Hi all...chipchik here

The "LaLa" Award...lol

[chipchik]

Everyone in Southern California knows who Alan Mendelson is. He's been "The Money Man" for years and years and years. He has a SEGMENT on the news showing supposed great deals. That's about it. I wouldn't consider him a celebrity, but if reality television idiots can call themselves celebrities then I guess Alan Mendelson is as well.

Let's see, who comes to mind when some smooth talker comes along and brainwashes a bunch of people to think he is the second coming?

Jim Jones
Jim Baker
David Koresh

Maybe he's the next big ponzi schemer..

I've known for years.  I was sworn to secrecy.

I actually "watched" portions of one of his TV shows online from his site.  IMO, BIG waste of my time.

It is nothing more than one long series of TV commercials.  Sure as heck is not "news", or "bargains" IMHO.

Chipchik, you have my vote -- the Sherlock Award?

For sure -- it gets this smiley:

 

[Roadtrip]

I'll vote for that.

Far as I'm concerned, you can add "Winner of the 2011 LaLa Award" to your signature.

It wouldn't surprise me if Singer (sorry, Augustino, is it?) is casinoboss. Whatever Singer/Augustino may be, he has a certain clever knack for tweaking and undercutting the "opposition's" credibility, even if he doesn't really believe what he himself is selling.  His being casinoboss pretty much makes a mockery of the LVA forums and the LVA itself, if that turns out to be the case. He's got a whole population of forum members hanging on his every word; it's just about always the most popular thread. If he's Singer/Augustino, that's really funny, and I'd have to salute the dude.

It took me a long time to "get" why Singer has such a sustained grievance against Dancer/Granhoff, but Granhoff's blogs have been a weird eye-opener for me, so now I "get it."

I don't really think casinoboss is a casino boss.

I agree completely that "casinoboss" is NOT a casino boss, but Singer/Augustino, or a friend of his, posting for him.

I think Singer/Augustino really dislikes Dancer, because he tried being an "AP" for a few years, and went broke, or lost a lot of $$.  He followed Dancer's advice (or at least he said he did), and got his butt kicked.

Though I don't like the whole Singer/Arcimedes "relationship" (What else can you call it??!!), they seem like the 2 remaining people on Earth, who will chase/torment each other, till the end of time.  Let them have their fun.

Now, we have MoneyLA being "outed" as Alan Mendelson - who coincidentally, just filmed a series of videos with Singer/Augustino!!  

I also see that MoneyLA has seemed "quieter" over at LVA.  I'm guessing that he knows his "cover" has been blown.  Doesn't surprise me that he "stirred the pot" as much as he did, as he's a member of the media.

I finally double-checked -- Singer's real name is Argentino -- I apologize for taking a stab from memory. It's Rob Argentino, with the Singer being adopted to tweak Dancer/Granhoff.

I will try to do better next time.

And I think there's a good chance he's casinoboss, which is funny.

I've noticed  casinoboss seems to post in late afternoon, while singer seems to post very early mornings.

But, I tend to also agree.

Oh, it defintely is funny.

Also, at least Singer/Argentino never got his panties into a wad, over someone using his real name.

But he will not hesitate to insult/flame those he does not like, or whose views he does not agree with.

And he writes some pretty nasty stuff, whether true or not.
