Good work.

Yes, StomperNet was Brad’s attempt to cover his self-inflicted losses at MyWeddingFavors.

Yes, the business was operated by his wife while Brad toured the country using it as “proof” of his business acumen. (Brad’s core competency is presenting the fiction that Brad is a good/competent guy, not running a business.)

Two missing pieces: John “The Greaser” Reese and Frank “Churm ‘em and Burn ‘em” Kern.

Kern masterminded the thing from behind the scenes. The SlobberNet twins could not and did not pull this off by themselves. Pre-Launch, they were hopeless boobs and got virtually their original customers by trawling other people’s seminars and signing up people in dark corners. I’m told their original offerings were not bad. Then they met Reese and Kern who showed them how the game is REALLY played.

You better believe Reese got all of his affiliate commissions. He even dictated who among the affiliates got paid and who didn’t. Reese exercised such power of these two that he was able to compel them to delay the original launch at the last minute – for his own trivial convenience. (He was busy partying with one of his really important friends.)

As for the key role that Kern played (plays?), if you watch the Tony “Rob’em” Robins video with Reese and Kern, Kern is very happy to take credit for the success of the StomperNet launch. Why do you think Robins was salivating over them? (“Hold you nose and pass the cash.”)

That SlobberNet is behind on its commissions to the tune of $1 bucks is no surprise. The “enterprise” has been financed since Day One by ripping off its promotional partners.

What you’re missing -and maybe someone with the evidence will come forward – is that unpaid commissions are just the tip of the iceberg. SlobberNet ERASED THE COOKIES of many of its original affiliates after the first launch, thus stealing who knows how much money from them in the process.

It’s got to be at least six figures total. Maybe seven. Affiliates were also threatened thusly: “Promote our next scam or you don’t get paid the money we owe you on the last one.”

As for “innocent” parties…anyone on the inside who didn’t realize this was a criminal enterprise by 2008 just wasn’t paying attention. I wouldn’t worry about hurting their feelings or besmirching their good names. They already did a pretty good job of that by continuing to do business with these freaks.

Some of the “faculty” were paid lavishly, one claimed as much as $15,000 a month in the early days. That kind of money buys a lot of selective attention.

This pattern – selling smoke to naive, inexperienced people; presenting false success “credentials”; using “charity” and or “Christian” good works as a cover; fucking over sales associates – is business as usual for the Reese FAMILY. Yes, this is a family thing. (Read my notes in “Just Like My Taxes”)

Who knows what cesspool Kern crawled out of, but keep in mind as soon as Kern was busted by the FTC (2002?2003?), Reese was knocking on his door and they’ve been bosom buddies since. I’m sure they understand each other perfectly. (Reese normally does not stick with colleagues long once he’s extracted everything that’s not nailed down.)

Andy Jenkins? Just a lying, scheming low life who got “lucky” by landing with a bunch of people who really knew how to make the cash register ring. By all accounts, an arrogant bully with a little man complex.

Eben Pagan? BFF with all these guys since at least 2005-6. They all went out west to pay homage to him (and the other weasels described in “The Game”) Pagan supposedly taught them how to pick up girls (proof that those who delude for a living are the most delusional.)

Oh, and one other little detail. Drug of choice for this crew? Adderall crushed and snorted. Adderall is a fancy name for four different kinds of amphetamines. Breakfast of champions… if you aspire to be a raging high energy mass of hostility, paranoia and dishonesty.

Psychobabble, you forgot to mention Slobbernet’s Bait and Switch tactic…

When they first launched, they charged 10k for a LIFETIME membership (paid $800 a month).

Yes, I was one of the schmo’s who fell for it. In fact, I signed up even though I knew I wouldn’t have time to go through the materials till 10 months later because I was tied up on a big project.

After 10 months of paying $800 a month, right about the time I was getting ready to start accessing the material, the Slobs announced that – when the first year was up – they were going to begin billing us a monthly fee to STAY in the membership.

When a bunch of us responded that we had paid a one-time fee for a lifetime membership, they denied that they had sold us a lifetime membership (amazingly enough, the agreement on the salespage and the salespage itself had miraculously been changed to support their claim that we had paid 10k for a 1 year membership).

That’s when I cut my losses and wrote them off as scammers. (Yeah, I know… sometimes I gotta be hit over the head before I “get it”).

You know what they say… what goes around comes around. And, it seems to me these guys are just BEGINNING to experience the results of their karma.

“Psychobabble, you forgot to mention Slobbernet’s Bait and Switch tactic…”

I’m still working on the encyclopedia of SlobberNet scams. It’s going to be a twenty-four volume set. No money down and unstobbale payments for life. :-)

Seriously, yes, the whole thing boils down to bait and switch.

The customers were scammed. The first generation of promoters were scammed. The next generations of promoters who didn’t realize the thing had turned into a huge scam were scammed. The vendors were scammed. (But by 2008, certainly early 2009, you had to be blind to miss it.)

Pre-Lunch (and that’s a deliberate misspelling), StomerNet was just Stomper and it was a pretty good, if expensive, small group training/coaching program in SEO-based business building. They actually racked up real success stories. Serious ones.

Then they met Jon Reese and Frank Kern and the rest of the DB Brotherhood and apparently decided that things like partying in Vegas with hookers and scamming the f*** out of people was a more interesting way to spend their lives.

I guess Jenkins and Fallon were latent DBs, just waiting for their chance to shine. The fact that neither of them has ever done anything to make right in any way with any of the people they’ve burned (now THAT would fill a cruise ship) is evidence of their essential character.

But like many bullying con artists (Enron, WorldCom, Maddoff ec.) Stomper actually spent a few years doing half way decent work. Just enough, apparently, to set people up for the kill.

WOW can’t believe it. From what I have seen the guys that play together steel together. They are all in the same sandbox and the ones in this group just take it to the people better than the rest. And the funny thing is they love doing it. Kern, Konigs, walker, filsaiem… I have not been getting emails long from these guys but it is obvious the more I am here that I would not want to be associated with the theiftom they have created together. Going back to MLM. HEHE at least there is some integrity there.

But why Drag Eben Pagan into this? He is just doing his best to bring good information to people and a high quality and high price. Even know most of the stuff people can get in a 15 dollar book, he packages it in a way that people like. Although he does hang with the rest of the Robin Hoods.

If Stomper is so bad why do they continue to get customers and grow?

Eben Pagan is the only one in that crowd that is tough to say anything bad about. He’s just doing pure marketing, and I haven’t heard of him fucking anyone over in any way.

Yeah, a lot of his stuff is rehashed same old self-help stuff, but it’s with his personality and interpretation of it attached, which is what people are paying for.

Kinda surprised he’s associated with some of those guys, but he’s networking with the others at the top of his field to boost his business. Simple as that.

I don’t think Eben is purposely fucking people either. But after reading your response, it seems like you are giving all of them a pass because you say that he is “doing pure marketing.” Well, that is what they all are doing? And Eben is the puppet master. If he does not want to be associated with that crowd then when does he commend them in his marketing. You can’t be half pregnant. You are either part of scum which makes you scum or you are not. Still, do you think it is worth thousands of dollars for regurgitated crap just because you can put on a nice suite and act like you are special?
Even you say his “stuff is rehashed”… So Hmm what’s your position?

I agree – Pagan knows damn well who he’s dealing with. He’s far too calculating. Besides, I am sure there was at least one section… in one of the books he pulled from… on reputation, trust, and association.

But now his hand has been caught in the cookie jar. He and his fat cat friends are all part of a cartel. A money-grubbing group of scoundrels who sole focus is shafting internet marketers.

Besides, I’ve noticed there have been other gurus who simply couldn’t “Hold their noses to get the sleazebags to pass the cash.” They actually operate with ethics. So they distanced themselves. And the void they left created the opening for Eben to slither his way in. End of story!

It sounds like Fallon’s ex-wife is a pretty astute business woman, despite his taking credit for her success. More power to her.

The curious part of that lawsuit is where Fallon claims to have put his so-called business interest in her name because of his poor credit. If that in some way could be construed as hiding assets from creditors, it might not have been wise to admit it.

