Yes, and that message board still exists under a different name :drink:

If you do not renew the domain name, someone else can purchase those rights, build up a new site, and then sell the domain rights to someone else. Or you can simply buy the rights and then try to sell them to the legitimate owner of a site. That was one of the original scandals here, someone bought offshoreonly.net and org I think and then tried to sell them to Steve S. And then it got really good after that :lolhit::angry-smiley-038:

He keeps it up for those that wish to use it.

Admirable actually.

He kept it alive for those that wanted it and left it to them to run.

There would be a small group that would probably be quite upset with him.

I understand some of your guys compassion. but really? dont waste it on him, he knew exactly what he was doing when it came to his lies to us. Maybe instead of trying to tell us how moral and right he was he should have just gone to work and taken care of his family(s)..little mouths need to be fed ;)....

Anyhow I commend you guys on the compassion part but just remember he didn't have a problem taking everyone's money for his own gain, he was the tommy boy of ponzi schemes :D

If not for him, let's respect his other family members who may be completely innocent. Remember there's other family members involved other than just him directly.

People can be the scum of the earth but it's not right to post about their family. Just my $.02 :drink:




Leapords never change their spots. :drink:

I don't mind addressing this. Again. It'll be lost in the screaming, but I don't mind.

To your first inquiry- that wasn't a bank statement. At that time the Serious account was one of those freebie's with minimal transactions and paperless. That's the output you get from the website. At the time I could only see YTD, not Nov and Dec. It took a while for the bank's IT department to get it to where I could get that data. I downloaded it- it automatically opens as an excel spreadsheet. If I wanted to alter it in any way, all I'd had to do was type in what I wanted. If you notice, there are duplicate check numbers. The checks are printed on blanks by a $49 piece of check software. I mistakenly started twice. Keep in mind, I'm no accountant- I'm terrible with that stuff. And I was doing it in a pinch. No excuses- that's just what happened. If I really wanted to create a fake, I have the brains and resources to do so.

To point two- there is no "glaring shortage" of anything. I provided access to the account to the individual that brought Alec here. His "dear friend". You would have thought Stecz's word would be good enough. But it conflicted with the agenda and suddenly Dave is also a major league liar. There were instant accusations of multiple paypal accounts, etc. So why bother? Those that have already made up their minds won't be swayed regardless.

After the raffle I spoke to Alec and told him I needed to get Paypal to transfer the funds. I'm not exactly sitting around during the day and there wasn't any urgency that I could detect. Eventually we just decided I'd bring it to Key West with me. Actually, as we had various discussions, Alec was going to send his check here to me to be forwarded together. But then we decided otherwise. If it was an issue, a call could have resolved it quickly.

Lastly, I didn't know about the NSF the same way Alec and the hospital didn't. The notice- if they sent one- would have gone to a PO box that gets stuffed daily with junk mail. I check it every other week. If they sent something, I missed it. No one discovered it. No one. I'm at a loss as to how this is an inconceivable possibility. I didn't even get a phone call when the hospital discovered it. Just a friendly and casual e-mail that asked if I could look into it. And not a call once during the week I was trying to discover how it happened. I reacred just as if Alec would have bounced a check on me. I trust(ed) him and I knew it was going to be resolved. If it were even a minor issue, I'd have thought I would have received a phone call.

The rest of it? A distraction. Believe what you like. The site wasn't started for any other reason than for someplace for all of us to hang out. I'll admit, I got caught up in the enthusiasm and the competition. But in the end, that's not our original goal. Now we're refocused on the plan that Dave and I spoke about in our first chat about making a place we could always count on being there. And if you enjoy a no-drama place you can hang with your friends, you're welcome to visit. If not, that's OK too.
