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.

The picture in post #200 shows a raffle taking place in Arizona, with the IRCF staff congratulating Michelle on her win.
If this was not an Arizona non profit raffle,which is one of the exceptions, there are some criminal statutes against gambling in Arizona which may apply against the IRCF.
Ty certainly had a major part in this debacle.

That would be an easy way out for Ty. Thought Judge Judy show pays the awarded person. Meaning if you won the $3000.00 claim, that show pays it. Part of the incentive to go there to make the tv show. Unlike a normal court setting where even if you win you still have to collect which could be an even longer process.

You are absolutely correct, the show pays ALL costs including travel, accommodations, damages etc. They obviously know what the awards are going to be before they solicit the plaintiff. They peruse recent small claims records and contact the plaintiff to see if they are interested, unfortunately it does require both parties to consent.
This would have been a very easy out for Ty so now it seems increasingly obvious that his stubborn pride is what is standing in the way of resolving this matter.
Unless he truly believes his counter claim is all he needs to take care of this.

I can understand not wanting to air dirty laundry to the world but not going on the judge judy show probably wasn't the best decision because the show settles disputes through arbitration and not litigation, ty wouldnt have any civil judgement added to his record if he loses. Plus as already stated the show would have paid whatever they decided was fair to award michelle so not only would he get a free all expense paid trip to LA, his wallet and record wouldn't take a hit. Sure I can understand not wanting to have a televised record of you being wrong but I'd definitely have to seriously consider going on the show to avoid there being a court record plus having someone else pay my debt for me and a paid vacation are pretty tempting.

If it were me, I'd MUCH rather risk losing in small claims court, than doing so on national TV, regardless of Judge Judy paying the award.

Wrong. It was the smartest decision Ty could make.
Go back to the letter that the IRCF wrote, where it stated that Ty "organized and manged" the raffle. The problem is that as a non-charity, Ty legally can't hold any raffles. The last thing you want to have hanging over your head in a civil suit is, as I heard a judge rather delicately put it a few years back, "Fifth Amendment issues".
Further, the IRCF doesn't get to benefit from Ty's illegal acts by stating that they had no involvement - but oh by the way, we're happy to take the cash from it and run.
That is not the kind of information you want aired on national television if you're either Ty or the IRCF.

I was extatic to win
I have had tegus and know their care and all I want or my tegu or the cash that was promised.
I am completely baffled that ty took everyone's money for raffle tickets and refuses to give me the prize.
I just wanted my tegu. If not yes I wanted the cash but a ty park tegu was always my first choice!!!!
Because he had an illegal raffle the small claims courts may not be able to force him to give me a tegu or award me the money because the raffle was illegal even though they know he should give me either a tegu or the money.
This may be a criminal thing for him holding an illegal raffle , this is something the FL and AZ attorney generals will most likely be investigating
Giving me the prize he promised would be much easier for/on everyone involved.
It's unfortunate his ego and narcissism is getting in the way of us being able to just settle this

I think if he is convicted of a crime, he may be ordered to pay restitution so hang in their and keep pursuing it.
