A definite conflict of interest.

Thanks for the update.

Possibly one of the most important and misunderstood stories in our industry right now, and we get comments like this.

Perhaps he should forward us his selections for the top news stories each week, and we can take those into consideration.

J. Todd:

Thank you for shining a spotlight on this mess. How people can defend, ignore or make excuses for this kind of unethical behavior and blatant conflict of interest is beyond me. Please continue your investigation into these very important issues. I, for one, applaud your efforts.

By the looks of things it seems like I should start preparing that list.

Most of the industry knows that this is a personal vendetta between you and CAP.

Just remember that when you point a finger at somebody there are three fingers pointing back at you.

Personal issues aside, many of us are seeing a clear conflict of interest and lack of disclosure by cap where cardspike is concerned.

No one is insulting your personal intelligence or ethics for believeing the orignal story of 'ownership' so please don't do it to us.

Then please do. After all, you've already added so many facts to this debate I'm certain you can clear everything up for the industry in short order. Tell us all the facts you have tucked away and get us back on track, please.

That's quite possibly the most ignorant statement of this entire matter. There are absolutely no "vendettas" on my side toward CAP, and as far as Lou and Warren go this is just standard business proceedures, not a vendetta. You're simply repeating "hot button" words you've heard used on 'other' boards to distract people from the truth. Nice try.

Lou has banned countless people at CAP and PAP who only question them or disrupted the flow of the gravy train. They extort rediculous sums of cash from programs. They are the most litigious people in the industry. And they bully, threaten, and have ripped off almost every "idea" they currently promote as their own.

You're interested in the truth? Try asking yourself why so many people in all walks of this industry keep saying the same negative things about how Lou conducts business and treats people. Are they all wrong? Lemme guess, they all have a some misplaced personal "vendetta" against poor Lou and Warren who have never done a thing to bring this on themselves and are just the innocent victims over and over again. Wake up.

How many professional deals have you had with these guys involving money behind closed doors?

How would you have any first-hand knowledge of what you're now trying to debate, as if you are privy to something all the rest of us missed?

You really think this is all about people "out to get" Lou and Warren after we've proven that Warren deliberatly mislead us with his statements?

You think it's all made-up facts when you see the documentation and then Warren admits they have a profit interest in this company?

Do you think we're fabricating the fact that this is a complete violation of trust and a conflict of interest, too?


You see all the facts and you still drink the cool-aid.

You can point whatever you want at me. I expect you to. Why? Because that's what the guilty do to defend themselves, and what Lou and Warren have done since we starting investigating Cardspike: Go on the attack to distract everyone from the facts, then play the victim.

Lou tried this when he went tottaly nutts over his public address being shown publicly... that didn't work.

Warren tried this same tactic when he called us Nazis and insulted an entire race... that didn't work.

Now it's your turn to try by chalking up all the non-debateable facts we have shown you to a personal "vendetta"... that won't work either.

Where were you and your white horse when Lou and Warren were caught making false statements, calling names, labelling us Nazis, and insulting a race of people? Where were your "vendetta" comments in our defense? Somehow, I suspect you can twist things to hold us responsible for all of their inexcusable behavior as well.

We need a little less "Pinkey" and a little more "Brain".

Robin, you know I love you, but there is so much you don't know and we can't say just yet. I appreciate your delicate position and i hope you understand ours.

To be fair, the orginal story about CAP possibly owning Cardspike was reported by Gambling 911. The APCW simply investigated and asked questions about that serious accusation.

Lou and Warren never said a word about the story until we pushed, then they flat denied all connections until we showed a connection.

Lou and Warren eventually admitted that a connection existed, but claimed they had no profit interest in Cardspike until we showed they did.

Are you noticing a pattern here? If we didin't follow the trail on this, you would know nothing about how CAP is tied into Cardspike... would that be better for everyone?

Are you for open, honest, and transparant business practices in this industry? Do you believe Warren and Lou have been open, honest, and transparant about this issue?


Let's have a beer in London.

I have watched J.Todd for along time and appreciate all his videos and his inside scoop. As a small affiliate I really dont understand how or why all this matters. Who cares who works where with whom ect. Unless its causing commissions to get reduced that who gives a shit. Watching all this drama for the past year or so is so crazy. If you are at CAP and GPWA like I am then fine. If you like one better than the other fine. If you dont like either fine. Just keep your thoughts to yourself and we will all be fine. Some of you are letting things get to you instead of enjoying things. If all you do each day is get pissed off because of various concerns in the industry than this is not the job for you.
