It's finally time to put Danny Dupcak out of business auction FUNDRAISER 2 2

[Mr. Zipper]

Part of the issue is this. If I apologize publicly they will never apologize for what they did to me.

 

Who cares? Move on.

 

I haven't followed the drama and really don't know who said what to who and when.

 

But what I have learned is that life is not fair. You suck it up and move on.

 

If you ever want to move forward here, make your amends, draw a line in the sand and MOVE ON.

The problem is that even with this modification I still don't get the expression!

 

Probably because it's so lame and over-used: Me apologizing = Hell freezing over.

 

Now that I understand. (thumbs u

On top of this they have pulled this garbage on other people. Its just not me and everytime I see them just forgive and forget but then later on they pull this garbage on someone else. Its the same group of indiviuals that keep doing this to people and keep getting away with it.

 

So what? At least you can sleep at night knowing you were the bigger person. At least that's how I look at it. And maybe one day they will apologize. Maybe one day they'll stop taking shots at you. You can't decide to not do the right thing just b/c you think the other guy won't follow suit. That's the other guy's problem. Let it be their problem.

 

Control what you can control. Take control of your own image. Don't worry so much about what others say.

great advice. given and ignored a hundred times already

[whisp]

 

That is not true. I admitted to what I did was wrong but I stated why I did it along time ago, I have given people apologies in pm, but there is a select few that put me on ignore and are demanding a public apology and just wont let it go. I have already extended my hand to talk in pm and sort this out in which THEY won't and still stay behind ignore. These individuals still doing this where the ones bullying me in the first place. They are in no position to demand anything from me.

 

 

This is what my daughters do. They apologize for whacking the other one of the head with something and say "but I only hit her b/c she hit me". I have to explain to them that that's not an apology.

 

As for the select few who have you on ignore. F-em. No offense to those folks but what do you want them to do? If they're going to continue to bring it up and bad mouth you, your best action is to either ignore it or politely ask them to stop. You don't have to gear up for battle every time your name is mentioned.

 

It's like my wife does to me when I am being an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. She just walks away. It's kind of hard to argue with somebody who just ignores you. So ignore it and move forward towards something better.

 

There is truth in that and you make a valid point. But I want to point out the explanation was given because alot of the proof of what they where doing where in deleted pms and deleted threads and they where making me out to be the bad guy and making it sound like it was one sided when it was not. Only one of them has admitted openly that yes there was two sides of this. Sadly he has me on ignore so I cant apologize to him since he wants a public apology.

 

As far as joeypost goes we just let each other be and actually from some of my latest pms with him have actually earned more respect for him.

 

As for watson he is an instagator and I am sick of his garbage on these boards and continued issues he causes with me and others on these boards. Hasn't anyone noticed that he is in the middle of almost every single incident on these boards with other members.

 

Then there is all thos sideline cheerleaders like dixex that really need to move on

[Ares]

Whisp = Danny?

[hockey&comicsguy]

Hey, I apologize to everyone for butting in this thread - something about the scenario rubbed me the wrong way, but I still shouldn't have aired in such a public manner. Who knows, something good might come of this - crazier things have happened.

 

apologetic wuss.

 

United Way Volunteer.

 

If it makes you feel any better I plan on giving a blind person wrong directions and kicking somebody's dog later.

[whisp]

Whisp = Danny?

 

no

 

I have witnesess to who I am on these boards.

[whisp]

to mark zaid,

 

sorry for the shot at you

 

I know it is not a good excuse and was just getting frustrated

.....watson and joeypost are just dirty, scumbag pressers anyway. Or at least somebody told me that.

 

And dicex, all he's good for is having great avatars. Other than that he's just an empty vessel, sand pounder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ps: Don't take these boards too seriously. In the few years I've been here about the only things I have learned are that geeks dig hot chicks and we all spend too much time goofing off on message boards instead of doing actual work.

[comicdonna]

One of many, many great lines from that movie. This and Idiocracy. Two of the downright dumbest movies ever. So dumb they are actually brilliant.

I doubt I have to explain to many of you who Danny Dupcak is and what he represents to our hobby (although for those who do not know, I have provided background information below revealing his lengthy history of proven and suspected fraudulent activity).

