Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.<BR/><BR/>1) Casey borrowed $4500 to buy the shell corporation, and the corp. loaned him the money to pay it back.<BR/><BR/>2) Casey borrowed about $5000 from the corp. to catch up on his rent and go to Tahoe or whatever he did. (So he's in debt to the corporation for 9 or 10 thousand.)<BR/><BR/>3) He of course doesn't owe anything on the foreclosed properties -- <I>except tax</I>, as the difference between what the bank gets for the forclosure sales vs. the outstanding mortgage amount is reported as income. A rough guess would be that he owes tax on half a million dollars, a rather high tax bracket. Income averaging could reduce the lump-sum amount but not the total liability. Bankruptcy is no help with the IRS stirring the pot.<BR/><BR/>4) He owes something like $170,000 in other unsecured credit, like cards. I assume this includes the $24,000 or whatever Galina's cards add up to.<BR/><BR/>5) Many of said debts are at rather stiffish interest rates.<BR/><BR/>6) He has a $22,000 balloon payment due in a few days.<BR/><BR/>Some swift back-of-the-envelope mental arithmetic puts his current liability at around a quarter million bucks. As my old boss used to say, "That's a lot of martinis."<BR/><BR/>So am I seriously off base here, or is this sort of kind of approximately in the vicinity of the ballpark?<BR/><BR/>In any event, he clearly needs more credit so he can borrow his way out of this mess. Yes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-90946138213412405902007-05-17T20:10:00.000-07:002007-05-17T20:10:00.000-07:00Another Casey beg-a-thon--I wonder if he'll be abl...Another Casey beg-a-thon--I wonder if he'll be able to match the same amount raised as the last time.<BR/><BR/>To the Haterz--I don't recommend your posting there anymore.

For those of you needing a ...Hi Guys - Annie here. <BR/><BR/>For those of you needing a refresher, I started offered Casey $250 at the last beg-a-thon provided he answer honestly all questions asked. As we all know, he didn't answer all questions nor live up to other conditions of the offer. In addition, I had a little buyers remorse - I'd had a little too much wine (not to mention, a little medical marijuana) when I made my pledge. <BR/><BR/>The money I made the pledge with was coming from a tax refund. I had earmarked that money for a new windshield. Well, turns out I got a little more than anticipated.... so I do have a new windshield PLUS I made a $250 donation to the new a new Breast Care Center that will be opening in my community. My donation is in honor of a good friend who died just over 30 months ago. <BR/><BR/>I really did face an ethical crossroads regarding paying Casey at the last beg-a-thon... however, after we all learned that he LIED about his "consulting" earnings going to his past due rent payment and that the $$ from his earnings (not to mention the excess beg-a-thon funds) disappeared (i.e., a little vacation for him and Galina) I feel okay about my decision not to pay Casey. <BR/><BR/>I think I am one of the few people who has turned the table on Casey... At the time of the pledge I really did "intend" to pay him.... <BR/><BR/>I know T had a tough time that weekend too. I hope she is doing well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-76658374354763647112007-05-17T19:28:00.000-07:002007-05-17T19:28:00.000-07:00I'd rather see Casey out of the closet than cross-...I'd rather see Casey out of the closet than cross-eyed G in her underpants.Akubihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214321836465499032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-19098753523308304132007-05-17T19:14:00.000-07:002007-05-17T19:14:00.000-07:00If this Beg-A-Thon is for real, at the end of it, ...If this Beg-A-Thon is for real, at the end of it, either Casey had better be out of the closet, or Galina had better be in her underpants.
