Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

I’ll bet you $100 that Don Ecker finally put a stop to the chain. Regardless of whether you find him entertaining or boring, he seems like a pretty stand-up (crotchety) guy.

I hope you are right. I doubt even Ecker could stop Gene against his will. I feel that there must be something else going on which is providing Gene with his grifting buzz.

I assume Grifty Gene told Ecker that he'd respect him in the morning, and that was good enough for the old soldier.

Steinberg gave Ecker space on the Paracast to allow Ecker to say his peace about the Dark Matters program. Perhaps this is the reason Ecker is so obliging towards Steinberg.

Ecker strikes me as the kind of guy who really isn't much into changing his mind about anything or anyone. But perhaps I'm unaware of some instances of this. I cannot recall what he had to say about Imbrogno after that phony was finally depantsed but, I do remember he commented on it, the stolen valor aspect I think, some doubts he'd had perhaps?

On another thread here below I make mention of something GS has said in his recent newsletter, him taking the side of a slanderous write up full of biased assumptions to discredit Elizondo and TTAS...

To The Stars Academy: Investigating the Unexplained

...

Fortunately for the UFO-interested community, it has people like Gene Steinberg with the credibility and moral authority to call people out and demand they produce documentation of their claims.

A sock puppet perhaps?...

As an Admin, can Gene make up fake profiles and leave positive comments about the Paracast? I bet he can. Probably even messages himself telling himself how good he is.

I am sure that as forum owner he can do that, whether or not he has or does, I can't say for certain.

I have the memory that it seemed like he or someone had created a lot of dodgy seeming accounts to make it seem like the Paracast Plus had more members than it did. An account of that is somewhere here in this thread I believe. Again just seemed that way, who could prove it from the outside? I don't know if anyone here who was a Paracast forum member or admin in the past has any insights on fake accounts there.

As for the Paracast forum post above... I can imagine that someone just started listening to the show and likes it; it's possible. The over the top praise in that post seems really odd to me, hard to imagine, but... eh, who knows. Takes all kinds after all.

Then again after all this time I think if nothing else we've established that Gene Steinberg is not known for his honesty.

There has been a lot of that over there. That guy Mike who posted here for a while, a so-called moderator at the Parasite until he got his head out of his ass far enough to figure out he was being used, posted some interesting stuff here or maybe elsewhere. There was a list of "members" of the Parasite forum who had never posted, two or three dozen women from around the New York City area, mostly 23 years old or thereabouts. Seems rather, um, unlikely. We know he manipulated every little thing he can figure out how to manipulate over there, to the point of jacking with time zones to make it look like there is some activity (yeah, to morons maybe) or getting rid of some buttons and links that make it too easy to see it's a desolate wasteland, or reading PMs, or editing posts others have made for no good reason. So yeah, sock puppets are right up his alley.

Exactly. Sock puppetry is a known tactic of his. That recent post uses language and talks about things that are eerily similar to Schemey himself - particularly that reference to everyone being on FB which is something no normal person would say it seems completely out of place. The only thing that would give it away more would be a reference to his usual pop culture talking points but even Schemey is not that stupid. So either it is a Steinberg clone or he is doing his old sock puppetry again. I think the former might be more disturbing.
