Never did I suspect you or Tim to be involved in Jasep's shady dealing'sGood evening everyone,
First thing I want to say is I've never been a big forum guy but I will do my best to stay on top of this and answer each and every question you have for me. I want to give my background and relationship with JaSep. I became friends with JaSep through my friendship with Tim Byrd. Tim and I met through poker and have become very close friends over the years. Tim considered and even introduced JaSep to me as his brother and our friendship started there. We all use to play a weekly home game at Tim's house and these were a majority of my original interactions with JaSep. Skipping ahead through the years JaSep and I never had stayed in touch outside of seeing each other through Tim. Such as family parties or poker tournaments. But we obviously started to talk more with the start of Filthy Limper. Tim called me up one day and asked me to come over his house bc he and JaSep had something they wanted to discuss with me. They told me they were starting FLPR and asked me to partner up with them. I agreed and we signed contracts and I was given a 10% stake in FLPR. From there 99% of my interactions with JaSep would happen on the day of our show. Anyone who has listened to the show for a long time would know all of these facts already.
I want to start by saying I've never made or collected any money from FLPR or VPR. JaSep owes me a few hundred dollars but nothing along the lines of anyone else. Everything that is going on here makes me sick. I did these radio shows bc I love the game of poker and doing radio was a gear hobby for me. I always looked forward to Thursday nights and would always brag to everyone I knew about what I was apart of. I feel like all those things were ripped away from bc of the bad decisions and lies of someone who I called a friend. So yes I am upset and pissed off about what has been taken from me. I understand some people will look at me as guilty by association and I hope I can gain all of your trust back and answer any questions you have. Since day 1 of hearing about Project Sept I felt like I asked the tough questions that I would want answered if my money was involved. I did receive a little bit of heat for grilling him but the one thing that anyone who knows me would say is that I will always be honest and speak out about what I believe in.
I don't know what other light I can shed on anything right now. I feel disgusted bc I was naive and taken advantage of by a friend. I never knew anything about John Devine paying to own part of the site. I never received any money from that or from our sponsorship with BSA. I am hoping that my suspicions about the money for 22Q are wrong. I truly hope that they received every single dollar we raised for them. The iron man is one the things in my life I am most proud of and feel like a better person for doing it. As many of you know I have a large very close family who also took part in it and I'm proud of that as well. I pledge here that if any money was not sent to the charity that I will contribute that money to the charity to make it right. JoeU knows me better than anyone in this community and can back me up that I had no involvement in any wrong doings. But just bc of that doesn't make me completely innocent and there should have been a checks and balances. I'm rambling now bc I'm truly upset about everything that has happened.
Lastly for now I want to tell everyone that I still feel truly blessed for all the relationships and friends I have made through the shows. Especially to have become good friends with Drexel and I hope some day to get back on the air with him and to continue to learn from the best in the business. Like I said before ask any question you want me to answer either here or on twitter I am imneverwright on there.
Thanks for your time
