BTW I called him out on the reading of PMs. He denies it of course. Here is the response:

You will never ever EVER get Schemey to admit to doing anything wrong.
He still claims that the woman his BIL ripped off for 200k was a "vindictive woman" and refuses to even admit to the fact that he pleaded guilty (or his own involvement in that company/fraudulently raising money for the same BIL's defence).
If he can't even acknowledge what is in the public record after being tested in court, there is zero chance that he will admit to his own private wrongdoing.
I have come to the conclusion that Gene is a sociopath who has absolutely no concern for other people.
In his mind doing anything to help himself is absolutely justified, that includes begging off the back of disasters, conning people using various fake businesses, "running" a financial advice service when his main job is fraudulent begging, slandering victims of his family's crimes, ruining his own son's credit history, professionally squatting and reading people's personal messages.
To be honest the reading PMs part is probably the least of his crimes.
He only denies it because he knows that other people think it is a bad thing, but in his mind it is his right -just as much he believes he is entitled to other people's money and to spam them with messages that are unrelated to the forum or newsletter.
It seems to me that in his universe the only "real" person that exists is Gene Steinberg - everyone else is merely a robot or puppet to be used by him for his own purposes. Hence when he needs money to gamble or do whatever he does he believes it is his right to spam everyone with demands, because his problems are everybody's problems.
I would not be surprised if he uses the current hurricane disaster to solicit donations for himself.
Nothing is off limits for him. There is no shame.
