Yes, I’m here in Australia. The rumors are true. But a lot of people are slanting the story to make it seem worse than it is. These people are spreading crap about me to ruin anything left of my name and ruining the reputation of everybody who is associated with me.
No, I did not leave my wife penny-less and run away to Australia! It’s amazing how some people are trying so hard to sabotage my efforts to make an honest buck through my story/publicity. More on that below.
For now… why in the WORLD am I in Australia?
I have been thinking of getting away and doing some massive action in business for a while. I wanted to focus on getting the foreclosure book done and get a lot of other stuff done in a distraction-free environment.
Then the opportunity came in a crazy way. One of my fans who lives in Australia invited me to come over anytime and stay free of charge for as long as I want. He lives in the mountain and has a room with a bed and a desk. He said I can eat their food and use their internet connection. So basically live for free.
He figured I may want to take a little break and get away, focus and work on my book and stuff like that. That was exactly what I wanted.
But the problem: airfare.
Then another crazy thing happens. Another fan from Canada emails me saying that he’ll give me $1,000 for me to keep blogging. He missed reading my stuff. He is a young entrepreneur and thinks it was a big shame to close the blog down because it was finally making full-time income and he was getting a lot of benefit from it and thinks others do to. He wanted to see how I make my come-back story and all that.
Both of these emails come on the same day, last Wednesday. So I contact the guy with $1000 to see if he is for real. He was. So then I checked the airfare and it was gonna cost about $900 for a one-way ticket to Australia. I accepted the $1,000 from Canadian guy and told him I will bring the blog back up. I used the money to buy a ticket to Australia. After Canadian Dollar conversion I only had $800 so I had to add about $100 of my own cash to buy the ticket. So I got to fly to Australia for only $100! (Big thanks to my supporter from Canada, the blog is back thanks to your support!)
So that’s the short story. I wanted to get away for a little bit of time and focus on finishing the foreclosure book, get the blog back up and producing income and work on other business projects. This would also give me some time to think about my marriage, spend time praying and seeking God’s direction in everything. The opportunity came, the money came, and here I am in Australia!! Crazy!!
The family here is very nice. The guy who invited me out here is an entrepreneur / business guy like me. So far we’ve just been hanging out and getting to know each other. Went to the rain forest yesterday. I taught them how to play Texas Hold Em poker and we had a good time playing last night.
I spend the last couple of days getting situated and now I’m ready to get some productive business done here…
But now the idiots out there (excuse my language) are trying to sabotage everything!
They are trying to screw up every last bit of opportunity I have to make an honest buck and pay off all this debt. People don’t realize that I cannot pay back my mountain of debt with just a job.
Duane LeGate himself started a business in order to pay off his $700,000 of debt. That’s right! The same Duane who is telling me to shut everything down and get a job did the exact opposite when he was in the same situation.
Duane LeGate (whom I used to respect and trust) is one of the biggest hypocrites and back-stabbers (he posted a bunch of private emails in the past and recently the details of our PRIVATE meeting all over the net, how do you trust a person like that?). The other guy who said he was going to help me seems like a back-stabber too (well, at least as far as threatening me with a frivolous law suit out-of-the-blue… we’ll have to wait and see how things develop).
Idiot haterz are going too far…
The idiot haterz (critics who are trying to screw up my attempts at making money) have already been ripping off my copyrighted posts from this blog and posting them all over the internet in order to prevent people from going on my site. They have also been doing that with my podcasts and pictures. Ripping off copyrighted content or posting my pictures that have attribution license withing giving me a link is wrong and illegal!
I don’t mind the “hating” but when they rip off my copyrighted posts, podcasts and reveal private sensitive info, that’s going way too far.
What’s even worse is them going after anybody who is associated with me!
These people did not deserve this!! What did they do? They are simply people who are doing business with me or simply my friends/family/associates.
Maybe because I’ve been too busy and under-funded to fight these people. Maybe they think its OK to screw with me and my associates and violate our privacy and copyrighted content. They justify it by saying “He is blogging so he’s an open target, he asked for this”.
Are you kidding me?
Just ‘cuz somebody is blogging his mistakes and you don’t like how he’s going around fixing them does not give you he right to do this! It’s not like I’ve been caught with mortgage fraud or something. I was the one who started this blog. I was the one who shared my mistakes with the loans. I was the one who wanted to make it right by talking about it.
Why are people treating me like a criminal for trying to share my story for other people’s benefit and trying to make a buck or two from it?
So…
- NO - I didn’t run away from the country and to try to leave my debts behind. I’m here to focus on business for a short time and PAY OFF my debts. This is a temporary trip. The opportunity presented itself and I went. It could have been anywhere.
- NO - I didn’t leave my wife penniless. I actually had most of the trip paid for by somebody else. I spend only about $150 on this trip. There were other expenses that hit the bank account at the same time that made it seem like I took a bunch of money out. I indent to continue making money from this blog and other opportunities to support myself and my wife. (In fact I have $500 referral commission that I made a while back but am just now getting paid on it. That should hit the bank account tomorrow morning.)
- NO - My wife wasn’t completely OK with me going on this trip but I had to do what I have to do to provide. I couldn’t bring back the blog with all the drama at home. Taking the blog down for a week was really a bad thing financially, however it showed my wife that I was willing to choose her over my blog. However, after my publisher threatened to sue me I made yet another hard decisions to come back online and keep my only income stream going.
- YES - I just wanted to get a way and have a quiet place to work on my foreclosure book and other stuff so that I can make some money, pay off our debts and turn this whole foreclosure story and exposure into a success.
- YES - I love my wife and I want to keep our marriage (even with all the craziness lately). I am having to make some tough decisions that are not very popular but I need to continue producing income from this blog, continue working on the book and other business opportunities and making a turn-around. Aside from this necessary mention I will continue keeping my family off this blog to respect their feelings.
- YES - Even as I write this post, my private emails, business deals, and copyrighted materials are being shared across the internet without my authorization!
…
P.S. Sorry guys to bring all this drama into this and the stronger language. I normally don’t get this worked up. I wasn’t gonna share anything about Australia, at least not right now, but now I must make a response.)
Oh and another thing… my foreclosure blog is ranking is even higher now and traffic is going just as strong if not stronger. The blog hasn’t skipped a beat. I just wish I didn’t have to return all the advertising money or I would have actually had something in the bank right now. Still, I want to treat all the advertisers and supporterz right and give everybody good value.

Casey you are such big man for standing up to any negativity. Don’t let them bring down on you.
Everyone else; Casey is one pen away from riches. He is one pen away from no debt. His family is in his heart, and Casey will ALWAYS do the right thing.
-
Hey, $800 is $800…. It was money already in your pocket…
The vacation to Aus is still money out of your pocket. Money that would have been living expenses to take care of things at home otherwise. No creative reasoning or justification is going to change that.
Not that going on a vacation is a bad idea… It might be what you needed, or it might be a necessary expense for your business… But its best to recognize your expenditures for what they are rather than to lie to yourself with reasoning of convenience.
-
I think Mocha and your Australian friend are the only supporters you have left, Casey.
-
Casey,
You can make a formal complain with the FBI on illegal ripping off your copyright materals. The crime is same as someone use a picture of actor without permission.

yessss, ingenious move for the blog — snowflake is back and away from his debt responsibilities (hey, I’m not a haterz™, so could you please release my commentz™). Go Casey go! but watch out not to get f’d over by a wabbit!!
-
Cool beans!
Have fun down there — just not too much fun.
Good luck, mate!
-
we should all have a party at dreamworld. i’ll come and be a supporter. i won’t say anything mean except “whoooooohooo” when we go on the ghost train ride.
i’m assuming you’re on the east coast. i have some brilliant RE deals around Brisbane
enjoy the weather and don’t b**** about the rain.. whatever you do!
-
Wow Casey.
This is why I come here. You are unpredictable.
-
Oh, is the Friday show still on?
-
I call total BS.
-
Well; you have to learn how to cope and adapt your self to the haters; but it seems like they are feeling the heat and now they are on defence; so keep the good work Casey and dont change your strategy; you will do very well!!
Many cant even get close to what you have achieved its just a matter of time and you will get there:::mark my word!!
-
Casey on the wrong side of the road drinking starbucks, what a troll, I hope I’m the only one posting because everybody else ripped the content from this site…
-
Casey,
I admit you are your own man and should be able to do what you want. Had you been single and done this, it wouldn’t matter so much, except for creating the impression in the eyes of law enforcement you’re a flight risk.
However, you are a married man and have an obligation to your partner. Get back here and honor that obligation. If you need quiet time, go to the library.
Man up Casey and get back home.