Does anyone know any of the details about his previous failed business that was alluded to in that document?

Yeah, reviewing the “War of the Roses” PDF, it seems from paragraphs 12 and 17 the wedding favors business was started in 2004. So he filed bankruptcy after deciding to hide his ownership of that business. In 2004 he was probably in a legal fight with the IRS that eventually lead to the bankruptcy in 2005.

Exactly. So he could possibly now owe that debt (and any others) again, along with penalties and interest dating all the way back beyond 2005 to the original debt period. PLUS, there might be SERIOUS additional consequences for not revealing the asset, if he did not. The PDF does not reflect well on him, AND it is his signed statement.

What’s more, the IRS might -also- be VERY much interested in knowing about this.

They might be interested in BOTH of 2 entirely separate aspects:

1. If IRS lost that earlier tax debt through a fraudulent bankruptcy filing (and it sounds plausible that they may have);

and additionally-

2. If that ownership should have had any associated income or equity reported to the IRS under Brad Fallon’s name during ALL of those years he “clandestinely” had ownership.

Here’s the simple IRS report form:

For best results, one could also snail mail them the PDF printout and a clear, detailed cover letter.

Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Brad Fallon, Andy Jenkins, and countless other DBs can all be traced back to one day: August 17, 2004, John Reese’s supposed “The Million Dollar Day.”

Reese tells the story to Tony Robins.

It’s a classic:

http://www.kingsbest.com/john-reese-talks-to-tony-robbins-about-his-million-dollar-day/

If you have good visual acuity (as Pagan likes to say) and can read micro-gestures, you’ll have a field day with this video. Reese’s body leaks the truth all over the place. Got to hand it to Kern though. He’s found the right formula or drugs and booze to keep obvious lies from looking obvious.

Just one gem among many: “If you want to make $10 million a week, there’s a plan for that.” Yeah, right John. Just take action (i.e. send Reese, Kern, Pagan, Walker, Stomper – or whoever the designated DB of the month is – a pile of money.)

Kern – Reese, Reese – Kern. To focus on one without the other is to miss the deep structure.

http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=51

Note: Someone should trace Reese’s oft-made 2002-era claim of having had two BILLION visitors (not hits, VISITORS) to his “stealth” web sites. He stopped slinging that one around after his “million dollar day.” Guess he found a better load of BS to peddle.

Why did he do this?

Why are you defending Swanson?

Name one documented offline success or online success by Swanson. Name the company, specific dollar amounts, and Swanson’s role in earning that income.

Working as an employee for someone who makes money online or offline doesn’t count.

Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

First off, great post, Salty. Very interesting stuff, to hear the trials (not judicial, yet) and tribulations of Brad Fallon. You’ve done a bang up job detailing this D-bag’s ways.

It’s gut busting the way Fallon starts his case like one of his greasy sales letters with an intro (absolutely irrelevant to his case) of his stunningly “successful” entrepreneurial history, and then, almost in the very next paragraph lamely explaining that the reason he made his wife sole owner of his company is because he massively screwed up his credit as a result of a prior business failure.

Anyway, Salty, good job. But…is there ANYONE in the personal development/Self Help area you don’t regard as a D-bag rip-off artist? Really, seriously, I’m interested in knowing the answer to that. Who do you like, or respect, as providing valuable information on how someone can take control of their life and break free of the 90% of people living what Thoreau called, “lives of quiet desperation?” And you DO have to take control of your mind. Because, look around…the default of drifting is a life of settling, doing without, doing far less than you’re capable of, and, if most people have the guts to think about it, not true happiness.

Maybe you’re a bit of a socialist asshole, who has a burr up his ass over anyone with the gall to “make money off of people.”

Hey, I’m not picking a fight, here. I’m just interested.

You fucking bad mouth Robbins at every turn and it seems to be the usual “the guy has a sales funnel of ever increasingly expensive products that he’s offering up to people–so fuck that conman asshole!!”

Are you pissed that he’s making money? Jaded? Bitter? Fucking jelous? Again, don’t get your dander up, I’m just trying to understand what appears to be fucked up thinking on your part.

Yes, this whole “New Money Masters” is very disappointing. Clearly, it was a cash grab on his part. He was played BIG TIME by Kern and his bum buddies. But, it was just a pure business move by Robbins to expose his name–and products–to the huge lists of these spit swappers.

Proof that Robbins wasn’t a totally dupe–and that HE was playing these guys? Check out anthonyrobbins.com–Robbins’ official site, where all of his products are available for purchase. Search for “New Money Masters.” Nothing. No mention of it whatsoever. You can’t buy it, there. What about Kern? Robbins’ supposed newest bestest Buddy Robbins can’t stop talking about? Search for Kern. Nothing. Reese. Nothing. Walker…Polish…and every other member of the brokeback mastermind group. No results returned for any of them.

That disgraceful product was made exclusively to be pitched by these guys to their lists. Robbins knew what he was doing. It’s just surprising he’d lend his name to such an idiotic concept (this series was entirely a profile series of the asshole internet marketers).

Anyway, that’s not the reason you think Robbins is a scumbag.

Have you even read any of his books? Or listened to his CD’s? Doubtful, because if you have, you’d shut your fucking mouth and realize how stupid you sound on this issue.

So, is it the sales funnel that’s got your goat? The $15 400 page book full of irrefutable time tested (and concepts detailed long before Robbins ever came along and made them his own) valuable information? Or, his other $15 500 page book? Is it because he was just 25 when he wrote “Unlimited Power”–and thus had no right at all to write the book?

Hey, buy those books, read them (which the vast majority who buy them DON’T), apply them (which the vast majority of the tiny group who read the books DON’T), and you’re done. You…are…fucking…DONE. That’s all you need. It’s the full story, and everything you need to take control of your mind–which is the absolute BIGGEST thing standing in the way of people to live the life they want to live.

You don’t need to move through the funnel. You need to move up to Personal Power for $300. You really don’t need Get The Edge for $300. You don’t need to make the jump to attending his live seminars. You don’t need to jet off to Fiji for his $15,000 immersion program.

Why do people move up the funnel. For the reason I said the other day–which, like an 8 year old with his hands over his ears yelling “NAAAANAAAAANAAAAA…I’M NOT LISTENING”–you dismissed: People aren’t really interested in doing it, and they look for the next product as an excuse to keep from doing it.

His stuff is life changing gold, dick face (oops, I forgot…I’m not trying to get you riled up–disregard that). If you don’t think it is, you either haven’t gone through his material, or you’re a king sized asshole seeing everyone with the audacity to make a buck off of “the lowly masses” as a crooked rip-off artist.

Oh, maybe you’re one of those idiots (hey…I’m not calling you–I’m just saying…) who believe shit like “if the guy got divorced, it absolutely disqualifies him from things like talking about relationships. Nah…not you. You CAN’T be that fucked up. People fall out of love all the fucking time. Divorce is every bit as big an institution as marraige.

So seriously, Salty. Man up and answer the question. Is there ANYONE out there who you don’t think is an f’ed up lying conman?

How about Napoleon Hill? Let me guess…you think he’s full of shit because, one, he had the audacity to sell a multi-volume self help book–forcing people to buy over 10 books to get the whole story (that would be his original “Law of Success” series), two, he had the gall to publish his masterpiece “Think and Grow Rich” during the depression–capitalizing and exploiting the misery of the masses, and three, he never achieved riches for himself…other than through the sales of his books.

What about Dale Carnegie? Let me guess…the guy is scum because he packaged his $10 book into a course that costs more than $1000. Maxwell Maltz? W. Clement Stone? Earl Nightingale? Jim Rohn? Robert Schuller (ha, I can only imagine what you think of THAT guy)?

Is it all just bullshit to you?

You know what, the more I think about it, the more I think there might be something to the whole “Salty is a socialist who is repulsed by the idea of people making money providing products and services to people.”

And I’m not talking about the usual cast of IM d-bags. You’ve trashed numerous “mainstream” self-help authors, so I (and I think some of your fans) would like to know…what’s the deal with you? Are there any people within the self improvement field that you think are legit, and worth studying?

