This crazy adventure just keeps getting better and better. It all started when somebody leaked my secret trip to Australia. Then thanks to Declan it got out on CNet and other places. Then thanks to Stephen Hutcheon Sydney Morning Herald picked up the story, then a local radio station this morning and there are more great opportunities in the works. (Oh and thanks to Jon Ronson the BBC Radio finally aired my foreclosure story, recorded a month ago.)
How does all this exposure help me??
Well with more exposure to this blog and my upcoming The Foreclosure Code book, I can get my foreclosure story out and help more people learn what NOT to do in Real Estate Investing.
Also, more exposure = more traffic = more advertising revenue = money to live on and start paying back debt.
My advertisers benefit by getting traffic, brand recognition and SEO benefit. It’s a win-win!

Now 25 Sweet Links!
Yes, as you can see, I decided to expand the Sweet Link section to 25 spots. There was so much demand that even with at higher price of $150/mo I still had too many people wanting a spot. I didn’t want to continue turning good advertisers away and I can definitely use some stable income right now. That said, I have no future plans to expand the Sweet Links in order to give everybody good value and keep the focus high. Thank you for your understanding!
Financial Transperancy…
I’m still renewing all my old advertisers so I don’t have an accurate monthly figure yet. As always I will continue being very open and transparent with my finances.
I’m thinking of talking more about what I’m spending money on while traveling. (I’m actually not spending very much at all). That way both supporterz and haterz will see that I’m doing a good thing through all this. I can’t talk about my family situation right now to respect their feelings. So at least I can keep the financial side as organic as possible.
As I travel the world I am also able to send money home and start paying down my debt! They can’t keep me down!
Truly a blessing. With the Foreclosure Code book coming out next month I will have even more money to commit toward debt. After some roadblocks and distractions, the book and other things are finally starting to come around!
Many people out there want me to fail and even now continue to try to shut me down and sabotage my plans to make money in a positive way. You would think these people might be happy for me and would support my efforts to make a comeback. Not a chance. But I don’t really care. I know I have many supporters here who are praying that I succeed. Thank you for that!
Here is what I’m thinking…
I will live on $1,000/mo and send another $1,000/mo home while I’m away. Anything on top of that will go toward paying off debt.
I’m still playing with the figures but I’m excited about this. I’ve been talking about paying off every dirty penny long enough!!
I’m getting more stable cashflow going it’s almost time to start calling my lenders and negotiate some kind of repayment plans.
Sweet!
More countries before going home?
Hey, if I can get a place to stay and have some exposure in other country maybe I can make a few stops on the way back home. I’ve been offered places all over the world. Thank you for that! But it’s too early to tell what will happen next. I’m just kind of living it one-day-at-a-time.
I’m looking forward to returning home from my world travels with more money and cashflow then before I left. It feels great to not be going back empty-handed! Again, thanks to my advertisers, friends and all the supporters out there! Good things are coming!!
. . .
By the way, I was in Brisbane last couple of days checking out the city and meeting a local supporter or two. Should be back in Sydney area this weekend. While in Brisbane I got to tour the XXXX beer factory. It was pretty cool. Will post more Australian pictures and tell more stories soon.

The hugely unconvincing thing which marks you out as genuine is lack of evidence. I sincerely want you to prove people wrong and turn this into a genuinely happy ending.
But the longer you delay giving some specific evidence of intention, your words sound hollow.
Letting your audience know you have paid something to your creditors, and perhaps backing that up with some real evidence will perhaps give you a chance of one day being able to sleep easy and without the worry I suspect you have (have you run away?).
I went bust. I have been told to go bankrupt. But I’m fighting - purely to get some dignity back. I have written to creditors, made offers, met with them.
I don’t have to. But if I don’t I will feel like I have run away from my responsibilities.
Please - the evidence - you will win an audience. Heck, you may even convert the haterz sufficiently to buy your book one day. And you know that’s a huge audience.

I think you’re bluffing . . . I’ll check into it.

