Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How do you know they for sure got T+ because I would bet they got an animal he sourced from elsewhere seeing he holds his animals in such high regards.

I believe Ming is being paid to analyze and do damage control. One of the things he is doing here is putting the spotlight on Michelle and trying to take it away from Ty.
For instance, it has been a while since the possible criminal implications of Ty holding a raffle has been discussed, and I believe the Ty supporters have intentionally steered the conversation away from such discussion.
Early in the thread I also analyzed raffle statutes that it appears the IRCF had run astray of.
Florida has some pretty specific laws, about raffles. (ALL PRIZES MUST BE AWARDED) It also has pretty specific laws about GAMBLING
And it has specific laws about WHO CAN HOLD A RAFFLE.

All I know by looking at this situation, that if Michelle went hard enough, I know there can be criminal charges. Some jurisdictions address issues differently from others so I would look at case history in the area this is being heard and see what the outcomes of those cases are.
You paid to play, you won and you weren't awarded your prize. You need to go after lost wages, inconvenience, slander, attorneys fees, court costs, cost of lost time breeding your animal, sun isn't shining fee... all of it +35%.

As I said in my previous post what Ty did is a crime,he ran a raffle and he did not send out all of the prizes, he could do it now and completely diffuse the situation however something called ego has crept in, ego or not what he did is a crime......until he sends out the prize. More importantly and what truly amazes me is that he would rather see the IRFC get into to trouble than do the right thing and what he was supposed to do, simple fix, ship the tegu that was promised.

ohh but he won't because he keeps claiming he did everything possible and asked for her address twice !!! and she refused to give it to him, which is another LIE, he seems to always leave out the part where he purposely ignores her questions, refuses to tell her what he's sending and keeps playing games by toying with her to see how greedy she is.. so he changes his own rules for the raffle, lies, tries to switch it with an undisclosed breeder, insults her , gets his gang to bully/threaten her on social media and he then acts surprise that the winner feels this raffle is scam'ish ?? really Ty ?? how would you expect someone to feel with the BS you pulled..
he just will not put it in his thick skull that the entire problem here is his fault.
many came forward in his first facebook post when some realized that she had proof and posted it, he deleted/blocked the ones who dared say he's wrong.
then the second post, when some started tuning in to show proof and question him, he blocked them too and now everyone is blocked except his friends, which none will dare speak up because he will block them too
ahh and then turtle dude shows up, seem to have an awakening at some point and realizes Ty did wrong, but then spends time with his friend on his now private and controlled forum and gets brainwashed, comes back here actually copy pastes texts and images that just shows proof of Ty's wrong doing and he too is so thick that he can't even realize that he's making himself and ty look worst he even tried to twist words and meanings by trying to guess what Ty might have meant, he even lied and added words that Ty never mentioned" like here!!
So ty told michelle that he is going to send her one of his albinos that he bred (t+),
never EVER did Ty tell her he would ship a T+, had he done so, this entire mess would not exist..
of course it's a simple fix, but not anymore, he will lose face by caving in, and now that Michel had to spend $$ to get her prize which she still doesn't have, it will just get worst.
any Judge will rule against him, his goal is to do everything he can to get Michelle to back away and drop it because he has $$, he will stall this all he can because he can't be that un-intelligent to not realize that her case is just too strong and straight forward.
the best day will be when he loses, has to pay her all of her fees plus the value of the reptile he owes her, and extra for the stress he caused. And put a lien on his home in case he doesn't pay up.
even if that non profit organisation of his is dragged in the mud by Ty's fault, so be it, it's their own doing for not doing the right thing to begin with..they could have stepped in, tell ty to send her the prize, but they didn't .

According to OP, the Florida AG looked into this. Appears to be no crime.

Your conclusions make no sense when you take the actual facts into account, as a data analyst I'm very confused how you can come to this conclusion given the data available.

hi Allison,
below is the screen shot posted by OP that say says he will send her a tegu that he produced. The last line in the messages says this. In the thread of the messages, OP states to Ty that she is not happy with another person's tegu, reminds Ty of the raffle and Ty responds with this. A lot of people have over looked this statement, I think mostly because there is no avatar attached with this statement by Ty on the screen shot.

"did not send out t he prizes" vs OP did not accept the prize are two very different things. Screen shots show for almost 2 months he attempted to send out the prize. Go re-read the screen shots again.

So how is it that he could do that, since he stated that he did not produce any and would be buying them from another person, and that he would not be giving her the higher value tegu as that was not the agreement. He stated all this very clearly and precisely, then makes a vague statement that contradicts everything else he has said, in hopes it will make Michelle stop asking questions about the tegu's origins. If you would believe that he was actually sending her a tegu from his own line after all that then I have some magic beans you may be interested in...