I agree. You should not lump Tony Robbins in with these snake oil sales men. Everyone is messed up in some way but there is a difference between people that mean well and want to help others, and the scum sucking bums that want to brag about how they took everyone’s last buck for shit people can find in a decent book. And then they brag about it. Tony Robbins was simply duped by these guys and he has stooped to an all time low associating with the guys in these videos above.

I mean I am still chuckling when you watch these videos, its hilarious at the end of the brad and Eben video
Brad says “you should really watch your time and when you can have 1 meeting instead of 2 you should” and then Eben says “WOW, I hope you wrote that down because that is good”

I mean, I am still laughing. You mean, we should not wast time? OH. its the crap I was thought in high school.

This one is even better. Mike Filsaime and Eben Pagan in bed together. Literally. Listen to this 8th grade babble.

Point is that they are all together in raping as many people they can with worthless stuff and bragging about it together.

Big difference between that and Tony or valuable free blogs.

@RonJon,
You gotta be kidding me? Are you really such a sucker?
Tony Robbins is a manipulating slime ball. The man who runs his company was the attorney for the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, if that gives you any clue about the psychology of leadership. The man would sell your mother and send her COD. He sells this program in fiji called Masters of the Universe or Master your Universe (something like that). He offers it on stage for nearly 10,000 clams. Says you will hear himself and Deepocket Choakya, and you go down to this place and it’s just some videos they play with some high school student acting like a teacher in between videos. The only flights off the place are every thursday, and they set it up so the time of your arrival to the next flight out are past the limitations of the refund. Then you get to spend the next 2 years trying to get your money back – good luck. See how much he wants to help you then…

Check out his new religion, Feel the Oneness – he started it with a washed-out insurance salesman in India who now claims to be the messiah – oh yea, plus it’s $5,000 a pop to get “certified” to lay your greasy hands on people’s heads and heal them.

He is in perfect company with this crowd – slime oozes to it’s own level…

I’ve listened to Personal Power II and Get the Edge multiple times and have attended Unleash the Power Within.

At UPW the emotional peak of the seminar was dedicated to a multiple-hour long sales pitch where Robbins fired off all of the “anchors” he had set and used hundreds if not thousands of persuasion techniques all at once to sell his many thousand dollar advanced workshops–including doing explicit hypnosis, sorting the group into those who were going and those who weren’t and having the former group verbally mock the latter, claiming that if you think the price is too high that this is your “limiting beliefs” about money that will keep you broke forever if you don’t break through them now, etc. Robbins encouraged participants who didn’t have the money to make out a post-dated check and “find a way” to get the money. If you believe there is such a thing as high-pressure sales, Robbins is the exemplar. Robbins also claims to have been a key player in the invention of the infomercial. He hasn’t been duped by Kern, Reese, Pagan, et al–he’s the granddaddy of manipulative marketing.

Some old-time NLP trainers claim Unlimited Power was ghost written by other trainers in the field of NLP. I think they are probably correct–just compare the writing style with Awaken the Giant Within. And yes, power corrupts and unlimited power corrupts absolutely. The title “Unlimited Power” is a sucker test, playing off of our dark desires for power and control over others (although many of the techniques are standard NLP and reasonably effective).

That said, I credit Tony Robbins’ audio programs with helping me out of depression multiple times…only to land in mania, and MUCH more broke (even though a friend paid for my seminar admission and I did not attend Robbins’ advanced workshops). I had no cycling moods before becoming aware of Robbins’ material. In UPW, he has the crowd literally cultivate mania again and again, hundreds of times (which he calls a “peak state”). He also encourages mania (or “peak state”) in his audio and books, although it is less likely one will fully embody this aspect of his teachings only through his written word. One aspect of mania is impulsive spending, and Robbins and Ray and all the LGAT leaders use this to sell overly priced workshops. The Internet Marketing guys Robbins is now buddies with also utilize creating mania (called “bypassing conscious resistance”) to get people to buy their overpriced products. The manic after-effects from that one seminar lasted approximately 5 years, and caused me many problems.

Saying that SD or any other critic is “anti-money” is like saying police officers are “anti-fun.” No critic is anti-money, they are anti-scammers–helping to make capitalism function more rationally and smoothly for the rest of us who engage in the trade of goods and services.

Yes,thanks Duff for pointing out that this ‘seminar’ sales process works by directly inducing manic states in the attendees. And I’m glad that you have regained some equilibrium.

The apologia that are regularly trotted out for those who are orchestrating this mania induction, e.g. Robbins is a well-intentioned guy who has been duped by Kern, Reese et al, I find quite sickening. If Robbins is astute enough to employ these techniques he is astute enough to understand how they work and their consequences for some attendees. He has simply decided that he wants the money more than anything else and he is prepared to harm a proportion of his customers to get it.
That awful euphemism ‘collateral damage’ comes to mind.

Paganwatcher pointed out that con-men say many useful and true things, that is necessary to gain the confidence of the mark, but those useful things are mixed in with shedloads of manipulative and dangerous techniques designed to lead the mark by the nose.

He used 2hours of hypnosis to selling Mastery Uni. They explained to me how they did it!

Robbins is brilliant entertainment. The best speaker ever. The best at summarising this stuff.

YET 90%+ people just get a warm and fuzzy that lasts a few weeks.
5% totally spin out as they believe that can ‘change instantly’ and cant.
AND 5% gain great value because they already are on the path, or are ready to get going…

This truth is why I did not become the UK Tony Robbins when i left the org in disgust at the actions of him [he screws everything, even tried it on with my GF.]

These Kern, etc are typical of all information pioneers.
I worked with them in Personal Development
I worked/coached them in Network Marketing

Dave said:

@VOR I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but here is the problem with these folks in the “self-help” arena: they are selling hope, nothing more, and hope is free. Hope is one of our inalienable rights guaranteed in the US Constitution, as in “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. What’s the problem with selling hope, you ask? What’s the harm? A far more articulate response than I can offer to your question is provided by Robert T. Carroll here: http://bit.ly/7mKUOT but if you don’t want to follow the link, here is an excerpt that lays it out pretty clearly:

“A short amount of reflection should make it apparent that the gurus of personal development training are like those infomercial stars who promise to share with you their secrets on how to make millions of dollars by taking out classified ads or by buying repossessed properties. The real money is not in taking out classified ads or buying repossessions; otherwise, that is what the infomercial star would be doing instead of making infomercials. The real money is in selling the idea to others. If the trainers who work for Tony Robbins or Landmark Forum could realize their true potential in a meaningful, lucrative way, would they take a sales commission job? Would they work for a guru for a relatively small sum of money, while investing a rather extensive amount of time in the hopes of some sort of breakthrough? No. If they want to reach their own true potential they must break away and start their own personal training program. Which is exactly what many of them do.”

In other words, they aren’t really providing anything of value, they are only increasing your hope of achieving what you want. In order to do this, they emphasize people’s fears, search out and wave in people’s (marks) faces their vulnerabilities, then promise that if you’ll only listen to them, all your troubles will be over. And they do this knowing damn well that it just ain’t true. Reminds me of the scene from O Brother, where the two idiots get baptised and “all their sins are washed away.”

Combine that with the tactics they follow as outlined on the link SD provided, and you have someone in the running for First Class Asshole. Almost every one of the folks in the “Self-Help” or “woo” business, fall into the same category. There is a difference between this bunch and business advisors/consultants, as Michael Port does a fair job of defining in his post here: http://bit.ly/4AzGbp so don’t get the two confused.

Bottom line, when you scrape away all the shiny bullshit these folks spew, underneath it all you will likely find a greedy, needy, manipulating bully who is only worthy of contempt.

But hey, if you are ok throwing thousands of dollars into their hands to make yourself “better”, more power to you. I guess there are those of us who learn life’s lessons without some guru to hold our hand, then there are folks like you.

If they want to blow it on some feel good emotions that make them feel like they’re bettering themselves – and hell, they might actually do it – then why not?

Screwed by Willie Crawford said:

This is great Salty!

I’m going to poke my pud out there and admit that I was a member of Stomernet for over a year, beginning with the Jenkins/Kern launch. I learned a few things and definitely spent a bunch of money (more than 10K not including travel expenses to conferences). I have to admit that I enjoyed meeting a number of the members and a couple of faculty, and developed a few long-term relationships. They aren’t all bad as you pointed out.

