Yes Brian is a jerk for ripping people off with his fake gear. You can’t have a scammer unless you have suckers to buy it in the first place so some blame has to go on the customers themselves. But to me the real scumbag here is Anthony Conners/Roberts. He didn’t open up his mouth about this when he was working for Brian, just waits until he gets fired to badmouth him. If he had any real character he never would have taken the job that endorsed these products to begin with. Fine when you get a paycheck, dirty con artist when you are fired, please. [/quote]
Good point Scott. Here’s the back and forth between myself and rainjack over on the t cell just to add some more information for everyone.
Wow, it’s hard to believe I had thoughts of trying to make things good between us.
[quote]Brian fired hooker from steroid.com a month or so ago. He had made hooker “Senior Editor” over there, and had made several internet video interviews. But, in true Anthony Roberts form, he wore out is welcome really fast.
I can’t find it, but there is a post, or an ad, out there where hooker is pimping the shit he has “exposed”. His hands are as dirty as Brian’s.
The thing about Brian Clapp’s products is that he makes it fairly clear that he is not selling steroids once you look at the products. I don’t think he’s much different than most of the supp companies out there promising gains, and results that are just not very realistic.[/quote]
You are correct, and I am not arguing this. I don’t want people to get the idea that I’m protecting AR. I read this and thought I would share the info here for those that don’t already know. It’s not about saying someone (AR, Clapp, whoever) is a scumbag for doing this, but it’s about sharing what goes on in the back-alleys of the supplement world. As much as you may think, not every post has to be personally or emotionally driven. Again, this is just for informational purposes. When I say “scam” and “ripoff” I am trying not to attach subjective qualifiers so much as I am just describing exactly what this is.
[quote]The list has been up for several days now, and could land hooker in the middle of a law suit.
But on a personal note - how in the fuck can you be so hypocritical, ITZ? You were blasting me for reading Hooker’s blog, now you come in here parroting exactly what he says without even knowing what the fuck is going on.
You are one pathetic piece of shit.[/quote]
[b]I am not hypocritical. I asked why you read AR’s blog when you denounced the originality of his information and the quality of his character. I have no problem with AR, and yes I do read his blog for informational purposes, as he really does have a good collection of information from time to time. Even if you hate the man, I don’t chastise you for collecting information from his blog, I was just asking why given the above reasons. As far as not knowing what’s going on, you’re right. Perhaps you know more, that is fine. I know what I saw AR post and I decided to share that. It is OK to share what information we do know and have other posters fill in the information gaps. It’s not about having to know the whole story or a complete set of knowledge to post about something; it’s about collaboration. I appreciate you helping to fill in some of the blanks with what’s going on with AR and Clapp.
