Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

IS HE EVEN SERIOUS????

Anyone, ANYONE, with half a brain stem would be able to tell that a marketer will want cash up front! Where's that cash coming from, friends and neighbors? Well, the gullible, I suppose...but that's operating expenses. That shouldn't be coming from friggin' PERSONAL APPEAL DONATIONS!

More, with his contract with GCN, how can he remarket the show? Didn't he sign a contract? I'm sure he did. And I'm not so sure he's not getting at least some form of affiliate pay through the commercials, like a percentage of proceeds from orders placed during his time slot.

Jesus WEPT.

I was going to post this same thing about where is he getting the money for this when allegedly he cannot even keep a motel room for himself without stooping to begging lol...

Oh and in regard to totally rebuilding his site for marketing purposes...:Whistle:

Gotta say, I just don't believe this one. I really have a hard time imagining he doesn't already have the money to pay to stay longer, for one thing. For another, the hotel management is granting him a "an hour or two" to raise the funds...? That seems really, really unlikely to me.

p.s. I didn't get that note from him. Maybe I'm not on his inner circle mailing list... ;)

He doesn't have money for a motel but spending money to rebuild the paracast for marketing purposes...

Seems legit...:laugh8:

That site's a mess as it is! It's slow, it's weird, it's a mess. I can't even with his page, seriously. I count 16 ads, myself, I think three of them FOR THE PARACAST. One's for Space Hemorrhoids.

And have you seen the "blog posts" underneath the current episode & "After the Para?" I would bet money he did not write those. It's all very clickbait -- I would bet money he found those somewhere else and reposted them without permission.

So, he's excited to be working with an online marketer who was not savvy enough to do a Google search on "Gene Steinberg". Cool.

There is no marketer. Gene-O pay for a service up front? When he's whining and pitching a hissy about the motel wanting cash up front? Yeah, right. This is just a ploy to get the gullible to shell out a little more in hopes of "SAVING THE PARACAST!"

I'm surprised he hasn't trotted out Jerry Lewis' corpse and is doing a friggin' telethon at this point.

"And let's go to the board, everyone...$47 and 28 cents!"

Nah, on second thought, it wouldn't be Jerry Lewis' corpse. It'd be Jim Moseley's.

This falls under the same heading as when Steinberg was looking for a sales person to sell ads on the Paracast. There were no takers. I’m sure that once these people found out there was no money involved, they did a quick exit.

Housekeeping isn't very good or reliable

Aug 6

Housekeeping is also optional, otherwise you are expected to take care of the room yourself

This can be read two ways, either the inconstancy is indicative of a lie, or he has chosen to opt out of housekeeping to save a few bucks.

My wife is doubtful of the second option, A motel would clean the toilets if for no other reason not to let the room in itself become so squalid as to be un-rentable going forward.


I have had quite a lot of experience with motels, on both sides of the counter. Very little of that experience is recent, but I'm sure it's still true that pretty much every motel will have a weekly rate that's quite a bit lower than seven days at the normal rate. Of course, it is necessary to pay for a whole week in advance. I'm sure Gene could do that, and may well be doing that. Either he is too dense to do it that way (after all, it's much, much cheaper yet just to pay your apartment rent and not get tossed out), or he's making up imaginary deadlines to spam us with.

Of course he is paying weekly for that very reason, its cheaper. But by creating a daily crisis he can panhandle on a daily basis.

He says he hates this existence, but could get the very same amenities if not better for free in a nursing home.

This is the existence you've chosen Gene, No one feels sorry for you. No one.

Once more for the dummy. This existence is no accident, its not been thrust apon you against your will or control.
You've made all the choices that see you where you are today. You are behind the wheel on this one, and this is where you've chosen to park yourself. You have other choices. So don't expect anyone to feel sorry for an existence of your own control and creation.

I see Tyger who posts here as Ottilie has started posting at the paracast again.
Either Gene is clueless or hes so desperate for content he will let her post despite what she has said about him here

BTW is there any chance - if Chris is always high - that Gene (perhaps even his wife) suffer from addiction? If either of them do it would explain a lot. Especially the willingness to sacrifice anyone and everyone who gets in the way of the money-line that pays for the addiction. Just a thought - a speculation.

Keep in mind Gene has been threatening legal action - his 'the authorities' while 'the investigation' is underway. Gene is proving himself to be pretty nasty, willing to throw long standing supporters under the bus if they dare question him.

This is not an insignificant concern given Gene's established belief that he is being denied his rightful income stream combined with his tendency to get ugly.

Not sure who Gene is referring to but if to himself he needs to accept that the people pissed at him are people who have 'known' him for years and many of them gave him money. He's not listening.

Plus I do believe we have Gene here admitting that panhandling for money is his income stream.

Gene: "Also consider that fake offer of financial help, and it's only one of several I've received in recent years."

Of course, it's the internet. Why should Gene think this matters to anyone?

Gene: "The online haters are watching every word in this forum for to seize upon and misrepresent."

Clearly he is reading all this. Nothing is being misrepresented. Gene is being directly quoted. He digs his own hole.

Gene: "They are, as you see, also going after people connected with the show."

Being so, he needs to accept that he bears culpability for Gene's scam continuing.

Gene: "If you see any further examples of this mischief and possibly criminal behavior, please open a private conversation with me so I can take appropriate action."

Again the threats, the intimidation, the forever bully when he doesn't get his way.

Gene: "Nobody deserves such treatment, but online bullies are common."

When you scam people, Gene, expect what comes.

To me this sounds like he has a room paid for a week at a time, most hotels will not have daily service for weekly guests, only once or twice a week do they come mandatory...At least that's how it was when I traveled years ago, if you have a room for a week you can ring the desk and request housekeeping at any time during your stay, but weekly rooms have different housekeeping rules...

Disappointing to see IsaacKoi still engaging with the paracast.Must be because lawyers like Koi and Kimball are used to dealing with nefarious characters.
i think they are genuinely clueless, koi is in a lot of stress due to some asshole wanting to dox him a while back, so he could not care less about internet drama

It really is hard to believe that's not a cunning spoof, a la the Onion or something. He has reached new heights of self-parody. I still halfway wonder if maybe someone hijacked his account. There was some other high grade trolling going on this morning. Man, what a rabbit hole this mess is!

No room service! I'm sure the fuckwit would be ordering room service if it were available. He has to clean up after himself? Holy shit! He's being treated like a commoner! He has to keep paying his room rent, or get out. The nerve of those greedy bastards. It's like they are running a commercial business or something.
wait let me fix that:
gene reached the rock bottom, kept digging, reached hell and swan in the lava!

Glittering Badger joined here this morning...

...

But since Glittering Badger and Bishop are one and the same person I doubt I will allow Glittering Badger post since that episode as Bishop here in this thread a few months ago...