 

Please excuse the cross-postings of this thread but given the importance of the topic and the interest this community likely will have we need to reach as many collectors/dealers as possible.

 

I had offered for several years to represent anyone who had been defrauded by Mr. Dupcak but his modus operandi was always to reimburse the victim after a period of time thereby negating the likelihood of either civil or criminal penalties. I am now pleased, however, to announce that we are about to embark about a significant legal effort to finally put Mr. Dupcak out of the comic book business and we need the help of our fellow forumites!

 

How can you help?

 

 

(1) You can donate any funds that you can spare; and/or

 

(2) You can donate comic books that will be used to raise funds.

 

Beginning this Sunday, January 10, 2010 and lasting until Wednesday, January 13, 2010, we will be hosting an auction to raise funds to help further the legal effort, both civil and criminal, to bring Mr. Dupcak to justice and require him to properly support his child.

 

Some of you may recall that earlier last year Mr. Dupcak's former girlfriend, Jan57, and mother of his child started a thread concerning her ongoing legal efforts with respect to child support. She is seeking an upward modification and he is seeking a downward modification. I had indicated that I, as well as another board member, was trying to assist her behind the scenes, particularly to expose Mr. Dupcak's comic book dealings on e-bay and elsewhere.

 

To date, we were successful in obtaining through discovery various e-bay and paypal records that appear to indicate that upwards of a million dollars in sales have been received over the years by individuals we believe are alias for Mr. Dupcak. The paper trail is quite convincing.

 

Up to this point, however, Jan was being represented by an attorney for New York City's Corporation Counsel whose resources were severely limited. In order to retain the free legal assistance she was not permitted to have outside private counsel such as myself formally represent her. Jan is now at a critical stage of her court proceedings, which will include the opportunity to question Mr. Dupcak himself under oath, and the pressure needs to be increased. Therefore, I have now committed myself to formally enter her Family Court proceedings and substitute for her current counsel. While I may be an aggressive litigator who routinely challenges the CIA and military, represents national security Whistleblowers and sues terrorist governments, I candidly don't have the slightest clue about how NY Family Court works. Therefore, I have arranged for a very experienced NY attorney who specializes in child support cases to co-represent Jan and she will provide the necessary guidance and expertise that will allow us to pursue Mr. Dupcak with the type of vigor and aggressiveness that this case deserves.

 

Due to my commitment to this issue I am handling Jan's case pro bono (for free). I have already expended thousands of dollars of my time and I am willing to devote what time is necessary but the same can not understandably be said for my expert co-counsel who has no connections to this great hobby. Jan does not have any funds that can be spared to bring Mr. Dupcak's escapades to light and force him to support his child at a level that properly reflects the significant amount of money he actually earns selling comics, oftentimes under suspected fraudulent circumstances. We also need funds to pay for deposition and trial transcripts, and we need this money ASAP.

 

Every dollar or comic that can be donated will significantly help this effort. The members of this board have demonstrated their generosity numerous times when the circumstances were purely personal. Now is an opportunity to help strike a blow against someone who has adversely affected the hobby that we love. His continuing ability to maintain his subterfuge permeates a stain in our community and hurts us all.

 

If you are willing to donate funds of any amount, you can do so via paypal to me at ZaidMS@aol.com (and please specify the donation is for the Dupcak legal effort). (thumbs u

 

If you are willing to donate comics for auction, here are various steps you can take:

 

(1) Post a scan of the book(s), an assessed grade if raw, and estimated value right here in this thread, and indicate whether you are willing to also assume the shipping costs to the buyer or desire the buyer to do so, or

 

(2) If you wish to remain anonymous, PM or e-mail me (EsquireComics@aol.com) a scan of the image, an assessed grade if raw, and estimated value and indicate whether you are willing to also assume the shipping costs to the buyer or desire the buyer to do so. I will arrange for the book(s) to be placed in the auction.

 

It would be really appreciated if the minimum estimated dollar value of the book(s) would be $50.00 or more, but any donation will be graciously accepted. The starting bid for each lot will be a mere 20% of the estimated value (i.e., a $50 book will have an opening bid of $10).

 

The auction thread will be found in the Virtual Comic Con Hall. When the auction goes live, I will post a link in this thread as well.

 

If you have any questions, you may contact me directly via PM or e-mail at EsquireComics@aol.com.