Your writing, with the headlines, is looking more and more like Marty’s…
June 21st, 2007 at 2:05 am
Casey, are you buying sweet juicy Australian real estates?
June 21st, 2007 at 2:06 am
You do realize that Jon Ronson is making fun of you?
June 21st, 2007 at 2:46 am
I very much doubt that the book and internet ads will generate enough money to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars. You are - once again - being way too optimistic. It is good news of course that you’re making money, or at least have a somewhat realistic prospect of doing so.
Internet ads won’t last forever though.
June 21st, 2007 at 3:04 am
Hey, Casey I have been following your blogging site for sometime now. And if you want I will host your blogging site for you. Just give me a ring and I will make it happen, have a good one.

looking forward to seeing the book!
so how did you get kicked out of the place?
June 21st, 2007 at 4:23 am
did you find someone to help pay for the rest of your trip?
June 21st, 2007 at 4:35 am
‘…full-time W2 job and unfortunately is not able to come on this trip….’
That’s the thing about W-2 jobs - there just isn’t the chance to simply travel the world, finding sweet deals (and the occasional unappetizing breakfast).
I still wonder why more people trapped in that W-2 world can’t sample the freedom you have been enjoying till now.
Maybe the reason will become clearer at some point, but for now, it seems unimaginable.
June 21st, 2007 at 5:19 am
Casey, you do realize that Jon Ronson is a professional provocateur who specializes in interviewing eccentrics and lunatics and getting them to condemn themselves out of their own mouths?
What am I saying? Of course you did - he’s easy enough to research (he has a hefty Wikipedia entry) and you naturally did all necessary due diligence before letting him interview you…
…didn’t you?
June 21st, 2007 at 5:28 am
Good Work Casey… More sweet sponsors = more cashflow!
ASW: Gold!

June 21st, 2007 at 5:38 am
So the blog has become a travel blog and scrapbook?
Content is in decline, I give it a few more days until a few more of us check out for good.
June 21st, 2007 at 6:02 am
Great post! Good for you man. Don’t let the haterz get you down. Things are looking up!
June 21st, 2007 at 6:12 am
Sending $1,000 a month in the mail?
What happened to $1,000 a week — on the kitchen table?
June 21st, 2007 at 6:12 am
If you really think about it, the haterz are just like a pimple on your butt. Just an irritation. I’m sure there are far more supportez out there, than haters. Plus they are actually helping you get publicity.
June 21st, 2007 at 6:20 am
It puts the lotion in the murse!!!!
June 21st, 2007 at 6:39 am
Hey Casey - is paying off your debt such a wise thing now, if you cannot pay off the majority of it ?
All you are doing is restarting the clock for the length of time it takes for the items to drop from your credit report and be written off.
Have you researched bankruptcy ? Why isnt that an option ?
Loads O Money
June 21st, 2007 at 7:49 am
Good work Casey… a smart move to add more links and congrats on another premium sponsor. One post a day on the blog, and quick comment moderation, and you will daily be closer to achieving your turnaround goals.
June 21st, 2007 at 7:50 am
Translation: You’re hiding out from the law, looking for victims to scam overseas.
Beware kiddies… or outlaw Casey will come to your town, with a murse in the hand, coiffed hair, and a flaming pink shirt on.
The haterz must be seathing with anger. As for myself, I’m mildly amused at the lenghts you go to avoid an honest days labor.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:05 am
You just keep wiring money back to the states. I’m sure the family will be more than happy to know where you are.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:09 am
Geez dude, this is getting real boring real quick. No content, no info, no nothing except flogging the ads. Pretty lame man. Is this it? Can’t do better than this? You used to be a bit of fun, but right now I could write this sh*t to myself and it would be more interesting. Get with it, dude, or give it up.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:11 am
I just wanted to let you know Casey that you are also helping me STAY out of foreclosure. It took me 30 years to get a home, then we finally got one in March of this year. But we were not smart enough to get a 30 year fixed since we only qualified for a interest only loan. Well to make this short, our payment is high, so I have to work online which is hard, to make our ends meet. Anyway, I just wanted to Thank you and the Supporterz and the haterz for helping me. As you can see no one has to pay money to help me just sign up. So Thank you everybody and I will keep you all posted.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:19 am
Who are you and what have you done with Casey?
June 21st, 2007 at 8:28 am
Casey,
So why are you suddenly renewing your interest in paying back your debts? Did Cashcall come knocking?
Also, how come you never reply to comments anymore? What’s the point of even having commenting if your not going to respond in any way?
I hate to say it Casey, but your blog is losing it’s personality. All your posts are becoming nothing but troll bait without ever any pay off. It’s sad to say but the haterz site’s seem to be blogging more about your life than you do anymore.
Doesn’t that bother you at all?
June 21st, 2007 at 8:28 am
Going to Australia from the US hardly counts as world travels. Try going somewhere where they don’t spean english.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:41 am
I agree that paying off debt is just resetting the clock, so, from a financial point of view, it is better not to pay the debt that can’t be paid. And the reason bankruptcy is not a good idea is that some debt probably cannot be discharged but could lead to legal problems because it was obtained by committing fraud, and bankruptcy may just be a way to provide proof from one of the parties involved (as opposed to information that, legally, may still be somewhat questionable and second-hand). Of course, paying rich companies that charge high interest rates may indeed be a bad idea. But paying back any individuals or small companies, or Casey’s corporation, is a completely different matter. People and small companies may need the money, and taking money out of a corporation that is not making money was a questionable practice, so paying that is a good idea.
By the way, I’m not saying that you should now be like Imelda Marcos and her 2000 pairs of shoes, but you may want to stock up within reason on the goods that cannot be seized or sold, even in case of bankruptcy. For instance, you can keep ordinary clothes or shoes, things like bed linen and some household goods, and if you don’t overdo it, getting a better wardrobe would not be considered unreasonable. On the other hand, once the money for that is seized or paid, you can’t say that you only have three shirts and a pair of pants and that the creditors should give you money to pay for more. It is up to you to see what the exemptions are and take advantage of them without actually abusing the system.

