Looks like syndicatered has taken down his blog.

Can you please take my full name off your links? I took down my LJ account because of you, I hope you understand my concern given shitweasel pops up as the first thing attached to my name on a websearch. Best of luck. A

THAT IS THE GUY. he'd invite us on his "silent journey" spamming around to various financial communities to "join him". what kind of serious financial efforts work without feedback? so that guy would annoy me, absolutely, and i probably banned him from the community i maintain there. but why not take his full name down? what did he do to you?

Well, you did ask nicely, so I'll see what I can do to reduce your name exposure.

Is it that you don't want your real name out there at all, or just that you don't want it associated with the word "shiteweasel"?

And while we're talking, do you have any response to what's been posted here about your actions? I want you to succeed, I just know you are following the path to destruction as surely as Casey Serin did.

Thanks Doug, I really appreciate it, its the term shitweasel and it's google name relevancy that I'm concerned with. Look at it from a business standpoint, I work on large transactions and make new contacts, they google my name just like I do theirs so I know who I am dealing with and the term shitweasel comes up as the #1 name relevancy, how does that reflect on my ability to conduct business successfully? It destroys it and thus kills business transactions I am associated with. Fact of the matter is I had never really gone into in depth what exactly it is I am dealing with aside from Commercial projects because I don't want more competition and it's pretty hard to believe and understand if you aren't dealing with it from 10 a.m. in the morning till 8 o clock at night Monday through Saturday. I expect nothing but skepticism from others. Kellene didn't lure me into a scam nor am I following Casey's path towards destruction. In fact I owe Mrs. Bishop all the thanks and love I have in my heart for introducing me and training me on something that is a very high paid career. Casey tried to make his money as an investor speculating, I am providing a commission based service where I only get paid for closings much like I did in the mortgage industry before this. Now the #'s are just massively larger and the deals are harder than you can imagine to close. Now lets go further into the future and assume the worst, I fail, I end up in foreclosure on 1 property that is on the beach with a million dollar view, not 6 properties in bad locations. So after everything was said and done I end up with a foreclosure on my credit that I can remove in a month from the credit bureau's never to bother me again.

his willingness to take down your name doesn't change the fact you're crazy as a box of clocks. but to my knowledge you haven't done anything unlawful. i'm glad you're done spamming lj communities with comments disabled. if you want one-way communication, use paper on a post.

JohnDiddler said...

additionally, as i remember, you clearly described speculative asset purchases in your lj. i also own speculative investments, but don't try to tell us you don't speculate. you seemed to think of it as a major and viable means to your unrealistic goal. don't set unrealistic goals.

John my sole reason for disabling comments is I don't allow negativity into my life. Fact of the matter is, overall, other people don't want to see others come up because it makes them reanalyze their own self worth.
Speculative, hell ya! I am all for risk as I should be at this age in my life, so long as at the end of the day its manageable.

I agree with Doug that you have Serin-esque qualities. You set unrealistic goals, and you did not achieve them. I run my business basically the opposite as you--I set realistic goals, welcome and encourage feedback, and am able to reject people who are full of bunk. Closing my ears would not help me. It's not hard to tease out people's self-delusions. And there are remarkable people in this world. But you never heard back from them, either!

While it is true that you only have one property foreclosed, which is a huge distinction between you and Casey. I don't recall properly (can't check with the LiveJournal down) did you live in the condo you bought? If so, that's kudos to you for having an owner occupied loan on a place you actually lived in.

However, here are some of the "shady" things I recall you saying you did/would do, again I can't verify them with the LiveJournal down:

- Cashback at close. You talked about this as if buying a home was a profit generating event, something like "We spent the last of the proceeds from the condo purchase." Did the lenders know about your cashback?

- You say you can erase a foreclosure from your credit history after one month. This seems shady if it's true, and pointless if it's not or it's temporary. This also doesn't mean you have the right to say "no" when asked on loan applications "have you had a foreclosure in the last five years", which will be a red flag with potential creditors.

In addition to some shadiness, you seem to have some other Casey like attributes, like buying a flashy car you can't afford (using money you borrowed to buy a condo?), having extravagant expenses for someone living in his parents' house, and generally believing that if you keep on keeping on that The Lord or The Universe or someone will drop a steaming pile of cash on your lap.

I understand you don't want negativity in your life, but think about what that ultimate negative feedback mechanism, pain, is useful for: If you touch a hot stove, the pain makes you recoil. If you could not feel pain, you might destroy your hand because you don't have that warning.

Negativity is something you should embrace to acheive balance. In terms you might understand, pure Yin or pure Yang are both unhealthy. If you do not know what is bad, how can you know what is good?
