it worked out well. he never went to jail, so it didnt cost 100k a year to keep the ****er alive, and now he cant rip people off anymore. the other + is that no one had to go to jail for 25 years for offing em
and i agree with the fact that it sucks for his kids if he had any. other then that, no tragedy here.

A lot of you new guys don't know the horror and crap he has given to a lot members here. He was the ultimate person in ripping off a person I have ever read on a forum. I only believe only one person out of the hundreds has ever said a positive thing about him but I am still fishy about that one and his affiliation with Mr.A .

A truly con artist will not get any respect from me.

Not trying to sound righteous at all (I would be the biggest hypocrite because I post dumb crap, sometimes), but this is the reason why I post and have the position I do in Forge's reintroduction thread. For those who contributed, positively or negatively, reflect back upon some of your posts and see if you conveyed your thoughts and opinions in the best light. Some people fight harder battles than others.

R.I.P.
yes you are tryign to put yourself on a pedestal fo rigtheousness....
When someone focks up, they fock up.... there is no way to reinvient themselves...well there is through misleading people and lying, which is what his partner MrS does.
I dont know that anybody wished he woudl have died, not me personally....but the bashing he received was well deserved. Since youa re decently new, and enver "investigated" the vrt story then i dont think you comment is valid.

He did it to himself and was not a good person.
its a sad situation for his family, but yah, he took easy way out instead of facing consequences...plus we are specualting that he commited suicide because of the VRT debacle?, i doubt it, i bet it was other reasons.
Dont take the VRT thread down either... its not about him but about the other members of that defunct business, like the co-owner and business partner mr S.

POS.. I love in the last paragraph, they talk about ganging up and pursuing legal action. I'm sure they were talking about "legal" action.

No sympathy at all. Can you imagine what lessons he might have passed along to his children? I wonder if his wife/baby momma knew how shady he is. I'll go so far as to say that his children might be better off now.

In the end, he made it to where no one will ever be able to recoup anything, since he took the cowards way out. *****. I hope he's burning right now. Thanks for the link XKR.

LOL.I remember that.I think ultimately myself and a couple others were the nail in the coffin for VRT.We personally know of about 4 of their customers who were taken for no less then $100,000!!!! I dont regret it at all. I would do it again in a hearbeart! I never wished him any harm. I just wanted to expose a scammer.

Mr.A apparently tried to get into some other get rich quick schemes which didnt pan out and I think ultimately,it was the repeated failures which drove him to the breaking point.I do feel bad for him family because he did take the easy weay out and ultimately left his family hanging!!!!!!! And that just isnt right

+1 to the family but I've read about 100pages on Mr.S/A... there's no worse a person in this life than a thief and a liar. I personally wasnt around for this fiasco but all the members that chimed in can not be wrong so those who have sympathy for the death of someone who caused for people to loose money should really question their own belief in whats just.