The biggest thing that pissed me off about Stompernet was the D-bag Willie Crawford whose affiliate link I bought in through. He promised a 2-day, 10K seminar followed by a full day of deep sea fishing off the coast of Florida on his “nice and shiny new boat”.

Unfortunately, when the following summer came around (2007) this d-bag stopped communicating via email, answering the phone (or maybe it was just a bullshit phone number) and otherwise avoiding his responsibility to make good on his offer, while making over 5K off my back in affiliate commissions! (Of course, maybe he got his from Stompernet too, along with other affiliates, but NOT my problem!)

After finally getting hold of him (when he wasn’t claiming my emails were “sporadically” not getting through) this jerk OFFERED, in writing, to pay me $5500.00 for not following through with the conference because the speakers ‘canceled” on him 3 times.

Not surprisingly, he reneged on that too (imagine that). Just another piece of IM shit! After filing complaints with the FTC (toothless bastards), I filed a complaint with the BBB to get it on record (man did his ratings suck!). During the arbitration he tells them he’s going to counter sue me for extortion if I filed suit to collect.

Short of the story is, Stompernet jumped into bed with some unscrupulous affiliates, and some honest affiliates regret jumping in bed with unscrupulous Stompernet management. Somehow I got caught in the middle.

I’m sure one day I’ll read how D-bag extraordinaire Willie Crawford got his. Maybe I’ll even see him on your pages one day.

Honestly, SD.

You’re moving comments because your arguments pointing to forums that most of us have never heard of do not serve as proof TR is a bad guy or his material is poor.

There are thousands of people who have been helped by his books/audio/seminars and of course there are many who have purchased and never finished reading/listening/attending or did read and never actually did anything with the new found knowledge.

Some will buy cars that turn out to be lemons, while thousands of others buy the same car and it turns out to be great for them, does that mean that the car is bad in general? No, not at all. In the self-help industry, yes they sell hope, but most of them sell systems, new ways of thinking, stuff that isn’t talked about in school, by parents or teachers, stuff that is different that being told you have to take this anti-depressant that doesn’t really work or that upper to help you feel better.

You want your blog to be an open-forum for discussion, to seem as though you really can tough it out, but you move comments that actually have bite and that you cannot adequately answer. Instead of answer the questions in the originally comment, you resort to jumping to other forums. Just as you could find obscure forums to support your argument, any idiot can find obscure and non-obscure forums to support the counter to your argument.

Have some fucking balls and answer questions in a straight forward manner, and actually be man enough to leave comments on you don’t like.

You ARE Brad Fallon. Instead of changing the subject, why don’t you defend yourself?

Tony Robbins is an asshole. For the moment .. that is just my off hand personal opinion .. which I am free to express in the comments just like you meat heads are free to express your personal opinions. If I decide to write about Robbins :: then you can count on a long long series of specific arguments which I will absolutely defend to all comers in these comments.

But to echo Porky :: this thread is about Brad and Andy {BrAndy} :: talking about interconnections and parallels is all good :: but I’m not going to make a sustained attack of Tony Robbins here.

There is going to be new comment policy :: which I’m writing up now. Key provision :: denigrating or attacking victims will only be tolerated on posts which specifically address that topic.

Don’t like it? Sucks to be you. I’m the fuckin’ editor roun’ here.

I totally agree with j here. So far I enjoyed this blog and took away lots of insights. However this last comment is the weakest I’ve ever read from you, Droid.

‘voice of reason’ has put some effort in making a point, and not honoring that at all but threatening with deletion is simply fail, fail, fail. Yes, it’s your blog, do what you want!

I was a Tony Robbins -err- ‘student’, and I flew to his seminars from Europe. That was one phase of my life. Today I think he has become a bullshitter, and he hasn’t moved on. He’s still teaching the stuff he learned in the 80s, and I think he’s generally dishonest. But on the other hand he is not different from many ‘normal’ guys, let’s say folks in your hood. It’s kind of human to be stuck and dishonest, and bullshitting yourself and others – unfortunate but true. So I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s funny though that Robbins thinks he’s kind of a true leader. In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.

I don’t blame him from earning big sums of money from his seminars and other shit. If people pay him, it’s their problem. It’s not that controversial info on Robbins isn’t out there. Everybody can learn about the dark side of Robbins. Still buying his seminars is like eating at McDonald’s. You know it’s garbarge, but you eat it anyway. It’s the customers’ choice. When all customers would grow up today, some businesses would die tomorrow. And Robbins would be back cleaning dishes in his bathtub.

It’s think it’s right to expose crooks like the Stompernet guys and the like. My feeling is that Death Ray is in a different category though. You could call him a mental case. He’s been taken over by his own philosophy. He might be totally convinced that he was making the world a better place, just like the nazis or members of the scientology’s ‘Sea Org’ (their clerics), who sign a billion year contract. Their philosophies nourish a disregard for death. If you believe in constant reincarnation over billions of years, then one lifetime doesn’t really matter so much in the big picture. If you believe that there is a superior race, death of members of other races seem to be quite acceptable. I’m not defending anything here, it’s all weird and sick, yet this is how the minds of humans work.

Death Ray should have stated on his forms to be signed by his fans that his camps have a high probability to result in injury and death. He could have advertised it loudly and I’m sure enough people would still have flocked there. People do base jumping and mountain climbing. People even drive cars. They do all kinds of stuff that can hurt them and others in the process.

Whatever you do, if you smoke, eat junk food, join the ‘Sea Org’, buy from Stompernet, believe in Robbins or Death Ray, you will have to pay a price. It’s good to inform people about the price tag, and that means in all the cases above to expose what was hidden with intent and make it visible.
And it will still be the choice of people to engage in all the bullshit, and in a free world they are free to do just that.

I’m not ready to start bashing Robbins full out … or to say how bad he is in comparison to the others. If I’m going to do that … I’ll do my homework first. But I have been :: for months :: watching him cavort with the d-bags I am hounding. So he deserves the mentions he’s been getting around here on occasion. And he should IMMEDIATELY stop doing the LGAT shit … because it’s obviously very dangerous.

@j, I don’t think the point is whether some people have gotten value out of his programs – the point is, the man lies, cheats and steals. So the larger issue is, if you adopt that strategy, are you really helping people, or is it just bullshit. His life is the extension of what he teaches – so model his bullshit at your own peril. The thing is, he took Jim Rohn’s content and materials, word for word, but never developed the maturity or experience to live it – it’s all just words – then he believes his own words as though they are true – without the discipline or integrity to live the very principles he expouses from stage. To me, this is not a small issue, it is the only issue.

i think tony robbins is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the USA. Call a turd a turd already, and let’s stop pretending the man is so altruistic and committed to helping people. If that were the case, he wouldn’t need to charge such outrageous prices, sue to keep things quiet and attempt to screw every woman in the room. I’m not judgin, I’m just sayin…

To Salty Droid,
Thank you soooo much for the info you provide. I get emails that draw me in, and have even sent in money twice to different self help things (fortunately a total of only 200 bucks) One was a complete disappointment, and the other was so-so. I have learned that anything they offer can be found for free somewhere on the internet, or ordered from Amazon in a 15.00 book.
You have all really opened my eyes to what is often really going on within these groups. The best, most helpful, and most enlightening info I’ve found and continue to search is free or donation if want. You all provide us gullible, pathetic self-help search people with seeing the side of this stuff that we wouldn’t see otherwise. This stuff is so important to know.
I was skillfully manipulated by a con-man for over a year and lost ALOT of hard earned money (including my retirement). This stuff is alot like my con man, only they are skillfully manipulating many more people all at once. (And in James Rays case—to the point of death, covering up death, and running away and crying like a scared child and NEVER taking a speck of responsiblity–unbeleivable!)
Anyway, thank you so much and keep the info coming. It is very important for people to know the whole picture. U r my new self help hero :)

Hey VOR, try making a fucking intelligent response to this! If you can maybe it won’t be moved.