Please start hitchhiking in the Outback. Take rides from superficially pleasant, but oddly aloof, 20-40 year-old caucasian males with white vans and too many air fresheners dangling from the rearview mirrors.
June 21st, 2007 at 9:00 am
Casey,
Dude, I’ve been reading your blog for a while (far too long probably), and this is clearly not you writing this. Did you sell the blog?
June 21st, 2007 at 9:10 am
Hey Casey, lots of haters are starting to envy you now. If we do some mental calculations you must be almost earning enough to pay all interest and live with some, AND send money home!
Great story is this!! keep going man you deserve this.
And the book is comming! what a great story
June 21st, 2007 at 9:13 am
Oh my Svetogorsk, I just looked up Ronson in Wikipedia. You’re 100% correct.
I sincerely doubt Casey knew this before he did the inteview.
Even if he had I think we both know it wouldn’t have made any difference to him.
Casey doesn’t care if interviwers praise him, mock him, or even insult him to his face; in Casey’s world, ANY pubilicity is good publicity.
June 21st, 2007 at 9:52 am
So what is keeping your creditors from seizing your website as partial payment for what you owe? If someone owed me millions of dollars and was starting to make a few thousand each month from their website, I’d try to get my hands on it.
Hope it works out ok.
June 21st, 2007 at 9:59 am
Hey, do you need to pay Australian income taxes on the money you’re earning in Australia from Australian companies?
Also, did you ever get a Sacramento business license?
June 21st, 2007 at 10:00 am
So how much debt have you paid off so far? Without the penny stock and this trip, how much more could you have paid off?
June 21st, 2007 at 10:10 am
Yawn. More hollow optimism in an attempt to inflame critics and drive up traffic. I am so done here.
June 21st, 2007 at 10:24 am
“Sending $1,000 a month in the mail?
What happened to $1,000 a week — on the kitchen table?”
Casey is leveraging™ the fact that he ran away from home. Either way, it’s a win-win!
June 21st, 2007 at 10:28 am
I thought the book cover was just a joke to get people commenting. That cover is ridiculous. I imagine that the general public would look at the cover and think it was a parody.
June 21st, 2007 at 10:40 am
Maybe $1000 a week on the table was meant to pay off bills. Also, if he freeloads for room and board, it would cut food expenses. Eh, there is an element of sanity in this plan to bring in $2250/month on advertising.
I do think that assuming that the $1000 and offer to stay in Australia meant only a couple hundred out of pocket was erroneous. The $1000 was HIS regardless of Australia. That $1000 could have been spent to pay bills or any other thing.
Maybe it was a “…Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”, so he moved to Australia.
June 21st, 2007 at 10:42 am
It seems that “somebody” has already been contacting your creditors…namely CashCall. It also seems that CC is pissed at “somebody” and you don’t seem to give half a s*** .
June 21st, 2007 at 11:17 am
Casey is not like Frank Abagnale, first off Frank stole much much more than Casey and Frank knew when to quit, it’s just he was too well known. Frank could also find new schemes to support his lifestyle and kept a very very large savings in various safe deposit boxes and in his luggage. Casey has run out of ways to scheme money and has no savings and does not know when to quit bragging about stealing money from creditors. Frank was caught when a former girlfriend pointed him out while he was in hiding, Casey will give you his home address and a bible about his crimes.

I know I supposed to be dead, but, what the hell? So is this blog.
By the way, some other sorry souls on this side would like to know what happened to the Utah payment.

