Bad Guy Ty park/ ty lizards FL

At the end of the day, Ty offered OP an Albino Tegu that he produced, just like what was posted on the Raffle. Ty asked OP for her shipping address to ship and gave her deadline.

With 2 days remain on the deadline, OP decided to sue Ty in small claims court in Mass.

As a person who does not hate Ty park, not a facebook friend of his or ever bought anything directly from Ty, this raffle deal is just a business deal that has gone bad. Both sides are equally at fault here, there are no victims until a person screws up the situation so bad that they becomes the victim.

Two month after the initial mass. lawsuit, OP decides to post a thread in BOI. This should have never been posted, which leads to the libel/defamation of character lawsuit. And this lawsuit has merit.

It doesn't matter who Ty's lawyer is, or if it is himself. The point it, things are going very south for OP. This thread is has now reduced itself to trolling Ty's facebook page. Which is pretty damn pathetic. Its his facebook page, and he can delete and do whatever he wants, just like you guys can do want ever you want in your own house.
 
I've read this from beginning to end. I feel for the OP and hope this all works out well. What concerns me is how many people are so ignorant to the truth that has been made clear by the OP evidence.

People like Ming (Mike) Cong come on here and make it apparent how naïve and ignorant people are. People like this is how crooks thrive in a specific market. As long as there is someone to empower and cover for these idiots who are destined to make off with someone's money, this will never end.

Maybe there should be a "Wanted" poster thread with all of those that have been deemed "Bad Guys". The reason I say this is that when you go to shows, there are usually multiple people vending a booth and you never know who you are actually buying from....

Just my .02 though... carry on

You have been, or are, incorrect about a "few" things. Just as you are about this (quoted above).

While it can be done, if all ducks are in a row, defamation suits are not always the easiest to win.
Many people file these when their case does not meet the requisites for a defamation lawsuit.

That said, the number one requisite, for a defamation suit, is falsehood/s having been stated/written about a person (the plaintiff) or a situation involving that person.
If what a defendant has said/written is the truth, that, alone, will make the plaintiff lose his/her defamation lawsuit.

As far as I am aware, and via what has been presented (screenshots and more), the OP (Michelle) appears to have been truthful.

This it to turtle man
He offered me a tegu that would grow up to look like the one in the photo in the raffle post.
Already admitting he didn't produce any and couldn't get any from his undesclosed "breeder friend"
Any normal human being who cares for their animals and where they come from would wonder or ask where that tegu would be coming from.

And don't twist this to it was going to be a t+ because if you read his comment # 77 he clearly stated "when I decided to give her a t+ I didn't communicate that to her because I wanted to see what type of a person she is and she was greedy till the end". What reputable and honest business person does this ?????
All he had to say is ive decided to send you a t+ purple albino because that is all I produced, can I have your shipping adress and what day works for you!!!!
It WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER!!!

Also when shipping live animals the receiver has to be home. So when TOLD ME I will ship it on Monday i would have needed to be here. He should have asked what a good day to ship was as well.

IM SORRY BUT DEFAMATION is NOT truth opinions , or telling the truth that I won a raffle for a albino tegu or 3000 and never received it.
Sorry to say his case is not "strong" it in my opinion is frivolous and lacks merit.
One reason being that he states "he can just because" (similar to the anti slap theory and because he has filed it why? Because he didn't follow through and honor his and the ircfs raffle terms and someone told the story how they won and didn't receive the prize!!!!
He may not like what other people are saying on here and how many people are are not on "his side" but I have no control of that. The people here have seen all the pride and have read the thread and agree that he the IRCF and his raffle terms were not upheld!!!

If this moves forward , my counterclaim will be solid and strong because I didn't go around doing what he did. I have posted proof to back up everything that happened. And not just 1/2 of it.
He has called me many many names. His blind followers have made public threats, and they had a raffle and have been deceptive and unfair. To say the least. If he is representing himself and he wins there are no legal fees to be won. If I win because I am represented. we will be asking for legal fees.

Your representation of what will happen is inaccurate

I believe that both Ty and the IRCF have fault, both morally and legally, and Michelle still does not have the prize she won.

You really have no clue about the requirements of such a suit.

I agree.
 