Did you read the unimpressive-figures.xls? As we know, on 4-6-2009 a receiver (Luther Beck Jr.) was appointed by the court to oversee StomperNet finances. Brad and Andy came to an agreement on 7-24-2009 and on 8-11-2009 the receivership was terminated by the court. We know they owed affiliates a boat load of money. The question is, why would be receiver agree to allow an owner to be paid $100,000 and leave the affiliates unpaid?

[Reply]



Tom Porky Reply:
January 10th, 2010 at 12:09 am

Yes, receivership was part of the suit between Brad and Andy and was intended to prevent Brad from taking anymore money from the StomperNet accounts.

It is interesting that the amount Brad took resulting in the suit was $100,000. Guess what Andy got in the end was the same and they probably called it a special distribution. I’m sure Andy would not sell his 50% for just $100,000. Also a company can only buy back stock using retained earnings, which they did not have. So, it would have to be a distribution but then again, distribution can only be made from retained earning, so who knows what kind of creative book keeping went on.

Phony self help and internet marketing GRQ routinely bash their own customers. What company publicly calls the people who spend money on their products losers, idiots, cowards and lazy? You would think, with what, a 80-90% failure rate for their products? that they would at least put some small effort toward asking why so many refunds, and try to improve. But no, it’s not that their products are useless and misleading, it’s that their stupid customers can’t get their act together.

And wouldn’t you know, this is also a technique of emotional abusers. Never admit fault. Never apologize. Blame the victim. Start the name calling when questioned. And most of all, never look within and try to find out what went wrong.

Real self help and real businesses don’t bash their customers. So that’s one red flag right there.

@VOR

When you arrive at a site where ‘D-Bags’ is the biggest text in the tag field, do you honestly expect neutrality? Do you expect Salty to interrupt his posts with “But we can’t be totally sure Robbins is an asshole without confirmation from his office; so let’s keep an open mind for now”?

The purpose of this site is to provide a counter argument to the mindless, endless, baseless hype that these criminals circulate to inflate their reputations. To hold them to account when they blatantly abuse and steal from those around them. So yes, the commentary is negative, but at least it has substance, which is more than can be said for arguments from the opposing side. And if this blog stays around for another 5 years it still won’t have outweighed (in volume at least) the staggering quantity of pure, unadultered shit circulated by your guru, and his new internet friends.

There’s a litmus test for this, and it’s an eye-opener if you’re finding the droid’s moderation policy an excessive one. Go to the blog/website of a well known internet marketer (any discussed here, especially Robbins!!) and try making a reasonable criticism (or an incoherent rambling mess, if it’s easier.) Do you think they’ll be kind enough to provide a link to your post in its new location? Or will you be deemed a ‘negative thinker’ and completely obliterated?

One side can’t stand up to rational argument; the other can (and judging by the number of times your posts HAVE shown up, is generally willing to respond.) The reason for the moved posts, as has been communicated to you time and again, is your readiness to buy into the hype from Robbins et al that their customers are just morons. It’s baseless, offensive, and patronising.

As a side note, don’t you realise the position you put Robbins in here? If his customers succeed, his stuff is golden. If they don’t, his customers are morons. There’s no risk on his part whatsoever; no way he can lose. And it doesn’t matter how good his stuff is then – it’s this attitude that is dangerous above all else. It creates god complexes and mindless cult followings; it allows ‘The Secret’ to be paraded around in the guise of science, without falling under any scrutiny; it facilitated James Arthur Ray in Sedona. Scrutiny is a good thing, and as long as Robbins and the internet ‘gurus’ slink away from it, it would pay to be a little more suspicious of their methods.

Correct. There is nothing accidental about the phenomenon, on the part of Robbins anyway, but VOR and the other believers have a worrying tendency not to see this at all, and inadvertantly go around pouring fuel on the fire. It gives more power to Robbins than he could engineer himself – “look at all these worshippers – I must be right!”

Incidentally, the disturbing quote from Erhard sounds like the kind of ‘profound realisation’ Eben Pagan usually structures a $2000 course around. Why hasn’t he marketed this one to his loyal following? I think we should be told…

Why do you think you don’t hear about the others in their group distancing themselves? Because they are all buddy buddy together and think that it will blow over and they will just pray on us again and make another buck. You watch. There is some get together that Eben Pagan is having in Florida, I think Miami, if anyone is reading that will be there report back how many of these guys are together there. That will really show you what kind of scum these guys are. After all the buzz about what they have all done to people lately, do they have the balls to show their faces together in public? Remember what happened to the insurance companies? They screw us and then go party about it and Pagan runs it.

Tom has a point. Schefren is now working with Agora. The head of Agora had an interesting email on Saturday. There may be hope, quote:

“The Unexpected Side Effects of Making Money (and How to Avoid Them)

My life changed dramatically and immediately when, in 1982, I decided to make “getting rich” my number one goal.

Within a few weeks of that decision, I convinced my boss to raise my compensation from $35,000 to $75,000. A year later, I was a bona-fide millionaire.

My status changed too — from just another good employee to a junior partner and employer of hundreds. This made me more confident. And that confidence had a noticeable effect on everyone I dealt with. They took my opinions more seriously. They gave me more respect. Most memorably, my lifestyle changed. Instead of eking out a modest living, paycheck to paycheck, I was able to buy cars without asking how much they cost.

But making this change happen had two negative consequences:

1. I gave up thousands of hours of good times with friends and family.

2. I did a few things I wish I hadn’t.

When I set that goal, I knew there were more important things in life than money. But I suspected that I would be more likely to achieve it if I made it my number one priority. That turned out to be terribly true. There is enormous power that comes from saying “I will put this goal above all others.” It is impossible to understand that power until you have experienced it.

Most people won’t even dare to try. And maybe that is because most people have more sense than I had back then.

I didn’t recognize how monomaniacal I would become. I didn’t anticipate how willing I would be to put my family second. Most of all, I didn’t realize that I would be making some ethical concessions along the way. When my partner and I were accused of misleading advertising, I was actually shocked. All of our copy had been run by lawyers. It was accurate to the letter of the law. How could they call it misleading?

Because some of it was.

I had talked myself into accepting an exaggeration here and there. Individually, they didn’t amount to much — but strung together, they manifested themselves in advertising copy that was just plain over the line. Not all of it. Eighty percent of the stuff we did was very straightforward. But that 20 percent got us into trouble.

I regret the compromises I made every time I think about it. So now, when I look back on my decision to make “getting rich” my number one goal, I feel that it was a big mistake. In the 30 years that have passed since then, I have continued to make plenty of money. But I’ve done it without sacrificing other important goals.

Knowing what I know now about making money, it’s easy to see that I could have made the millions I made — and plenty more — without neglecting my family or getting into trouble with the regulators.

And that is what I want to talk about today: how you can set money-making goals — even very ambitious ones — without sacrificing any of your other goals or doing something you will regret.

……………….”

One of those documents Salty posted appears to have itemized entries for “Kern” commissions and “urgent” commissions. Then, there is yet another HUGE number for owed commissions, I guess which covers most general affiliates. The way I read it, some people (like Kern) got priority payment, while others were SOL. Anybody who sees that who is still owed money will probably be more than just steaming mad about it. I wonder what the odds are that those people will see the money that is rightfully owed them.

This supports my previously posted contention that when talking about SlobberNet, you have to include Kern and his sidekick John Reese.

The business was fronted and owned by Fallon and Jenkins but was largely conceived by and made a reality by Kern and Reese who were always paid – and paid lavishly – while virtually everyone else who did business with these DB was screwed blue.

Well, IF there was any fraud involved, and the corporate veil could be pierced because of it, then the principals’ assets might then be fair game for distribution. So people should not just roll over on this!

At the very least, if you are owed money you should immediately contact the Georgia Attorney General’s office if you suspect fraud.

Last point…The accounts payable statement is only the commissions SlobberNet admits that they owe.

I have it on good authority they monkeyed with affiliate cookies and were underpaying affiliates since Day One. Whatever is on their books as owed, multiply by three or four, or more.

