    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So what you're saying then is that unless one of your victims asks you for help, unless one of the innocents YOU took advantage of comes BACK to you there is NOTHING for them?

No Wes, that's not what I'm saying at all. What I said was I've helped in whatever way I can, and I will continue to do so. Do I know about all the deals that Sal screwed up....are you kidding?!?....He did so much **** on the side it's rediculous. It's only when he needed me to defend him on the BOI did I know about most of them. Like his GF does now.....you think he's typing for himself when he answers....nope. He's got her sitting at home taking over the job of defending him....hopefully she'll be smart enough not to get to the same position I was in.
 
As much as I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, I just can't. I'm sure you understand the reasons why.

IF you're doing as you say then in time it will get around that you are not continuing as before.

Hopefully that's how it'll turn out.

I won't be holding my breath in anticipation though.
 
In a perfect world, couples share everything, bills, chore's, child rearing, and the responsibility!

Unfortunately too many woman are held hostage, physically and emotionally. I think that it's awesome that many don't understand her position. I've seen many woman loose everything for the love of their man, and they become the scapegoats for the creditor's, while the man slinks away, on to his next victim.
There is another slug by the name of Lloyd Putnam, there are many threads on him, his ex girl friend Lisa is still paying for the destruction of her credit.

Abuse has many faces, the emotional and financial, take much longer to heal!
 
"Did I defend him...absolutely, I was his wife, he couldn't type and get his point across so I had to do it for him."

I am actually sympathetic to your situation, BUT there a couple of about your statement that bothers me. First I should tell you that the not knowing how to type excuse is nothing short of lame. I can't type and I am dyslexic to boot. I have a one winged chicken that can type better than me and I still manage here. Also, you did not have to do defend him. You chose to defend him for whatever reasons you had, but you did not have to. Besides he would not need defending if he did not screw so many people over. What you did was enable him, and that does make you responsible to some degree.

"There is another slug by the name of Lloyd Putnam, there are many threads on him, his ex girl friend Lisa is still paying for the destruction of her credit."

Lloyd Putnam... Now there is a name that really makes me grind my teeth! Laura, I owe you for bringing that to my attention back then and subsequently introducing me to Fauna. I guess in a way I can thank Lloyd for that as well (but I won't)...

If everyone was raised by the mother, had two little sisters, got old enough for children and had all daughters, and a neice + a grand-daughter...men would them know NEVER too "mess" with ANY woman... :) my name is Troy Cromwell, that's my story...in my world, woman most deinently "rule"...and if you ask me, it's time for a woman president. :>off_to<:

Sorry guys, had to do it :bolt01:
 
"See, I can't even spell without help from a woman"

Thats ok, Sal can't type without the help of a woman...
 
Alison,

You might be better off completely dissociating from Sal. Don’t even mention what happened in the past or how much money he owes you. If you want to clear your name do it yourself but don’t use Sal’s as an excuse for past behavior. He didn’t know how to type? Too bad! But why don't you just go back to those threads and read the arguments you used in both his and your defense? You were not defending him, you were defending Upstate Exotics, which represented then your company. Of course you can now say that it was Sal that was throwing the money out the window but while you were partners you lived on that money. Maybe you didn’t buy boats or other “toys”, but it was your source of income. Don’t tell us you just learned who he is and how he behaves. You knew it all along and in sipite of that you jumped in his defense. Maybe you are now up to a clean start, that’s OK, and at least I will give you the benefit of the doubt. At least you have distanced from him. Others on the other hand have moved in the opposite direction and are currently selling animals for Sal.

We are talking big money now. Anyone know who Ed is? It seems like since this partnership started, Sal has increased his stock as well as the prices he charges for his animals. This time Neil's prediction was right on target.

Regards.

Ed's his "partner"....or the guy who is paying for all the animals. Some guy who doesn't know anything about the reptile business and is trusting Sal's judgement. Oh yea, and also the guy who doesn't "know" about the BOI and Sal's reputation. He's got a ton of money and everything that this guy does is legit, but he's turning over his $$ to Sal to finance everything.
 
well......Does Ed have access to e-mail?
 
That ad shows that there is major insanity in the reptile business. I feel sorry for the guy who buys them.

I absolutely agree. Particularly when you watch the news and hear what's going on in Nigeria. :(

Who else would like to wager that these are simply two Central American Boas that were pulled out of a batch of fresh imports because they showed some reverse striping?

Oh well...theres one born every minute unfortunately
 
John,

If they come with CITES documentation the country of origin has to show, right?

Regards.

They should. But if you look on their site, they don't have a single animal that is available that isn't an import. Basically just a bunch of specimens picked from the wholesale lots complete with "genetic" descriptions and names that can't be backed up.

Some things really never change.
 
Unfortunately I don't have any other info. That's all I know about him....he has $$ and no idea about reptiles and thinks Sal is a stand-up quality guy in the herp world.
 
Oh....I almost forgot, his site www.bocamorphs.com does have a WhoIsGuard block, so you can't see who it's registered to, but I know Ed's buddy is the one who designs, maintains and hosts it. The DNS servers are MASSACHUSETTS.COM
