Kill yourself and it will garner double the donations DV's would

Fucking unbelievable someone would stoop that low.

:disgust

isn't this some kind of fraud?

legality wise I mean.

There's a lot of things I have seen since getting into this business in the mid-90's that made me wonder WTF is wrong with someone. Thus, not much surprises me anymore. However, this is one of those cases that managed to surprise me in how low a person would go and how much value they place(d) on their own integrity.

I have several concerns. Firstly, I worry that his family will be dragged through something additional that they don't wish to go through because of the attention this is going to garner. Really, this is a newsworthy thing and it feels like something AVN or Xbiz should actively investigate as money (and time in the case of several of us) was put into it. However, as much as Todd could get down in the trenches of a board argument, I am not sure he would want his kids and family to have to go through the boiler house that is a GFY/Webmaster storm.

Secondly, I worry that the Christmas toy drive that was restarted last year in his memory will be tarnished because people will associate it with whatever went on here. I want to say clearly that Fletch was not involved with that at all.

Internet is interstate ... If you were fraudulently enticed to send money call the FBI. Interesting to see if anything happens.

fifty baddog beer drinking scammer threads

mods/admins should sticky this thread

This is the thread in question? " https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1045147 "
I was not able to comprehend the story totally so I had to search how and what
But this is pretty sick stuff if true.

Thats horrible. So much for being "friends".

Sickening how the vultures are ready to pounce when somebody passes.I sure hope Karma is a Bitch

I'm truly shocked.

I don't feel bad for donating, but I feel bad if the money was not used for the purpose I intended, which was to take care of Todd's family.

RIP Todd...

ADG

It doesn't shock me that it was another donation thread where people got scammed...

What shocks me is that it is supposedly his business partner that did this to his family.

I hope it's not true. If it is, I hope judgment day, karma and anything else are all real.

Disturbing if true. Sarah, i sent you a msg.

When was the last time there has been a successful, legitimate, donation thread on here, seriously?

:upsidedow

I met todd ,and fletch dealt with them , they were great . sorry things have come to this.

I really just want to address the "donation threads are all scams" idea.

I gave to Todd's Fund , and yes it may have gone bad.OK.

However , Forest , for one and many others have started donation threads that did everything that was expected of them.

I have given to them in the past and will in the future.

One donation set up going wrong will not stop me happily giving to the real causes.

Thats all. Did not think it right that this one fuck up , should be used as an excuse not to give to the many many worthy causes posted here.

QFT! :thumbsup +1

Un Fucking Real. I sure hope Kharma's a BIG BITCH to those 2 guys if story is true.

There is no such thing as karma.

Basturds ...

Agree with you 100%, I spoke to Forest yesterday and we are doing it again this year and goal is 300 Kids.

Yes, it is being done again and I can't stress enough how it is not at all connected to the fund Fletch set up.

for once i agree with baddog :1orglaugh

What Bullshit.....
 

Hello all,

You know its very sad that I have to log in to GFY a few days before the 1 year anniversary of Todd's (sextoyking) death and explain all of this. I really just want the man to rest in peace. One comment from one person and a whole shit storm starts. What Todd's EX-wife and her co-horts are saying is totally not true. Here's the truth.....

When Todd died no one from his family or his side of the family stepped up to the plate to take care of his affairs. No one had the money or didn't want to. If I didn't step up the man would have been cremated and put in a plastic bag. I didn't think that right for the kind of man Todd was and for his family. So, I plunked out between $12K of my own money to try and give the man a proper burial. I did this for Mary and the kids. I also involved them in the whole process. They wanted a viewing so I paid to have him prepped and presentable before the cremation. They wanted a service so I paid for the service and also a reception afterwards. I even paid an extra $1200 to give Mary and each of the girls a necklace with some of his ashes in them so they could always have a part of him close to their hearts. At that time everyone was SOOOO grateful to me for doing that, but no one offered to chip in and I didn't ask for anything from anyone....all out of my pocket.

Then, I tried to get a military burial because Todd had served, but he didn't qualify. So, there was no place to put him to rest and everyone was fighting as to who would hold his ashes. So again, I stepped up and forked out another 3 grand to have him placed in a local cemetary where everyone currently lives so that they would have a place to go anytime, 24/7 to visit him if they wanted. I did that for his family....out of my own pocket.

I never wanted to even do a donation site! It was Todd's girls that came to me and said they wanted to do it. They told me that they wanted to try and recoup the money that I had spent to bury their dad and give him a decent funeral FOR THEM. So, I said ok....I'll get a donation site going and depending on how it goes the first $10K or so will go to me because that is what I spent of my own money and if there was anymore then I would divide that between all his children....which there is a total of 6 of them. So, when the site was up I had business cards made and the girls went out to solicit donations and I came to this community to ask all of you for donations. At that time the economy was bad....still is....and a lot of us were suffering, but many of you made the donations you could and I appreciated that and thank everyone that did. I also made a donation to the giving tree that year too because they did it in part in Todd's name too. I made one post on here to ask for donations and I made one more to thank everyone that did. You can check out the posts. I did not continually harp and ask for more money. People did what they could and I appreciated it and I've hardly been on this board since.

Back in the good ole days this community stepped up to the plate in times of need for one of our community. Back then it was usually Todd himself at the front of the pack or involved in some way. I remember one time we raised over $60K for one cause alone. I was hoping for that kind of response, but was not expecting it with the way the economy was at the time and our industry as a whole. If I got even half of that I would have been happy and I would have been able to give his children a little something. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way.

I received a total of about $3,400 in donations through the donation site from you all and with what the girls tried to do. One of Todd's girls was helping out at the office at the time and I showed her every donation and every bank statement for this project. So, the donation site didn't work out very well and there was not any money really to give to the children. Yes, I used the $3,400 and put it toward the expenses of Todd's funeral. I put out $12K and received $3K or so in donations. You do that math. Yes, I'm still making payments one year later on those expenses.

