Re: Samuel Dewitt aka Busizem etc and his gal Lizzie What painting was this? Sam was the go-between for a painting I commissioned from SEEN that never turned up, despite him saying Rich had sent it blah blah - there was no proof of postage and I couldn't get hold of SEEN direct to work out WTF had happened. So yeah i'm out about $1k from 4 years back
Re: Samuel Dewitt aka Busizem etc and his gal Lizzie I like the idea of making this a sticky. Can a mod with the capabilities do that please?
Re: Samuel Dewitt aka Busizem etc and his gal Lizzie From what I've read here and over at that 'other' forum, his scams include use of the USPS, which indeed does fall under the 'federal offense' category.
Re: Samuel Dewitt aka Busizem etc and his gal Lizzie I wonder if his ex gf, gf,]whatever her busted ass title is, has figured out she's an accessory to a federal offense yet? She'll probably suddenly develop Cancer too I bet.
Re: Samuel Dewitt aka Busizem etc and his gal Lizzie I doubt that SEEN ever heard about that commission, or received a dime of that money. According to SEEN, this guy had access to his studio, and took a bunch of paintings and has been selling and trading them ever since. I confronted busizem with this, and got a sob story about how SEEN was an alcoholic & mean, and broke some of busizem's stuff, (??) so somehow that justified stealing art. He then said it was cool, because he had a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist!!!! Now mind you, this idiot just admitted to one artist that he stole art from another artist, and is still thinks he can close the deal!! Not just completely shameless, but stupid. I think the guy has a screw loose, because this isn't even profitable scamming, it seems more like obsessive-compulsive behavior.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Someone just PM'ed me the info that this guy is an ex-junkie. That explains all this - classic addictive behavior. What a sad piece of shit.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' ye, he needs a timeout or to give back bigger with apologies to balance the scales. i'm surprised he still enjoys toys, i'd feel sick looking at my loot.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' I'm just guessing, but I think the time for apologies has past.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Jail time is what he needs....wait, didn't someone already say that. Seriously, if he has all these aliases, paypal scams, art scams and a registered, respected business professional like Frank Kozik is involved..... I'd say the net is closing. All you guys who have emails from this guys scams should send them all in to frank with the full headers and footers and collate them into one big folder.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Step 11 of recovery: lie, cheat and steal. Step 12: throat punch
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' What step of recovery involves growing out that awesome forehead blanket of his?
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Seems like the bar has been raised: Toy thief wanted to rip off stores in all 50 states, police say
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Touche. Toys just happen to be his avenue of greed. And it sounds like he tried to heist a hell of a lot more than the average cat burglar does too... I'm positive that he's crossed some federal lines here, but it's the personal stuff that he's pulled with so many of us that really sucks. Anything that comes his way is of his own doing. Whether I agree with what happens to him or not, he opened this door & whatever faces him on the other side he's brought upon himself. But whatever happens in this case, ^THIS^ is a MUST! Ditto. I am sure I have those same 3 emails. I'm SO tempted to post them on here, just so those not targeted can understand exactly how this becomes personal. I have to stop myself though, because I don't want to cross any privacy lines that make the emails not admissible in court It's just a matter of time. And he'll beat the cancer, I'm sure of it. After all, he's beaten it every other time he's had it.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' ^ I think it'd be a good idea to get in touch with Frank and forward those e-mails to him. I'm curious, has any headway been made with this whole thing?
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Sweet pics. It's also nice to know who his buddies are, via the comments on those sweet pics.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' Wait, I thought this guy was dead from cancer or something.
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' And didnt his house burn down? Maybe its the ghost of Sam
Re: Don't trust 'Sam' or 'Elizabeth Record' wtf... who sends this idiot a bag full of purple parts to play with? i can't wait to hear when the feds have caught up to cancer boy..
