Nigel See Nigel
Worse than derivative; sanitized and unoriginal. it ain't even a blog, it is more a narcacistic mirror of distortion. Internet masturbation with someone he loves. I tried a few posts but nothing sticks. Bored after a day. I won't waste my time, instead i'll get the forums based dawg pound up and running right away. If you see some bad clicks or funny code on the blog page this is why.

First LOOSERS!
Hey guys,
If you all can find the foreclosure notices online for casey's properties, I am editing his wiki and sourcing those notices
You still gots the moves, Tony.
Having no idea which of the top 5 threads I should post this to, I'll choose the newest one so this doesn't get buried:
Just posted this at IAFF:
From reading others' Cashcall experiences, they consider anything to be physically located at the deadbeat's address of record to be ripe for the taking.
Man, is the sis-in-law going to be PO'd when Cashcall starts carrying her couch, TV, microwave, stereo away.
Does Cashcall employ mercenaries?
I'd do it myself, but I sort of like living in Russia.
Therefore, I nominate T or DAt Clown to volunteer.
The college editor can't be for real, can he?!?
It would be like someone stumbling into a diamond mine, tripping on a huge diamond, and cracking their head on another ginormous one as they fall, then saying "hey, y'all, could someone tell me if there are any diamonds in this part of the country?"!
Maybe he'd like someone to write the article for him?
Thoughts from Casey's talk the other night:
- He is really a pretty slick talker for a 24-year old. All BS, but it flows pretty well for one so young. Good future as a con man, once he finds the right target market.
- He lies so much and so easily. Not convincingly for the discerning ear, but a large % of the populace aren't very discerning.
- I think his target market is something like driveway paving for the elderly, or selling fake watches out of the trunk of the Jetta.
@Endgame Obvserver
I think you pegged that exactly. There is TOO much information here and the Wiki article is way too basic. He wants hater bullet points.
Tom Wolfe describes it like "the Fool-Killer set loose upon the State Fair". Spoiled for so much choice, the Fool-Killer shrugs his shoulders, drops his shilleaugh and goes home.
@Endgame obsverver
The BS comes as easily as it does because he believes it. He knows what he did was shady but has told himself since last year that he made a "mistake".
Pretty much all of his lies are based on HIS version of the truth, which I believe he actually buys into. There's no other way it could come as easily. And as far as most people having a discerning ear for lying - many get used to hearing lies and since everyone's existence depends on a certain level of denial, most of us turn a blind eye.
@Endgame - or others - where are there cashcall horror stories? They sound like good readin'...
I don't know but when I googled "cashcall horror stories" IAFF came up as #6.
Sweet?
Either he will be a great scam artist, or he'll crash and burn, taking several other people out with him when he snaps.
@Endgame observer
Everything he says is canned and requires no thought on his part. He has developed these mental cards that he pulls out and recites them on demand.
He cannot allow himself to fail or admit to himself that there is any other reality to his situation than what he has conjured up. And he uses what he's come up with to protect him. Notice how he came up with the artificial division of business losses and personal losses. He absolved himself of failure by transferring the responsibility to a "business." When it is pointed out that this is nonsense he goes into denial mode because that is the only mental capacity he has to deal with things that get to this point.
He justifies his crimes by saying there was no criminal intent or pleads ignorance.
If he were to allow himself to see the reality that we all see he would have a nervous breakdown of epic proportions. I think we started to see the beginnings of that on Wednesday night.
It is interesting to watch as the lies he tells everybody start to fall apart. With a record of three foreclosures on the books and hundreds of thousands of other debt that he cannot pay he's still worried about his credit rating. He is completely delusional and irrational.
I don't think Wiki will ever be able to fully capture this story.
Whatever happened to Brian?
Remember the "hot" realtor who asked him to take down her picture, later her name, later her link & then finally "her assistant was too busy to return his calls" or something like that?" What a zoo.
He justifies his crimes by saying there was no criminal intent or pleads ignorance
Apparently, no one ever told him that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
I don't know how it works for my neighbours to the south, but when I signed for my mortgage, I had to sign a statement saying that the information I provided, was, to the best of my knowledge, true.
Oh and then they checked everything.

Some stories there.