Aspen Brands said:

Jennifer married Brad in May of 2003. She had her own home and he had a condo that his parents had to sign for due to his credit history. Jennifer had an 8 yr track record with Johnson and Johnson moving up the ladder every year or two and then left on good terms and went into big ticket sales with software in the legal and then healthcare industries. Brad did not have any assets when he married Jennifer. She runs the Aspen Brands as CEO and the key brands are kate Aspen and Baby Aspen and then there are many e-commerce retail sites that are under the overall umbrella.

Jennifer cares about people and it is obvious by the decisions that she makes and the family atmosphere and loyalty she has created at her company. Brad Fallon is definitely a smart guy but smart does not equate to integrity nor does it equate to the ability to execute and ultimately make sure that the end consumer is happpy which is something Jennifer Fallon preaches constantly. Brad is definitely a charismatic guy but his drive for wanting to be a billionaire can take a toll on his relationships, partnerships, and customers.

Not really into the internet marketing gurus but I do think that if your only goal is to make as much money as possible, then you dont create something real, something that has value, something that helps others, and somemthing that you feel good about. The lawsuit against Jennifer is bogus and unfortunately she may be paying cash out of pocket to Brad since he has driven every start up he has attempted into the ground while she has continued to focus on her company strengths. But ultimately the asssets will be split in the divorce, not by the lawsuit where Brad claims ownership of the companies after filing bankruptcy post Jennifer starting the company. There is a trial date set for the divorce and the charges were ordered to be dropped against Jennifer in the above case since they will be ultimately handled in the divorce.

That’s just sad. If karma can be counted on, maybe Brad will end up with nothing (eventually).

There is nothing to prevent Jennifer from starting a parallel business with her other partners and leveraging her experience and contacts (being careful not to use any of the other business’ resources). That is, once she is out from under the divorce stuff.

@AspenBrands ::

Thanks for the comment. I agree with Unicorn that it was incredibly charitable to Brad. Maybe he was “smart” and “charismatic” at one time … but by now he’s morphed fully into a parasitic leech without redeeming qualities.

The divorce is obviously his best chance to get a taste of these companies he doesn’t own :: so I can’t quite figure out what the strategy behind this crap suit was. It makes him look so pathetic … what was he hoping to gain?

It’s actually pretty funny :: his new money making strategy is as old school as it gets :: GOLD DIGGER

I knew Brad and Jennifer in 2003 – worked for them as Brad tried to sell EMRs. He was also selling Flash ads to car dealers, and was working for a legal firm. We had meetings at my house, and Felon never once sat still…never. Focus was nonexistent. Jennifer was always nice, always a good person to deal with. Felon wanted to pay me much less than I wanted, so we lasted a week. In that week, every email he sent to anyone about me talked about how I was the most “killer” copywriter working(he never read anything I wrote, and ended up hating my style completely).
I was glad we fell off after a week – and about a year and a half later, I read how Jennifer’s site was taking off. About a month later, I read where Brad was making millions off it – and he was touring the country selling his “guru” abilities.
Never been a slicker conman than Felon – he cleans up well. He also thinks like a lawyer, and will not let you pin him to anything he can’t control.

I am really enjoying watching this all go up in smoke around him. I feel sorry for any of you that got duped – and encourage a class action. Make that fucker pay…he had no qualms about making you do it.

An “owner” could mean .01%. It’s unspecified. Nonetheless, things could have changed in those “years,” and given that it was all verbal anyway, the paper (or lack thereof) does him no favors.

There may be some interested parties wanting to know more about Brad Fallon’s admission of intentionally placing his purported “assets” in Jennifer’s name because of his bad credit situation. Let’s see where that admission leads. It sounds like a potentially massive achilles heal for him. Given that, I’m really surprised that Brad hasn’t seriously considered walking away from it and simply moving on.

I suppose you refer to Paragraph 36. But who gives a shit if he was “important in the creation” :: even if that were true {which I highly doubt because he is without goodness … and has no skills} :: it means exactly jack. “But she said” isn’t a legal argument :: it’s just weird.

And there really aren’t any “sides.” Brad is an asshole who needs to be stopped. What’s the other side? That he’s an asshole who should be allowed to continue?

I’m definitely entertained by this blog and SD. But a couple of things need to be said.

When are all of the marketers commenting and whining on this blog going to step-up and take some responsibility for their own actions and choices.

C’mon, none of these gurus held a gun to anyone’s head. They didn’t run a three-card monte on you. Give me a break.

They put out a sales pitch and you bit. Period.

And because you probably didn’t even do anything with what you bought you’re bitchin about how “immoral” they are? How they’re “scammers”? How all they are is out to get everyone and make a buck?

For every 100 cry babies out there there are a couple of people who stepped-up and did what they were supposed to do when they bought one of these products and got the results they were shooting for.

Stop putting the blame on someone else and take responsibility for your actions as an adult. Sheesh.

Am I saying there aren’t any shady marketers who don’t just care about the money? Of course not. But all of these gurus aren’t the ruthless jerkoffs you’re trying to make them out to be. Not by a long-shot, my friend.

For all of the gurus that are just out to get over on the suckers I hope they get what they deserve.

But it ain’t going to happen because of little ole SD or this blog.

Sure, the whiners and complainers will have fun spending their time here complaining about how they’ve been “robbed” and how they’ve been “swindled”. But when the dust settles SD will be seen as nothing more than a pissed-off, miserable blogger who did nothing more than try to come-off as a hot-shot “I’m bringin em down” wanna-be.

I will say this though, SD does have some balls. Kind of like the little fat bully on the playground who thinks he’s something he’s not only to get his ass kicked and laughed at later on.

All in all the blog is fun to read. I will miss it when SD disappears back into oblivion. Or is exposed as a fraud himself. Whichever comes first.

I don’t personally know the droid – so he may well be a sad, miserable fraud. In all honesty I doubt it, but it’s unimportant anyway.

Whatever the droid’s motives, enough evidence exists to point to the fact that StomperNet is a ridiculous fraud. If the droid kills himself because his existence is too miserable to comprehend it doesn’t make StomperNet any less of a fraud. And if only one person visits here before becoming a customer or affiliate, and changes their mind as a result, then this blog has served a valuable purpose.

None of the propaganda for the (secretly miserable) ‘gurus’ can offer any kind of useful evidence, and the tired old defence of their stuff is just to ignore all rational argument, and start calling names. Exactly what you’ve done. If this place is so pointless, why visit? Why post?

First I didn’t “bite” anything, so imagine that. I am taking responsibility, responsibility for others deceptive actions, and doing my part in disseminating the truth (isn’t that the fucking universal “law”, the “law of attraction”). I am but a fucking pawn controlled by forces greater then myself. You see, I wouldn’t even be here, if those fuckheads didn’t attract me to them.

It wasn’t a three-card-monte? Okay, lets give you that, they’re advertising techniques are more akin to a shell game (is that better for you), except the pea doesn’t exist, so no matter which shell one chooses…one loses..

Bernie Madoff made a sales pitch, and people bit, based on your reasoning his investors were at fault…I mean fuck them…nobody held a gun to their heads. See, your logic fails on the most basic of premises.

Now enough with the cheap psychological games, I bought a e-book on psychology and have a doctorate (from doctorit.com), so this whole first agree (create a common “bond”), and then make your argument is weak psychological ploy, which works on retarded poo flinging monkeys (are you a retarded poo flinging monkey?).

“Am I saying there aren’t any shady marketers who don’t just care about the money? Of course not. ”

There you go, your generalization that they exist, indicates that you have no idea who the “shady marketers” are, so if you can’t say who is a “shady marketer”, you can’t say, who is not. Since “shady marketers” aren’t going to admit to being shady marketers, by their very nature.

Also, “the pea doesn’t exist, so no matter which shell one chooses…one loses”??

So nobody has ever benefited from any of these gurus’ products?

There aren’t hundreds if not thousands of people out there who swear by some of the stuff they learned from these guys?

C’mon man. Your just pissed because you’re not one of them. And because you spent your money only to do nothing with it and reap no benefits. And now you’re crying the blues.

By benefit you mean someone that sold the lie to someone else. I don’t see thousands of satisfied “customers” I see pictures with written word beneath it. I see frauds claiming to be gurus (while all metrics point to the contrary), in order to sell the scam to others. I see false dissemination of metrics to prove a point…that is what you consider benefiting.

