Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

Since we are taking a momentary diversion into home environment, I thought I would share my garage conversion. I wanted to create a man-cave for myself and my pals. I will be getting a pool table. 0e8dafeda6f76c1abffb13ab4b92e7da.jpg

Of course, Gene leaves out the critical information about his scamming people for money via bogus stories of constant crisis which would explain WHY these things are happening to him. Once again, sharing FACTS with people is not hatred. Facts are fact. However, for the record I have not been contacting anyone. I suspect that such activity is happening via the UFO Trails blog.

There's a dearth of activity on the paracast forums recently.Since Chris officially left the drop off has been glaringly obvious.I hope Gene realises his culpability and comes clean about everything.I don't want him or anyone to be homeless him reaching rock bottom and showing genuine penance may lead to people forgiving him and be the beginning of him rebuilding his life and credibility.

Are you dense? Didn't you read he said the ONLY viable option to get out of this situation is to give him money? I mean, is that too hard to understand? Its none of your business why he needs it, its his personal life, who are you to ask anyway? Just give it to him, you ingrate.

And by all means, don't be an idiot and set the option for Paypal to take fees, set it to friends and family, and *maybe* he'll throw in a couple pages of a Rockoids eBook preview. Its bad enough it's probably going to be less than five figures we're talking here.

God, what is wrong with all of you people???

I mean, they should be honored to be guests. You pay a tip to restaurant servers, right? And this isn't a free ride for robots either, some has gotta run them right? Pay up!

Honoured guests or guest of honour?...lol

WHAT?!?! You mean that Goggs MacKay isn't as popular as Chris O'Brien and bringing in the same quality of participation?

Yeah landlords tend to be able to do whatever they want with a court order after not getting rent for several months. Also, how the hell does a guy who runs a TECH PODCAST get his account numbers stolen several times? Didn't he post his own information on Twitter?

Yes, back in mid-March I believe, someone was trolling him offering him money. This person had previously insulted Gene on Twitter but Gene, in the grips of cash lust, ignored this. Among the tweets he initially sent to the guy (iirc the person pranking Gene replied to one of Gene's tweets @theparacast, then Gene replied to that reply, etc. etc.) were three tweets including bank account and routing numbers for at least two of Gene's bank accounts. Gene was hoping the guy would wire him money.

Instead things shifted to, the guy was going to meet Gene at a McDonald's in Mesa to hand him a bag of cash. Gene raced to the McDonald's, only to be told he was at the wrong McDonald's. The troll got him to go to another McDonald's, then Gene finally figured it out.

Last time I looked most of Gene's replies and the tweets to Gene were still available. Gene had deleted the ones with his bank account info in them, but only after more leaving them up for more than a month. My theory is that Gene thought the reply tweets were direct messages and didn't realize anyone could view the thread and see his info.

Since this incident Gene has admitted a heartless prankster led him on a "merry chase" for a non-existent sack of cash, but he has also claimed multiple times that the bank account info being out there was the result of his Twitter account being hacked. I think Gene just doesn't understand Twitter very well. I am not an expert at Twitter mind you but I think may just not get it. You may disagree but in my mind there is absolutely no chance the bank account info being there was the result of a hack; Gene put it there and left it there, and of course as always with Gene, it's someone else's fault. (And frankly I think it's possible Gene thinks he was hacked because he STILL doesn't comprehend that he tweeted, rather than direct messaged, the info himself.)

Have I mentioned I am drained of any sympathy for Gene? In the recent frantic begging related to his ongoing eviction, his blaming of the landlord and proclaiming to his listeners his fate is on the listener's hands... I'm done. He is always the victim, he accepts no responsibility, and he is just going to do this over and over, as many times as he can get away with it. He was 'threatening' to resign himself to moving into a nursing home in his latest email. If it's actually possible for him to get into one, maybe it's the best idea at this point. As his emails of the last many years demonstrate, he can't or won't take care of himself. As I have said, I agree with Gene that he needs help, I just disagree that handing him cash has ever helped him at all. In any case, he's brought his current sorry state upon himself.

Apparently imminent homelessness and lack of money of any kind is not enough to deter ole' Gene from lecturing others on his forums in such a crisis situation:

Gene Steinberg replied to the thread The Official Paracast Political Thread! — Part Five.

Now minus all the spin, the IG report clearly demonstrates that Comey's actions made Trump President. Six takeaways from the Justice watchdog report on the Clinton email investigation - CNNPolitics

    Back up here, my friend. It's not a place to attack people. You can like whom you like.

It is truly baffling to behold.

I think for me at this point I just have to take Gene Steinberg as a cautionary tale and do everything I can do avoid a similar fate. I have a job that is not podcasting / Uber / Lyft, so that's a start I hope.

I can't help but wonder if he's been thrown out yet. It sounded imminent, if one could believe his most recent update. Always a problem with that guy - what can you actually believe, of what he says?

His cash situation and this eviction left me a little puzzled - he managed to move into the place around April 11. I will assume he paid his rent for April / April pro-rated (I don't know of course but I'd think he had to pay that to get into the apartment). But from his emails I believe that he is two months in the hole on rent now, so presumably did not pay his rent for May or June. On May 25 Gene announced he needed almost $700 immediately for car insurance, which just a couple days later he said he had managed to raise. On June 14 he said the community manager wouldn't take his rent payment. So did he have all he owed them then? He owed over $3,800 if I recall the judgment against him.

I don't know. It's just a mystery. Did I mention how badly I want to avoid anything like Gene's fate in my own life? Carry on, please. :)