June 21st, 2007 at 11:59 am
MONICA,
I’m glad to see you state in your post that Casey obtained his debt through fraud. If enough people say this maybe Casey will stop bouncing around this subject and admit head-on, without rationalizations and wiggle words, that he did commit fraud.
I don’t know why, though, you keep posting these posts saying things about Casey not being able to pay off his debt.
Fact is, if Casey really wanted to, he could pay off his debt, and I don’t mean through “Sweet deals” I mean through a normal “W2″ job.
The idea that only through a “sweet deal” could Casey repay his debts has always been Casey’s assertion and his stated reason for not getting a “W2″ job .
This is utter garbage. Don’t believe it.
If Casey had wanted to he could have repayed his debts with a “W2″ job. If Casey had contacted his creditors and begun negotiating with them right away; if he did not take on any other debt; if he had cut his expenditures back to a minimum; he could have payed off his debts with a “W2″ job.
It would have taken years, he would have been unhappy about it, he would not have been able to enjoy many luxeries like eating out and vacations for that time. But, he could have paid off his debts.
Casey says his debts are 2.2 million in his “About” section. Follow that link though. Read the linked post and you see that if you exclude real estate (which you can do now that he had been foreclosed on or otherwise lost all his real estate properties) and you see that Casey describes his debt as being about $200,000. I beleive in other places in his blog he gives different estimates. In any case though, the estimates are always in the hundreds of thousands dollars (not millions of dollars).
I’ve known graduate students who have graduated with $100K to $150K in student loans debts and med students who have graduated with as much as $500K in debt from school. These people have entered the work force and have had no trouble paying off these debts.
Generally speaking, Casey would not likely make as much money as an MD (I say generally speaking because most freshly minted MDs work a low-paid residency or internship for few years afer med school graduation before moving on to raking in the big bucks), but he coudl have gotten a fairly well-paying job. Heck, Casey could have taken Duane’s offer of $72K.
Plus, remember that if Casey had contacted and began negotiating with his creditors quickly, he could likely have negotiated to pay only 80%, 70%, 50%, or for some debts, even less than 50% of the original value of his debts.
Don’t buy into that crap about only being able to pay off the debts with sweet deals. If Casey had listened to the numerous, numerous people who told him to get a job and begin paying off his debts, then he could, without a doubt, have eventually paid them off.
The problem isn’t that a W2 job can’t payoff Casey’s debts. The problem is that Casey simply doesn’t want to work.
June 21st, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Don’t make partial payment on your debts as it will re-set the statute of limitations. Either negotiate settlement in full or pay nothing.
There is now way your U.S. creditors are going to be pursuing your assets in Australia.
BTW, I hope you don’t pay any money to Countrywide. That was non-recourse debt. Countrywide management made poor decisions due to greed and needs to eat those losses. If you start paying them back when not legally required to, you are just rewarding irresponsible behavior. Definitely the wrong thing to do from a moral standpoint.
June 21st, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Casey sez:
“I will live on $1,000/mo and send another $1,000/mo home while I’m away. Anything on top of that will go toward paying off debt.”
Wow… just like an illegal alien from Mexico! Congrats Casey.
Of course you do realize if you had a looser W2 job you could live on much more than $1,000/month. You don’t think all of us loosers wake up every day for such a paltry sum. Heck even burger king pays better than that!
June 21st, 2007 at 12:45 pm

which by all means is a job, I work online to make money
to pay my mortgage.
The only thing I have done with Casey was to spend some
money to advertise here as a way to pay my bills.
Casey’s website is a blessing for me and my family right now
and so I was thanking Casey and all the people who are so kindly signing up for free and helping me.
:)
June 21st, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Wow, $1000.00 per month to pay off your debt… Why, in only 10 months, you’ll have paid off a whole 1/4th of what you owe CashCall!
You are a financial genius! I bow to your superior mind!
June 21st, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Whoever kidnapped Casey, would you please return him? It’s blatantly obvious he is not writing his posts. He isn’t good for much, but he does provide an element of amusement. Tragedy and comedy are sometimes irresistible.
Well, except when it comes to buying his “book”.
June 21st, 2007 at 2:31 pm
Hey Marty! Quit writing Casey’s blog for him!
Because this *obviously* wasn’t written by Snowflake. The writing style is all wrong.

Is there any reason you couldn’t pay off the debt while living in Sacramento?

Casey,
If you are interested I can send you info on wholesaling properties to investors who pay all cash or purchase the contract for cash!!

