About Me
Dan on November 22nd, 2005
In the process of restarting this site I’ll be changing the “About Me” section. For now I’ll say I’m a web developer, a former criminal, a lover of fast cars, and a fitness fanatic.

Dan…Dan…Dan…..you say that you are unable to discuss your crime, yet it is simple enough to “Google” your name and find out all the details. As a sociologist and behavior analyst, it is interesting to me to read the facts of your crime, then look here at all this fluff you think is important. If this is your journey to becoming a better person, you are heading down the wrong path, Danny-boy. To become a decent person, to have any sort of
worth is this world, requires compassion, care, and love for others, none of which can be aquired through poly-phasic sleep or Forex trades. Consider volunteering at a shelter or crisis nursery, or to help clean up a local park, instead of always putting yourself first. The #1 problem with today’s society
is GREED and selfishness, and sorry to say, but you are the epitomy of this piggish gluttony that is destroying us. Even putting the details of your crime aside, you are a hypocrite for bragging about your money-making abilities (the legal ones, that is) and refusing to take donations for your site, claiming that is would be stooping as low as a street beggar, yet you take federal grant money to attend college!! What is wrong with our governement, when we give away money to already-wealthy felons, while the middle class have to bust their asses to pay for their education? And that is leaving out the fact that the $400,000 you stole could have paid for your education 1000x over. I’m sure the rest of America would agree with me when I say that I would much rather see my tax dollars go to providing you with the 3 basic meals served in your 3′x5′ cell than to send someone like you through college. Come on, are you really the type to use your brain power to help others, by developing some cure or inventing something to better society, or will the focus always be “Dan”?!? I think your site viewers would agree with me when I say that I would love to see you devote some of this time and useless energy to really improving yourself and your place in society, instead of ranting about Sketchers sneakers and omeletts.

You make some interesting points but you are also grossly misinformed. I’ll try to reply to everything in your comment but I’m sure I’ll leave something out.
You’re right about my focus on improving myself and leaving others out. I haven’t done any volunteer work in quite a while. I was very self-centered when I was a criminal. Prior to the start of my self-improvement phase, as it may be called, I was basicly just existing. You’re right, now I feel I’ve improved myself and my life quite a bit and now need to focus on helping others. I recently volunteered to assist in putting together a car show to benefit MADD. I’ll post details of it soon. I’ll start looking for other things I can do to help others.
I’m going to have to disagree with you about greed. Greed is good. Greed is what brings innovation and development. If it wasn’t for greed all of your big drug companies wouldn’t be in business today. Neither would half of your other businesses that bring cutting edge development to market. I could go on and on but I’ll save it for another time. Selfishness, on the other hand, is a strong negative aspect of today’s society. I don’t believe I’m selfish, at least not anymore. Again, this is content for another post. I could write pages on the subject.
I also agree that federal grant money is out of control. It’s a socialist program just like welfare and social security. It should be eliminated just like everything else our government hands out. That said, you obviously don’t understand how the grant system works. Let me explain it for you. Grants for the current school year are based on your tax return for the previous year. My income last year was less than $10,000. That’s why I qualify for a free ride. Just because I earned a nice return on my investment last month doesn’t mean I made a lot of money. The balance in my account isn’t high.
Don’t believe everything you read in the news, it isn’t all true. I haven’t had $400,000 pass through my hands over my lifetime. Also, I have no money left from when I was a criminal. Instead of saving money I would spend it. If I needed more I worked more. If I didn’t need a lot I didn’t work very hard.
I felt that I needed to make myself a better person. I was one of the people who needed help. Now that I no longer feel that way I can start helping others. I thank you for reminding me of that. I hadn’t thought about it for quite some time.

I am an FXIG member and noticed your posts. Have you had your withdrawal taken out of trade yet ? Mine has not, I thought the money would be taken out of trade by now. Reply when you can.

This isn’t the place to discuss this. I have emailed you.

Just like to comment on Emily’s judgement of Dan. You say you are a socialist and behaviour analyst you should have also included that you are a very nasty person. I won’t comment on everything you have said but it’s disgusting the way you take the time to write nasty things about people, why don’t you concentrate on your own life. If people don’t have anything to give that is fine too not everyone is here to help others, we are all unique being and we all have a different mission in this life. Who’s not to say that Dan won’t help others once he has enough for himself?
Also how dare you judge Dan on his choice of lifestyle.
Hey Dan hang in there and email me I have some good stuff which I like to share with you and don’t worry it does not involve religions.

Hey don’t listen to those so called do gooders they are full of it! They do more harm to society then you ever will.

Hello Dan,
It has been interesting for me to look over your website and learn a bit more about you. I enjoyed your posts at TalkGold and have missed your intelligent participation there since you last posted in November. I hope that your absence is not a result of some of the challenges with the legal system mentioned on this site.
Regards,
SD
