This "Anonymous" person has summed up the Steinberg situation perfectly in 3 paragraphs. Well done!

People, Erickson in particular I'd say, have regularly made helpful suggestions to Gene, and you're absolutely right: he doesn't want solutions, he wants cash. And cash with no strings attached at that.

Yep - I agree 100%.

Well hey. I don't think about money non-stop. I do think too much about stupid Gene Steinberg.
I was just looking at the J. Randall Murphy comments on the Jerome Clark episode. What an ass. There's no point in trying to have a discussion with him though as he'll just ban and delete if he or his master don't like where things go. And that aside, it strikes me he'll never change his mind based on the words of others.

I was just doing the same thing a few minutes ago and coincidentally I was thinking the same thing of Randall, what an ass he is...

Lol yes Randlebot's statements that:
What utter and complete garbage. Fraudulent begging is not monetising your podcasts in the wrong way, it is FRAUD pure and simple.
As we have seen Gene has a long history of it and at the present time the podcast exists solely for the purpose of Gene to continue his fraudulent begging. It is not the other way round. The proceeds of the false begging have never been used to fund the podcast (not that that would negate the fraud), they have been used to fund Gene's out of control lifestyle. Randle knows it and is simply ignoring it.
If I robbed a bank while running a podcast, that doesn't make robbing the bank OK. Yes it is OK to ask for donations and monetise your podcasts. It is not OK to try to use them as some kind of bizarre justification for crime or other unethical behaviour - but that is the argument that Randlebot was making.
"It's OK he has a podcast so any bad behaviour must be considered as a monetisation error, rather than something unethical or immoral." - try telling that to the police.
I suppose that is the lie that Randlebot must tell himself in order to stop his brain from crashing due to the fear of impending doom that being hitched to Crimberg brings.

Not sure if this is relevant as I am basing this thought on UK law.
All this malarkey with the parasite not working a real job.
Could it be that he will never get a proper job as with all those outstanding fines/loans and wot-not the gov can attach a 'Attachment of Earnings' which means if you owe money they can have a set amount deducted direct from the parasite wage packet before the parasite even gets a sniff of it. Another option is bailiffs who can enter their premises and remove goods owned by the parasite to cover the cost of outstanding debts.
Perhaps this is a reason he refuses to work a real job, amongst other excuses like just being as thick as two short planks preferring to beg for money rather than lift a finger.
Any-ways just thinking out loud but I don't expect any of my above thoughts are relevant due to differing laws etc.
As a side note I hope this coming week to be able to make a post here on my weird paranormal experiences when I was much younger, work is currently busy which has prevented me posting much since I sought refuge here from that parasites paracast site.

That's come up before in speculation - the theory he avoids a regular paycheck since the wages would likely be garnished to pay his outstanding debts. Keep in mind he discharged loads (if not all) of those debts in his 2016 bankruptcy filing. But he's since been evicted a few times and likely has new bills that someone could try to collect.

Musing about the most recent UFO Trail blog post on Gene... the Torson one. I'm sure there's more dirt on Gene but I am not certain where one would look. And it probably doesn't matter really. Some people will continue to support him.
I have to wonder about his ongoing shady activities we are unaware of. But, we'll hear of those someday, or not.
I think a final piece of curiosity for me is his claim he gets no money for all the GCN ads. This has never made much sense. By many opinions he ruined the show or drove away a lot of listeners by having so many ad interruptions. I do not know that world but it's hard to believe he's getting nothing out of it. Everything he does seems designed, granted in kind of a half assed squirrelly way, to direct more cash toward his bottomless pockets.
Anyway I'm sure he'll dismiss the revelations in this latest blog post as a vicious attack, taking information out of context, and so on, and be emailing his daily story of woe again soon enough. He needs $1.08 for another cheeseburger, etc.

folks my Thanksgiving day was depressing. my interview on wendsday was with a company that simply has no ethics. they treat the employee like dirt.
Turnover is massive. I left the interview feeling unclean. I did not get a job. I'm taking money from my Roth IRA to live till my unemployment benefits come in.
at this point Gene will ask for cash. I will only ask for any thoughts and prayers come my way.

Here is an article about Gene's fellow GCN host Alex Jones. Essentially Gene is correct - GCN does not share its ad revenue. Jones makes money by using the network to hawk his supplements. In theory Gene could make money by selling his own ads or items from the new Paracast shop, which is sure to be coming soon . . .
Whether it works for Gene is another issue. Does the network bring in enough listeners to compensate for those who are driven away from the ads? If the shows were compelling, the ads might eventually goad people to purchase Paracast Plus memberships, but that would lower the value of advertising. I can't imagine Paracast ads would be worthwhile, particularly considering the rate sheet that was posted awhile back.
At one point, I thought that other models could work better, but Gene has lost his credibility and even the famous Paracast forums are just a shell.

Looking for work can be a difficult process but if you felt unclean from the interview, working there would have magnified that. Something will come your way.

Sorry to hear that. Not the best time of year to be in a tough situation like that.

I keep wondering why people listen to the Paracast. I haven’t tuned in for the past two years at least. The O’Brien shows were not very good in all honesty. There seems to be some weird hope that Steinberg and Murphy will turn things around. That would seem to be a fool’s errand. The show is nothing more than a means to allow Steinberg to ask for cash.
Steinberg and Murphy are delusional in thinking that anyone is listening these days. The forums are deserted and yet Steinberg watches like a hawk, making sure no one speaks any evil about himself. He’s clearly psychotic and let’s hope it all comes crashing down around him and Murphy in the near future.

Thanks Erickson, that kills that conspiracy theory.
It doesn't explain why Crimeberg stays on GCN though. It makes the show unlistenable, drives people away and he doesn't even get a cut. Like many things related to him it does not compute.