Now, this doesn't even include the month's of house payments I covered until I was able to clean Todd's stuff out of his house. There's more expenses I covered. AND...when I did clean out the house Todd's EX-Wife Mary and his kids came over and took what they wanted of their dads stuff. I took nothing other than one keepsake I had given Todd on one of his birthdays. The rest of it went to his family....not me. Mary, the EX, took most of everything (typical of her...she bled Todd dry every chance she could for 18 years even as an EX-Wife)....all the flat screen tv's, computers, laptops etc all went to the family and when they were done I had Volunteers of America come through to take what they wanted that could help others and then the rest went to the dump.....IN THAT ORDER.

So yeah....I'm the big bad guy in all of this that has done nothing for this family. Within a week Mary had hocked anything of value for drug money and yet she wants to make comments on the donation site Facebook page of what a shit I've been? That I've not given a dime to the family of any of the donations? Well, there wasn't much in the way of donations, the family got all of Todd's personal possessions and I'm the one that gave the family a nice funeral and burial of their dad.

Oh....and by the way....Todd did ask me that if anything happened to him that I had to make sure that his youngest daughter was taken care of and to do what I could for his girls. Well, his youngest daughter is living with me....we are now foster parents to her because her mother Mary is a drug addict that can't get her shit together to get her own daughter back. Won't even engage CPS to the point to even getting her visitation with her daughter back. You don't have to do a lot to at least be able to have visitation of your kid. So, what does that say about her?

I don't like airing "dirty laundry" so to say about anyone. It's no one's business to know about drug addiction problems or CPS taking your kid and being a foster parent etc etc. I am a totally easy going guy about most everything. I was never at the forefront of our company....that was always Todd. You all have nothing but nice things to say about Todd and the kind of man he was. Do you think Todd would have stuck around me for 18 years as a friend and business partner if I wasn't at least close to the same kind of person? Really? Some of you actually believing the shit being said on here about this is even remotely true? There are a few old school peeps on here that do know me and know the kind of person that I am.

I am totally secure in myself that I have done right by Todd's family. I've gone way above and beyond what some people would have done. I can wake up every morning and still look at myself in the mirror. You all can believe what you want. I've said my piece and will not get caught up in this family drama anymore. It's just this kind of drama that helped put Todd in the grave anyway. I'm not going down that road.

Sarah really? I didn't start this. Todd's family, or I should say Todd's bitch of an ex-wife, started this. I am only here to defend myself. I've made my reply and that's the truth. Fuck this shit man. You all just jump on the bandwagon don't you? Don't try and get the facts first. Just shit on a guy. You of all people could have come to me directly, personally to ask about this shit and these accusations. My email address has been the same for 18 damn years. Oh...I could totally get into this and start spewing the real truth about Todd's Ex Mary. But I won't.....I'm not gonna do it. Todd never said try to take care of Mary and kids. He said try and take care of my kids. Mary was never going to get any donation money even if there was some. Anything that might have been left over past my initial expenses would have gone to Todd's kids and them alone....not Mary. Unfortunately, we never raised that much money in donations in the first place and I believe I told you that Sarah because you did help a lot at that time. WTF with the drama???

This is what I was talking about when I say 'if' and all about the GFY chaos machine. This is why I was floored. THIS is why I said my heart broke at the notion. Rick/Fletch has always been as kind to me as Todd.

The first anniversary of a death of a partner, a best friend, etc is the hardest. It is not shocking that a ton of emotions are floating around. I would love greatly to return to my impressions of both Todd and Fletch which are many years in the making because, frankly, I care about both men.


Todd would hate this.

Fletch, I was referring to my concerns over the response to the drama at all rather than the details. My jaw hit the ground yesterday. I couldn't fathom this taking place but have been around long enough to never know what could really have gone down. Hence, all the 'ifs' and the concern I was expressing in this post was over people running with things and going to the extent that GFY does and rope in his family and then also to transfer any drama to the toy drive.

I care about you. I looked for you on ICQ, right away. I know what you say about the amounts earned to be true. I am both glad to have heard of you and sad about the drama being brewed around his memory.

Sarah I apologize to you. I don't mean to go off on you personally. Yes, the GFY machine as you say. And YES....Todd would hate this. It's been almost a year now and I STILL haven't even grieved my friends death. This whole year dealing with the family, the business and taking care of his youngest 10 year old (she just turned 11 now). I could write a damn novel of what myself and my wife have been going through with her and what we have been trying to do to help her. Group counseling, individual counseling, school, before school tutoring, after school tutoring....trying to get her caught up and up to speed for her age. Todd could only do so much by himself as a single dad on top of dealing with his own health issues the last years of his life. I hate to say it, but Todd's family is very dysfunctional and it hasn't gotten much better this last year. Mary is a master manipulator and plays the poor pitiful me party well. It's always been about herself. She's very selfish...always has been. Todd always gave into her and her wants. I will not do that. Her life is the way it is because she did it to herself. I'm taking care of Todd and Mary's youngest and I've tried to do what I can for the older ones, but they're adults now....all of them. They have to be responsible for themselves at some point. My main and only concern right now is for Todd's youngest and I am taking good care of her. That's about all I can say.

Go to your email.

Fletch, worry not about crickets.

Extremely sad :(

Wow thats just to mutch :(

Fletch ,

We know you are telling the truth.

The giveaway was "ex-wife" in a post in another thread answering mutt. ;-))

All the best to you mate.

A sad story for all :Oh crap

My apologies to Fletch for my post in the other thread, like Sarah I also included the word "IF" the story was true - not knowing Todd's ex-wife I assumed she was telling something close to the truth.
