on another note I thought that it was strange that all of a sudden
JB was offering the 40% discount on seed purchases made with
bitcoins.... maybe JB developed a hardon for bitcoins..

i made only one purchase at TSD about 12 months ago and got
CHIMERA MENTAL FLOSS as they were sold out on here...i still
have those beans in fridge and have not used any....they did
not come in a breeder pack , just a small ziplock with MF hand written
in black texta .... i will have check with CHIMERA on packaging.

Thanks for pics... My MF just came in a very small clear plastic ziplock...no CHIMERA logo ID at all.....just the letters MF handwritten... TSD had a special on CHIMERA seeds at the time...buy 2 packs and get 1 free. CHEERS

The Bay and the Boo don't cheat you. I have never seen any evidence that you need to worry about getting what you expect from them.

Clarence has always showed impeccable honesty with everyone as far as I know.

I can assure you that seeds bought here are not frauds. Bog


YES! Those are my thoughts exactly!

best,

It's impossible for me to tell you if those seeds are legit. JB did have a fair portion of my stock- for which I've never been paid- that was provided in lots per variety along with packaging materials. He was to pickup the manilla envelopes in the country of receipt as to save shipping boxes of envelopes around the world. He never did and I can only assume he sold the seeds without the packages whether the were sold as what they were or not. What you have ay be legit stock, I don't know, all I know is I never received a cent for it and it's not just a few packs.

This all started to fall apart in May of 2012, I've been hearing stories about how stock was going to be returned, forwarded to other distributors, misplaced in the mail blah blah blah since July 2012. I've been banned at tsd since September of last year, unable to log in or post after my last post there which was in public asking to be paid.

Since then it's been one lie after another lie as to why he could not send the seeds along, or they were sent and never picked up from the postal service, or the address was wrong, or blah blah blah... just a few weeks ago I got a message from him saying how he was going to return them... it's pathological bullshit. He has an ability to just lie to your face, lie to himself, tell you something as if it's true to the point he almost believes it... the kid is sick, a sociopath, a liar and a shill.

FF what would you call someone that accepts stock and never pays for it, sells the stock, uses the money to pay other people, uses the money to keep his website going, uses the money to travel around europe promoting his lies... repeatedly taking from Peter to pay Paul. It's a scam when Madoff does it, it's a scam when john does it. Because he never ripped you off personally, doesn't mean he isn't a thief and a con; that's not up for debate. Keep your head buried in the sand if you feel better about the world that way, but that's not going to stop the truth from being the truth.

Since this thread started I've had so many people contact me telling me about how jb tried to get them involved in projects, promising the world, taking taking taking and never living up to his end, lying to people repeatedly. the kid is a serial user trying to take advantage of others hard work and reputations to build his psychotic little empire... I'm amazed how many people bought into his BS, really.

I read here about people asking us to beg your forgiveness for doing business with JB and TSD .get over yourselfs and quite blaming people who only fault was to believe he was serious about staying in business and giving breeders and customers a better break .I got conned and thought it was for real and he would stay around and make good on his debts ,since he just rolled it up and split I have no illusions about that since he left no way for anyone to contact him to make any arrangments to pay anyone off.

i believe in cannibus as a medicine and was willing to take the risk of losing my owed payments if it would keep the doors open to help the people who needed it the most .so I got suckered big deal its only money If I knew he was a thief and did not care about the sick and dying I would have never let my strains be there to begin with .hind sight is 20 20 and I am over it and just hope he returns everyones stuff he has not sold so it can continue to help the most needy in the screwed up world we call modern medicine have a choice in what they use or put in their body aloha cls. ps so don't hold your breath waiting for me to beg your forgiveness for having a heart and caring and being a sucker because I do give a shit about people before profit or glory

amazes me that JB wasn't even a stoner..

like why would he even give a shit about fucking all of us if possible? :dunno:

to people from outside of this whole cannabis world it just appears like a lot of power and money that is up for grabs but it's a fools throne that never lasts.. And as skip pointed out we do mostly come across as complete unprofessional saps just asking to be conned.. too much heart and not enough head, it maybe one of the 'allies' that go with this sweet plant..

And greed will always take over without a vested interest in not screwing people and he had no reason to stay true to anything..

Truly a bad choice letting someone like that into this world, especially that deep..

I bet he walked away with a nice chunk of change.
Some people are true sociopaths and could give 2 shits who they screw.

Rare Dankness has stated they will replace any pack bought between 5/1 and 12/25. Will you do the same?

0 out of 5 members found this post helpful.

Not sure what was so wrong here. BOG has always been a stand up vendor and taken care of his customers; I was just seeing where he stood when it came to replacing potentially fake packs. No offense intended.

Thanks for adding your 2 cents CS. I think you misunderstood.

Some people have asked for an amnesty for those who may have been banned in the past. So yes, some ppl seem to want to start anew. But that is what they need to do, start a new account.

I also see people wondering if they'll get their due, asking whether they can trust what they got from TSD, asking vendors what they know - the truth - so they can understand what went down. Is that wrong?

I see certain butt hurt breeders addressing the concerns of their customers here, since they can't do that on TSD anymore.

If others feel they really have nothing to say, it's up to them. But if vendors miss this opportunity to address what happened on TSD, it's their loss.

I think the picture of what went down has been clarified by those who came forward.

This incident will soon fade, but the bad taste left by the TSD disaster may linger on for many.

The canna community has a long memory....

Let's keep the drama to a minimum.

If anyone has anything useful to add, please do.

You made an assumption that the situation with BOG was similiar to another vendor's situation, in the time sense. That does not appear to be the case. I think if there are fake BOG beans out there, it would be from a different (much shorter) time frame from what I read.

Your original post did seem like a dis aimed at BOG, thanks for clarifying that.

J.B. runs riu. He knew the traffic & affect these bullshit artist played. They scammed everyone. Read thru some of those seed collect post, the same cats still out herding the sheep NOW, beware.
I don't think JB runs RIU, as it's been around a long time. Are you saying he's webmaster? You say certain threads about TSD were suppressed there. Perhaps it was just hippie420 in one of his many guises running damage control. Oh yeah, hippie420 is everywhere, in places where JB never went. Somebody had to do all that spamming to drive traffic to TSD.

Many ppl probably think they got a "special" personal invitation from hippie420 to join a website, but in reality they just got a form letter, same exact text, word for word, made to look personal.

Do you usually respond to spam? Probably not.

This is a big reason why we ask people to report spam in their PMs, visitor messages or elsewhere on icmag.

Nearly every spam is a con, doesn't everyone know that?

Of topic a bit maybe, I've heard plenty of "jumping ship", type comments.

I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only one who discovered TSD, and others, ONLY because the CC/DC option went down, at Bay/Boo.

Glad I never placed an order tho'.

mr C. isn't jb.
...himself someone says otherwise is a poor fool envious.

Unfortunately, instead I bought illuminati's ied by tsd about a month ago, someone knows if a stock is legitimate or not?

c'mon Hippy, what is your response to these claims by Skip and others.

you invited me bro but it never felt right there and im glad I never bought the allure of CC processing........just wanted to have other outlets.

if ya led the charge in recruiting people then was it from the goodness of your heart or was there a money motive bro.

In hindsight you had to know of jb potentially being a thief due to info out on the mag so why recruit anyone?



peace
