Jim k ex Awesome owner final ride to hell

Before any body slams me for being cold let me say i could not stand the guy and im not the only one.
I would shed a tear and feel bad about loosing my lab more than him.

That being said jim took his life on aug 16 when the police were going to take him to jail they were at his trailer to pick him up and he took the cowardly way out he shot himself.

He had some serious bad charges against him i wont get into that but i will say the world will be a better place without him.

I also will say i new jim for over 25 years even i couldent believe he could be as bad as he was RIP jim (HELL)

Also dont think bad of me for the things ive said i thought he was a friend at one time he was very bad man its just to bad he dident end up in jail but then we would have to pay for that to so maybe he did every body a favor.

When klym was running jim and marie out of business and trust me he was the biggest problems they had he tryed to do to them what he did with owner or predator power boats when he set him up and ran him out of business after he sold it to him.

But jimmy was slick enough and i dont know how he pulled it off and i dont want to know but jim wasnt able to get his hands on the molds so he wasent able to buy the molds for pennies on the doller like he did with the owner of predator.

Dont get me wrong im not saying all these people were on the full up and up but they were no match for the devel himself.

I would have to at the look molds that are there but there was some scaming going on there to .
.



I do know at one pointe in time there was a complete 38 mold that he scamed.

This may be what brought Jim to his final demise. I heard about this back in 2011.