I think we would all be better off completely ignoring Ming as he has shown himself to be completely immune to logic and reason. If you read all of the evidence posted in the thread and still believe Ty is in the right, then there is no saving that person and no reason to so much as acknowledge them.

Legal fees

I just received a $500.00 donation anonymous at senders request to help me with my legal fees.
Words can not explain how surprised and grateful I am.
So THANK YOU SO MUCH if you are reading this.

Normally I never take handouts but it is clear that this is not going to be a cheap battle to fight.

Any help is welcomed and would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you to everyone for your support

This Cong guy just doesn't know when to stop, does he? :hair_on_fire::shootfoot

If you look up the word "biased" in the Dictionary, your picture is there, Mike. Or Ming. Or whatever fake name you have this week.

Not to disagree with your point nor to derail, but it is neither uncommon nor unheard of for individuals of Asian descent to use more western names in business, particularly when dealing with business dominated by western individuals. In fact, Ty himself is doing so: his name is Taesoon, but he goes by Ty. I believe this is done primarily to make communication easier rather than stumble over name pronunciation and spelling issues. Ming to Mike is not that far or even strange a stretch, but as Fauna requires your real legal name, putting 'Ming' when he goes by Mike in usual business makes perfect sense to me and doesn't really apply as 'fake' in this instance.

I used to work in the gaming industry and this is fairly common there as well - so I don't think that was or is a case of anyone trying to mislead. Just thought I'd clarify this.

But I agree on pretty much everything else you said.

David knows this, he and OP likes to do this to try to discredit me. Asian biased people do this crap all the time. This is just light anti-Asian racism. When David is from Kentucky, what do you expect? When he is not out at trump rallies in, he is here supporting OP with her alternative truths.

Ty admitted he did not produce any albino t- tegus, he did produce albino t+ tegus. We have already established that t+ tegus are also ALBINO TEGUS. So when he said he will send OP an Albino Tegu produced by him after OP complained to him that OP didn't want one by anybody else, he said he would send OP one that he produced, which means a t+ albino tegu. But OP just did not understand this. This maybe why OP said Ty called OP "uneducated."

Ty never had to communicate that he is sending OP a t+ albino tegu because all he had to do was communicate to you that he is sending you an albino tegu that he produced. Like we said before, an t+ albino tegu produced by him is an albino tegu. OP like any others points out that Ty says like the one in the photo, yes sending you an albino tegu just like the albino tegu in the picture. Like he said, he was being short with the OP, there is nothing wrong with being short after dealing with a difficult customer.

OP claims "when shipping live animals the receiver has to be home. So when TOLD ME I will ship it on Monday I would have needed to be here. He should have asked what a good day to ship was as well. " but OP never even had any discussion in any of the screen shots of any days that that she was available to receive the Tegu. If OP does, please post them.

The fact here remains that Ty Parks in all good faith attempted to give OP an albino Tegu that was produced by himself. While the OP refused to give Ty Park an address to ship. OP claims she is "telling the truth that I won a raffle for a albino tegu or 3000 and never received it."

Ty Parks made an attempt to honor his raffle by attempting to ship an albino Tegu to OP. But instead of giving Ty a chance to honor the terms, with two days left on the deadline, OP sues Ty in small claims court.

I hammer this point again:

WHEN TY PARKS TOLD OP THAT HE IS SENDING OP AN ALBINO TEGU THAT WAS PRODUCED BY HIMSELF (PROVED IN OP's SCREENSHOTS), AND OP REFUSED TO GIVE ADDRESS OR HAD ANY DISCUSSION WITH HIM ON SHIPPING DATES, I believe OP refused the prize. And OP thought (very poorly mistakenly) that OP can collect your money by suing Ty in small claims court. I think 2 months later when things were not looking good for OP in small claims court, OP decided to post this diatribe on Fauna against Ty.

This little diatribe that OP posted here is unlike any other honest BOI of any seller. I can't think of any other BOI here that trolls the "seller's" facebook page, I can't think of any other BOI where the "seller" attempted in all good faith to send the "buyer" what the "seller" promised.

At the end of the day, when the Ty attempted to send OP an Albino Tegu produced by himself, the OP refused to give Ty an shipping address or talk a alterative ship date before the end of a deadline. All Ty got was being sued in small claims court.

