I've heard of people having their breathing.. impaired... for much less than that.

And for the moderation, I commend you, Dr. Mike.

Speaking of which, isn't there anything that you can do in the US? I'm assuming you didn't just walk up to him with a briefcase of twenties and ask for the car. If it was a bank transfer, wouldn't this technically constitute wire fraud?



That's twenty years max in a federal penitentiary in the US. Seems really bad.

Don't know, just wondering.

No, I think he had been watching me for a few years and waiting for his opportunity to strike. That opportunity came when he saw I sold my Supra.

He told me to just wire it and it was safe. I said "How is it safe? Yeah you will get the money, but that doesn't protect me from having you spend it on your own bills." He claimed that wouldn't happen and that he had his own money and had a couple houses, a bunch of cars, etc. This his GF told me how he referred to me as family and that he was helping me out and that he would never scam family.

I thought OK this guy has a ghetto shop and isn't as successful as he says he is, but he has a dealer license and can save me a few grand on a car. I guess I should have verified that he actually had a license.

As far as the fraud thing goes I can't say a whole lot about that yet.

/\ those douchebags even used the F word.... family.

LOL.
Typing the is the same, too. Both keep mentioning "No juice baby!!" or "Supplements and natural baby!!".
Also notice the double exclamation marks by both. :rofl:


He wish every night that was him, just like how his boyfriend wish he was a model like Steph Ly.

Haha, nice. I'm not sure what else he can help with since I'm already proceeding with a lawsuit. But I guess he could dig up more dirt for the lolz :D

I already know where I can find Anthony. Just waiting for due process or whatever it's called. If I wasn't suing him believe me I would have caught up with him while he was still in LA.

I'll check the link out, thanks :thumbsup:

I asked my attorney if I can post the public docs and she said yes. I requested a copy of the final draft so once I get those and edit out my name I will post up. I'm sure some of you already know who I am but oh well, lol.

:rofl: I haven't seen most of those pics, thanks :thumbsup:

The kid was ditched with Anthony's mom, not her deadbeat brothers. And now that they are back the kid is back with them and gets beat by man face.

Drow 12-13-2010 01:33 PM

s(he) really has a beast face.... who the fuck wanted to take pictures of her? she mustve paid them

godwin 12-13-2010 03:57 PM

Since the person lives in Canada (assuming he is smart enough to avoid WA).. Unless he has committed a horrendous crime, like killing a family ala Rafay and Burns.. What are your chances of really able to catch him and exact vengeance via US courts? Even if you get him in the civil court, there is probably not much left you can recoup. Or is the lawsuit just for the principle of it?

I was excited to post up the docs but I got some good advice with reasons why I should wait.

A lot of intel has been coming in the last couple of days from various sources. Really good stuff :D

This thread has a huge audience of lurkers :thumbsup:

midnight_r 12-13-2010 04:14 PM

Zap 12-13-2010 08:50 PM

DrMike, just read this thread. I'm blowin away by this idiot scammer, hope you get your money back. Kudo's to you for holding yourself back, something I wouldn't be able to do.

I will continue to follow this thread, for sure.


-DA Strong :)

Derek_N84 12-14-2010 12:40 AM

fuuuu I was hoping I could see something epic by now! Can't wait till this spirit bomb drops haha.

But seriously, props to you Mike for holding your cool for this long ...I would have gone ape shit spider monkey mode months ago.

impulseX 12-14-2010 08:38 AM

Honestly, I don't think any of us would have been able to keep our cool in this situation. I'm almost certain that a good 99% of us would have done something drastic if we were put in this situation. Props to you Mike, and good luck!

geeknerd 12-14-2010 10:11 AM
