Brainstorming in Lake Tahoe

May 2nd 2007: In this post on IAFF, Casey decides on a whim to ditch his wife and take a pointless "business trip".

Casey has apparently hit the low point of his bipolar disorder cycle, and decides to take a "random" trip to Lake Tahoe, supposedly to perform a braindump. Ditching his wife Galina, Casey writes:

The benefit of reaching a breakthrough and resulting burst of productivity for weeks to come will be well worth the small investment. So it’s a business trip…

Since the ultimately pointless excursion was classified as a business trip, Casey pays for the entire affair (hotel, gas, food, and possibly some casino gambling) with sweet corporate credit financed by his quasi-legal company, Hammar Investments. Casey lets us know that he fixed the broken window on V-Dubs with the help of his brother Steve Serin.

He also plans to send out an egotism-filled update through his personal mailing list, saying that "his people" haven't been updated in four months. Who these people are is anyone's guess... but his ominous use of the phrase "fun and profitable for everyone involved" suggests that another "investment opportunity" may be brewing.

Casey ends on a positive, if not manic, note: "From facing foreclosure to facing success! All this debt is gonna get paid off in no time at all!"

[edit] Comments

In the comments, Casey apologizes for the profound delay in moderating other people's comments, saying:

I installed a new plugin for WordPress to help me manage user permissions better. This way I can give you instant comments again but with more control. But for some reason the plugin now locked me out of the system and I have to go into the DB and disable it manually. Hey I guess it will give me an excuse to get more familiar with the schema. Itsallgood.

Casey soon proposes that people "bribe him" with a PayPal donation so that they can comment instantly, which draws raucous laughter and ridicule from the Haterz™. Casey asks if anyone wants to visit him in Lake Tahoe, which draws essentially the same response. Ultimately, Casey caves in and allows free instant commenting for those who register, which surprisingly doesn't immediately turn out to be an unmitigated disaster. Casey elaborates further on the nature of his trip:

I’m not trying to write a soap opera here. This is real life. Things don’t magically fix themselves. Basically I had to either make some money in like 3 days time or borrow money. I chose the latter. But I’m getting VERY VERY sick of all this borrowing. The jobs I have been doing are obviously not bringing in enough to stay afloat. So that’s what my trip is all about. To get focused and put together an action plan.

Commenter "unbelivable" notes that: "Brainstorming sessions *usually* involve more than 1 person. Did you take someone to Tahoe with you? A team of people?"; Casey replies slightly sheepishly: "No no teams of people… I guess I used the wrong term."

Casey denies an allegation that Paul Prestwich is his Local Rich Dad™, claiming that Prestwich was merely the previous owner of the building where Rich Dad and son Dustin work. Casey neglects to mention that his Rich Dad is neither his Dad, nor is he rich, although he admits:

Things didn’t work out because they [Rich Dad and Dustin] didn’t really have any kind of a mentoring program setup for me (it was mostly all talk) and they have been doing almost no deals because they are waiting for RE market to stabilize.

So "Rich Dad" is actually a "Poor Nobody". Big surprise.

Finally, putative associate LossMitPro rattles the haterz' cage:

For you folks whom wish to unlawfully enjoin others associated with Casey by veiled and suggestive disparagement, outlandish and speculative fodder, unlawful investigations serving no purpose? Be forewarned! Some associated with these matters are apt to test the legal theories aggressively, and with affect.

CaseyPedia would like to note that LossMitPro is a fine, upstanding member of the highly-respectable loss mitigation profession. His client, however, is a slippery fraudster.

Stay tuned to see if "what happens in Tahoe, stays in Tahoe" for our intrepid anti-hero...