Slightly off topic but hilarious:
On Rich Dad Underground Blog, they post a video about creative financing. The example of an extraordinary deal gets busted by the YouTube crowd and someone posts the comments on RDU.
http://workingwithrichdad.blogspot.com/index.html
When I read the comments I chocked with laughter.....enjoy
Ok, I just posted this at Nigel's love-in-on-Casey blog and he's probably going to delete it:
Yes, Casey doesn't have any credibility when it comes to getting out of foreclosure, but he does have the experience of getting into foreclosure and trying to navigate the sea of incoming mail.
The thing is, "navigating the sea of incoming mail" is not as difficult as Casey makes it out to be. On a daily basis, all it takes is 5 easy steps:
Step 1: go to the mailbox
Step 2: remove mail and close mailbox
Step 3: remove flyers from mail and trash/recycle
Step 4: open mail, throw out envelopes/inserts
Step 5: go through mail piece by piece and pay some bills.
Even with piles of mail, I doubt that it would take more than an hour a day to go through the mail.
________________________________
Look! five easy steps to managing your mail! Next up: how to pay bills either by cheque, at the bank or online.
Of course, the choice of methods may be too much for these two to handle.

When Cashcall comes calling for stuff to haul out of the sis in law's place she'd better have receipts. The law allows a creditor who has been given a judgement to come in and repo property to take ANYTHING of value regardless of WHO lives there. The only recourse is to have receipts in the name of the person who does not have the judgement.
My guess is sis in law does not have receipts, so good bye to all her crap!
With KC's latest call, there's also some deliberate 'blame-shifting' going on.
When pinned down with the question of how much he claimed as his income, he answered with "I really don't know, I guess I could pull the papers and look it up... the mortgage lenders came up with the numbers required to get the loan. And those numbers were in line with my profession at the time."
This first comment to shift blame to the lender. KC a victim of an innocent who just signed paperwork that he didn't read or understand.
When pointed out that he was unemployed during the bulk of his buying spree, he said: "No, I was a real estate investor, and the money really was coming in. I was just taking it at the beginning, rather than at the final sale of the house."
This second comment, an attempt to paint himself as the victim of the market downturn.
As far as bending reality, both of these explainations are brilliant.
Any idea how long it takes for Cashcall to get a judgement and stop by Yulinas? If I was Casey, I'd start looking for a cheap motel to live in. His Sis-in-law ain't gonna like this one bit.
From reading others' Cashcall experiences, they consider anything to be physically located at the deadbeat's address of record to be ripe for the taking.
No wonder he's always wearing the murse. It contains everything he's most afraid of having taken: his security blanket, PDA, laptop, and $150K in cash.
Casey's traffic peaked in January with 180K visits.
He went down to about 156K in February.
He will be down again in March.
Keep up the work folks!
someone really needs to steal the murse.
Just posted this over on www.my334442debt.com, help me talk some sense into this kid. In his latest post he mentioned Casey...
__________________________________
DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR CASEY!
This is just a friendly PSA.
You effed up but really seem to have your sh*t together now.
You've admitted your mistakes and have talked to your family, Casey just used his to try by offering them a 24% return for investing with him.
You are talking to your lenders and working out payment plans, Casey won't talk to any of his lenders and hasn't paid a penny in MONTHS.
You washed your hands of real estate deals and are MAKING money doing something you've come to like, Casey is trying to find the next sweet deal and lining up "money partners".
You are making sacrifices (i.e. ramen and living in your offic), Casey thinks he deserves Jamba Juice and dinners out.
Good luck and I can already tell you will make it, keep focused and keep working hard,
@ Dimes: I'm not one of those who thinks he is 'clever'. My definition of 'slick talker' is more like Some Guy From Colorado's' 'mental cards'. A bunch of canned, rehearsed BS strung together.
I also believe he's on the low end of normal - somebody has to be out on the left tail of the Bell curve, and he's clearly there.
Casey,
Has removed the reference to Suze Ormoan. Dose that mean he will not be on her show or that he does not want his fans to watch.
Why would anyone semi-sane approach Casey for help right now?
Casey's traffic peaked in January with 180K visits.
He went down to about 156K in February.
February has fewer days than January, so the traffic actually fell from 5,806 visits per day to 5,571.
