Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

View attachment 4303

as my wife posted ...this sums up the situation

Gene wouldn't be as polite as Wimpy though.

He would ask you for the burger but never offer to pay and he would tell you to be quick about it. Then after eating the burger he would probably complain that it wasn't right and would ask for a replacement burger or a refund - even though he never paid for it.

He'd also try to squeeze out as many extras as possible like fries, drinks, ice-cream. He'd even try to walk away with all the napkins and little packets of sugars and things.

All the time in between doing this he would be scaring the other customers with his tales of woe and aggressive begging to the point where some of them would just get fed up and leave.

Basically he would keep trying to take more from the restaurant and the other customers until you were forced to call the police.

At that point he would make a sharp exit and probably start the same thing again at another fast food restaurant.

Folks, a few reminders:

- Steinberg and his wife are senior citizens at this point, expecting them to make major changes to the way they think and live is simply unrealistic, they are set in their ways. He's been begging for money so long, it's become part of his OCD routine, he could no sooner stop doing it than he could stop breathing. On top of that...

- They are not mentally well, both of them suffer from some rather odd personality issues which really limit their abilities and interactions with the world. How many of you have friends that would be there for you if things really went south? You probably have friends and family who wouldn't think twice of taking you in, helping you out, having your back. I know this is my reality, I have been blessed with wonderful and supportive friends and family, if my world turned to shit, I have more than one place I could crash for as long as needed. Gene and Barbara have no real support network, they have not cultivated genuine friendships or relationships, they are two broken people who found each other and created a broken reality for them to wallow in, the only bit of brightness and warmth for either of them is that poor little dog. Hell, their own son ran as far as he could, he wanted nothing to do with either of them because he's not as fucking crazy as they are, and wanted to escape their cloud of doom. When one lives like that, it becomes a nasty negative feedback loop. I'm not saying I feel sorry for them - I don't - but I realize that they are already living inside of a nightmare. All this talk I see online about them living "the good life", um, sorry, that's probably not what's playing out there: they exist inside of a squalid motel room, likely sniping at each other, I would bet it's a fucking living hell on Earth. Gene might _want_ the latest tech/Mac/iPhone, but believe me, he doesn't have much of anything at this point. I seriously doubt Apples sends him loaners anymore - I'd bet he burned that bridge years ago.

- Gene obsessively reads all this online shit about him because he has nothing else to live for - it's all one big escape, the shows are a way for him to feel even slightly relevant or useful, the alternative is a whacked-out wife watching Fox News, which again, is a living hell for him, the online reality is more real to him than his actual life. You've all seen the pictures of her, she's trying to be a young woman in how she dresses, but her body is going off the skids, she's not well in _any_ way, between the Fox shit and her dog obsession (she constantly posts rescue dog notices on her Facebook page), she's three sheets to the wind. I seriously doubt she's worked a day in her life, she's not about to start now, who would hire her, and for what job? Can you imagine living like that? It takes a certain level of mental illness, and they both suffer from it. When you live in a pool of lies, deception and nastiness, it takes a toll on you, and that definitely seems to be the deal with Gene at this point.

The bottom line: the Steinbergs are most likely not living a life of luxury or pleasure, they are constantly looking over their shoulders, they have nothing to show for their lives, that weight is crushing them both down into the ground, you can see it on their faces. Gene looks like a corpse already, talk about a blank cloud of darkness in his eyes (and I noticed that about him the one time we met in person at a MacWorld Expo in San Fran many years ago, before we started the Paracast, when I used to appear on his other show as a guest, the dude was a walking cloud of depressed energy and his eyes were just fucking dead). He's already paying the price for the way he's lived and the shady shit he's been involved with over the years, in his case, instant Karma is an ongoing affair and will likely give him a stroke sooner than later.

Carry on.

New message from the Schemeyverse:

I'll be lucky if I have enough money to continue after today!
Hi,

This is frustrating.

Since I was unable to pay the storage facility Wednesday, they added 20% to the bill. I have to pay real soon now to prevent them from disposing of my stuff.

I have to pay the motel to extend my reservation today.

But I was able to resume one of my ride-sharing gigs. A set of used tires, which will last a few months, was enough to pass inspection. Fortunately, nobody paid attention to the bogus complaint filed by a troll that I was using an unsafe vehicle to transport riders.

I will have to have car inspected by the other service to resume driving for them, and I plan to do that by the end of the week.

In the meantime, it’ll take a while before I earn enough money to make a difference.

The PayPal problem is close to being resolved.

But here’s how you can help me today:

You can send an instant payment to me via Facebook Messenger, which provides for instant money transfers to my bank debit card.