This is not Snowflake’s writing . .. . . . someone else is writing for Casey and you know what? that boy had talent! He knew how to post content, even if it infuriated some. Even his trolls were. . . .. well disguised. This new person isn’t nearly as good as Casey. Bring back Casey!
Or has he sold the blog?
June 21st, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Hey Kid;
My last comments not to your liking? Or is “Toby the Comment Coolie” all empowered now? (Hello Toby!)
No matter…like I said before, I know the shot went home when you DON’T post ‘em.
So:
“Hey, if I can get a place to stay and have some exposure in other country maybe I can make a few stops on the way back home. I’ve been offered places all over the world.”
Hey…that’s swell, hobbit. You’re getting a full tour of “Middle Earth”, ain’t ya?
But why are you doing it all by your lonesome?
Did you forget someone back in the Shire?
Is it going to be the same beloved Hobbiton that you left?
You remind me of Gollum wandering around the swamps, talking to himself.
It’s no matter, kid, enjoy your “pony ride in the summertime”, because we all know that eventually you’ve got to head back to that volcano in the Dark Land of Mordor.

Casey,
Just so you know, many of us W-2′ers (including yours truly) are jealous of you.
We’re stuck in little cubicles at least 40 hours/week, and not travelling the world and seeing new things and meeting new people like you are.
We make don’t make much money, either; in fact, you are making more than many of us here. And yet you probably only put in 2 or 3 hours a day working, tops.
I think I can speak for many when I say that we wish we were in your shoes.
You are truly an inspiration!
June 21st, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Hey Casey -
I noticed that you are trying to sell this site on myebid.com. Why don’t you list this site on ebay instead of the myebid.com. I am sure you would get a lot more interest. Unless of course you can’t use ebay anymore. Why would that be Casey????
June 21st, 2007 at 6:22 pm
CashCall is just using scare tactics. They can’t do much from what I’m told. Which doesn’t mean I will not pay them back. I just don’t like people trying to bully me and my family around.
June 21st, 2007 at 6:28 pm
@ 45
You tell ‘em. And you are forcing said creditors to back off by…..exactly….. how? Do you find it more effective in bending creditors to your will to be thousands of miles offshore?
June 21st, 2007 at 6:30 pm
You’re the only man I’ve ever wanted to see lose to Cashcall. Not saying this because I am a hater. I am saying this because you really did steal from them. CashCall wrongs all kinds of people, but you wronging them?
June 21st, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Yeah, I mean, it’s not like you signed a contract with CashCall agreeing to pay them back within a specified amount of time. At least you didn’t set up automatic payments to them, then close the bank account from which they were drawing. It would have been really bad if you called them to set up payment plan, then forgot to sign and return the paperwork.
Oh wait…you DID do all of that? You’re right…they can’t do much.
“From what [you’re] told” eh? Would the people that told you this be the very same that told you that borrowing from the shell corporation to pay your personal debts would be OK? Do you just keep asking people down the food chain of legality a question until you get the answer you want, or do you just start out by asking the bottomfeeders?

“CashCall is just using scare tactics.”
Ah-yup…that’s what they’re known for…just like we told you. Remember that? Check your own archives.
“They can’t do much from what I’m told.”
Told by whom, hobbit? That aborigine playing the didjeridoo behind the grocery store?
If they can’t intimidate you into paying them what YOU owe them, then they’ll do what they CAN, and I don’t think you’d like that one little bit.
“I just don’t like people trying to bully me and my family around. ”
You’d better get used to it, youngster. That’s what you signed up for when you signed their agreement, took their money, and didn’t pay up when you were supposed to…and then “forgot” to send in their payment plan paperwork…and didn’t pay up…and then bought penny stocks…and didn’t pay up…and then took off to Australia…and haven’t paid them.
You’re a deadbeat, buster.
Harrasment from Cashcall is child’s play.
You DO understand that people have been murdered for doing what you’ve done, right?
Popped in the head with a small-caliber weapon and then a rolled up Franklin stuffed up the stiff’s nostril.
(Signals to the Fuzz that it was “business” not pleasure).
You better get your mind right, boy-o. Seriously.
One of these days you’re going to cross the wrong people, and then when you learn that your fun and games don’t cut it, it’ll be a lesson that you’ll never recover from, see?
But tell us about Love, kid…what does it mean? Where does it go?
And tell us about Betrayal.

good luck casey!
June 21st, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Casey,
You need to start putting up posts daily and releasing comments sooner. We can’t get enough of you. You are forcing us to look elswhere for new Casey info. I only want to come here. I was at another site looking for Casey info tonight and there was a strong stench of dawg pee and poop, and the floors were sticky. Ewwwwwwwwwww. I had to hold my nose and tip toe out.
Why are you doing this to us Caseyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
How about every day for one hour you do “blog work?”
JUST ONE HOUR!!!
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration. Its your fault you know. You got us hooked on Caseyphonics (LOL)
June 21st, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Time to liquidate.
Sell GSPG. Sell the V-dubs. Return the Ikea shelves. Unearth the coffee can.
They’ll take it anyway.
All this because you couldn’t get it together to make $250 monthly payments.
Good things are coming.
June 21st, 2007 at 7:53 pm
why not become a doctor? that way, you’d really be helping a lot of folks!

