BelowTheCrowd, or BTC is a self-proclaimed internet personality (but not a personality web 2.0 marketing guy) who joined the ranks of the true haterz™ only recently, after determining that any attempt at providing useful advice to Casey was a waste of time and not much fun.

BTC runs a consulting business in the Los Angeles area, has a solid line of corporate credit and owns no real estate. He occasionally posts comments about Casey Serin on his own infrequently-updated blog.

His experience as the actual owner of an actual California corporation with actual income has provided BTC with sufficent knowledge to be able to frequently question some of Casey's schemes, particularly with regards to corporate credit and the use of the corporation in general. However, he has also challenged many haterz™ in their assertion that taking money out of a private corporation is necessarily illegal or fraudulent. He asserts that the practice is stupid, but not illegal.

BelowTheCrowd was the first hater on IAFF to note that Casey's corp did in fact exist, and was active.[1]

Shortly after becoming one of the haterz™, BTC wrote two blog entries which received some attention from other haterz™, the first critiquing Casey's May 25th talkcast and subsequent blog posts[2], and the second explaining why he was declining Casey's invitation to call in to the following talkcast[3]. He later wrote a blog comment comparing Casey to convicted Enron CEO Jeff Skilling[4].

He lives with serves the whims of two cats who are also haterz™, and has admitted to a bizarre fascination with fellow hater Aspeth[5] He has known fellow hater Sprezzatura since childhood, when their grandparents owned houses on the same street.

BTC has an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and an MBA. He has spent most of his life in Manhattan and various cities in the western United States.
