Should i post anything about MXS?

[Ninjeff]

for those who read other forums, im sure you've read about whats going on. Should i post for a discussion here? The other forums are making my head hurt with the teenager babble and incoherent bits of info and thread vomit.
This situation seems to be an important issue for the community, as it should be. That being said, i dont want to beat a dead horse. Still, i respect the opinions of AO's members more than i do any other sites.


Wanted Mod approval before starting a conversation about this.

Well you got my curriosity. What is it about?

[CKY_Alliance]

Ye, MXS? ...I'm confuzzled...

[Ninjeff]

About the legal...erm...actions levied against Pacman of MXS Scenario games LLC out of Texas.
Pretty important stuff for those who pay attention to the "personal" side of the industry. Lots of really bad things accured, and just about NONE of them are family friendly.

That being warned, here are links to the information as i have found so far. For those who attend scenario games in the south east produced by MXS this is info they should all be aware of.

This guy 10-shot wrote the ebst summery ive found yet, its on specops

And there is another parallel discussion on the same forum.

MXS is a scenario production company. the put on scenario games in the southeast. BIG ones too. I beleive they were in charge of hosting the Camp Blanding MOUT games (not sure on that)

[Dark Side]

Viper took up the last Blanding game. MXS held the one before it.

[Ninjeff]

ahha. Thanks for the clarification.

I see. So basically someone is trying to smear a person's reputation (along with the company he is associated with) by bringing light on his criminal past.

So what if he did what he did. His crime was not business orientated which would be the only concern to do or not do business with him. He served his time and thats that. The legal system has had over 1000 years (yes 1K dating back to the Roman empire) to perfect not only punishments, but preventative measures. He has been punished and no doubt served probationary time and sanctions and treatment to prevent him reoffending.

I would be weary when meeting him, but he has paid for his crimes and as long as he has not continued to be a criminal he deserves a second chance. Besides there is the fact that refusing to do business with this company just because of HIS past hurts many innocents such as his wife.

Wait, so quick recap (to see if I read correctly)...

a) Guy is charged and convicted of 3 sexual crimes.
b) Guy gets out and is a major part of a scenario paintball producer (MXS).
c) Someone whines about his past and he resigns, with his wife still in charge of everything (he's presumably very much in control behind the senes).

And the problem is?

[Jackel411]

Huh... Interesting read.

Not sure what to make of it all but I do belive MXS was around before 2000 which wouldnt make sense...

Dont hold me to that info in my ripe old age of 24 my memory isnt what it used to be.

[Ninjeff]

Hmm. Interesting.

I, for one, find it appalling, and would choose never to play a MXS scenario game.

I beleive these links are copies of the actual documents

http://www.box.net/shared/f38uziqcb4

Page 4 is what discusted me.

anyhow, i would find it to be an important bit of info considering how many minors play paintball. Not to say, or imply, anything.
Still, the more i read about it the more im amazed people are capable of some things.

I guess the logical part of me see's the argument "he paid his time...." etc. But really, i find it insanely disturbing that someone capable of such things is running anything, at all, related to the sport i love. Actually, the heck with that, i cant beleive someone like this only served 8 years of a sentence.

Actually, what brought the whole thing to my attention was his disreputable buisness dealings with Viper Productions and some other, very buisness related things.

Posted by TB-thunderstruck on specopspaintball. TB apparently had some shady buisness dealing with the accused also:

The first is by Joe 'Jammer' Arcurio. It involves the fact that he bought 15% of MXS, when it was MXS Inc. The previous owner of the 15% had never seen a return on his investement, however due to the money that MXS was making, he felt he could facilitate change. He did, they folded MXS Inc, sold or gave the assets of the company to a new firm called MXS, LLC and defrauded Joe of his interests in the company. He has sued and it is still pending trial. They have drawn it out as long as they can with depositions and 4 different attorneys on their behalf.

The second is Patrick McKinnon suing Viper and Viper Paintball. Now in 1996 Patrick owned a field called BSG in Houston. Viper introduced him to scenario paintball at Wayne's events and Viper started Viper Paintball with Wayne Dollacks blessing. Patrick was a part owner by investing some radios that his dad had given him into the company. So at each event, he got 50% of the till as Field Owner and and then 33% of the net of what was left. So when Pacman sold the field at the next Viper event he got banned from the field because he threatened to hurt the new FO. He then tried promplty told Viper he couldnt do games at BSG since he was an owner. With the money situation and such, Viper asked Pacman to sell his share of Viper Paintball. Pacman did so and signed agreements that basically said that he and his got to play Viper games for free for life. In 2001 Viper had a house fire that destroyed his records. Patrick knew this, in fact we had a charity game for Viper to help him out. However it appears that after Viper announced he was getting Blanding and Pacman could not stop Blanding from kicking Viper to the curb, he chose to sue him for never buying him out and dared Viper to produce the contract or receipt that he had paid him off.