“I just don’t like people trying to bully me and my family around.”
They’re bullying you?? But dude, you stole their money! You can say you intend to repay it, but you can’t and won’t. CashCall has thousands of accounts where people said they intend to pay it all back, but they didn’t. You’ve lumped yourself in with them now.
How would you feel if someone stole $10,000 from *you*? And then stopped paying you back, stopped returning your calls, and fled the country? I remember a bank that took a fraction of that out of your account, and you were steaming, hopping, apoplectic mad! And they weren’t even stealing — you actually owed that bank money and weren’t paying.
Now the shoe is on the other foot, but you’ve still taken many times over what that bank did, and far less legitimately than they did.
I don’t know where you go from here, Casey. It’s tough to say it, but things are not looking good AT ALL. Any of your reasonable options range from bad, to worse, to worst.
But at least it’s CashCall you stiffed, and not the IRS. They’re not as in-your-face as CashCall, but that would actually be even worse.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:13 pm
BOO!
Hope you don’t mind some busted-out kneecaps.
Could I interest you in a lovely pair of concrete shoes?
Now pay up, b#tch!
P.S. Just out of curiosity, since Australia is like just about on the bottom of the world and you’re pretty much upside down, does the blood rush to your head? If so, then it might be doing some good.
Crikey, look at the size of my pouch!

its a good thing “somebody” is around to handle them, while you get your mind clear of such trivial things in Australia

do you realize the bbc piece makes you look really bad? just like the rest of your sweet media???

Casey:
You need to go on Oprah to sell the book (don’t jump on the couch).
I like the idea of sending half the money home (that is what Hector the guy that mows my lawn does).
P.S. Do they have Outback Stteak houses or Jamba Juice Down Under?
June 21st, 2007 at 8:30 pm
“I just don’t like people trying to bully me and my family around. ”
Well, then. Good thing you aren’t there to be bullied.

Monica, I have a question. You seem to know a lot about the nuts & bolts of personal debt & bankruptcy.
Can’t these creditors, regardless of whether Casey declares bankruptcy, seize the assets in any checking accounts he may have? Does this mean he should not keep money in the bank?
June 21st, 2007 at 8:51 pm
You are doing the right thing by paying off debts Casey. I am proud of you. You will be very successful and admired by many.
June 21st, 2007 at 8:55 pm
Your response about scare tactics and not wanting your family or yourself to be bullied by your creditors is pathetic. There are consequences to both you and your family for the failure to repay your debts. They will file suit against you and your family and anyone else that may have had the misfortune of signing loan related documents with you. The people left actually residing in your home address will either open the door to a process server or come home one day to a notice taped to the front door. They will get a judgment against you and your family and those that work will have their wages garnished. Bank accounts will be seized. Remember when Wells Fargo “Stole” a $1000. Dollars from you? If you think these are scares tactics you are sadly mistaken. And don’t fool yourself, a paypal account is not immune to seizure.

Casey,
Your retard haterz over at EN simply cannot grasp that there are people who think THEY are idiots.
They are in the same type of denial that you were in by failing to comprehend that people really were against your actions and the harm it was/has caused. You dismissed them as being haters and pessimists, the EN crybabies dismiss us as TROLLS when we voice our opinions of them, or challenge their theories. It really is quite amusing, the similarities.
I will have to give you credit however. Although I do believe you are a crook, at least you don’t blow up, fly off the handle and completely lose it whenever somebody challenges you or is critical of your thoughts or beliefs.
The pathology of the EN hatez has become the most interesting part of this whole blog. The hypocrisy they exhibit is untouchable. Thanks for all the entertainment. ( both camps)

Casey: “CashCall is just using scare tactics. They can’t do much from what I’m told. Which doesn’t mean I will not pay them back. I just don’t like people trying to bully me and my family around.”
You don’t like them using scare tactics and bullying, they don’t like people taking *their* money and not giving it back.
Get a job, pay them back. It’s win-win.
June 21st, 2007 at 11:03 pm
CashCall is just using scare tactics. They can’t do much from what I’m told. Which doesn’t mean I will not pay them back. I just don’t like people trying to bully me and my family around.
So what have you actually done about it? And who told you that “they can’t do much”, and what evidence was provided to back this up?
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:00 am
Casey I wouldnt rely on the money you are expecting from you r book as it wont be any where near enough to pay off your debts…. I still dont know how you are going to be releasing a book in a month or so that you are still writing…. Again what you are expecting has no connection to reality.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:32 am
How does it feel to be writing because you have to? Surely you can spend a day/week blogging about that?
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:56 am
The Man Blog wants to chime in and say that we wish Casey well, and we hope that he can pay back every dirty penny. Oh, and buy us a beer or seven!

