i bet dakota fred finds plenty of gold. unlike the idiots previously there. just goes to show even if you got all the gear its not a guarantee of success
I don't know why so many of you are picking on Dakota Fred?
Business is business, if you don't pay you don't stay.
Or would you be happy if your lessee did not pay his lease?
And you would not jump on a better opportunity when it shows, right i.e. selling your claim when you can!?
They are ALL in for the money & not for emotions and that's all it is about.
altho that's true....fred led them up there, w/out disclosing his plans to boot them off....all while they made preperations to come up and mine...and even let them get the season rolling for him....now that's a shady motherfucker......
.........
That's NOT how it went down.
They went up there even though a lease payment already had been skipped.
General lease conditions on mineral rights (such as what the Hoffman crew had) clearly state if you miss on one single payment it means the lease has been broken.
Dakota Fred is not the one who missed his payment, he took advantage of a situation someone else was the cause for. Fred just moved on with his own stuff, you can't blame him for that.
yeah it IS how it went down...they were LATE on a payment...not missed....and yeah that does violate the lease agreement, but they were led to believe that it was all good.
..fred even called them before the season knowing what was gonna go down, but told them he'd talk to them when they got up there
Come on guys you know Earl and Fred just used the Hoffman's money to dig the hole for them knowing full well they would be late on the lease payment.
What Fred and Earl did was shady but legal. That's about all there is to it.
if .if they had done more reasearch and studying they would have made money and still be on the site.
head up there for the season nokuy. a guy with dreads in the crew would make things interesting
lol...i'd have to be on my own....i could never live that close to other ppl.
it was funny when they were settin' up their spots for their campers...i said to my wife..."why the fuck are they all parking right next to each other"...i would be as far off into the woods as i could get my rig...and away from everyone.
im sure a dreadie could make it more entertaining ...pretty funny as is tho