Well, Casey. The haterz did go a bit too far, and are actually getting kinda boring. I don’t know why they think they can provide more shock value than you provide all by your lonesome. An ounce of your wisdom and world view is far more entertaining than their diatribes.
Sure, they ‘broke’ the story that you went to Australia. But, YOU actually WENT to Australia. One way ticket, no less. Against your wife’s wishes (glad to hear you love her…I was a bit concerned). They ‘report’ the news, but you MAKE the news.
(an Australian friend of mine who has lived there and in the US says that Australia does NOT use credit scores from the US agencies, by the way…something for you to think about - whenever you are ready you can get an Australian credit card and buy yourself a ticket home! Voila!)
But, you know - haterz will be haterz. Its those family members making you shut down your blog, costing you ad revenue, bumming you out on your sweet trip to Australia, etc., that really disgusts me.
Thanks for the post. First decent one in over a month! I knew I could count on you to make a dramatic comeback.
Rock On!
(you do realize your family is probably disowning you about now, right? I’m sure the same thing happened to Trump and Ben Franklin and Bill Gates and everyone else at least once, though, so its all good)
-
“These people are spreading crap about me to ruin anything left of my name”
Damn, it’s nice to see you still have a sense of humor.
“I just wish I didn’t have to return all the advertising money”
Oh, I bet you do!
Run, advertisers, run!You’re hilarious, man.
Thanks for the 200 mb of traffic to my site today! -
Be sure to send us some pictures of the down under life.
relax , enjoy, unwind - I here it’s great this time of year.Have you really been using a moderator for this ? WOW!
I can imagine what the posts look like that didn’t get put up.
Enjoy - email me when you get a chance - TFW Crew
-
Your story is getting more and more interesting. I wouldn’t worry to much about what other people are writing on other sites. It is only going to fuel traffic to your blog. Enjoy your time in Australia. If I wasn’t traveling I would have liked to meet up.
-
Oh Princess Snowflake, if the book deal is in fact real, you won’t be able to profit:( There are laws–much like the Son of Sam law–that disallow a person from monetary profit of a crime, regardless of being convicted or not. There was even one case I googled where the creditors filed civil charges against all profits from a book not yet published and won…which, of course, stop the fraudster from continuing with his book. I’m not sure if you knew this, but it will make for a way to pay back every dirty penny.
Consequently, if you did not inform your creditors ( they like in writing ) that you were leaving the country, the may press for LE to move forward. You know, looks like you’re bailing on your debt and such. I hope you got all your ducks in a row on this, Princess. Attention to detail, it does matter. -
“I don’t really know if I can trust ANYBODY anymore!”
A howler, Casey, that’s a howler!
I’m going to miss you when you finally buy into “the Big House”.
-
Good luck on your book.
-
Casey,
Steve here….I understand you might not have the money to fight/Sue the Haters/Idiots for posting copyrighted material all over the internet. The thing is, I do, and I want this stopped because they have gone to far. Casey I want you to give me a list of websites that posted copy righted material…posts…podcasts and I will contact a lawyer next monday and will start working down the list. This will be a good chance to make some money on these morons. Let me know
-
So, how long have you been in Australia? How much work have you gotten done.
Nice Car. Are you renting it, or did your fan(s) provide it?
Who paid for the starbucks coffee?
Did your canadian fan pay you $1000 to keep the blog up as part of your agreement to have $1000 on the table every Friday? Or, did this individual provide you with the $$ to go to Australia?
Did you arrange for $1000 to be on the table this past Friday?
How will you have $1000 on the table this coming Friday?
-
Idiot haterz are going too far…
Idiot haterz …. you mean those who hate idiots ?
-
And the wiley parasite finds a new host…
-
Copyright law is one of those gray areas, kinda like speeding on the freeway - everyone copies stuff from the internet.
-
So are you actually writing these posts? Isn’t your publisher writing them for you?
-
THAT’S IT…I WILL NEVER VISIT ANOTHER HATERZ BLOG OR ATTEND ANOTHER HATERZ CAST EVER AGAIN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Casey, I should have listened to you in the first place. There is NOOOOOOOOO getting through to them. Its almost like if I went to a (KKK) rally in real life. The hate is oozing out of their pores.
Oh, someone called to let me know that “t” was on the talkcast AFTER I had hung up. “Tranny???” Is that what she called me??? How original. (YAWN) Told you dumbass haterz, I will not dignify your ignorant attack of what my sexuality might be with an answer…the only reason being…because you wanna know sooooooooooo bad. Get on your hands and knees and dig through my trash for used tampons if you are so inclined
Anyways…bring it…ya lonely a** cat lady…”t”. You have an invitation to Detroit too. Mack avenue…8pm on any night…don’t forget to bring your girl scout leader Stephanie J with you…so I can bop your two heads together.
I remember you very well. You were the idiot that paid $250.00/h just to hear Casey’s “voice.” Then asked for your money back when you realized how pitiful you looked nagging the poor guy for an hour. You another “cooger”??? Hehehehehehehehehe… .
I told you Casey is a superstar…he’s even got groupies to prove it. At least I am not hanging on his every word like a love sick teenager. Prissy miss stephanie j even has “seizures” when he doesn’t blog. Casey, my man…if anyone ever doubted it…you definitely got it going on to inspire all this idol worship/hate.
“Idiot Haterz” is right…definitely not “harsh” enough. I’ve got some harsh words for ya…but not yet…I want to have the opportunity to really stick it to em…when the book comes out.
Casey, on the real tip…I am confused about exactly what is going on right now…but I still have faith in you and hope that you have a plan a place. Especially one that will accomodate and benefit those near and dear and “true” to you.
(I really hope your moderator allows this comment to be posted. Haterz say so much unwarranted s*** about you…I have been in their den…please give me the opportunity to share my observations too)
Still MOCHA…in my ghetto fabulous mode tonight
-
Casey, I can’t wait for your book to come out.
Chapter 9: “Kangaroo boxing and gator wrestling for extra cash and fame”.
Gatorz is haterz!
-
You can trust yourself - remember, in the end, it is just you against the world.
Commitments to anything but yourself will just hold you back - fall forward with the grace and skill we have all come to expect from Casey Serin, a still to be written success story.
-
Hey, how is the weather down under?
If you stay for any length of time maybe I’ll come visit you.
Maybe we can do a little Scubba diving?
-
And I didn’t come here to be spending hours upon hours filtering through hater comments all day long.
You’re right. You won’t have a work permit for Australia, and moderating blog comments counts as “work” in your world, so that’s the last thing you should be doing.
Mind you, quite what you CAN do in Australia given that you can’t work there is another question altogether…
-
Chimp Casey,
What is a ‘Presonal loan’? Another typo or a new financial instrument?
Do enlighten us.
-
Wow, things are really happening lately. Do you have money for a return ticket from Oz?
-
Don’t know what to say to you Case. I do think it’s wrong that people are swiping your stuff, it’s not like they just can’t link back to it here. Maybe the feel like you swiped money from the creditors so it just a bit of karma.
On another note, your publisher said that you will have to do you’re own promotion. Does that mean that when the book is finished you will be taking the show on the road and we’ll get to see you live and in person?
I’d pay to see that.
No matter what happens, I think you will be used as an example of what went wrong financially in this country over the past six years.
You fell for all the seminars and bought into the hype like a lot of other people did.
I think we are going to be hearing a lot more stories like yours over the next few years.
-
hey casey - don’t let those haterz get you down.
-
What do you think of Australia?
-
You can always trust your TRUE Supporterz Casey. You have only one way to go now — UP!
-
Seriously dude.
You are unbelievable.
Who cares if the traffic is strong on the site? It’s a train wreck…
-
1. The CDN $ is at 0.95 US now, so how did you manage to get US$800 out of CDN$1000? Must be your excellent business skillz.
2. A quick search of Orbitz and I found a one-way to Sydney for $550. Again, your great biz skillz. Also, why did you buy a one-way when your AUS visa doesn’t allow you to work and only allows you to stay 3 months? -
Casey:
Australia! How cool. I have a good friend there myself, though I’ve never been. The Haterz are pussies. They are jealous. I’ve said it before. You will have the last laugh. Hang in there, buddy. I’ll moderate if you want, but I understand your predicament.
I may want to renew my ad with you. Please don’t take it down before checking with me. Your hits are strong. The blog is BACK!