Ronson isn’t that bad, I’ve been following his career since he was a DJ on local radio so I’d like to weigh in on this.
It is true he targets eccentrics and “whacky” people though. His R4 series is themed, stuff like “Regret” and “Greed” would seem apt. I wouldn’t say he is a “provocateur”, that would imply he is deliberately disingenuous which he is not, there is substantial evidence in his films that he doesn’t asking leading question to provoke or trick people like Michael Moore. He just gives them room to speak and will actually interupt people if they are running off their mouths and give them a chance to back down on various things. In fact, he’ll feed them the way out often, this is shown most clearly in a film with him talking to an American neo-nazi who is ranting about jews (the irony being Jon Ronson is jewish, so I think its an exemplary demonstration of professionalism actually). Sadly they usually don’t take him up on the offer of presenting themselves better but that is how nutters are. If Ronson tries to show anything in his work, he is generally trying to demonstrate that there is more to people than we imagine and that even the worst might have some redeeming human characteristics or are in some way misunderstood, he doesn’t set people up to be condemned or pilloried. As I say, don’t confuse him with Michael Moore.
All that said, being interviewed by Jon Ronson, you are there because people think you are nuts, he isn’t a business journalist or anything.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:39 am
Good luck Casey. Wish you less haterz and more supporterz!
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:49 am
Casey,
You’re in grave danger of having IAFF blacklisted in Google. Their algorithms are very picky, and if they detect spammage or SEO gimmicks, IAFF site will be nuked for good. Needless to say, without being in the top Google serps your site will lose 80% of it’s traffic. And your sweet income.

Whoa -you made the homepage together with pedophiles, gunman and cyclonic winds attacking AU?!? Rock-on man!
June 22nd, 2007 at 6:01 am
Everything that made your blog compelling is gone. It seems like a bad infomercial now.
June 22nd, 2007 at 6:47 am
“CashCall is just using scare tactics. They can’t do much from what I’m told.”
Well, as always, you have been completely misinformed. Or maybe someone tried to tell you the truth and you didn’t want to believe it, so you didn’t listen.
CashCall has a fresh debt owed to them (fresh as in this did not occur 5 years ago; you defaulted only months ago), and it’s for a considerable amount. It’s either $10,000 or $40,000; reports vary. Either way, that’s an amount worth suing for.
Here’s what they are going to do. They are going to file a lawsuit against you. They will serve papers on you, probably at your house. I believe California law allows service to be done using certified mail, so they don’t even have to find you and hand you the papers. If not, they can pay a sheriff to deliver the papers to your last known address. That’s due diligence.
Next, there will be a court appearance. I’m sure you’ll blow it off, but they won’t, and they will get a default judgment against you.
Once they have the judgment, they can do A LOT. They can raid any bank account they find. If you had a job, they could garnish the wages. They can drag you into court for debtor exams.
Even if you are essentially judgment proof due to lack of assets, a judgment stays on your credit report for 10 years. They are enforceable by law for 10 years, and normally can be renewed. So CashCall has 20 years to collect. Do you plan to be a penniless vagabond for 20 years?
June 22nd, 2007 at 7:27 am
Looks like google and yahoo are now Haterz.

While you’re in Sydney, go to a BOOST JUICE and buy yourself a “Watermelon Crush”.
Trust me.