Granted, it should be increasing, but it's not the calamitous plunge you're implying.
It probably means that his interview with Suze turned out like his webcast so he is going to hide again.
Has removed the reference to Suze Ormoan,
He removed all of the media mentions that were there yesterday. Add to that the fact that he didn't mention the Economist article and refused to talk with the reporter at that college and that really is saying something.
The simple take is that snowflake does not want any more publicity. It could be that the PRBizHags are back in the picture again.
I thought that the Suze thing had not happened yet and that it was going to be a deal where he called into the show. It could very well be the case that he decided to cancel it due to the meltdown in the webcast.
The dance remix of Casey's call-in show is complete. Only download it if you have the patience to listen to a ten-minute dance-oriented track.
It's a 9-meg MP3.
CALL-IN CASEY
The cast is drawn from Wednesday night's callers. T makes her appearance towards the end. She has a real Rhandi Rhodes thing going on.
Hey Casey!
Good news! I've notified a TON of economics blogs about you, including the two most popular ones. Expect more SWEET MEDIA COVERAGE!!!
Maybe he'd like someone to write the article for him?
Exactly. That's the modus operandi of modern journalism. He'll go far in the MSM.
It could be that Suze listened to the fraudcast. I would have LOVED to have seen the look on her face...
What will he do next? Fake his own death and try to flee the country?
@ Casey Fannnnnn
WOW - That 'Dance Mix' is a work of art. Hat's off man.
Outstanding. 4-star. A KC Classic. Congratulations!
It's almost tragicomical. All along the path Snowflake made poor choices. Some illegal, some stupid, some both. It is way too much to expect he has a coffee can in the backyard. It is unreasonable to imagine a "Plan 9 from Outerspace" nevermind a viable Plan B. Fraudsters have a leased 325i and a 4 year old Ford Focus in a self-store paid in advance in cash for two years. They don't have midnight buys Jetta sweet rides.
Look, the guy couldn't function in an environment of loose morals and enforcement at a period of extreme appreciation in a society of tolerance. To turn a phrase; "If he couldn't make it here, he could make it anywhere."
N(igel's) B(log) A(wards) - Craptastic!
@Casey Fannnnnn
AWESOME! "Golf Clap!"
@Casey Fannnnnn
That was an awesome remix! Unlike Casey, you have a real talent that should be marketed. I expect Casey will do the usual and post the remix on his website pretending that he found it floating around on the web, after reading about it here and listening to it.
@Casey Fannnnnn
You made my day!
I can just see a packed courtroom listening to the entire thing...
Is there any way to get the MP3 without installing the MegaUpload spyware?
At 12:03 PM, Dimes said...
Noon anon:
Just type the three letter code in at the top and click download in the box just next to it. Music downloaded, no spyware included.
*thumbup*
Thanks!
@Casey Fannnnnn
Very strong! Excellent work! Actually, come to think of it, I take that back. Instead, I'd like to say that, "It's all good!"
John Reed said he commented on Casey a few months ago
Can anyone linky please?
Fannn,
You've done such a good job that the remix makes me so angry I want to reach through and strangle the nasaly little puke.
@Casey Fannnnnn
Duuuude, it's all good, it's all good! That was a nice pick me up after lunch. Good work!
Casey Fannnnn,
Top shelf my friend. This is better than Max Headroom.
Thanx, everybody. Feel free to pass the MP3 around the web and host it anywhere. Make sure to credit it to "some guy".
Here's another link:
http://www.mytempdir.com/1266621
Casey is not letting a link to the MP3 be posted on his comments section. He stripped it from post #69.
C-Fannn that was awesome.
I missed the live & chat and settled for Miguel's transcripts. I now free completely caught up.
Nice track.
I am hosting it at:

Largely because I was laughing so hard that I need time to recover.
Truly, truly magnificent.
Ahahhhahahaahhaahahaha!
DANCE REMIX!!!!!
Fukkin' great!
Thanks!
CASEY'S BLOG IS TOAST
The link whores have been given free reign over there at IAFFDOTCOM by the "new owner".What a lode of crap the comments have become
THE END IS NEAR
OMG this is HYSTERICAL!
