[LarryO]

I was hoping on an update on legal preceding......nonsense like that can't go unchecked

What I don't understand is why did he even bother sending the pos bass? He seriously thought that could pass as a Dingwall?

He thought it would constitute 'plausible deniability'.....'honest mistake.....'

The kid scammer involved bore more then a passing resemblance to Captain Steubing's daughter on "The love Boat"....I remember that much about the thread in question!

No, she was kinda pretty... well the grown up version of her was, at least.
I got to meet her at a car show in the late 80s. She posed next to my 66 GTO for a photo shoot

 

[elshunko]

Done.

FYI, it looks like the bassist has been released. Or fired, if you like to be blunt.

You know the rules Lee, pics-pics-pics or it never happened and it was all a dream.

Definitely not nearly "blunt" enough in my opinion.

This kid needs to be held accountable.
At a minimum other members should have the opportunity to have full disclosure on his details.
It's one thing if he genuinely did the right thing but to return it out of fear then go on their FB page disrespecting the entire TB communities intelligence and act as if the entire thing was one big misunderstanding. Then proceed to allow their fans to trash our community knowing that their bass player is a crook.

That's a very viable solution though.

 

[ShredderMaximus]

Holy carp, I can't believe I read that whole thread...

 

[Lowactnsatsfctn]

Not to promote it, but I'm kind of surprised no one did "anything" to him.

 

[free_Bassd]

ok, so as an overview, people on TB actually know his real identity because someone knows the band he's in? whoever and the apostles or something like that right?

There were pictures of him, FB links, Email addresses and a home address

 

[free_Bassd]

oh ouch. well I'm equally surprised. there are some sick people out there, and it only takes one vengeful SOB who knows your home address to ruin your day. me on the other hand, well I'm a lover not a fighter

 

[Evil Undead]

I love (sarcasm) that people on their Facebook page were defending him and saying it was an honest mistake, even after he posted in that thread admitting to the crimes accused.

People can be so clueless.

 

[machine gewehr]

Maybe, just maybe, there should be a sticky about people who are known as scammers.

 

[free_Bassd]

couldn't they (those in the sticky labeled as "untouchables") just make a new TB account to beat the rep?

 

[Scobby Bott]

Remember that show, "Your Friend, Andrew W.K.?" It's situations like this where I wish it was still around.