52. 899 to Go
June 21st, 2007 at 12:52 pm
No, 899. It was a cry in the darkness.
Dunno who’s turning this blog into a tedius infomercial, but I’m betting it ain’t Sunshine.
June 22nd, 2007 at 8:56 am
Casey,
Do you realize that you are dynamic? I mean this thing you have created is brilliant. A sect of your worst critics are bloggers themselves. They get maybe a dozen or so people a month that may browse the crap they rant about on their blogs UNLESS they talk are talking about Casey. Then traffic spikes. Wowwwwwwwwwww.
Then you have the group of bloggers that instead of blogging on their own blogs, they convene on other blogs and hijack them just to blog about Casey. Obviously their lives are not as interesting. Even when that blogger puts posts up about other sujects, the comments are mostly all in reference to Casey anyway. Amazinggggggggggg.
I am a newbie to the IAFF saga but it amazes me how one 24 year old guy could inspire so much speculation and keep even the people that hate him following him around online all day and all night. Unbelieableeeeeeeeeeeee.
I mean where do these people work? I wanna get a job there. Where you can just goof off all day online and still claim you are earning “honest” W-2 money. How about their personal lives? The live and breathe by Casey. Unrealllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
I have not had time to catch up on the whole story but seems to me that this Casey Dude is only affecting HIS peorsonal/financial life. Why would I get so upset at some random guy online for not taking my advice about HIS life that I would become f****** OBSESSED about him. whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Dude I’m 24 too but YOU must be one hell of a 24 year old. I definitely will buy that book when it comes out. Looks like it will be worth the time. Rock onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:18 am
Casey as a role model, Casey as an inspiration, Casey as a legit business man, Casey with social or personal ethics…..? He is as good of role model and inspiration as OJ Simpson.
This is true entertainment at best….Run Forrest, Run.
Wow…$1,000 a month to live on, and netting total revenue of $2,500 a month…thats success? Hahahah.
Bankruptcy and negotiate…good luck. Most people make stupid financial mistakes and get in over their heads unintentionally.
You are guilty of white collar crimes, Skippy, plain and simple. Fraud for a couple million bucks intentionally doesnt deserve to ge negotiated. Go make license plates in the CA pen, learn what work is.
Here’s a novel idea, get a W-2 job AND invest in real estate. Oh but wait, my W-2 job is lame….I only make $300k a year Casey, ten years after graduating from business school. Started at $22k in technologu inside sales, then outside sales, then sales manager, then started a company and sold it, now my “lame” W-2 job is for one of the biggest software companies in the world managing $200m of revenue. SO….hows your work-for-nothing revenue schemes working for ya, buddy. Wow, your my idol, what a genius, making $2,500 a month and running like a scare child instead of being a man.
Oh yea, while I’ve had my “un-sweet” W-2 job, I’ve also done real estate investments…amazing concept, huh? Bough and sold several houses, developed a few 4-plexes, own a few rentals. Now are you sitting down for this one….I actaully made money!
Penny stocks…? Go buy a lottery ticket, or pick some 4-leaf clovers…or buy some Lucky Charms, you would be better off. You would be better off buy 1 share of a decent stock, maybe you can make a payment plan to purchase 1/4 of 1 share per month on your “sweet” monthly income.
Huummm, so guess what I did with some of my profits in real estate, Mr. Trump…..I got in on the MasterCard IPO (Initial Public Offering) when they began trading on the market last year. $39/share opening purchase price, and now as of today (June 20th) its at $165.76/share. Do the math on purchasing 1,000 shares. Check the symbol MA, and the history of the stock if your compelled.
And guess what, yes, I will get hammered on taxes when I sell and take my profits, and I will pay it…intersting idea, huh, paying for your profits, or debts.
SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT TO MAKE MONEY QUICKLY….HERE IS YOUR 100% LEGIT TIP (listen up, Casey…even though I have a W-2 job…)
VISA is privately held, just as MasterCard was. VISA will be going public in approximately 6 months, sometime in the beginning of Q1 2008. This will do exactly what the MasterCard stock has done, $39 to $165 in 1 year. VISA will be a bit higher on the IPO price, but is a bigger company than MasterCard….the biggest in the world, so logic says VISA will be a huge IPO with huge gains.
Do the research, people, we all want to make money. Search on VISA IPO, be ready, save for it, wait for a real investment, not some too-good-to-be-true-Casey-type investment.
Good luck to all of you, but please be a realist financially, not a Casey.

“Travel the World to Pay Off Debt”
…how about…
“Travel the World to Avoid Prosecution”
Casey sure seems awfully eager to travel the world at this critical stage of his life. Anyone out there know anyone in the Placer County District Attorney’s Office who can ask around…?
June 23rd, 2007 at 6:51 am
First a wedding photographer uses the comment section to promote his business, now unsolicited stock tips from somebody who ‘claims’ to be making $300,000 a year. And then there is the paid advertising.
The ‘James Marks’ who posts here is 51 year old unemployed college student with three ex-wives and two children he can’t afford to support, who spends at least 8 hours a day posting on many different boards. He is well known in the FC/FCC/CI community, but not in a good way, and this guy has advice for CASEY?
This place is turning into a CIRCUS. At least it is still entertaining. An entire board full of monkies dancing for our delight!
