Has anyone ever heard of Ariel Cudia?

I believe that no explanations are needed for this ordeal, but apologies to everyone who has been affected and insulted by my arrogance and ignorance to this thread. Dr. Owen and Jim O, I extend my sincere apologies to the both of you the most. I did not mean to point fingers at you guys and accuse you of hacking. I do not ask for forgiveness from anyone who has been on this forum nor for anyone to be understanding. I rightfully deserve this defamation; therefore, I have nothing more to say except that I apologize.

Good night and farewell,
Ariel Cudia

p.s.
Once again, my sincere apologies to all.

Apologies are only sincere when you don't take away from them. Apologizing, than calling it defamation only cancels out the initial apology. It's only defamation if the accusations are NOT true.

So which is it? Are you sorry for deceiving people, or are we defaming you? Can't be both ways bud. Gotta be one or the other.

I believe it was simply an incorrect usage of the word. The apology sounded sincere to me.

I've read stuff wrong before..............so maybe.

apology or not I don't agree with his business practices and although the animals are beautiful I will take my business elsewhere.

Ariel, what a heart felt, sincere apology! Especially when you let your thread die down a little bit.... learn a LITTLE from your past experiences, and try something like this from a different internet connection so your IP address can't be specifically tracked back to you:

Also.... I'm sorry that I " have quite an imagination", and " watch too many detective shows" ( maybe you should watch a few more!)
I urge anyone who is planning to do business with Ariel to read the entire thread that this post has been made in, and to also read the entire thread linked to above with the assumption that the user 'Toto' is actually in fact Ariel Cudia attempting to pull one of his multiple personality schemes.
Good luck Ariel, you're gonna need it man.

To all of those who have read this thread and are planning on going to the NARBC in Tinley:

Ariel is vending there, but he has changed his business name fron Acurit Gecko Design to Aritonnic. Please be aware that this person is one in the same, so keep this thread in mind when dealing with him.

Has anyone else done business with Ariel? I bought a gecko from him recently.

Ariel Cudia is a very bad person, he lives in a one bedroom condo, with 3 kids and his wife, but supposedly is a "scientist"...he keeps baby geckos in a closet ...hundreds packed into a cage, him and his partners (DK Herps) Dan Budrecki and Christine are no better, they have HUNDREDS of animals packed into a studio apartment in wauconda,...frogs, snakes, leopard geckos, U NAME IT!!!they pack it in,...because "it is in style" These people lie and step on anyones toes to get ahead!!
Ariel has made many enemies over the past years, and his cage "THE INSTACAGE" and "instavine" were stolen ideas from a past friend of his...he merely "patented the idea" first then phased the friend out of the picture..Just some friendly advice to all viewing BUYER BEWARE!!! stay clear of Ariel Cudia and Dan Budrecki (DK herps)
