Hooooooly smokes, that forum is ridiculous!

Those people are supposed to be investors or stock holders? How are you supposed to find actual information amidst the endless yammering of the lower-case addicted and underscore afflicted?

Just another reason I hope AU goes under.

EDIT: Jason, how does it feel to be "infamous" now? :wink:

Many of the apparent posters on that forum are actually a single person. "sherrif_of_cybertown", "jason_roenfraud", "cynthia19600", "bodacious_tatas_gawd", "rosenfelds_mommy", "the_search_for_spock", formerly "socrates85", and probably others, all seem to be the same person. In fact, I believe he's the same one who posted here with names like "james_bond_007" or whatever, and is the one who created and moderates the mscl_dvd_forum on Yahoo Groups, and has been the only one to post to that group, again using various aliases.

The distinctive lack of capitalization, correct spelling or grammar, and the extreme overuse of "lol" make his posts easy to identify. He's made it fairly clear on the stock forum that he accepts that Another Universe is crooked, but that neither he nor the other shareholders can do anything about it, and that he doesn't personally care, since for him the stock is just an investment. At least, that's what I've been able to extrapolate from posts like:

Honestly this socrates person is crazy, this semester I am studying neuropharmacology and socrates sounds like he fits the description of many of the disorders we discussed. I really think he needs some help.

I didn't realize that the members of his cult all killed themselves because they were double billed by AnotherUniverse.com. :P

I just visiting raging bull again... thinking about what has happened. It almost makes the american legal/business system seem like a joke. If you smoke a joint at Penn State University, you get thrown in jail. You are a movie star and you stole less than $6,000 of clothing from a fancy clothing store, well you get humiliated with a public trial and a broken arm to boot.

Steal $100,000 from your customers, withhold contractual payments to freelance writers... NOTHING HAPPENS TO YOU. Even at a basic level, you would think visa or mastercard would put them on probabation. I'm sure they are seeing a trend. Has anyone had any luck with reports to fbi?

p.s. Lietuva, nice choice of avatar.

The investor board at Raginbull is actually very interesting in that many of them think I am making up the double bills.
