Dont compare Fred to Bill Hionis ever PLEASE !! Fred was actually a nice guy that didnt know how to properly grow a business. His intentions were good the end results werent. Hionis just plan phucked people over in a scam. I was involved and when we went to court there was over 34 mil that he stole from people.

I was friends with Fred. I stayed at his house, boated with him etc. I too was disappointed to see his business go down the tubes like it did. I will say that he tried very hard to please people. Without making excuses for him, he and his family had endured some very difficult times.
Sad to see what becomes of some people.
Equally sad to see a group mentality pile on just because its popular. I've been on this board since '02 and witnessed those who hated Fred, knew Big Scotty, and sign petitions to free Ben Kramer just because they wanted to be part of the crowd.
I miss the old days of speedgirls avatar, phantomchaos and his jokes, cashbrain's rants, and Apache is best...