Dear Casey,
It is great to hear that you are fine and doing well in Australia. I was begining to get worried about you! I hope that your significant other is OK with you leaving…otherwise it could cause even more strife in the realationship.
-J. Murse Manbagger
asw: awesome

Casey, I think you did the right move. Beeing away from your wife and usual environment should help you turn this financial tragedy on a good base for starting some cash machine. Potentially, between the book, some conferences and the ad revenues generated by the trafic you have on this site, you should have cleared your debts in a few years (or less if you really succeed).
I was myself in some bad financial shape back in 1996 and I lived in a 90 sq ft studio (yes 9 square meter !). I have now a big appartment in the nicest neighborood of my city (Paris, France), no debts, some cash in the bank, a new audi and soon a beach house. I went through that at a price : I’m not self employed anymore. Just find a confortable way for you and your wife to reach that kind of financial serenity. Good luck in your moves… -
WHY DO PEOPLE KNOW ALL OF YOUR BUSINESS? HOW DID THEY KNOW YOU WENT TO AUSTRALIA? DID YOU PUT IT OUT THERE, OR DID SOMEONE DIG IT UP? I DONT GET IT?
-
G’Day Casey. Every good financial book has a unexpected chapter about kangaroo wrangling. Try and stay focused and watch out for the crocs.
-
Handouts! One way tickets to Australia! Mountain retreats and rainforests! Increasing paranoia!
Good times.
-
Hey Casey,
Okay - here’s a real question that will lead you to success. I know I have been giving you some porkers recently but here is a legit question.
What goal do you have that is running through your veins ? That you think about all the time ? That you know you will acheive come what may ? That you visualize regularly ? What is this goal ? Because, I truly believe that if somebody has a goal like this running through their body, the universe will conspire to help that person acheive their goal.
So Casey - what is your goal that permeates through your skin !
Please answer this question - if you want true success,
Your friendly real estate investor from the Sun Belt,
( no more forewordo jokos )
Loads O Money
-
Do not get bitter, Casey - never that.
About 80-90% of your audience consists of haters, keep that in mind. We sustain and enable your weasely ways. the Casey lovers are just the cherry on the top.
Check out the moon, BTW - the crescent is the wrong way around down under! Crazy stuff, getting drunk and thinking about koalas. Never mind the W-2 klowns, dood.
-
The Canadian dollar is at 0.94 cents to the US dollar. How did you manage to get only 800 US dollars for 1000 $CAN?
-
The land down under? COOL! I wish I was there too. And someone put you up for free? wow Casey you are one lucky guy!
-
Wow. Sweet! Definitely a good idea to travel and see the world while you are still young - especially if someone else is paying. Sweet. Truly Sweet.
So this random dude and his wife just invited you to stay? Like just out of the kindness of the kindness of their hearts?
Are you going to be flipping properties down there as well?
-
Is that a Starbucks Double Wheatgrass you’re drinking in that picture?
-
ASW: credit
What does Casey have that is not good?
-
Good luck on your trip. While you’re there I suggest giving some thought to an apparent impulsivity you have. Maybe introducing a 96 hour lag time into any ‘major decision’ (beyond whether or not you want fries with that) would help? I’m not a psychologist but I do notice you make a lot of sudden impulsive decisions. IE taking down then restarting blog, buying houses suddenly, going to Australia. I normally don’t stick my nose into others’ business but you are asking for feedback so there it is.
How do you like driving on the left? I did it in Japan and didn’t have trouble getting adjusted except for the turn signals being swapped from the windshield wipers (I was driving a Corolla).
-
Why did you travel so far for some business deals? Were you all tapped out in USA?
http://www.icantsellmyhouse.blogspot.com/ -
This comments thing has been something you are going to work on from the beginning. You are trolling yet again. Nothings changed and the storey has gotten old. Should have known you would never keep your side of a deal. I would not be surprised if your better half (and thats an understatement) is gone when you decide to return. Buck up and get er done. Make a decision and follow through for once in your life. Stop quitting when the seas get a bit choppy, and for goodness sake stop making excuses!!!
-
Casey, How do you plan on getting back from Australia. Did you now say “one-way ticket ” . How do you know you will have another 900 to get back home? I am glad to hear that you are working on things and have taken some time away to clear your head and get some work done. Good to hear from you, have fun playin poker!
ShellyV
-
I support you and feel that you will come out of this. To all the haterz please remember we all make mistakes its just up to you to get back up and contune your life.
EW -
The world is yours.
Another win for Team Casey!
-
Casey Casey Casey. You bought a one way ticket. One way. It does not get you home again. You make a big deal of how you got to fly to Australia for only $100 but how much are you going to have to pay to get home again and where is that money coming from? This is of course assuming that you are planning to go home. People who are planning to go to another country for a short while tend to buy return tickets.
How is it that you do not understand why so much hate is coming your way over this? You have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. A wife and family who have apparently had enough. Yet you still persist in making like everyone else, including wife and family, are in the wrong and now you have flown to the other side of the planet on a one way ticket. One way Casey. ONE WAY. This action screams running away and it is one that requires you to explain it far better than you have done so far if you do not want people to heap on the hate.
-
“So then I checked the airfare and it was gonna cost about $900 for a one-way ticket to Australia”
“I spent only about $150 on this trip”
So, tell us young Casey, how do you expect to pay for your return flight?
-
Don’t forgtet that a great many of your readers come here to read the stinging barbs of your critics, not just your own hi-jinks. We help keep your traffic up, so don’t take away our loving contributions to your numbers!
But wait, everyone who disagrees with you hates your guts and is evil evil evil. Keep up the good work, Mr. President.
-
LOL!! business person?! you?! hardly.
-
First you must let the comments flow otherwise you will lose what you so hard worked for. You keep making mistake after mistake, but I think you are finally learning from all this. This is a tough road for you and you will have allot more tough times coming. You going to Australia was a mistake. I know the opportunity arouse and you felt compelled to take it. I am a firm believer that when opportunity knocks you have to listen, but this does not apply in this circumstance. What you do not realize is you can not be half way across the world and expect to take care of and control your business. This is why it was a big mistake for you to go on this trip. The other side of it is that to all those who do support you, taking this trip makes it look like you do not care about anything and are not going to do what needs to be done. This causes more frustration from people and you lose more support. You can not please all the people but the ones’ you have on your side now you must do the right thing by and show good public image towards. You are making yourself a celebrity type status and with it comes responsibility such as your public appearance and how you act and what you do. You made this road for yourself now do the right thing. You have success at your figure tips, but if you keep making these dumb mistakes you will squander it. If you lose it you will NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE to reproduce it again. Start thinking things through and make smarter decision.
-
ok…i am confused you said you put the blog back because the publisher was going to sue you, and now you said you did it because u got $1000 bucks froma fan, now u are in australia??? i think thats clear now all this is a big joke
you may as well enjoy your time there, and one thing..i dont beleive a plane ticket to australia was that cheap -
Let’s name these idiots. Rob Dawg (Cote), Stephanie J., PMSPMS, flailing forward, Benoit™, Duane LeGate Traitor, and all the other dinks on Exurban Nation. LOOSERS>
By the way, the CDN $ is currently 94 cents US. You got ripped on the exchange rate.

