Circling the Wagons?

Neighborhood Dot reports on CI this morning that the Serins seem not to be out completely. The cars are still there, as is Steve's motorcycle. However, the Miata convertible that some haterz believe to be Steve's is no in the driveway up on jacks, with bricks to block the thing from rolling. The motorcycle blocks access towards the front of the house. The Nissan blocks the side.

Seems that they are circling wagons and trying to make it difficult to remove them, or even to approach. How this is going to help against an armed Sheriff's deputy (who knows, maybe even AngelTits' husband???) handing them an eviction notice and telling them they have 24 hours is unclear.

In the meantime, Casey has followed up on the removal of the Island2012 website by removing the serin.us website as well. In the past it was a redirect from his Iamfightingforeclosure (IAFF2) site. All the content, including a classic "bankruptcy is beautiful" post, is now gone. Perhaps a response to the fact that he fought foreclosure and apparently lost.

But none of this should be a surprise. In the past, Casey's standard mode of operation has been to have a lame idea, throw up a website promoting it, dick around for months by going off on ridiculous tangents like trying to avoid foreclosure by drinking fresh juice or cleansing his colon, then realize at the last minute that a wave was crashing in on him, skip town, and quietly remove any of the websites, pictures and other evidence from the web, while whining about needing privacy. Once again, he found a lame idea (mortgage elimination/foreclosure avoidance), tried to portray himself as an expert, failed miserably, and is slinking away.

The difference, this time, is that his lame idea has cost his family their house. They could have kept it, had they not failed to follow through on the terms of their bankruptcy. Now they have both a bankruptcy and a foreclosure on their credit records, and if they aren't out of there fast, they may yet have an eviction recorded against them soon enough. That latter one will make it virtually impossible for them to ever rent a place.

Perhaps Casey isn't going to be the first of the Serins to live in a van by the river?

And that's the way it is here at FalseCasey HQ, where the sun is shining bright.

Island 2012 Project Is Dead

Our buddy Casey last posted about the Island a week ago, when he commented on the 12 things he had to do. (How's the list going, by the way. Inquiring minds want to know.)

Since then he's consumed himself with planning his birthday party, something most adults rarely put more than a few minutes into. And of course, he's been hanging out with his new grifter friends.

We strongly suspect that by the time the party rolls around this weekend, the whole island idea will be on the back burner. He has two new "islands" on his mind and the money is likely to follow them.

The question is whether he'll actually get around to telling his assembled guests (who at last note include the big-tittled fraudseter herself) that he's dumped the whole island idea in favor of investing his money in some form of a scam.

We should note that it may or may not actually be a pay-phone scam. While these are not all that uncommon, it's quite possible that the twin hucksters (the one with her own twins, and the fat guy) have something else up their sleeves, or down their blouses, as the case may be.

We were thinking it could even be fun to show up to Casey's party just to meet her. We'd be interested in finding out exactly how far she would go if presented with a sufficiently valuable "mark." We suspect that a weekend sans-Mike in Tahoe would not be out of the question.

And that's the way it is at FalseCasey HQ, where idle thoughts like that are just idle, because we really have better things to do, and our friend Claire is far better endowed than either Lisa or Angel.

We've been out of it

Believe it or not, there are some things going on in our lives that don't involve Casey, like the crazy hooker/pornstar/cokehead we've been nailing every night, while mostly still thinking about Angel's Big Fake Tits.

But we've taken note of TrueCasey's bizarre Island project, and just commented about it on his blog. We have no faith that he will actually publish it, so here it is, complete and unedited:

Well, We just did some math.

In order to accommodate all your sponsors, you will need to have a minimum of 501 rooms in the resort. Pretty simple math, the total number of days committed to sponsors in each cycle is identical to the number of dollars raised per month. 500,500.

There are 1000 days in each cycle.

500,500 (total room-days per cycle) / 1000 (days per cycle) = 500.5 (rooms)

Can’t build half rooms, so you need to make it 501. Plus you’ll need one for yourself. 502. And whatever other friends you want to invite. Maybe 510.

Realistically, you probably need even more, because you need to allow for the fact that at times some rooms will be closed for maintenance, and not everybody is going to perfectly “fit” into a schedule that has the place at 100% capacity all the time.

So, you need about 600 rooms. And that’s just to accomodate the people you have made a commitment to. If you want to offer rooms to others, it needs to be even bigger. Since you’re on an island, you’ll also need employee housing and other facilities, which will add to the cost of construction and maintenance.

And you expect to be able to operate this resort on an ongoing basis with your sponsor’s money. $500,500 per month. Oh yeah, you plan to take 10% for yourself, so really you’ll have $450,450 per month available to build and operate this place, or $750 per month per room.

Most mid-grade motels in urban areas spend that much! Most resorts spend double that or more! And most of those aren’t on islands where everything is more expensive.

And that’s just operating costs. Even if you sold every single sponsorship tomorrow, it would take a few decades to save up enough money to build a 600 room resort. Look at this: http://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2003_2nd/May03_HotelWaterParkStudy.html

Yup, that’s right. Contruction costs for a luxury resort type hotel start at around $250K per room and go as high as almost $600K. And that’s in the continental US. Again, add more on an island. Dude, you’re looking at a “starting price” of about $150m to build the place and it’ll probably be more. Even allowing for interest on the money you’re collecting, it’s almost 20 years! You need to register Island2032.com quick!

Bottom line is your plan is not feasible.

It’s also illegal. You can’t tell people “you’re a sponsor” and at the same time say “you’re entitled to future use of the facility”. Either people are sponsors, in which case they have no rights to anything other than the advertising they pay for, or they are investors, in which case they have partial ownership in perpetuity (and you need a license to sell the shares and they need to be qualified investors), or they are customers who are pre-paying for some future service, in which case you are pretty much committing fraud, because there’s no reasonable way to deliver what you’re promising for the amount of money you’re asking people to pay.

Sorry Casey, the numbers for this plan just don’t work out. The legal structure doesn’t work out. Faith is not a viable plan.

And that's the way things are at FalseCasey HQ, where it's too fucking hot, the air is full of smoke and we really want this shit to end.