For my money the funniest part of the MP3 is the part where the guy asks, "What is your strategy if you were to go to jail?" and then the baby cries right after that. Truly hilarious stuff!!
Casey Remix - laughing my ass off at work. This is fucking hilarious. Jesus christ..the whole subculture surrounding his site and blog, it's amazing. I really should change my dissertation somehow to study this phenomenon.
Almos tthrew up laughing listening to this mp3. Hilariously great.
5:46 it gets fucking great. That mp3 is awesome!
This is Hillarious..@67 IAFF
NEWS FLASH, MARCH 24, 2010
(FROM THE ECONOMIST MAGAZINE, ISSUE DATED 3/24/2010)
REAL ESTATE GURU CASEY SERIN VOLUNTARILY LEAVES NEVADA; OTHER STATES WARN AGAINST ENTRY
Mr. Casey Serin, who rose to notoriety in 2006 and 2007 as the poster boy for real-estate foreclosures, has been asked by the State of Nevada to leave and not return.
This comes after Mr. Serin was asked to leave Arizona in 2009. Furthermore, in late 2008 Mr. Serin was asked by the authorities in California, his home state, to leave that state and not return.
Mr. Serin, who became infamous after posting a long-running, widely-read blog detailing his investment misadventures, was never convicted of any crime. Rather, the requests to leave each state followed a set of economic circumstances unique in American history.
It seems that wherever Mr. Serin resided, his business efforts caused such economic depression and poverty that the state authorities finally asked him to leave.
In Sacramento, California, where Mr. Serin resided for the longest period, the drop in real estate prices was found to be three times the national average, and four times the average for other areas of California. In addition, unemployment, which averaged 4.6% througout the United States, averaged 11.3% in a 100-mile radius around the residence where Mr. Serin was residing with his in-laws.
The National Assocation of Realtors put the most pressure on state authoritieis to persuade Mr. Serin to leave.
“No one will do any real estate deals within 100 miles of where he lives,” explained Patsy Linkbiz, President of the local NAR branch. “He is toxic to the local economy.” She noted that all real-estate offices within 50 miles of Mr. Serin’s residence has closed in the past two years.
In March of 2008, under pressure from California authorities, Mr. Serin, now single, moved to Phoenix, where he rented a motel room and continued blogging and investing.
By May of 2008, the economy of the greater Phoenix area was in a shambles. Real estate values had plunged over 35%, unemployment had tripled, and businesses were leaving the area.
In June, after a late-night meeting with the local Chambers of Commerce, Mr. Serin voluntarily agreed to leave the state of Arizona. He then moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he rented a double-wide trailer home in a mobile home park located next to the Krazy Kat Gentlemen’s Lounge.
Mr Serin announced, via a live-phone-chat show on his website, that this was “a new beginning” and that he would begin looking for large apartment complexes to purchase in the greater Las Vegas areas.
For a few months, relative calm prevailed, as the United States, and the Las Vegas area, was experiencing a new real estate boom, following the subprime shakeout of 2006-2009.
Then, on March 20, 2010, Mr Serin announced the purchase of 5 large apartment complexes in the greater Las Vegas areas, totalling over 1000 rental units.
Virtually overnight, the Las Vegas economy was now in a shambles. Real estate values plummeted 35%, unemployment tripled, and three major casinos shut down their operations.
On March 23, a group of Las Vegas business executivies, led by the female employees of the Krazy Kat Lounge, held a midnight meeting with Mr. Serin. Details of the meeting have not been released, but according to sources Mr. Serin has now agreed to leave Nevada and never return.
Stated Professor Tim J. Monterey-Bay, noted professor of business at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas,: “There has never been anything like this in economic history. Everywhere this lad went he literally brough economic poverty and chaos.”
Asked to comment, Mr. Serin told The Economist: “It’s all good. I’m just going to keep on making sweet deals.”
Whoever came up with that has GOT to come forward and be recognized for such great work.
To date, the Haterz Hall of Fame includes T and Casey Fannnn
man oh man thats f*ckin funny

And don't forget our Vague Guru and also the guy who came up with the Casey Flow Chart. That shit was funny.