You should have had Duane sign an NDA. You could be suing your way to profitability.
-
Is this domain really for sale as I see elsewhere on the net?
How does that fit in with monetizing it and leveraging a publisbhing deal.
These are just questions.
-
I thought the “publisher” was what got you back to blogging, but now it’s these anonymous benefactors who have facilitated your return to cyberspace. Hmmm.
While you’re back, can you please get off the topic which has essentially been “To blog or not to blog” and start writing about your financial escapades again?
-
Well the fangs came out and Casey is pissed. I expect the comments about people ILLEGALLY using his copyrighted material is a bit of a stir to the pot for Haterz.
I doubt you will find the time you seek to work on the book. When trying to get away from distractions you can’t go somewhere new. A boring cabin in the mountains with no technology is what you really need.
I make the same mistakes.
-
FIRST!
Casey, let me say that you are good guy with a good heart but can’t implement $hit properly.
I am not suggesting that you shut down the site or so on…..
Awww screw it. Its not worth telling you crap because you don’t listen. You think of everyone as a hater.
If you and your wife can make this work, you can become a millionaire / billionaire off this crap and find peace within yourself, then do so.
I do believe however, that you are trying to be an iconoclast when you don’t need to be.
Peace.
-
I kind of like the paranoid, slightly deranged tone of this post. Maybe Casey will turn into a kind of Flying Dutchman figure, circling the world hunting charity handouts from his internet fans.
The legend of the Flying Uzbek? Mommie, who’s the crazy guy with the smelly beard and yellow fingernails? Hush, child, it’s Casey Serin going to his next destination… now let me concentrate on the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest. I think Lebanon might win!
-
**entrepreneur / business guy like me**
Don’t make me laugh. A ten year old with a lemonade stand knows more about business than you do. Why not take a couple night school science classes and call yourself a nuclear scientist?
So are they feeding you and doing your laundry too? Talk about the guy that came to dinner! Your host must be in shock.
Getting that one-way ticket was pretty clever though. Maybe you’ll stay. Sure would take care of a lot of your problems — financially and domestically.
-
*I must focus on getting stuff done and producing. *
You haven’t produced a thing in your entire sad life.

Hi,
well, OZ is nice. Friendly people. Reading your publishers remarks was interesting. You have a lot of content to create for them though they could help ghost alot of it.
You will lagged for dayz. Long flight.
Post a pic of you at the beach!

G’day Mates! ™
Just up from Down under!
I can now truly be an early riser ™ because of the time change. It’s really tomorrow here today but a bunch of hours earlier! That makes me somewhat of a time traveler (which has some very sweet ™ implications as you will see below).
As many of you have guessed, it was prior commenter Ozzie Tim™ that gave me a shout ™ about coming down under for awhile™. I figured that sooner or later (can’t take the risk) I might wind up in the pokey, so it was seriously time to jet when the almost free™ plane ticket came along.
So, I didn’t run off from “those of which we cannot speak”™ and leave her penniless. Remember, the plane ticket was $950, I got $800 (almost free™ - Sweet™!), so I just too the difference ($150) from the commission that should be in the account now or sometime in the next week or 10 days™. She has about $350 in her account. Plus, “those of which we cannot speak” ™’s sister is going to let “those of which we cannot speak” ™ stay their™ awhile™ (I am pretty sure, I really haven’t been in the communication loop for awhile™, but why wouldn’t she?)
Next: Business opportunity ALERT ALERT ALERT!: Since I am now living in the future, and “those of which we cannot speak” ™ is in the past, I have a guaranteed way to pay back every dirty penny™. Simply will log onto t he Sacramento Bee website when it is Wednesday here, get the winning Lottery numbers, email them back to “those of which we cannot speak” ™, since she is in the past, it’s Tuesday when she gets them, and Viola™! We win every Lottery drawing until every dirty penny™ is paid back. Why no one has ever tried this time travel is simply beyond me.
After all of the dirty pennies™ are paid back, I can go back to my true forte™, real estate.
Oz. Ahhhhhhh. The quietest place on earth, at least according to Zagat, Fodor and Michelin. One of the guides says that “within Oceana, the quietest place, east of 165 east, and south of 30 south is noted for it’s serenity, quiet, general peacefulness and ability to sooth and refresh with only the purist of intentions, organics and mineral free qualities.” See?
So, that’s the quick wrap. Casey found a time machine™ in Oz!
-
When I told you to flee the country, I didn’t actually expect you would! Good job! The debt is no longer your problem (at least until extradition, which they probably won’t bother with.) Now you can keep all of your sweet, sweet cash to yourself!
-
so, a random ‘fan’ puts you up, for free, for as long as you want, including meals.
have you seen the film ‘hostel’ before Casey?
if you haven’t, the trick to getting out of your constraints is to to “loose” a couple of fingers when he missing your arm with the chainsaw. he’ll then slip on the blood, giving you a chance to escape!
-
I KNEW YOU BOUGHT THAT STOCK!!!! I KNEW IT!!! YOU NEED HELP BUDDY!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Dear Casey,
Why are your recent posts so long? The attention span of the average IAFF viewer isn’t 2 hours…and most of them don’t read too fast! Please have the person who is currently posting under the Casey guise try to keep it brief in the future. Thank you!