Hey, and continuing on your logic, the money Madoff “invested” benefited thousands (not everybody lost, just most did), except it was detrimental to a lot more, but as long as someone benefits….right?…fucking bimbecile…

So if one person steals from a bank, that is wrong, but if that person shares (and many benefit), then it’s okay….great logic….

I don’t think people are whining and not taking responsibility. There are plenty of people here who have paid good money for products that they used – but the products were full of MISinformation or FALSE information that did not help earn any profits no matter how closely the training was followed.

Then there are people like me who paid $10k for a lifetime membership to Stompernet when it first launched, only to find out after 10 months of paying my membership fees that it wasn’t the membership that was going to last a lifetime, but the monthly $800 fees. Yep, SN decided they hadn’t sold us a lifetime membership after all because now they had more faculty = more expenses = ongoing monthly membership fees for all lifetime members.

Like some of the people on this forum, I have been very successful online in SPITE of the dirtbags (happy to say MY name doesn’t appear on Salty’s shit list anywhere, and I plan to keep it that way). Why? Because I do business in a LEGAL, ETHICAL manner – unlike you guys at SN.

I bet you’re the guy who blames a woman when she gets raped.

Otherwise, how could you or any other red blooded guy resist her charms and control yourself. Right?

Oh, but you are the great marketer who was suppose to get more than 5000 new subscribers during that 999 launch. You did not even get close to half that! And why are people dropping out so fast? It must be because of that great info StomperNet provides.

Oh, I guess it’s those free tools that surprise, surprise, actually cost if you want them to do anything really useful. But that was Brad’s original plan – bring them in at $200 and push them up to $400 or maybe a $1000.

Which facts do I not have straight? Are you contesting the legitimacy of those documents? This post is pretty much all facts … as I was giving a summary of what I saw in the documents. People in the comments clearly understand them better than I do. Part of the reason I posted them was to hear explanations from people who know more about the situation than I … if you are one of those people … then please go ahead and speak. In specific … cause your general “we’ll stand behind Brad” sentiment is all but worthless.

It is unfortunate that the truth is going to hurt some of the employees … but that is on Brad and Andy … not me. Some of the commenters seem to have little sympathy for the employees :: but I don’t feel that way. This thing is very hard to escape … even after you know it’s bullshit. Especially considering that StomperNet is just the play thing of a much bigger problem that plagues the whole “industry.”

Maybe the employees should have stood up and called this thing out a long time ago. I certainly think they should have. But the fact is they didn’t. However :: to completely misquote Jesus :: let he who threw the first stone also throw the second. Dissent had been quashed :: and precious few people were even making an attempt to push back.

But now things have changed. What are you going to do now? Whose side are you on now?

So you stand behind Brad, were your pants up? Oh yes, Brad is wonderful! After StomperNet Live 8 he calls all the faculty to his house and basically fires them all. Oh, they can stay on but without pay and they still have to do faculty office hours and participate in the forum for nothing.

You remember that promise Andy and Brad made to the apprentice members, that is, they would never have to pay again for anything BrAndy did. But Brad, being the great guy he is, decided they have to pay for the new stomper tools. Guess he figured out some way to say they are not really his product.

And then there is the problem of throwing away 3 years of work some of his members had put in building links because Brad decided to just stop paying for the service. He did not even tell the guys in Utah he was dumping them until nearly 4 months after the fact.

Oh Brad puts on a clean public face to his members, but deal with him one on one and you learn how big an asshole he is with his bullying, demeaning emails and text messages.

And don’t think we are stupid. Brad was always a 50% owner in StomperNet and if it went down to the point he had to rescue it, he did allow it to happen.

Also, if Brad is such a wonderful “SEO guru” why did he have to have Dan Thies, Leslie Rohde and Andy Edmonds work on MWF to keep it ranking and producing? With those guys helping, any of us could be SEO gurus.

Why did Brad have to run the 999 launch out of his home kitchen? If StomperNet is such a successful business that’s “here to stay”, why can’t they get a real office.

Ask yourself: what are the legal and civil implications of non-disclosed ownership and control of a business? Particularly related to any representations made to or information withheld from banks, merchant providers, creditors, etc.?

Brad clearly stated his intent to conceal his claimed ownership in that legal document. There is no back pedalling now.

This is a significant point worth staying focused on.

OK so ya, Maybe people go through a tough time and it is a shame when your friends don’t stick by you.
BUT YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?
Because when you hang around with people with extremely low morals like Frank Kern, Pagan, Filsaime, Diess, Belcher and others, then that is what you are. You are the scum you hang around with. If Brad wanted to clean up his act and gain back any sense of respect then he needs to get with good and decent human beings that are successful and don’t feel the need to lie cheat and steal from people. THAT’S IT. All of you that don’t understand that don’t have a fucking clue about success. Then he can start on the road to rehabilitation. But if he stays on that path he is fucked. It amazes me how people cant look right around themselves and see how their surroundings and fucking them into an oblivion. And then the people around him get the same shit on them.
It is a simple rules of the universe.

You remember that promise Andy and Brad made to the apprentice members, that is, they would never have to pay again for anything BrAndy did. But Brad, being the great guy he is, decided they have to pay for the new stomper tools. Guess he figured out some way to say they are not really his product.
The original Stomper was advertised as a 12-month program (see the still visible http://www.convertlinks.com/precart.php)

At the end of the year, they announced “Stompernet 2″ and claimed:

a) They had always planned on Stomper being a membership site (even though they had never said that in the previous 12 months) and, therefore…

b) Stomper 2 (if it was NOT a new thing, why the new number?) was not a “new BrAndy” product and, therefore, not something that qualified as part of the bonus.

And don’t get me started on the yelling and name-calling when the 10 of us “Fast Starters” asked for any of the promised bonuses(I overheard Stompernet staff talking about me — not knowing who I was — and was AMAZED at how Andy had described me).

What amazed me most, is that the 10 of us would have been happy with just continued access to the online material, which would have cost, oh, nothing for them to provide.

At one point, Andy told me that he worded his sales letter in a deliberately vague way so he could back out of providing what he promised. Of course, the only person who thought it was vague was him.

You were in that “Beginners Fast Track Program” ran by Fallon and Kern. They also had Armand Morin and Mike Filsaime make initial videos but they never followed through. Remember how you could never get answers from Fallon or Kern and then after about 3 months they just dropped it all. That’s when they brought in “faculty” to try to continue offering something of value and Fallon basically left and Andy took over. Now Fallon is back in charge and it SUCKS as only he can do!!

As an amendment to my previous post about not receiving bonuses promised to the Stompernet Fast Movers, I have this quick story.

One of the Fast Mover Bonuses was “Free Lifetime Entrance to any future coaching programs Brad or Andy ever hold.”

So, after Andy launched his new Video Boss coaching program, I emailed and asked for admission.

Stacy Price and Jim Jenkins replied in a kind and timely manner, letting me know they would forward my request to Andy as soon as things settled down a bit from the launch.

And just now I got the email from Andy with my members access to Video Boss.

Aspen Brands said:

The trial date for the Fallon divorce is 4-19, 2010. There will be a lot of information that becomes public knowledge. A lot of information that will be embarassing to both of them but much more so for Brad.

Interesting that Brad tells Jennifer that he is not about anything but having a good relationship with her going forward yet he continues to litigate without settling and continues to not want to prejudice his legal strategy in any way. He says he deserves more money from the contribution he made to the Aspen Brands. What about the lack of contributions he made and the wasted marital assets on Free IQ, being a movie producer, SEO Research, and now Stompernet debt.

Brad Fallon has been able to fly first class to Vietnam, Iceland, Australia, Hawaii, Cancun, Gallopagos Islands, LA, Miami, Vegas and go on cruises, all within the last 12 months. Tough life in tough hotels like the Ritz and the Four Seasons. Could those pay off debts that he owes? Brad Fallon has more than just one bankruptcy. He has more than two. It is disturbing to me that taxpayer’s money supports his lifestyle and then he can just file and make it go away. Jennifer knew about the bankruptcies but she drank the koolaid.