Here’s my Facebook page:

Gene Steinberg

Another way to help is Venmo, a peer-to-peer app to transfer money. My username is @Gene-Steinberg-2. I can also receive payments via Skrill. My username there is: gene@technightowl.com. I don’t know yet whether payment transfers to my debit card are instant.


If you don’t want to use any of the above payment methods, you can use Western Union or Moneygram. Walmart has a deal with Moneygram that offers a lower rate. You can send payments at your nearest Walmart store, or use the following link:

https://walmart.moneygram.com/walmart/us/en/

For me to pick up the money, I’ll need a tracking number.

Please write me if you have questions about these payment methods.

If you’re not able to send a donation, feel free to forward this message to someone who might assist.

And I continue to host and produce The Paracast and The Tech Night Owl LIVE. The technightowl.com site is still for sale.

If you have any questions about my living situation, please let me know.

Peace,
Gene

Unless he found these tires in a dumpster they are going to last at least a year but probably more like 2 years. He's such a liar and a scumbag.

Gene, I know you're reading this. You're a homeless old man who begs for people to pay your bills. Your issues are not extraordinary, quite the opposite, they're ordinary. The only difference between us and you is the we all pay our normal everyday bills ourselves.

Your wife spends all day posting on Facebook, by your own admission you haven't seen your son in years, your podcast and forum are a shell of what they used to be. The writing is on the wall, give up and just focus on trying to live the rest of your days without bothering people.

You think we are all obsessed with you but in fact we are all tired of you. The 150+ pages just on this forum are dedicated to tracking your unethical and sometimes illegal activity. I view this as a public service to make sure not a single person give you their money. You're a good for nothing grifter and piss poor con man. GO AWAY!!!

Can you imagine? Steinberg has to slap on used tires to pass inspection. No one believed the bogus troll report that the car was unsafe to ride in. I don’t believe a word of it. It’s going to take awhile to earn more money from his riding gig, so be sure to send me money! The man is unbelievable.

I don't 100% agree with this. Whilst it can be harder for older people to change their ways, it is certainly not impossible indeed there is no scientific basis to the idea that they can't change.

This is particularly true when it is a matter of survival - be it for financial reasons or for health reasons. Survival is a motivator that trumps all other things.

I have seen it myself in numerous examples with people I know and have worked with. The issue is that those people have to want to change and they need to believe that their "survival" (financial or physical) is under threat. Sometimes it takes hitting absolute rock bottom in order to do that.

I get the feeling in Gene's case there is no desire to change and whilst you may perceive his situation to be unbearable (as it would be from our perspectives) I feel that the inertia that exists is likely a function of the fact that to him it is not.

He does not truly believe he is fighting for survival (as delusional as that might be) - remember he has been doing this for at least a decade and he has always managed to pull through somehow.

There is simply not enough "fear" of catastrophe because from his perspective it will not get there. He may not be "happy" as such but he is not in sufficient discomfort to force him to take action and change his behaviour.

I also get the impression that Gene is the kind of personality who would never ever be happy. He could be living in comfortable circumstances but would still miserable - I suspect this is because he does not value people or relationships and his entire focus in life is upon himself.

I tend to agree. Steinberg is not a happy, positive individual and has never been this way. Just look at the photo. Someone is intruding on Steinberg’s space and he doesn’t like it.

The goal of this is not to start shit but rather to let you know that Gene blames David for his "online stalker issues." I emailed him and a told him that even people he used to trust are raising red flags about his behavior, the cited David and this post. He responded 3 times about this and it seems to have really triggered him. I told him that I was going to share these correspondences and he did not care. Anyway see the screen shots below.

Of course Steinberg blames David Biedny. Steinberg blames everyone but himself for all his worldly woes. Have you ever once heard Steinberg admit he brought all his troubles on himself. No, Never. Frankly, no one forced Steinberg and his wife to live out of a suitcase moving from motel to motel. He needs to look in a mirror to find the person responsible.
 
Oh man, that's some funny shit right there.

Yeah, his woes and monumental fuckup of a life are MY fault, yesiree.

He is incapable of taking responsibility for anything in his depressing reality. His behavior is downright pathological. He will - and does - blame everything and everyone for his tragic car crash of a life, nothing is ever his fault.

