Kaiser Bob, AKA Anthony Jones

[GT]

I strongly recommend someone in the Houston area to deal with him. The man has priority issues that desperately need to be adjusted.

Like I said,
I have been to his complex but not to his place. I will stop by in the next week or so and see if his car is there. If the rumor mill is correct he is in DFW.

CodeMA... Unless you're gonna go find him, collect everything that he owes people, and take responsibility for getting it to us, stop making promises for KB, and butt out of this thread, because its pretty obvious that this is between us and him, not you.

OK so why post all this drama on AO? People want info on the guy, others on here have such info.... whats the big deal? BTW its kinda silly to transfer all of KB's liability to someone here in houston and none of us are KB's Jesus.


I am more than willing to help out IF the guy is still in houston...

]I do believe it took a visit from Riotz to get it done.

I knew Jeff went and visited someone, I just couldn't remember the exact incident. I was just saying last night if he still lived in Jersey, Im sure we could round up some people and pay him a visit.

If the AO TX people know his address, stop by and see whats up. Although, apparently Stacy (Digi_Girl) talked to him last night, and he was sitting in his apartment that he had been evicted from, so who knows how much longer he'll be there.

I hope this gets resolved very soon, and I commend Thermos for his patience. This is nothing other then theft at this point. KB made a contract with Thermos, took thermos's consideration, and did not live up to his end of his contractual obligation.

I say involve the police. I like KB and all, but that is unacceptable. He's not telling his friend of 10 years "I'm sorry man, I'll make it up to you", he's saying it to a complete stranger.

[Jeffy-CanCon]

I agree with Newt on this. But even among old friends, dodging away from hundreds of dollars of debts is unacceptable. From a quick read of this thread, there are at least two counts of fraud, plus the bad check he had his g/f write.

Well I am headed to DFW at the end of May. I know that's a ways away, but I'm willing to do something too.

Mindflux, bro, I know, I said 11EST=10CT=8Westcoast I just left out the west part, but there were indeed 3 time zones there...

Fred, Im not making promises for him, nor do I think I could collect from him monaterily even if I wanted to(and I do, I would be right in the frey if I could be, if I thought he truely had the money right now to collect)

Right now, Im seeing this as you cant draw blood out of a rock thing, yes it shouldnt have happened like this, but it did, it needs to be resolved, but right now short of repoing like, his car and cr4p, theres not too much that could be done besides have him thrown in jail....

[lord1234]

i say repo his car...he screwed up...he needs a lesson in humility...and a trip to Gamblers anonymous.

And having him in jail doesn't make me feel better, or put the 640 dollars back in my pocket. If I don't get him on the phone pretty soon, I will contact the police, and see what they can do. But, as you said, you can get blood out of a rock. Thats exactly what my mother said when I explained to her the situation for her opinion.

[Thermus]

I just got ahold of him on the phone. He says he got evicted from his apartment, and is just starting to get back on his feet. He says he got a job. He offered to send me a free tank, but I didn't really say I wanted it, just asked him when he thought he oculd pay me back. He says its really high on his priorities list, and that he never meant to rip anybody off.

Also, he says he had to sell his Shatner X Mag to get somebody out of jail, or he would have sent that to me (how sick would that have been? ). I told him I would call him in around 2 weeks, he said it shouldn't even take that lon got get me my money back. Also, he has a job where he has access to a computer so he said he could send me an email whenever he gets the money. I can wait another week or two, and I have his phone number, so I think it might be alright.

I'm tyring to be optimistic about the whole thing, he seems like a pretty nice guy. And he sounded sincere with his apology.

[1stdeadeye]

Been following this thread. Glad to see you finally talked to him. However, his trading rep here is trash now.

Thermus you have shown much more patience then I would have. I hope you get your $$ back soon!

Wow, that guy has issues. Winning 30k, blowing it on various stuff, selling guns cheap, losing said guns, selling guns to bail people out, getting evicted. He has earned a solid place on my "do not trade with" list. Sounds like he needs to take steps to get his life in order.

[tony3]

I think this is a great lesson in life, if you win 30k don't buy tons of paintball gear....

[CodeMA]

Good good...

anyway...tony, what are you thinking?

sure, buy a nice marker setup or two if you win 30k, but take care of buesness first...

[tony3]

I know, it was a joke, I'd probably.....buy like a dry cleaning store for no reason at all or something like that....

I heard almost the same things four months ago....
