Casey Comments at DHC

Casey gets into a long involved conversation at DontHateCasey. Unfortunately, he later removes the comments, undoubtedly when Damion woke up and saw the verborrhea. Here is a CH.C link to read backups of the comments, and you can also find them reproduced in this comment by iamfacing at DHC. Highlights follow.

(On being "an anonymous official representative of the Foreclosure Help Crew":)

Thank you Mr. Funk for your assessment of the situation with this "3rd person talk".

We will take this into account as we plan our next public relations strategy.

Consideration will also be given to our prior promises, certain family members, the national audience of Dr. Phil, the "gray area", and the the relative return on investment of reverting back to "1st person" and aggressively pursuing "personality-driven Web 2.0 marketing" angle in order to raise the success rates of the traffic-increase efforts, in order to generate reasonable and acceptable amounts of profit from the honest and honorable endeavour of helping individuals who are facing foreclosure, with full intent of the aforementioned profits to be used to pay back "every dirty penny", making right on past wrongs, and creating a stream of passive income for the enjoyment of those who took the risks that the ordinary citizens were unwilling to take and thus will not partake of such blessings.

(Man... WE need to get some sleep! Long day. Getting delusional.)

His exchanges with Dolph are pure Casey:

Just staying up late because for some reason its hard to fall asleep tonight. The weather is nice in Scottsdale. Not too cold. Not too hot. A good amount of work has been done today. The crew doesn't feel like starting on tomorrows work. So the crew is looking for any open conversations to contribute too. And is trying a little to hard. Perhaps the crew has been behind the scenes for too long and is subconsciously longing to come back to the front stage. To get back to generating buzz and talking plainly in 1st person about life and business and whatever else comes to mind. However The Crew must stay discipline and stay the course. Until further notice, or a change of direction with mutual agreement by the partner in charge, or a flip-flop...whichever comes first. Good night Mr. Dolph.

Some teasers for future troll bait:

Tomorrow we plan to post a TODO list for ForeclosureHelpBook development. Both as it relates to the blog and the book.

Furthermore, we might even go as far as putting up a spreadsheet that tracks hours worked per day and by task.

That would serve as both accountability for The Crew and some visible progress for the observers.

Dolph tears into Casey:

What's the point of a useless spreadsheet? Your history suggests you will either stop filling it in or take it down after two days.

Why not just prove to us you are helping folks? If I could see you are truly HELPING people without taking them to the cleaners, I'd make a pledge to stop 'hating' right now.

Now that doesn't mean I won't forgive you for bilking the system, but I can let bygones be bygones for now IF I thought you guys were A) Doing some good for others and B) Not taking people's equity or imposing harsh fees on them.

Also, please stop referring to US as "Casey".

Some actual useful information:

For example. We can say that Casey's 2006 taxes are still in the works. He had to pay his CPA $750 retainer to get those done. There was a lot of complexity with all the deals. Plus the CPA firm was concerned about Casey's ability to pay. As they are not unaware of his mess. So the deadline came and went but the taxes are still being worked on. It take a while for to get all the paperwork ready (I know I know, you can call it laziness, whatever).

The CPA is saying that most likely no taxes will be due because of all the losses. That means there will be no penalties for being late.
...
Casey DID make 2 quarterly tax payments in 2006 before running out of money. His CPA set him up on quarterlies in 2006 since he went full time real estate investor in Jan 06.

So the IRS did get some money out of him. Perhaps there may even be a refund.

And as far as we know (we're not CPAs) the IRS is not going to tax you if you have a net zero income. Doesn't matter if you made money. What counts is how much of it stays.
...
Sorry, lets correct that. IN the last post instead of "net zero income", we meant net zero "profit". There was definitely income for casey in 2006, however the losses were pretty monstrous. But I will let him tell you later once the taxes are done.
...
By "losses" we meant "business expenses" - meaning deductions off the income. I know you understand what I mean, just want to correct because there are many "detail guys" here.

Ah, "Business expenses." He means Jamba Juice and Macaroni Grill, and $300 cell phone bills.
