You will make your money easily, but you must make the film next week or we will have all moved on... That last line is both terrific and terrible to the guy who may come to produce it.

I honestly started it cause i thought one of the posters was going to beat him up But yea my anger at him for scamming got the best of me Anyway justice will be served. And this is it. Sorry eoshd. Im out. Any one of us could have done the same thing, I probably would have by now. It was well deserved public humiliation, not waterboarding. At that point we had enough evidence to convict, and we had given him ample opportunity to confess, instead he insulted us with more lies. I don't like where this is going with the Ed bashing. Don't forget who the antagonist is in this story. I showed Ed, Andrew, and a few others a compilation of ES's BS posts that I haven't posted publicly. At the time Ed acted, the ads were still live here and on dvxuser, more people could've been ripped off if Jack Bauer didn't act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it on YouTube, run ads. Try to get it on reddit front page. BAM. That's like a good $100 right there.

Use paypal - it works out of Egypt. Transfer as a gift. I think get your friends involved. Pool some money. Sell some books or something. And yes, sell your camera. I have a Canon T2i if you want it. I never use it. It's not much but it does raw. I hope all of us can forgive you in our heart for what you have done. You staying here, starting a dialogue is a brave and important step. That should be worth something. What you did was horrible, but I was thinking about it on the drive today - I may have done something like that myself if I was broke and young. I don't think I would have, but the thought probably would have crossed my mind, especially if I was broke. Anyway, I'm proud of you staying on this to deal with this. And I hope others will forgive, especially after you return their money. I truly have no money to pay for James right now. I have may have 500 pounds (equivalent to 50-ish$) coming in days but these will be paid for the shipping of the RF to Tim and Tomas. Then I will wait for any money, I have some coming on 23rd this month (in days) which I'll send some from, I will even pay from my allowance, I won't spend a penny, all will go to James until he's satisfied. I just need this to be between us and not go to anyone I know here/friends/family. I know you don't believe me but I truly was scammed. But that's irrelevant. I accept you don't believe me. And I will fully pay back all the money they're been scammed for. I hope this would be agreed upon and everyone would understand it's an issue between us. and I hope even SOME emphasize with my situation that's making me unable to writ on a keyboard out of cheer sadness. But again. I hope this solution is accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here you have an eye of the tiger situation. Everyone wants to know who YOU are. I know you may feel shy, but forget about all the shaming, think like a filmmaker. Document whats happening now in your world on cell, whatever, and release it. Don't worry about perfecting it, just give us you artistic statement about what led you to do what you did, what you felt after, and what you plan to do. I know it sounds cynical but there are pros here that will help you develop as hort story. I am sure... even like a vlog style thingy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you are saying about moving fast before he can react but you also run the risk of crucifying an innocent victim too. Really this should have all been handled by Andrew, the victims, ES and what ever 3rd party enforcement required. It is too bad that Andrew was not arround to step in earlier. We are from the internet. This is an anarchistic community. We have no leaders. The evidence was thoroughly examined, righteous calls were made, and we acted. We do not forgive, we do not forget. We are legion. ES should have expected us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 This is an utter farce. I wouldn't even accept his money if I were the one scammed until he honestly owned up to it. If for some reason he is telling the truth, why not be forthcoming and aid in this investigation. Hell, he still hasn't even admitted to there never being an elder ES. Why would he be som worried about his families' and friends' opinions if he was innocent. And now people are encouraging him to make a movie about it? He should sign away any rights to any motion picture filmed about this idea to the people scammed by him. And if he didn't do it, which I admit with this weird effin story is quite possible, then explain his inconsistencies. I don't know... I'm really starting to believe this whole thing is a game. Once the conversation begins to slow up on it, he shows up again or another victim does. Something does not smell right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ES poster has a sense of humour at least. It's all fake to them so they are engaging with us. They know their forum credibility is shot. They are just going to drag along this payback story so it doesn't progress to THEIR authorities.

I guess you are correct, which is why nothing is happening in the time/ money investment front from anyone. But a spoof would be funny as hell and I would vouch for probably watching that. I just have this theory that if everyone invests 15 minutes we could have a nice short for us only. Skype interview with Ed, the victims and the story of trying t track down the elusive Ebrahim for a video interview.... it could be funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that everyone knows your story, you can even enlarge the basis of people with eyes on you. Once they're really curious on your talent or lack of it. Wanna more motivation? This must surely challenge you. Once again, everything is in your hands! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 A super serious sentimental movie by Ebrahim about how he and his grandfather were robbed and scammed, and his resulting depression, would be hilarious. I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
