Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

When speaking about Steinberg, you can’t be harsh enough. People need to understand how he has repeatedly ripped off others without any thought of remorse.

Agreed. He has literally ruined lives (e.g. that Torson fellow) and he is still shamelessly scamming. Charity fraud is not a victimless crime, neither is professional squatting - his potential future victims need to be warned.

He doesn't deserve any sympathy he deserves to be locked up so he can't harm anyone else - I doubt that will happen so spreading the word is the best we can hope for. Nobody should feel bad about doing that - it is a public service.

Whats with the Torsen fellow? Whats that about?

It's the poor guy that Gene conned into "lending" him $40K using his fake sob stories. Not some bank, not a loan company, just a regular guy who made the mistake of believing Gene at his word.

Of course Gene never paid him back and Gene managed to get the debt terminated in his bankruptcy so he will never get a penny back.

Bankruptcy was not created to let conmen weasel out of debts, it was supposed to be a way of protecting entrepreneurs who take risks because of the potential benefit new businesses provide to communities.

Scumbags like Gene abuse the system. He is the exact opposite of a benefit to the community, he brings no value to anyone, if anything he sucks it out because he is just a parasite.

It's weird how things can be misused to do the exact opposite of what they were created for.

Ignorance isn’t bliss!
Yeah that is pathetic for Nick Redfern to show support for that Scamberg by being a part of his podcast...

...
You can't have a go at Nick.Judging by the content of the book,he is leading by example when it comes to recycling!.Something we should all aspire to.;)

Will Anders come through?

Reading this I am reminded of Jeremy Vaeni's characterization of Gene as a "crisis actor". Seems entirely apt to me. All these distress signals out of him for months and years, but he's fine. Was fine, is fine, will be fine.

He has, to use his own words, a roof over his head and food on the table. He still has a car, and a smartphone. However dire things are he has the time and resources to produce not one but two podcasts each week, and moderate his forum. He wants your money but he really doesn't need your help.

He has other options, and he chooses to live this way. No one but Gene has to pay for his choices.

Oh and look, Anders is back. Told you he was real. :p (Still, the notion that even a "terrific online store" will have any impact is a fairy tale, just something to make it seem like there is hope on the horizon, and he only needs your money "in the meantime". As we all know, as Gene knows, he'll never stop wanting and asking for your money. I'm curious Gene, how much money would it take to make an honest man of you? Is there any hope? It doesn't seem possible.)

I’m exhausted, but I know I have to keep working to try to put food on the table.
Lying about doing work is not "working". Begging is not "putting food on the table" and by the way spending your money eating at restaurants just makes this whole line even more disgusting. You never put food on the table, someone else does it for you both in terms of the money and serving it.b0010

The motel is a tremendous drain, and, even with a little help, I can’t keep this going much longer.
You chose this you loser. You could have paid less if you didn't default on rent. This is the best place for you - you are forced to pay or you are out. I sincerely hope you try not to pay so they do chuck you out. Being on the street may be the only way to force you to change.

Bills remain late.
So passive voice again. Assuming this is true bills aren't magically late by some mysterious unforeseen accident. You didn't pay them you scumbag. Stop acting like it has nothing to do with you.

I paid enough to keep the cell phone going for a little longer, but I expect it to be shut down any day now.
Much like the motel bill being paid late, this is complete garbage. You either pay your cellphone in full or you get cut off. There is no middle ground. We are not morons (unlike you).

I had hoped that the new Paracast site — with a terrific online store — would be “live” now, but the developer got loaded up with other work. He promises to finish before the end of the year.
Lol - Just like he promised it would be finished within a few days several months ago on several occasions? Just like your financial problems were going to be swiftly resolved 15 years ago?

So after reading about how you forgot that long running storyline on here you have brought it back. You are so obvious it is a joke. If only you could resist reading every single word people write about you, maybe you would be slightly less ridiculous.

Putting a new lick of paint on a website doesn't take six months and expecting anyone to believe this shows how stupid you are.

This is beyond absurd - you would be better off just trying to pretend you never said any of this. Like pretending the money Torsen gave you wasn't a loan. Or maybe you could declare bankruptcy again to get out of your website revamp. b0018

In the meantime I’m trying, but I need some help.
You never "try" that is why you always need help. Sorry Gene we are getting towards the end of the game now, nobody is going to rescue you from yourself.

If you have any questions about my living situation, please let me know.
Lol he has changed this slightly. Why would people let you know? It's not like someone telling you they are having a baby (and note nobody in your family would tell you that anyway because they wouldn't want to contaminate the baby with your existence). People who have questions about you will just ignore your pleas as spam. The only reason people here respond is because they want to protect others. Nobody cares about your situation, we only care about saving others from YOU. Now crawl back under your rock.

Is that when he loses his storage? He can't keep up with his own lies.

When he reads this he will remember and then make up some garbage excuse for how he held them off for another week or two. - As if it wasn't already beyond the bounds of reality for them to keep his stuff for months without payment and then they would let him pay a small increment to delay selling it off once again.

The guy is so stupid that he can't see how absurd his own lies are and how he kills them with his own inability to remember what he has previously said. There are bad liars and then there is Gene, uniquely bad and inept.

You would think being able to keep up would be a prerequisite for a conman (but I suppose Gene is also cursed with extreme laziness and extreme misplaced faith in his own intellect so he refuses to keep a spreadsheet or even basic notes).

Good for everyone else I suppose because it makes it all the more obvious that he is lying and it allows us all to laugh at how bad he is at this.

Well... he didn't mention storage specifically in this email. For whatever that's worth. Did he manage to make some minimal keep-alive payment (if such is even an option with the merchant) or is the bill paid or was the whole thing lost awhile ago? Or lost now, finally?

The storage space of mystery. A phenomenon almost Fortean.

Then there's the phone. He expects it to be shut down any day now. Want to bet that will never happen?

Doesn't his developer realize that he's the only thing that can save Gene from the terrible fate of being forced to live within his means? Come on, Anders! It's on your head if Gene has to budget.

Not sure if this has been posted, he's also a member here since 2008, I wonder if he used to beg there too, looks like his last visit was earlier this year...