Awesome.
This has to be good for a least a couple of pulmonary embolisms among the haters.
-
*doing some massive action in business*
OMG!
Please don’t, the bank’s can’t afford any more hits.
-
I’m in complete disbelief. I started reading the blog after the msn.com drop and thought this whole thing was crazy. Somehow I got hooked into seeing what would be next. Everything was so unreal, a fictional story unfolding before my very eyes.
Now you’ve jetted off to Australia…for time and focus? I guess we’re not all that fortunate.
I wasn’t really a member of either club (supporterz or haterz) but this move definitely puts me in the haterz catagory.
-
Whats with the Starbucks coffee? Seriously. I WORK for a living and am not poor but still think Starbucks is frivilous expense.
-
Incredible how some people are able to justify incredible selfishness in their own minds. I’m sure all the debtors you’ve left behind will be glad to know you’re having a great time in Australia.
What’s even more amazing, though, is to see all the enablers out there who fuel people on, for their own motives…
Oh well, this whole episode doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know about CS.
Good luck with life on the lam,
Dave
-
Casey,
Glad to see that your blogging back again, and hope that you get some work done in Australia! -
Wow! A trip to Australia! Just a tip, don’t take flight 815 home.
-
You got to do what you got to do Casey. Finish that book, because I want to read it. Have fun in Australia.
-
I bet you’ll be just as successful with your writting career as you were with your real estate “investments”.
I think you should spend $20 or $30K for courses at the “Great Writers School before you get started.
-
Hi Casey,
Great to hear you’re in Australia!
It’s a bit cold and wet here at the moment… But it seems like it will be a good ski season… Maybe you can check out some of the slopes while you’re around?Good luck with your book writing…
-
hey i’m still a supporter! just because we’re not as loud as the haterz doesnt mean we don’t exist!!!!
ignore them casey, get your own stuff together… and please let us know you’re looking after your life and your wife!
-
yes casey, everyone is against you at this point. i think even the supporterz are just egging you on to see what kind of crazy stuff you’ll do next.
“there’s good deeds and then there’s good intentions, they’re as far apart as heaven and hell.”
and that’s giving you the benefit of the doubt that your intentions are good.
-
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
-
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” - Thomas Edison
-
Casey, I’m not against you. In fact, I sent you an email offering help. I’m happy that somebody else helped you more than I could have, although my offer still stands, or I may do something like that at some other time. But you can’t monetize a blog without comments, and how are you going to pay for your plane ticket when you return from Australia? Will you have any money by then? Please, tell us more. After all, you can’t stay in Australia forever without making any money. Even if you are welcome where you are, you are just a guest in a stranger’s home.
That being said, I entirely support your decision. You may well have needed a change of scenery, and possibly a way to assert yourself as an independent person who is now more serious about business. Don’t listen to haters. You can work hard if you really want to.
-
Casey - I hope you find peace during your stay in Australia. Don’t allow other people the power to deteriorate your self worth. If you feel you’re currently on a better path, follow your heart. You’ll never please everyone, which is why it’s crucial right now to focus on rebuilding yourself spiritually.
There are consequences to every action (and mistake). But it’s what we ultimately do with the wisdom gained from those mistakes which truly counts. Good luck.
=^..^=

One of the reasons this site is so entertaining is that many of the people who post here are completely out of touch with reality in that they think that it is acceptable to make a full-time hobby out of hating another human being.
I listened to part of the HateCast, and I fully expected William Shatner to appear at a podium saying “You! Get a life!… You! Have you ever kissed a girl? You! Move out of your parents’ basement!”
Those of you who think Casey should get a W-2 job: exactly what job would that be? Anything that pays worth a damn, he wouldn’t currently pass the background check. What is so wrong with trying to make a living from blogging and collecting ad revenue?
Honestly, I wish I could understand why people are so angry. I think I know. Casey has become a scapegoat for a your problems. I bet it burns your — that he rolled the dice, drives you nuts that he has a supportive family, and just generally infuriates you that he has such a laid-back attitude. But that’s your problem, not his.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Peace.
-
Casey, why don’t we turn the tables?
Answer this question honestly:
If you did something beneficial for someone or society that no one, maybe not even the person or people who experienced your good deed, ever knew about… how would you define the value of such a deed?
Would you consider it a waste of time? A profit opportunity wasted?
Fact is Casey, if you are a person incapable of considering the needs and wants of others, that is understandable. That is a psychological condition know variably as anti-social personality disorder, psychopathy and/or sociopathy. And the fact is, if that’s the case, it is beyond your control.
There are clinical reasons why such people exist. I offer the suggestion in the event that you might know yourself better, your strengths and - most importantly - your limitations.
-
Aren’t you worried about living with people you don’t even know half a world away?
-
Ummm… you haven’t shown the slightest inclination to do the “right thing” in all the months of this blog’s existence… Why do you think you have haterz?
-
Casey,
I’m not against you. I just think you’re a complete idiot. No offense I hope.
The only brilliant thing you’ve done is post it all on the internet. For that I thank yee. -
> Is everybody against me?
No, Casey. Everybody is not against you. What they are against is stupidity, childishness, lack of responsibility, cluelessness, posing, trolling, baiting, and other such behaviors. Don’t take it so personally!
-
I think now you are testing even your supporters’ patience. You are in desperate need of a plan to get out of the mess and I think many people believe by going to Australia you are running away from your responsibilities.
-
No, Casey, some of us are rooting for you. Ignore those losers over at EN. The obnoxious ones are the loudest.
-
Just let the comments flow. What do you have to loose?
When this temporary trip is over how do you plan to get back home? Do you have any spare cash? Are you planning another beg-a-thon?
What’s Australia like?
-
The ‘right’ thing to do is to keep monetizing the blog, GO HOME and use this money to pay your creditors. We all know that’s not going to happen. Looks like you’re not posting any comments because it’s obvious you’re getting slammed by the haterz now.
Ay ay mate.
-
Rumor is that East Coast Mentor is going to get outed, so to speak. Steal the thunder from the Haterz and post about it first.
-
I think it’s called “hypophora”…where, instead of answering questions directly, the speaker makes up the questions he wants to answer and then proceeds to answer them. It’s so freaking annoying.
-
If the nice people in AUS will keep you, start a new credit file there, and raise some capital down there. the AUD has strengthened alot the past year. You might need to become a citizen, but don’t pass up the potential for sweet free money. Don’t forget, there are lots of hot babes down there too.
-
You are the world’s biggest narcissus (however one spells it).
You really don’t deserve anything good to happen to you. Now you run away and hide.
You are a pathetic loser. Folks, please, let’s not visit this sight very often. Why give him money??
Maybe once every two weeks or so..
LOOOOOOOSER.
-
I know this likely won’t get published, considering how highly moderated your comments are, but there is only one thing to say in response to this…
What a waste of time.
-
The right thing is to work two jobs for the next 20 years, sharing a studio apartment, and pay back all the money you owe other people.
What’s so hard to understand?
-
Casey, it’s all good!
Did you pack the bag with the loot?
-
Come on Casey. Give us something interesting.. Your supporters are getting bored.
-
We’re not all against you
People are just meaner on the internet and will say rude s*** because there is no face to face confrontation. I think you take the stuff haterz say way too seriously. They’re just having fun (I suppose at your expense).
-Graceee
-
Just TAKE OFF the moderation. Let everyone post freely. You really don’t have ANYTHING to loose at this point here. It can’t be any worse that what’s up at EN can it? It’s all out there already so you might as well give people a reason to spend time here at IAFF, and the ONLY thing that will do that is instant gratification of unmoderated blogging.
-
Keep Cool Dude and if you are right, things will turn the way you want…..Keep saying “Never Never Give Up”
-
Dude…you broke the law.
You should be paying off your debts by stamping liscense plates at Folsom.
not a hater…just a realist.
Oh…btw…instead of buying Jamba Juices…make them yourself.
recipe.
10oz fruit juice.
frozen fruit 1 1/2 scoops (like the metal scoops in food bins)
sherbet 1 1/2 scoops (like the metal scoops at baskin robbins)
1/2 banana
bit of ice.the secret is the frozen fruit.
I never liked Kirk Perron anyways.
-
hey man keep your head up! I look forward to reading your blog so it’s cool that it’s back running again! take it easy and just brush the haters off your shoulder, you’ll make it big eventually and you’ll have the last laugh
-
Holy shizz…where in Australia are you?
-
Wow, Australia!
Nice!
An adventure you’ll always remember - don’t forget that - try to enjoy a little of it!
-
If you really want to do the right thing - go find a psychiatrist. You are in desparate need - not of money, but of mental help.
-
hey, not to mention, you’re really good looking. why sweat anything when you look as good as you do. That also has lots of people angry. Take a look at some of the faces on the morning commute. Trust me there aren’t too many Casey’s in the mix. There’s no angry like ugly angry. You should divorce your wife and become a model. Paris Hilton’s star is crashing, Casey could be next.
-
hay some of us readers live in OZ too u know, let us know where u are located! I’m guessing Blue Mountains….
Email me if you want a free meal (or a starbucks (or a real Italian) coffee)…. -
I LOVE YOU!
-
*Is everybody against me? *
Yes
*I just want to do the right thing*
1. Go home
2. Get a J.O.B.
3. File BK -
The comments are what make the blog. Without them this blog will die.

