't care less) but I hate to think of his parents wiped out by his stupidity. Hopefully they'll get something back.
I got the total brazilian in May for my operation. They didn't know how many feet of vein and artery they'd need so they razored me from tusk to flippers. I've just kept up appearances since. ;-)
I disagree about our little gold bug. Nothing emboldens abbarent behavior like reinforcement. He needs to fail big and fail now. Any taste of success and he'll do what he did in real estate; double down until imploding.
Think about it. That's what he just did with Nigel. His whole life is testing anything to failure. Remember the Porsche driving school? All his cars for that matter. His whole life in one sentence. "Give it to Casey; he'll break it."
You know, he might have a career in testing.
Except for, you know, the part where we have to document our procedures, generate reports, act responsibly...
OK, nevermind.

looking for comment on this ACORN thing. Need to be brought up to speed. Any chance a post on that?
"I worked hard first 2-3 days but yesterday (Tuesday) I got overwhelmed and didn’t do very much in the morning. Instead I did some brainstorming and worked some on the ebook."
He hasn't learned yet that you can "brainstorm" (or brain drizzle in his case) very well while doing physical work at the same time.
He also hasn't learned that if he's staying gratis at someone's home, in his situation, it is in his best interest to do whatever work is requested of him for as many days as it takes.
The executive summary for those who haven't been paying close attention
Nigel, BTC, and WWTF flew Casey out to SLC for a haterzcast and to have somm fun.
Nigel extended the stay offering a place to stay in exchange for labor helping him move and setup.
On first day of labor (working with Nigel) Casey did ok.
On the second day, Nigel had to go to his W2 looser job, so he left a todo list for Casey. Casey slept out, went jogging and pissed away the day.
Nigel came home found what Casey di and gave Casey a lecture.
On the third day, while Nigel was at work, Casey got flustered so he spent the afternoon drinking mint tea and relaxing.
Nigel came home. He threatened to send Casey home, but Casey talked him out of it.
On the 4th day, Casey took the car with the washer in it, so Nigel couldn't even hook it up when he came home. Casey got back around 11 pm and found his stuff on the lawn. Nigel took pictures of the event. I expect to see them on DHC soon
@Chuck -- I heard that the failout bill passed by the Senate had something in it related to ACORN but I haven't been able to find any details.
BTW, ACORN might be something Casey would want to look into at some point. They help marginal people or folks with no credit get into fixer-uppers or rent-to-own houses and if he spins his story as his being taken advantage of by greedy banks he'll be a hero among them.
He might also look into some communal living arrangement, but unfortunately physical labor is often expected in those places. I don't see him as homesteader material.
Dawg,
I know what you're saying about KC and how he has to learn the hard way. But think of it from a parent's perspective: KC may not be capable of learning such a fundamental thing even if it's done the hard way. At the moment, kicked out of the old homestead, he may very well choose to go homeless. Can he survive on the streets of downtown LA (substitute any generic city for LA)? He's having trouble surviving outside Nigel's new home in the suburbs. It has to be very difficult for his parents and there is no obvious good way to proceed for them. Ah well, 'nuff said. I'll get back to worrying over my own family.

NR,
I was thinking about Casey's parents being the ones that need to learn. $60k gross exposure even, while severe is still far less pain than what Casey is capable of inflicting. If they can chose an opportune exit I estimate they could get $40-45k of that back. Was worth $56k this morning, now $47k.
I've given up on Casey ever learning.
Nigel didn't grow a pair, his GF did. I'm thinking she's the one who tossed out loser-boy.
BTW: Any independant verification that this isn't just an elaborate troll? Timing would be right for a staged fight to spice things up for CS. That this comes complete with pictures just seems too much.
Can't be a troll. Lacks the usual set up Casey uses for trolls. Besides, WWTF would have to be in on it. No way.
Nigel's side
Once his sweet corporate credit runs out, and his family won't have him back, he will apply for welfare and food stamps. Are most of the products at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's eligible for food stamps?
Nigel has learned that when you enlist manual labourers off the Internet, you are bound to wind up with a few lemons.

Coming soon...Casey's next book.
Life as a Prison "Bitch".
Casey is at the SLC library waiting for a bus. You can't make this sh¡t up.
Not a troll.
I talked to Casey while he was at the library; he's now waiting at a coffeehouse / restaurant (with wifi!) until it's time to catch the 10:30 PM bus to Sac. Nigel met up with him earlier and turned over some personal items that didn't get put on the porch (including the White Tie of Fail), plus some cash. Casey was planning to walk to the bus station but I'll call and offer him a ride, it's not far from here.
WWTF!
Sweet! It is about time KC takes a bus.
Amazingly enough, those who save their money take them on a regular basis.
Heck, I take the bus all the time and I'm just a fat walrus. Okay, it is a cushy tour bus with reclining seats and it takes me to my $60 concert seat in the Hollywood Bowl but it is a bus. ;-)
WWTF, good on ya. Keep us informed.
Nigel is an asshole, there is no getting around that. Look at what he did to you, Rob. I just hope that he get's married to that raving lunatic of a girlfriend. They deserve each other for all time.
It's like some twisted love triangle -- the jealous, possessive control freak witch wasn't about to let any competition in her new house!!
con - by "her" do you mean Nigel, the unnamed girlfriend or Casey?
Did Arnold send a message to Mexico begging for a loan too?
That is where all his state's money went...
