Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

Also forgot to touch on this:

"Housekeeping isn’t very good or reliable, but it’s a place to live until we find a new apartment."

No shit, Sherlock. Hotel housekeeping is for you know, guests who travel, who need to spend a handful of days somewhere at most, while they're on business or vacation? Make up the beds and clean up the general area while the guests are out working or visiting places.

Not pick up the grimy fast food bags of a bum while he sits on his ass all day moderating a fucking UFO forum.

Gene 2001 begging email.JPG Here is a copy of a begging email from Gene sent to a long list of people on August 1, 2003 so he's been doing it at least 15 years by email, probably longer. I've blocked out all the email addresses and names to protect the innocent.

Thank you. I think Jack Brewer (Jack Brewer (@TheUFOTrail) | Twitter or email via his blog) was asking for similar past messages earlier it might be an idea to forward it to him.

It's uncanny how similar this is to the kinds of messages he sends now. It seems Gene has never really evolved the scam.

If you go from past history, Steinberg has never once been out on his ass and not had a place to live. Not once! If he had he would have been crying the blues. And yes, the people who once gave you money are no longer doing so. People are wising up due to websites that check up on your BS.

Perhaps we all are a bit cruel with poor old Gene. He only brought it upon himself. The way he treats the members of his podcast should give him an indication of how he is now being treated. The bottom line is still this: Steinberg DOES NOT want to work for his keep. Nobody owes him a thing. Certainly not in supporting his lazy ass.

Youre simply not updated on Genes situation. He does indeed work : two podcasts and the occational Apple consulting.

A podcast where the co-host does all the work. I want to see the documents of Steinberg’s Apple consulting work. Would you have him consulting for your multi billion dollar business? I didn’t think so.

You forgot financial consultant, driver for not one but TWO ride sharing services, cult sci-fi writer (of the classic kind!), dormant (but still acting!) CEO of a vintage currency operation, and 'freelance' journalist.

We're up to nine jobs now, I think we should be asking what Gene DOESN'T do at this point.

The man is simply a down on his luck Warren Buffet.

Thanks Dewey. Wow.

Jaret Beizer, I cannot recall but, wasn't he described as - he had some special needs I thought though I am not sure what. Anyone remember?

He also had some kind of financial advice company.

I can see the infomercial now:

"Call "The Stein", NOW!

The S is for $!

Gene Steinberg is a world renowned tech expert who has successfully navigated hundreds in AOL installations in the 90s, and with his well known podcasts, has become a self made thousand-aire and would like to teach YOU how too!

For just $4.99 a minute, Gene will navigate your financial future with obvious, droning commentary on life, and tell YOU exactly what you should do in the most undeserved condescending way possible, in only the way Gene can!

The S is for $!

And if you call now, for a limited time, Gene will throw in free pop culture references about Star Trek and the way the media business was in the 60s from someone who never was never employed in it!

This offer won't last long, so CALL NOW!"

I think the advice his financial company gave would have been like this:

Schemey's Super Money Making Tips - How to Get Rich Without Working
  1. Start a paranormal podcast with someone else.
  2. Get them to do all the work for free whilst you reminisce about the past and talk about Supergirl, the Americans and various other crap on TV (just to make it clear that you don't do research and don't even care about the discussion).
  3. Get it on a shitty radio network and fill it up with ads to the point where it becomes unlistenable.
  4. Offer subscriptions.
  5. DO NOT whatever you do give any of the ad or subscription money to your cohosts.
  6. If your cohosts become disillusioned - first beg them for money, if that fails then give them some of your old discarded equipment or some socks you got for Christmas and didn't like.
  7. Create a forum as your own personal echo chamber and ban anyone who disagrees with you.
  8. Use your podcast email list to constantly beg for money using self created crises.
  9. Also beg everyone you ever meet whether in real life, online or anywhere else.
  10. Rake in the money and spend it on things you can't afford.
  11. Brag about such things in online fora, really make it clear that you have expensive tastes and everyone else is a peasant for living within their means.
  12. Make it clear you consider your listeners complete chumps for working real jobs that you consider are "beneath you" whilst still begging them for money so you can have luxuries that they don't.
  13. Don't ever pay a single cent of rent and hence ensure that you get evicted several times a year - weave the eviction into the begging narrative.
  14. When you get into trouble just lie about everything or blame it on a group of stalkers/haters.
  15. Pretend to misconstrue any and all negative events in your life as being due to said stalkers and weave them in to the narrative.
  16. Shift blame onto dead relatives where possible.
  17. Try to garner more pity by pretending to be suicidal, bringing your wife's health issues and your pet into it.
  18. If all else fails declare bankruptcy and start it all again.

Hrm yeah... oddly I thought I saw a judgment against Jaret Bezier in the Maricopa County system, vs. Discover... which is supported by your link. But I can no longer find that case. Hrm. Anyway, thought it was odd. The one case for him I do see in the Maricopa County online court system is vs. a debt collection agency, looks to have been settled and dismissed, if I am reading it right.

I thought he had read he had some special needs but I do not recall the details. Or perhaps they were not to be trusted anyway.

Hey there,

I've been vague-following this issue for a couple years now, been intensely following it for the last few weeks.
WOW. Just...just WOW.

I can't imagine being the other half of this situation. Okay sure, she's just got out of the hospital etc., but she has to know there's issues. There's no way you're evicted twice in three months and you're not aware that something is very, very wrong. And she's supposed to be younger than he is, right? And she's just...blithely going on and watching TV? She's not been actively trying to improve their situation?

Also. There's jobs out there where he would never have to leave the comfort of his home. There's work from home call center jobs out the wazoo, all he has to do is Google them. Customer Service Reps. They pay about $8 an hour to start with, depending on the company. There's online transcription work, one of the biggest legal transcription companies in the country is based out of Phoenix, actually. And if you get good enough, you can make decent money. Of course, he'd have to start at the bottom and work his way up, but if he's got good enough hearing to edit his shows, he could do transcription.

And I said all that to say this; my husband and I are raising two kids on about what he's making a month. We're in the Southeast. Of course, our cars are both paid for, and both of them are well over 10 years old, but you know, it's possible to live decently if you're willing to work.

Of course there are people who either don't have the education or the ability to get these jobs, people who don't have the internet connection or the knowledge to look for these kinds of jobs, but if he just wants to sit on his butt and talk, or listen (not that he does a lot of that anyway), these kinds of jobs are out there. I know.

At this point, though, anyone in the Phoenix area needs to start watching the exit ramps for an old guy with a sign and a little green man coffee cup...with a what, a VW Jetta discreetly parked about a hundred feet away...
hey there!

Remember this guy hung around with Jim Mosely who was not exactly an ethical person himself. Mosley would do anything for a "prank" no matter how disgusting, Steinberg will do the same for money.
i have already said it and will said again: gene wants to live the moseley live to the extreme maybe even more than his master
we have no idea what he is doing behind the curtain but considering his ex-boss/friend/whatever publically engaged in grave robbing, i have a feeling that what gene does in secret is not moral either

Randall is so full of shyte, what little respect for him I had has vanished as he seems to justify and reason Gene's financial scams as a just and proper endeavour...He cannot even see the reality of the situation or refuses to, I think he just ignores all the details and blindly accepts the situation as something righteous...At least this is the way I see it, ignorance is certainly bliss in his mind...

The justification continues:

Image Management

...
who is this "nix" guy that keeps posting there, he looks like someone gene hired too