Hi Casey,
I just found your site via CNET news.com. I appreciate your honesty throughout your trials right now. Go to God, and seek His guidance.
My wife and I are a young couple (though married 6 years now, we got married very young) and we accrued some debt in the beginning (school loans, maxed credit cards, family loans, car loans, etc…). We eventually grew tired of debt and resolved to focus on diminishing it (through prayer and steadfastness).
My prayer is to be neither rich nor poor (there is a Proverb about this). Financial freedom is something admirable to strive for. You took some risks, they didn’t work out. Life will go on.
Maybe you should consider bringing your wife over to Australia. The support a wife grants is amazing and important. My wife has stuck with me through think and thin (even moving across the country twice in a matter of a few months). She has assisted me with my musical endeavors, and is a constant encouragement.
I don’t know your whole story, and fact is, this is the blog entry I have read of yours.
Go as God convicts you, not as man.
-
Casey,
I in response to comment #3 here, I don’t think “everybody is against you.” However, you have to consider that your supporters had admiration for you because you put yourself out here on a public stage, theoretically to be some help to other people. The problem is, your recent actions seem to indicate that Casey really only cares about Casey. All of this “business” stuff that you’re working on has taken your attention away from the blog and the people that got you here by supporting you. Now, after they helped make you famous (which you’ve parlayed into a nice ad campaign), you’re asking them to wait around and then pay you for the privilege of the “rest of the story.” Understandably, this is rubbing many of those people the wrong way.
I’m not sure what the answer is, because you quite obviously have some obligations to meet and are trying to do that. Nevertheless, as you pursue that goal, remember, no man is an island. If you start to treat your audience poorly, it is likely your fan-base will dry up. Without fans, a publishing deal isn’t gonna do you a whole lot of good is it?
-
“Is everybody against me? Regardless of all the mistakes, at this point I just want to do the right thing. Whatever that is.”
LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEN.
Why are you always so certain that you are in the right? Do you really think that you are smarter than everyone else in the world?
YOU ARE NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING.
-
No, not everyone is against you. To have racked up the property and debts you did at such a young age shows you have a lot of moxey — and now are trying to find a way to pay them off — by a big strike, yet even. That takes balls! A lot of courage and fortitude.
Some years back Time magazine did a feature on 13 self-made millionaires [nowadays that would be billionaires]. The one thing they ALL had in common was at least bankruptcy behind them — some two. Before they picked up their marbles, took a different direction, learned from the flaws in their first plans — and made it big the second or third time.
To succeed means taking gambles, as you obviously do if you play hold ‘em. So don’t be bitter. Ignore your critics. Unless they’re Bil Gates,, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet or men of that calibre who are willing to offer positive suggestions on where to go from here.
You will fail at probably more things than you succeed at. But that’s what life is all about. It’s not how far you fall, but how high bounce.
Take your time to reflect on where the mistakes were made this time. Perhaps writing the book will give you the insight you need when the words are staring you in the face.
Keep your heart, your optimism, and above all, your courage. And if your wife is willing to stick by you, has faith and belief in you, no matter what your balance sheet says now, you are already a very wealthy man.
Good luck to you.
-
Is everybody against me?
Yes. You betrayed the trust of the American people by abusing the system.
Regardless of all the mistakes, at this point I just want to do the right thing. Whatever that is.
The right thing is to pay back every dirty penny and stop incurring more debt until you do so.
Love,
Hater
P.S. Also not to take expensive vacations to Australia and Lake Tahoe while you should be working.
P.P.S. Also…get a job! -
We didn’t know there was an “Australia” in Sacramento. Is that Australia Avenue, or Australia Boulevard?
-
Hey Casey,
I’m sorry to hear about your business losses.
I had a very successful business only to lose it during the dot.com era. At the same time, my wife divorced me and tried to take my kids away. I was unemployed and had to support my wife (who refused to work) and the kids.
Needless to say, I was quickly in debt; $80,000.
There are many simliar stories out there right now…
But when its you who are going through it, it feels like you are alone.I understand what you are trying to do and why. I don’t necessarily agree with everything you’ve done, but it seems like you’re trying to set things right and I wish you the best.
I mean this in the most respectful way possible - my advice: Go home. Be with your wife. Face your trouble head on. It may seem that you need to go away to rid yourself of your distractions, but it really sounds like you are trying to escape.
Encouragement: one of the greatest examples of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Read his life’s story. Below is only a small (and pathetic) example of his life. It’s not entirely accurate, but it is a starting point:
1816 His family was forced out of their home. He had to work to support them.
1818 His mother died.
1831 Failed in business.
1832 Ran for state legislature - lost.
l832 Also lost his job - wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in.
1833 Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.
1834 Ran for state legislature again - won.
1835 Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken.
1836 Had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months.
1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature - defeated.
1840 Sought to become elector - defeated.
1843 Ran for Congress - lost.
1846 Ran for Congress again - this time he won - went to Washington and did a good job.
1848 Ran for re-election to Congress - lost.
1849 Sought the job of land officer in his home state - rejected.
1854 Ran for Senate of the United States - lost.
1856 Sought the Vice-Presidential nomination at his party’s national convention - get less than 100 votes.
1858 Ran for U.S. Senate again - again he lost.
1860 Elected president of the United States.
————-
Hope this helps.

I just have one question for you Casey;
How do you expect to keep your blog up and popular with all the traffic if you are doing nothing with it? You have not added any comments in 3 days. This is what frustrates people about you and why you think they hate you. Instead of taking care of your business you are in Australia and acting like you don’t care about your business. Success is hard work and if you want to achieve you must snap out of this daze and confusion your in. If it overwhelms you then take a moment a reevaluate what you are doing. Maybe success is not for you. Maybe the pressure is too much and you can not handle it. I would suggest that if you can not handle all the pressure to get out. Get that w-2 job and be done with it. If you are a person who wants success and to be self employed making good money, then start acting like it and take care of business. This blog is part of your business. Without it you would not be known and you would not have the opportunities you have. So stop whining about the haters, stop making excuses as to why you are not doing things, suck it up and move on. Believe it or not there are people cheering for you and want to see you make it, but if you keep doing all this nonsense you will lose any support you ever had. People want to find there own strengths in someone else. You are other people’s strength. They want to see you succeed because then they believe in there lives they to can achieve there goals. They want to see you write about your miseries because then there lives don’t feel so bad. I hope you start making some solid decisions in the near future and follow them.