The Hall of fame would be rather large over here. I'd have to add in:
Our host Rob Dawg,
Dat Krazy Kat Homey,
Those steel toed boots of Stephanie's,
Our shoe pooper Sputnik even though he's slipped his collar and is temorarily lost. *makes note to check SPCA in am*,
And a special nomination goes out to Ogg since Ogg know better than Casey and Ogg only a caveman.
We'll look back on this as the high point of hater culture. It can't get any better.
All downhill now.
Whatever happened to "Flow Chart" guy? We could use another....the original is truly a work of art.
Agree with the add'l HHOF members.....the list continues to grow as Snowflake provides more ammunition.
I just finished listening to the Podcast/Webtalk..whatever..and laughed my ass off. Remind me never to get questioned by T :)
Clotpoll, you might be right. But I've thought we'd jumped the shark before. Even before the homeless guy I thought it was winding down. Certainly the pace is feverish now... I was proud of the kudos for deconstructing Nigel... my fame lasted exactly 24 hours, only to be upstaged by THE ECONOMIST. A day after that, the call-in show, great fun. And now the dance mix. This momentum is remarkable. But the dynamics of the story suggest we can't be at the high point. Because we've known a long while that Casey's scheme eventually collapses. Could be Cashcall, the DA, the IRS, his family. But we know the line will go silent. And until then, the Nigels and Duanes will continue to deliver the juice of internet drama.
I'm still reeling from the fact his phone bill is high because he uses the data service to release comments from moderation. I turned off that pricey data service on my second day with this PDA. We've seen so much that we forget how outrageous it is. But new blood still arrives, articulate and indignant, and Casey still posts the comments, scheming and scrambling, awash in sweet attention, but unable to capitalize.
Remember the words of our sage:
as long as it's a win-win
and the deal is sweet enough
for there to be enough juice in it
for everybody.
Still sweet to me.
So, If we start posting the contents of the Gutenberg project his cell bill will break 4 digits? Sweeeet.
For some reason, this monkey pic freaks me out even more than the clown did. This monkey is CREEPY!
FUCK CASEY SERIN !!!!
why doesn't Cayshe just do everybody a big fuckin' favor and kill himself already ???
hey Casey, why not kill yourself today ???
i will eagerly come and visit your West Sacramento gravesite and happily celebrate your (far too long in coming) death, by urinating and deficating on your pathetic Uzbek tombstone...
it'll be a sweet win-win deal for sure -- you fuckin' creampuff !!!!
settle. down. Beavis.

Dude, you're a fucking asshole. Casey is many things, but you are way below him. And that's saying a lot. Who the hell encourages ANYONE to kill themselves. You make me sick.
This whole misadventure is sad enough. "T" is right, even Casey, while he has hurt a great many people hasn't shown the slightest vindictiveness about it.
Rob Dawg said...
"T" is right
If I had a nickel for every time someone said this...
:)
casey is never going to do anything legit and above-board, legally, the entire rest of his life.
his contribution to society is nothing, and in the future, even less.
he functions as a parasite of the system and the status quo.
he is a cancer on hard working, taxpaying folk.
he is a narcissus con-man egomaniac who mockingly laughs at mainstream society and its ideals.
you went to college? you work 9-5 at a W2 job? casey laughs at you and your simple-mindedness -- you are hugely inferior to him and his Linux skills.
casey is God and you are nothing.
T is right, casey should live forever, to repeatedly and overtly manipulate the system and its resources and never work a day in his life.
People change, Greg. You never know. One harsh trip to the big house could change Casey forever. He might work 10 jobs honest jobs afterward to make sure he never goes back.
No one can predict the future.
And for someone to encourage another to commit suicide is just plain wrong. If you can't see that, than you're a bigger asshole than the first guy who left that comment. Asshole.
I'm completely with T - I've long said that Casey needs a massive shock to his system (which may well come with the impending visit from Cashcall's repo men), but I don't fundamentally think he's a bad person. Not least because I can't imagine Casey ever calling for someone else to commit suicide.
He's certainly toe-curlingly naive and almost sublimely unaware of the way his actions impact on others, and I absolutely agree he deserves jail time for what he's done - but when it comes to unabashed and premeditated evil, he has nothing on the subject of this book review that I read yesterday. And I doubt he ever will.
