No no no, throwing hatchets is the only way to relieve stress. I know that's true because a 40 year old with an illegitimate daughter told me that on the internet.

So you're saying its safe to start gathering...kindling?

This made me smile. "And lo, another comic fan is born"

How a 12 year-old built up this scheme and fake personality still amazes me. This stuff has to be going on in his life around him, and like Keyser Soze he calls it out with the personality he builds. Testicular cancer - estranged daughter coming back to live with him (a story he told me) - former hay baling business owner that found collectibles a better life (a story he told someone else). Stephen King maybe could come close to this kid's storytelling ability! is that true? That's some quality BS right there. I don't care if he's a kid I still want to punch some sense into him Of course you do. You're far angrier than your Shakespearean namesake. All he wanted to do was write poems, go to swinging parties, and get his spoon wet. I'm sure punching 12 year old kids can be therapeutic, but for some reason, soo-ciety frowns upon stuff like that.

Or both posts could have been made by the same very bright, very underage person. The plot thickens!!

Yes You guys gotta hug it out. I know you're just trying to be my favorite, but there's room enough in this heart for the both of you.

has that really happened? NY Daily News One of many Brilliant!! To illustrate how common this level of stupidity is, here's another one I saw on the morning news earlier this week. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/02/06/police-hope-selfies-taken-with-stolen-phone-lead-to-harlem-robbery-suspects/

You would think the monthly stories on the news about people losing their jobs due to postings on Facebook and Twitter would be a red flag to some people. My personal favorites are the individual_without_enough_empathys that steal phones and then take selfies with them, leading to their arrest. Never underestimate the power of stupidity.

Yes, the situation looks more complex than what it seemed. Harvey is right, but it’s not right to minimize the parents' responsibilities, and their use of Facebook… If you and a few others honestly feel that way, where was your outrage when every other scammer caught on these boards was drawn and quartered across the internet? So posting, say, Lex Ledgers Facebook is ok. But it's not in this situation? I think one thing we can all agree on, this is only the 2nd, at best, scandal on these boards perpetrated by a Dad & Son.

You realize that people who are not in our hobby may not see our hobby as anything other than funny books or worthless comics. I don't think the dad took the comic business seriously, more like a father giving his son money to start a lemonade stand or a "little businessmen" of America. I don't think the thought was to commit fraud. In my opinion the father was just happy and proud his son was involved in something hat made him happy. He kid is a Boy Scout and his father is wearing bible camp T-shirts in some photos! I don't think there was any level of sophistication. But you know what, this is just all opinion and speculation of the situation and nothing else just like anyone else's. So tear apart GIJOE all day long if that's what you enjoy. Just stop including info that is not on these Boards. (thumbs u Judging by the snippets Romeo is posting, the dad knew he was taking money out of other peoples pockets through deception. It's a bit different of being proud of your son for being motivated and industrious enough to make some pocket change by shoveling snow or selling lemonade, IMHO.

"Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time" Exactly How are you supposed to learn from your mistakes if there are no consequences? What is supposed to teach you to not do it again? Forget that you know he's a 12 year old kid. Now think about how long the lies and manipulation and fraudulent activity has been going on, and some of you want to say "he's just a kid"... He should absolutely be treated as an adult would. If I were a judge I'd give the kid jail time for fraud activities and then I'd sleep like a baby. You're all misinterpretting "You are still dealing with a 12 yo boy" with "Awww, look at the 12 yo old. Let's forgive him." Nobody said that. That was the thought process that allowed Cap Freak to survive for years here. But don't go overboard with wanting some form of vengeance. Attacking him via Facebook or other means will come across as harrassment of a minor, which could lead to problems none of us wants. That was the point. Speaking only for myself, I have no interest in harassing this kid. I don't even have a Facebook account. It's the dad I'm more interested in. Since he knew what was going on, and encouraged it, I'd like to put a face to the scammer.

"Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time" Exactly How are you supposed to learn from your mistakes if there are no consequences? What is supposed to teach you to not do it again? Your parents? If they even care, apparently this kids dad is proud of his dealings and brags about them on facebook, or so I'm told since no one will put up a link to it. I want a vid of this kid getting the bejesus spanked out of him, and then a pic of him sitting grounded in his empty room with only bare wires sticking out from the walls where his Xbox, TV, and computer used to be. I can't believe the lynch mob here is willing to settle for anything less, 12 or not. Mmm, I know what you're saying.

"Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time" Exactly How are you supposed to learn from your mistakes if there are no consequences? What is supposed to teach you to not do it again? Your parents? Wasn't dear ol' dad part of the scam?

I'd vote to back it. +1 He can beat "cereal-bowl-haircut" Connor as the youngest inductee into the H.O.S. Wasn't CapFreak 15 or around that age? He's in the HOS, no? What's the diff?

No offense to any boardies who are space lizards. My best friend is a space lizard, and he's a swell fella.

My thoughts exactly. This little turd lied to several people in here in order to defraud them out of money. My dad would have beat my for that. There was a 12 year old kid scamming people out of money on Instagram a while back. Difference is, the people scammed were knowingly buying from a 12 year old. He took his act to ebay, too. You can imagine how well that went ... http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=2012walkingdead&ftab=AllFeedback I guess what I'm saying is, kids are .

Did you get the whole point where Chris TACTFULLY thought this out and omitted the Facebook info. This isn't to lynch a 12 year old boy in public. Can someone pm me a link so I can lynch in private? I'd hate to think I bought all this rope and torch oil for nothing. Here is the video. Are you happy now? HAAAARRRVVVEEEYYYYY!!!!!

As do I. The giant caps and the "GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMME" stuff. It kinda makes sense now. How did he get his dad's password for his paypal? I'm pretty sure he didn't have to nick the password.