Casey: I enjoy reading your blog. I was actually bummed when it was shut down last week! I am a middle aged successful mortgage banker that has seen both the ups and downs of the real estate market. Don’t get so down on yourself. Think about this: You are just 24 and have gone through more than most people go through in their entire lives financially. Don’t totally hold yourself to blame for your past borrowing actions.I’ve seen the other side and the investors and banks made it way to easy to borrow money and went along with the dog and pony show because everyone was making money. The flippers, the brokers and bankers, Wall Street and just about anyone that had anything to do with home sales. Now the show has stopped, similiar to Nasdaq 2000 and everyone is pointing the finger at someone to blame. Just as everyone held the brokerage analysts responsible in 2000 when the stock market crashed, someone has to be blamed for the latest crisis. Your blog has made you a world reknown public figure, something pretty amazing to acomplish at the age of 24! Stop worrying what other people think. Make your own decisions and find people that you can trust. Take full advantage of your blog’s exposure and use it to start making money. Just keep the content relevant and up to date and people will keep reading which will in turn allow you to command higher and higher advertising and sponsorship fees. Write your book! It will sell as long as the blog is doing well. A word of advice: Timing is everything in life. I can’t say when but someday will come when the real estate market turns around and the foreclosure buzz will be as old as the Stock market crash of 2000. Just take advantage of the situation while you can and the buzz is still there. Just remember, money is important but family is even more so. Best of luck to you!
-
Some things I’m curious about and I think many others are:
You say you didn’t know you were going to Australia until the night before. How did you manage to get the visa to visit Australia in that short notice?
-
Hey Mate - if you’re running a blog you need to be moderating your comments ! and writing stuff !!
You dont know what its like Casey at this W2 job to be paid to actually work - as opposed to reading your blog. Please dont be so selfish and help me.
So Casey - how many Kangaroos have you seen ?
Loads O Money
-
you’ve got everyone exactly where you wanted them Ton’s of attention, media interviews, etc.
brilliant.
-
Casey,
I skimmed your blog and I read that article about you in USA Today. I’m finishing my Master’s, so I don’t hear about internet trends like the apparent attention your blog gets.
Anyway, I really think that if your publisher thinks they’re going to make a lot of money off your book, it would have been no problem for them to shell out $900 to you to help you cool off for a short while. But I telecommute myself, and I have to say that your location makes no difference if you’re writing an online blog or developing things online. Being a web developer, I’m sure you know this. Whereever you go, there you are. A trip to Australia seems unnecessary.
Additionally, after reading the article about you in USA today, I noticed a trend that I’m not sure if your “haters” mentioned (like I have time to read comments). I had a couple of friends with gambling problems. Instead of poker, it appears yours is houses. All the same behaviors are there– the feeling that if you do one more deal you can make it right, covering errors and making up for money owed with credit cards. This has to have occured to you by now. Seriously. Just declare bankruptcy and get a therapist. You’re not an expert on flipping or foreclosure, you’re just a kid with a gambling problem. (or a very clever internet fraud, one of the two.)
-
The Haterz just have too much time on there hands. You do what you have to do to make your life what you want it to be. Plain and simple. No judgements here, even if I do disagree with a lot of your actions. Its not my life, its yours.
-
I really appreciate your attempts to overcome your problems. Your recent actions are inspiring to me. You are a great guy, in my perception; coz, you dare to speak out your own mistakes and problems. All of us, you, me and all those who are bad-mouthing you, know that only courageous and truthful person can do that.
I am a Software Developer by profession. I am not sure, if I could help you something on your mission to overcome your debts. If you think, I can be useful for ANYTHING, be sure, I would be always ready for you.
-
RELEASE THE F****** COMMENTS ALREADY, FANCY BOY!!!!
-
Keep going Casey. Opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like this and I applaud your courage. Just because you handle things differenty than I would doesn’t make it wrong. I can’t imagine being young and taking chances, then putting yourself out there for all the world to critique.
Stay focused on the truth - there are people learning from you and the haterz just don’t matter. Theft is theft and people will get theirs ….
Hang in there.
-
What a cotton picking minute. Austrailia huh? Why Austrailia. Seems a bit shaddy and risky, even for risk taker like you Serin. Why not a state over or two states over. What if a family member gets sick or there is some urgent business to attend to? You bought a one way ticket buddy. I smell a fugitive. Do you think the long arm of the law can’t reach to the land downunder, where women roar and men pay thier debts or do the time. But anywho, its probably a good move. They will not come after you out there and plus you’ll have a new life with new opporutnities with a sweet jump start by selling the book from Austrailia out of the reach of uncle sam. Well done.
-
I knew you’d finally take my advice and leave the country. Now your free and you get to start fresh again; forget all your “debt” and “problems,” they don’t exist anymore. You have a golden ticket and you are free to start again! Don’t throw this away man! Keep doing your thing and you’ll end up getting what you want!!! Good luck!
-
G’Day Casey:
Did you leave your number for Cash Call to Call you Down Under?
-
Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me -
Wow, you’re in Australia? How long are you going to be in the country for?
Are you going to be making any public appearance or speeches to promote your book? I’d quite like to hear you speak. Let us know.
-
You said:
“Regardless of all the mistakes, at this point I just want to do the right thing. Whatever that is.”
Certainly, Casey, the right thing to be doing is spending your money and time on plane tickets to Australia and Starbuck’s coffee. It’s so valiant.
-
Casey my offer is still good if you want me to moderate. Just tell me the rules.
-
Hey Casey…just found out about you. I had some similar problems as you but on a much smaller level. Got involved with a predatory lender, got into a mortgage I couldn’t afford and lost the house to foreclosure. You aren’t alone man, and I know there are tons of people going through the same problems…I just think its sad that people single you out and are trying to keep you down. It may be unpopular but you have my support!
-
Yes Casey i’d say most people are against you. You’re a spectacle much like a car wreck on the side of the road. People drive slowly to see the mangled body show - very few actually hope the people are ok because that would not be very entertaining. These are your “haterz” as you put it.
-
I can very much agree with you here. I beleive you are trying, and succeseding at doing the right thing. I hope all of this works out to your best interest here.
-
Just kidding, I did that to prove the point that I am not a hatter; to tell you the truth I find your blog very informative(honestly), like most people I vent by writing abserd comments, Thanks for having such thick skin. I’ll try to leave nicer posts in the future… Enjoy! You Rock

I’m not sure you are in Australia. They would not let you in the country with a one-way ticket, or without proof you can support yourself for the length of your visa. Also, it normally takes a while to get an Australian visa. You just don’t hop on a plane last Wednesday.

Nice one. Australia’s the best place in the world!

Hello Casey,
I have never walked in your shoes I have also experienced hard times, even now almost 2 years later after s*** hit the fan we are still fighting back, the world is known for it’s back talking and back stabbing, you must remember that people loves to talk s*** and especially about someone that is down on their luck, I guess that there is not a lot to say to make one feel better about their situation except from that hard work always pays off, sadly today people loves people with money no matter how s*** personality they might have, at the end of the day only you know the truth only you have the right to judge someone else unless they have walked in your shoes.
Keep on going and don’t let people get to you, my biggest problem at times was to keep my head up high and look into the future, I let people drag me down but not any more, if they want to try now then speak to my lawyer he got a few things to say
I would like to help out but I am not sure if I can be a moderator, I am on the move constantly so I would suck big time as a moderator but if you need someone to speak to then I am always available.
Regards

Casey, didn’t you just go to lake tahoe? Do you need a vacation every 2 weeks?
-
Casy,
you said that the “Canuck” gave you $1000 CDN which only equalled $800 USD for the plane ticket to Australia.
i don’t understand how you recieved only $800 USD?
today’s exchange rate is 1 CAD = 0.936231 USD
thus 1,000.00 Canuck money = 936.231 USD not 800 USD -
Has your “friend” come on to you yet?
Hold onto your passport. Make sure you have a way out of there.
There’s no free lunches in this world Casey. You should have learned that by now.
Wake up Casey. Wake up.
-
you know what? I used to think you’re a douchbag, but I’m starting to change my mind.
You made some stupid choices in the past, but who haven’t?
-
Hey Casey,
Don’t let those freakin’ haterz get you down! I, for one, am one of ur biggest supporterz! Where do these loosers get off cretinizing you, when they havent even tried to fail yet!
You’ve tried to fail and you’ve suceeded bigtime! Keep fallin- forward buddy! were rootin for you!
-
Congrats on Australia…What is your plan for getting home? Or did you forget to think ahead again?