If Brad had a heart and not just an ego, he would move on and create a new business or focus on one of his own for a change. They have twin daughters. A payoff to Brad will only help sustain his lifestyle as opposed to building something that makes a difference in people’s lives such as to all the employees that work for the Aspen Brands. Who is likely to be more responsible with their girls’ financial future or with the company’s financial future?

Brad, if you were really who you say you are, why are you fighting for money when you preach that it does not matter to you? You want what is fair? Was it fair for you to spend other people’s money promising big returns? Was it fair for you to be self absorbed and only look out for your own ego and reputation as a high roller? Was it fair for you to take all kinds of risks with marital assets and now that they are gone, take the only thing that Jennifer has put her heart and soul into for the last 6 years.

You don’t deserve any money. You are fortunate to have healthy daughters and you owe a lot of your internet fame to embellishing the numbers on the e-commerce sites from Smart Marketing and showinng people how they could do the same. But did you follow through with that pitch? Or did you get bored and despite the consumer, decided to do what is always in your best interest without considering what you do to relationships, those with consumers, partners, affiliates, girlfriends.

“Just because something is big does not necessarily mean it is something you should get into. Elephants are big, but are you going to use elephants in your next marketing campaign? I don’t think so.”

I can’t even believe he said any of this…

First of all, the way he meant ‘big’ in the first sentence was as a synonym to the word ‘popular’. Just because something is popular or being used by everyone (big), does not necessarily mean it is something you should get into.

Agreed.

“Elephants are big”. Big, in this next sentence, is still referring to popularity…but completely misused with the word ‘big’ in terms of physical size, hence the use of an elephant. His misuse of the synonym for ‘big’ here is the issue. AND A COMPLETE FUCKING SCUM TACTIC. (Either that or he has a REAAAALLY low IQ). Elephants are not popular/big…so obviously you won’t use them in your marketing campaign (unless you market something related to or involving the use of elephants).

Brad has decided to linguistically screw around with words to get agreement from the person watching (Brad: “you don’t just do something cause it’s popular” User: “That’s true” Brad: “Elephants are big” User: “Yes they are” Brad: “But you wouldn’t use an elephant in your marketing right?” User: “hehe Of course not, you’re so right Brad! [you sly fox]“). He completely misrepresents the use of the word ‘big’ to try and get more agreement. And since all the sentences are indeed true, we tend to agree. (You know, unless we USE CRITICAL THINKING TO REALIZE HOW RIDICULOUS THE SENTENCE STRUCTURES AND POINTS BEING MADE ARE.)

This is only 10 seconds of the video. But if you ever wonder why Brad sucks at sales copy, well, there you have it. He doesn’t even use convincing proof. Just word play.

Wish I’d found this blog a lot sooner before I wasted money with stompernet. Luckily, it was only for a couple of months and after they dropped their membership fees. Still, I’m bitter!

I started getting bad vibes pretty quickly when I found out how poor their customer support was. Practically non-existent. You can find phone support numbers to call but no live person ever picks up. For a company charging that much money, that was just suspicious. I think support calls were simply being forwarded to one person, working out of their home. That person wasn’t picking up, nor was she checking messages or returning calls in any kind of timely fashion.

I am surprised on one has mentioned one “Shawn Casey” (gold-wares.com) who is one of their bonus people they were always promoting. “Shawn Casey” and the scamming scum associated with him are uber aggressive in marketing their useless products like Mining Gold on the Internet, etc. And not just via email, but by telemarketing. Yep, stompernet caused my home phone number to be given out to these bastards who were then calling me multiple times a day and hanging up when they got my voicemail. I have call block so I was just blocking the numbers on the caller ID but they have MANY MANY different phone numbers, with different area codes. Eventually, I got fed up and googled some of those numbers. That is when I found the Shawn Casey (and hence stompernet) connection. These are just a few of the sites I found where other people were complaining about telemarketing calls from Shawn Casey-related “businesses”:

It seems to me that you guys have nothing better to do with your lives than to bad-mouth other people. You dont have success of your own therefore you go out of your way to make others look bad, so you can look good (or so you think). You don’t seem to realize this but it actually shows the type of shitty-mentality you have.
If you were at all decent people you would stop bad-mouthing others and start getting a life for yourselves.

I also think that because you don’t know how to be successful at anything (other than bad-mouthing other people) that you are going out of your way to try to prove others are also standing behind the door, but you are too stupid to realize that most of the public can see right through you.

Personally, I would not want to be ^Wannabe^ a person who deceives people and exploits their ignorance and emotions for my own financial gain. I also don’t think living a life watching my back from police, and the Feds is appealing.

Some how, when I look at the lives of these people there is an emptiness and chaos that is not worth any amount of money for me. No thanks.

These people have destroyed many lives, also they don’t want to face that. I wouldn’t want the karma that these crooks have. Also, they may think they have gotten away with something, but you always know what you did and you can’t escape your own mind.

@SeekingTheTruth,

Well…lets put it this way….from 2006 (possibly earlier until 2008)…they had testiMOANials)…granted total bs…but testiMOANIALS none the less….

view their testes here….

http://web.archive.org/web/20060618092702/seoresearch.com/client_testimonials.htm

(oh look…a teste for myweddingfavors.com where Jennifer Nichols claims Brad and his team were SEO for her site…happy divorce)….anyways I digress….

free glucose meters…no traffic…bummer

shadow rain (a south african design firm claiming to have went from 1.6K to 4K visitors per month….no traffic…nothing (granted south african traffic might include cars that pass the building that contain the offices of the design firm, they are real “loose” with “definitions” over there….

revco day…..no traffic…nothing…but claims to be on page one for certain keywords….not that they brought about any traffic….but it’s only a matter of time before someone puts in the phrase “blue monkeys fly out of brad fallons butt”….and they hit the traffic jackpot….

Sounds like a solid company…I especially like the way they say their “case studes” are “coming soon”….well fuck me…they only been around since 2004….give em a few years (they are probably in the midst of “creating” some sweet case studies)…then check out their case studies (see if they are good enticing lies)..then make your decision on if you want their “help”

@myweddingfavors ::

That’s a stupid comment. This post has nothing to do with myweddingfavors … and that attempt to keyword load behind the link to their site is ludicrous. It won’t work … and if it does … I’ll fix it.

Brad Fallon is a scammer.

Bite me.

Loser.

You forgot to mention how Jennifer (alcoholic, adulteress and major scumbag herself) found Brad’s credit card bills with escort service charges on them and email messages from his mistress (and neighbor) referencing his “paddling sessions” in New York. He can’t pay his affiliates because he’s buying pussy with the profits! He got caught and that’s the only reason for the divorce. He would have never left her and given up the gravy train of living in her new $2 Million dollar home in Brookhaven and using his VIP card at the Pink Pony while his wife and kids were at home.*

*Allegedly, of course

@My Little Pony,

Allegedly in that I never personally witnessed the events. We all know how litigation-happy this bunch is enema nozzles are, don’t we?

However, how could I know so many specifics if I wasn’t close to the source? ;-)

Maybe you should hook me up with some of the details … sounds like something The People really need to know.

We can’t have mad spankers roaming the street … not on my watch!

Anybody have an update on the Fallon divorce trial slam-fest? It was supposedly set to begin the first week of May. Is it settled/continued/postponed? It should all be public record, if anyone is within earshot of the festivities or knows someone close to the fireworks.

@My Little Pony, who got the site (the wedding crap site he claims make bazillions)again?
oh yeah – she did.
Whose career is built on building-up something he doesn’t even own?
oh yeah – his is.

I bet she got whatever she wanted, and he crawled away like the bitch she really is.
Andy always let him be on top, so he was no doubt confused.

I just got spam via LinkedIn from someone who said she got 19 tickets, worth $497 each, to the StomperNet conference in Vegas, and wants to give one of them to me for free, because I’m one of her LinkedIn friends. Of course, I’ve never heard of her, even though she says we’re in the same group, which she doesn’t name.

Wow! A total stranger wants to spend $497 to help me out like this? Awesome!

The link in the email was an affiliate link. (The short url she gave me http://urlbit.org/FXv5/5093891 points to
