Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

The shadow

The shadow knows!
Specifically, one of my online accounts was hijacked, and my personal bank account number was posted. This happened minutes after somebody promised to send me a donation, for which I supplied the information needed to send a direct deposit. Fortunately the bank monitors social networks. They informed me of what happened, closed the account, and set up a new account with different numbers.

Because YOU posted your bank info PUBLICLY on Twitter Gene!
And Gene ..I'm not the one going to McDonald's and digging into a ball pit for a payday.

As stated the reasons the flowers were sent was to apologize for YOU sending her contact info out! And letting her know you did it!
 
Holy shit my head is spinning after catching up with today's events. I think I've said this before but this meltdown certainly feels different. I think we may be watching the end of the Paracast.

Wow, there is a lot to unpack there.

First, Gene, this isn't and will not be a one-time statement. You've sung this sad song before many times and I'm certain you'll sing it again.

I know pretty much anyone who might read this is already on board with all of what I am about to say, but, Gene:

- No one is against you earning a living. That's crazy. People (other than J. Randall Murphy, of course) are against you getting money out of others through fraudulent pretenses. If you could earn a living I think everyone who's aware of you would be relieved. Shocked, but relieved. But you're so clearly addicted to donations here you talk about earning a living merely making it "easier to end the need for outside help."

- You tweeted your own bank account information. How many times do we need to go over this? And, the bank monitors social networks? Riiiight. Gene you left your account info up on Twitter for weeks and weeks, only deleting the tweet after I favorited it, tipping you off to the fact it was there.

- You did not lose your last lease for the reasons you cite here. You lost it because you didn't pay your rent. Apartment complexes could give a shit less about someone sending them flowers to apologize for your bad behavior, or someone calling and saying you're a bad risk (which you clearly are, by the way - not that I condone someone calling the apartment complex but, they weren't wrong). They care about you upholding the terms of the lease, chief among them being that you pay your rent. Do you know how many times I've had to 'negotiate' with an apartment complex rental office? ZERO. Because when I rented, I paid my rent! Again: how many times do we need to go over this?

- Yes, people have made phony offers of cash to you, and you've jumped at them. OK. This happens to legitimate journalists and other podcast hosts all the time. Has nothing to do with your freaky ways at all. Those guys at Mysterious Universe, I've heard they've driven to McDonald's all over Australia in hopes of being handed a bag of cash. Must just come with the territory. The Internet giveth and the Internet plays you for a fool sometimes too I guess.

- I think it's wrong to jerk you around with a fake offer to buy the Tech Night Owl.

- Hmmm. The thread is not open... because others have refused you the right to respond? OK....

- "Evil stunts". That you're going to stop in their tracks. Well nice work Supergirl. This from the guy who by his own words can't track of his own spending such that he put his PayPal account into the red multiple times in just the past couple weeks. Go to it, mastermind. "Well Officer, you see, I send out about six emails a week asking UFO enthusiasts for money to pay for a motel room, and some people just have hate in their hearts I guess...."

Gene Steinberg: stop lying. You are the source of all of your problems. Further, you exaggerate those problems wildly. You're living in a motel, not Hell itself. You still crank out your podcast! You have a car.

I really am going to try (again) to take a break from all this. But first, I will say it crossed my mind that Gene claims harassment going back to 2010, but then cites specific instances from only the past year, at least 2 of which I know to be untrue and 1 which is dubious. Then the Tech Night Owl story, I will admit I committed the cardinal sin of dealing with Gene in that I believed his story. Who knows what really went on there.

Anyway. This is all making me meaner than I care to be. It also seems like the proverbial wrestling a pig in mud. Gonna try to step away from the madness for awhile. Wish me luck! ;)

I keep thinking of taking a break, but the sheer drama of ten minutes to spare is compelling.

Lol that is so plausible. Now he wants us to believe that he is playing chicken with the motel payment and the motel is somehow tolerating that. Only in the twisted mind of Gene could that ever be a thing. In real life the motel would kick him out.

Sending these ebegs would be wholly incongruent with an anxiety based disorder. People with anxiety tend to avoid attention.
All additional details are there just to juice the grift. They are likely complete fabrications, fantasies, or exaggerations designed to elicit sympathy. Damn he must have some stubbornly stupid marks, if he has any regular suckers at all by now.

This is the one thing I still wonder about. Who is still sending money to Steinberg? You would have to think with the uptick in all the emails he sends out, the money is no longer coming in as in past years.

Steinberg reminds me of someone in their castle with a moat around it. He is trying to fend off the barbarians who are trying to attack him. He can control what goes on behind the gate. It's those pesky, hateful heathens that are trying to get at him still.

The supplies (money) are being cut off. No more "fun money" these days. He must be shitting bricks with the situation in front of him.
 
It's starting to look like the dumbass believes his own twisted version of events, and isn't just trying to weasel out of responsibility. It's equal parts sad and funny. Whenever I get to feeling bad about making fun of the putz, I remind myself of his crimes. The ones documented by various governments and courts.

Give it up, Junior. You are done. Sell the archive to Nivek. He'll do right by it.

You have to give it to Steinberg, he is one very lucky man. Month after month we get to listen to his mantra about needing to come up with the motel rent money by 11am each day or he and the missus are out on their asses. Of course, never once has he failed to come up with the dough. He is so lucky that he should run directly to the casino and place a wager. He has to win with his streak of daily luck. With his winnings we shouldn’t need to hear about giving him money ever again.

Guys this one is "Important!" - please don't forget it, at least until the next one comes at which point it will be like this message never happened.

Important!
Hello,

We’ve been at a motel for 7 months now, paying for more than a decent apartment in this area.

I barely make the daily payment to stay here.

The main reason that I cannot get out of here and move to a much cheaper place is that I’ve not been able to raise enough extra money to also cover the move-in.

It’s a vicious cycle.

I am doing my best to boost income. In addition to the ride-sharing gigs, the new Tech Night Owl and Paracast stores are about to debut. When the first is fully active, there will be dozens and dozens of premium products for customers of Apple gear, including Macs.

As it stands today, cash is very short. In order to survive, I desperately need your help.

Can you send a donation today?

To send a donation, please login to: Send Money, Pay Online or Set Up a Merchant Account - PayPal, login and use the Send to friends and family option. Enter my email address, gene@technightowl.com, and click or tap Next to continue the transaction.

As you may know, online stalkers have been attacking me for years, sometimes playing vicious pranks as well. If you want to know what’s really going on, please check this article: The Stalkers | The Tech Night Owl — Cutting-Edge Tech Commentary

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to write.

Thank you for reading and for your past support.

Peace,
Gene

Actually--GriftyGene is big on being truthful and correct doncha know--I recall that he is currently in his THIRD fleabag motel and not just the one.

The first two 86'ed him as best I can tell, nonpayment in one case, and probably just "His Geneness" in the other, although they may have used the the hapless #TeamTeddyBear as an excuse in that instance. Imagine what it must be like having this spud around day after day. Frankly, I'd set the clock ahead in the office so it was "11" at, like "9" in order to get him outta there when he showed up there with his filthy lucre.