And his memory is shot to hell: whatever I know about Barbara is stuff HE TOLD ME, if he lied to me, I'm lying to you, it's that simple. I offered to buy them a coffeemaker one year after hearing about his endless car trips to buy coffee (which were going on when he was complaining about lack of money), and he told me it would be a terrible idea, as his wife would obsessively gulp coffee all day and all night while watching Fox - I didn't make that shit up, he told me exactly that on a phone call. And am I lying about her compulsively posting dog rescue notices on Facebook? Anyone can go look for themselves. Same thing regarding his shady financial dealings and the awful mess with his BIL, Jack Brewer and his folks dug up all that proof on their own, I had zero input or involvement with their efforts, and I applaud their attention to detail. Anyone can look those posts up on the UFO Trail blog, but somehow it's my fault. The very day after I bailed from the Paracast, he locked me out of the forums, he was afraid I would tell people what was _really_ going on, that's a fact. The idea that he doesn't have a Google alert set to his name, and that he doesn't read all these postings and coverage is simply laughable, he often responds to comments about his name across the web within minutes, yeah, that's because folks are all watching and waiting to see his name, and then instantly inform him. If this isn't all a clear case of mental illness, I am a Turkish midget with three eyes.

He is the creator of his own reality, his "negative spin" has precious little to do with me, perhaps his DAILY begging missives over a period of years might have something to do with it all, you think?

I did indeed move on, and didn't deal with his shit - or even think about him - for years. I only offered my thoughts again when I was alerted by three people to the excellent posts on The UFO Trail blog. Am I the one who is mentally messed up? I guess my involvement with Gene for those four years could be used as proof that I wasn't totally sane, but in this world today, please show me a sane human, most of the world seems to be a little fucking crazy at the moment. I provide for myself, I don't go around begging folks for money, I have genuine friends and family who have my back and would take me in if I was in serious need. Gene can make none of those claims, his bullshit is right out in the open, every bridge in his world has been burned and destroyed. You reap what you sow, and he comes up empty-handed for a damn good reason.

I have to say, for someone who hates the Douchetator™ tRump so much, Gene often sounds and acts like him. All his wife's Fox television time is rubbing off on his damaged walnut of a brain.

Pathetic.

I find it ironic that he is saying David is bipolar. It seems like the kind of cheap dig Steinbeg would make (because from his 19th century point of view mental health issues are something to be ashamed of). Whether he is or isn't is irrelevant (and his business)- David is not the one that has been begging in a crazy delusional way for the last decade.

Also it is interesting that he brings up that Barbara still intends to start that "business" with her sister. He already collected a lot of donations for her to start a "handbag" business, only for nothing to come of it and for people to be left wondering what happened to the money they gave him.

The whole family are a bunch of crooks and if there were any justice in the world they would be in jail for their numerous scams.

Right. You somehow managed to mess up his life from birth (because he has always been this way). Obviously you used your magical powers to curse him before you were even born. Now that is paranormal.

The idea that Barbara Steinberg is going to start a business seems rather farfetched. What's she been waiting for, really?

Oh well.

And as has been said many times many ways: no one but Gene got Gene evicted. 100%. If he can't figure that out then good luck to him with his next lease. Here's a hint, Gene, even though you say you don't look at this: next time try honoring your lease! Extra hint: that includes paying the rent on time each month!

(And Gene, if you don't look at any of this, it's curious how you seem to acknowledge things from here, UFO Trail blog comments, and @SchemeGeneRC twitter in your wonderful emails. I mean I know you're blessed with a Rockoids-level imagination but still.)

But after considering Mr. Biedny's post before last, I think he's correct. Gene Steinberg lives in a hell of his own making, of his own meticulous curation in fact, and will not change. I can't seem to stop myself from pointing out his seeming dishonesty, but to no real end, other than perhaps my own need to vent. And I hope warning others that giving Gene any money is in no way going to help him, since he isn't and never has been dealing with an unexpected short term financial crisis. He is dealing with being Gene Steinberg, and that has become a crisis he cannot escape.

Honorable
Biedny v. Steinberg.

In 2011 David wrote that the settlement that Gene wrote about was "a crock of crap." Gene defended his story then and continued to do so for the next seven years. We all know how that turned out once people started looking a little closer.

I don't know either David or Gene, but David's description of Barbara is almost exactly what I was told almost three years ago by someone who knew Gene. The information was not shared to discourage donations (perhaps the opposite).

So now Gene states that Biedny's claim that he has done "shady things is outrageous." The record speaks for itself. In fact, for those keeping score, here is another part of the puzzle that I only recently came upon (to give a little more context and a time frame to the $44,000 debt that Gene discharged through bankruptcy).

Of course it was not Gene's fault:

That's all we can do - warn others about Gene so that they don't get conned and keep rewarding his grifting. Whilst it is improbable he will choose to change, there is a chance that if people stop enabling him he will eventually have no other choice but to make changes.