What you laughing at? "Big Time Reptiles?" If you are really big time reptiles, do you have to call yourself big time reptiles?

I think he did you a favor not sending you any female barkeri, you would still be sitting on your babies right now. $300 bucks for the ugliest iguana species out there. With their limp spikes.

Michelle:

I hope you understand that Turtle Man is intentionally pushing you and trying to goad you into making a mistake. Be extremely careful of what you say.
In fact, I suggest you turn your energies to increasing publicity surrounding this issue, I believe that will be more fruitful than any back and forth with someone who in my opinion is not worth your time and who would be delighted if he could harm your efforts.

What a bunch of crap.

When people who have nothing better to blame their own failings on can't come up with a better excuse, they will play the race card as the reason for their own bad choices and lack of accomplishments.

I've looked at everything published about this issue and think I have a pretty good handle on the truth. I do not agree with your opinions at all, and will express mine here.

Ty Park did not handle this in good faith at all. He has plainly admitted that he purposely and deceitfully did not tell Michelle Cutler what he would be sending her. He all ready stated that he did not produce the blue albino tegus offered in the raffle, and could not get them from a different breeder, even if that would have been acceptable to the raffle winners. He already stated to Michelle that he would not send her a purple albino instead of a blue albino because the purples were worth much more. We can only assume that greed was behind Ty Park's statement, because he felt he could get more money for what he produced then he was expecting. He then stated that he would send Michelle and albino tegu that was just like the picture, which a reasonable person would take to mean the picture in the original raffle. Which seems to be impossible because of the other facts stated by Ty Park. So purposely withholding critical information, Ty Park then demands her shipping address. Michelle Cutler requests that critical information before providing a shipping address and date she would be available for delivery. Ty Park refuses to comply with providing that information.

The deadline as stated in the contract for the raffle for shipping was July 31. Once that date passed, Ty Park had failed to uphold his end of the contract, and then months later, Michelle Cutler had to filed suit, just as Ty Park had suggested she needed to do in order to get him to send her what she was owed. The secondary deadline mentioned is not relevant, as the raffle winner(s) were not legally obligated to accept it.

Then Michelle Cutler requests to have her lawsuit dismissed in MA because she discovered that the most she would be able to recover would be the money she paid for the raffle tickets. That also got Ty Park's frivolous countersuit (which he filed only because Michelle Cutler filed her suit) dismissed, but importantly WITH PREJUDICE.

So Ty Park then files his current frivolous lawsuit against Michelle Cutler for her doing nothing more than relaying the facts of this situation caused by Ty Parks own bullheadedness and purposeful deceit.

Ty Park is obviously a liar. He lied about the MA lawsuit and the manner that it was dismissed. He lied about either not being able to get the blue tegus, or he lied that what he was going to send to Michelle Cutler was going to look like the photo in the raffle. I have yet to see any accidental or purposeful lying from Michelle Cutler concerning this issue.

Any yet you can twist these facts to look completely opposite of what they really mean and expect people here to agree with you? Good luck finding a judge and jury who will agree with your cockeyed interpretation. I think the court will unanimously agree with my above shown opinion.
 
What you laughing at? "Big Time Reptiles?" If you are really big time reptiles, do you have to call yourself big time reptiles?

I think he did you a favor not sending you any female barkeri, you would still be sitting on your babies right now. $300 bucks for the ugliest iguana species out there. With their limp spikes.

LOL.....You try to play the race card and then make sweeping generalizations based on where someone lives? Does the term "hypocritical" mean anything to you, Mike/Ming? The funny part is that you couldn't be more wrong.....I live in Louisville, Kentucky. The ONLY blue part of the state. I'm a lifelong Democrat/Liberal who voted for Obama both times and voted against Trump (who I believe to be a cancer and this country's worst elected official).

Try again, Mike. ;)

So OP tells Ty that she will check her schedule and get back to him, did OP ever get back to him? where is the date?

It appears rather than give Ty a date to ship and address, OP uses the time to get court papers ready to file a lawsuit a week later. YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE DEFENDANT A CHANCE TO FULFILL HIS PROMISE TO YOU.
