From my observations that guy had left paracast a little while back, he was one I contacted whilst I still had access to paracast, and invited here...He suddenly became active on paracast again soon after my contact email, so I assume he's either completely blind and indifferent to Gene ripping off people or supports it as his presence there now is doing nothing else but enabling Gene to continue his carpetbagging campaign...
...
My guess is guys like Ecker, Murphy, and some others are just old hats at the UFO field and don't have a big internet presence to research the ins and outs of what Gene is doing, like others have. Gene's probably smart enough now, not to beg certain people for money because he would run out of show options, so they either don't hear it for him or take Gene's explanation at face value.
Especially in the UFO field, it's easy for Gene to hide behind the 'haters are just haters' excuse, because there's so many crazies out there that do harass legitimate researchers. I believe Murphy and Ecker have been around a long time, so he can just throw anyone who criticizes his financial schemes as the same as group like Billy Meijer cultists. Harassment claims are probably something the old UFO researchers probably just accept as the norm, because they dealt with real harassment themselves from the true crazies.
That's my theory at least. Gene just takes advantage of others with his persecution complex to tie his situation in with things that happen in the field that are completely different.