@129 James
Great post and great example.

Hey Kid:
“For now… why in the WORLD am I in Australia?”
Don’t you know, kid?
We all have a pretty good idea of why you’re there.I gotta admit Buckaroo, you tossed me a curve , I always suspected it would end with a night flight to Uzbekistan.
And here you chose Oz.
(Can’t fault your taste there, little hobbit).
But the person who you should REALLY ask of what you are doing in Australia is that “Canadian” that sent you the money.
You sure that there IS a “mystery Canadian”, right?
You never COULD seem to see what the other fella was getting ot of the deal, could you?
What have you got that anyone would want, hobbit? Something you left behind…something that more than one person has expressed extreme interest in.
Hmmm.
One wonders if it’s a strange Canadian hobby to fund trips for dullards to travel halfway around the world…on one-way tickets!
Take lots of pictures kid, share the fun with all of us W-2 loosers, your Haterz and your Sporterz

I’ve been in Australia once, more than 20 years ago (and I am French) That was before the Mean@Work song (so ok, that is more like 25 years), but I clearly remember high school student asking me:
“- What do you do when an Elephant come through the window?
- Eww, I say Hello ?”The right answer was “I swim”
So, Casey, let me ask you:
“How will you come in a land down under ?”
-
Dude, you do have an agent, right? ‘Cause I see a huge future for you if you play this right. You got presence, you got balls, you got the looks. Right off the bat I’m thinking “reality show” here. Okay we all know the other shows are fake but you are the “real deal” and you’ve got a “real story.” You have lived this nightmare and it begs to be dramatized. Get off this piddling blog and in front of the camera. America wants to throw money at you. If you just w**** yourself out enough, you can be the next celebutard. I’m talking millions here buddy. Drop me a line if you want to hook up with a good agent and manager. Definitely count me as one of your “supporterz.”
-
Casey,
Help me understand something. I understand where you go the money for the flight out there. But how about the return flight? How were you planning on getting home? -
Ok, so these people say you can not do it, but
how can someone say or proof can not, right?It’s like saying no that does not exist, but how
can they know it does not exist, because it’s what
you make from your mind, and it does exist not
as stuff but as thought-things. So how can someone
denie that, when they don’t know it or just because
they can not physically touch it.So you should just ignore them, and in your mind then
they don’t exist, so they can’t prove they do and it repeats
itself. -
Is this the same blog? Am I in the right place? It sounds like all of Casey’s relatives are posting. No one else would write that s**t. I have never seen this blog so pansey and supportive of your incorrigibleness. Something isn’t real here.
It looks like all the original, intelligent posters are gone.@”114. Gurudatt Shenoy

Keep Cool Dude and if you are right, things will turn the way you want…..Keep saying “Never Never Give Up”
That’s what the lender’s were saying to themselves when they were processing Casey’s phony loan docs.He was in the process of beating another lender out of their money when he got googled and denied a loan.
Stop calling this all a mistake.
What Casey did is no mistake. He pulled out the cash from those overly-inflated houses and walked away. That is a felony. It was deliberate. It was not a mistake. He has lots of support lately for his past and present actions and not necessarily from strangers on this blog
Hello?I don’t think you went alone to Australia if you know what I mean. We just can’t mention their name.
So you won’t be coming back. You skipped to Australia to beat the heat. (FEDS) Where in Australia did you say you were? Only you would go to Australia during their winter cold season. This is NOT a vacation.
That is an old scam for which the culprits have paid for these crimes with jailtime and huge fines.
So a certain someone is going to sic a lawyer on the so-called haterz on Monday? They better have alot of money for the counter suit and more legal problems back firing.
Many of us have alot of money to counter.
And Mocha chocolate male b**** complete with squeaky voice…you are the hater here. You come onto Casey’s blog and threaten people. You display violent language towards others and threaten physical harm. Casey needs to loose you. You are bad for his publicity.The people who have grudges on Casey are the lenders and AE’s who lost their jobs because of Casey et al. Open your eyes for once and you’ll see they are your biggest haterz and threat.
No one is trustworthy so do your own moderation Casey. At least that way, your blog won’t be as sterile as it has been lately with your new moderator..anyone care to guess who it is? Don’t say the name…just hint at it bloggers. We have to honor Casey’s request not to mention her.
-
They’re all begrudgers Casey. You are actually begining to suceed in making some money and your readers hate that.
Keep up the good work, you’re an inspiration to a lot of us entrepreneurs out there!
-
You don’t even know what the ‘right thing’ is anymore.
This is such BS and going to Australia was probably the most stupid and irresponsible thing you’ve ever done.Talk abost wasting time doing absolutely nothing to make your situation better. It’s pathetic to see.

Building off details from an above post:
$1000 CDN Casey received from generous Canadian Fan
1 CDN = 0.936231 USD (Todays exchange Rate)$936.231 USD Casey actually received
-$800 USD Casey claims to have received
—————-
=$136.231 Casey spends on Starbucks Wheatgrass drinks -
The guys over at “The Man Blog” have Caseys back. When it’s time for war, we are the ones pissing on fire… That made no sense, we REALLY need to stop drinking.
-
He looks his age and you’re an a****** on the last comment! Every selfish looser that has something to say should go on with their miserable f****** life and leave Casey to do what he does best… USE HIS BRAIN!!! Something that you imbaciles don’t have!!!
Period.
-
Good luck to you.

…comment 171 was meant for the first comment

Until you can learn how to spell “imbecile,” I think you have little right to call someone else by such a name.
Casey,
My husband just left for Australia today for a business trip– for his looser W-2 job. He has a stopover in Sydney. Maybe the two of you can go for some Starbuck’s wheatgrass shots. He may also have some looser W-2 tips for you.
-
eebee,
Unfortunately, I knew that I spelled imbecile wrong and that some other looser was going to try and correct me… Well, you were the first to do so… hope you wet your pants on that one hun.

“Why are people treating me like a criminal for trying to share my story for other people’s benefit and trying to make a buck or two from it?”
Because you committed crimes and it is illegal to profit from a criminal action. Truly, we are jealous because we don’t have the balls to commit crimes in plain view and expect to get paid from them. We are jealous because you seem to be skipping the ‘punishment’ stage in Crime & Punishment. We are envious because while we abide by the law and suffer in mediocrity you flaunt your law breaking and expect millions!
How would you feel if I were publishing a blog where I bragged about stealing peoples cars, breaking into their houses and taking jewelry and all of a sudden I decide to ‘come clean’, giving all that I’ve stolen back to the victims _ACCEPT_ for the profit I’ve taken buy selling the details of the crimes?
You have no sense of justice Casey. Of course, you’re getting most of your inspiration and all of your morality from religions that tell you it’s alright to lie, cheat and steal as long as you ask for forgiveness as soon as your caught.

Get a job for a while and work on sweet deals part time until you figure out what you are actually good at.
