Just Out Here Ballin’

$2800 for 4 mid-level seats. This should be a slam dunk for someone with so many connections in the industry — especially someone who personally knows her and has flown on her private jet.

Requesting tickets for me is a "slam dunk" (see below). But in that case, the artist(s) also expects me to be there with them and socialize. Requesting tickets to give to random people could be a "slam dunk" if I acted like they were just for me, but that would lead to awkwardness when I:

1) ask them to leave the tickets under a name other than my own
2) avoid their texts asking where I am/why I'm not coming back to say "hi"

So if I am at the concert, then sure, I can get the tickets. But if I am not there, it looks like I am asking for tickets for people other than me and/or trying to sell the tickets.

Below are screenshots from a Facebook messenger conversation that I just had with a friend of a friend whom I met at that mutual friend's house. He is a District Court judge in Texas. Years ago, while I lived in Florida, I met with Duran Duran: specifically Simon and Roger. They wanted to gauge my interest in doing remixes of some of their previous hits. Fast forward to being at that mutual friend's house in Texas, and a Duran Duran song was being played. The mutual friend told the judge that I was friendly with one of Simon's daughters, which opened up the conversation about this guy being a huge Duran Duran fan, how they were coming to town soon, etc. He asked if there was any way, and after telling him that I wasn't aware of the show, I told him that if I would be in town, I'd get him an artist ticket since I'd be at the show.

He met me there, but I didn't take him back to meet the band (I have done that with countless other friends/girlfriends, but not somebody I don't know that well). But now he messages me about any band, even if I am not going to the show, which is what I had to explain to him today:


 
It’s bizarre that you continue to claim you are far more successful than me when you have no idea what I even do.

Do I still have my insurance company? You have no idea.

Did my childless uncle die and leave me $50M? You have no idea.

But here you are, speaking with authority about a subject for which you have literally no information. All to prove to Internet strangers that you’re successful.

This is awesome! You are too god damn stupid and obsessed to realize that what you just said is EXACTLY what you have obsessively done to me for three years. Doh!

Remember the "you just have to have a boss!" whining even though I was (and still am) the co-founder of that company, so I didn't have a boss? Now, eventually, we hired a CEO to run it, so I did have a boss in my employed status, but considering I was on the board and we made the decision on the CEO's employment, it really wasn't a normal boss/employee type of situation like you insisted that I "just had to have a boss."

The difference between what you're doing to me and the assumptions I make about you: I know your primary residence. I know my primary residence is worth two times as much. I know your rental slums. I know that some of my other properties are rented, but also that I have another that isn't. I know that for a long time, you have wanted to move out of WV, but for a long time, you haven't. Why? Because your financial means is tied to WV, because WV is one of the cheapest states to live in the country, and if you were at my level, you would have been gone years ago. When California is seeing an historical switch of people moving out of it due to the cost of living, I move in. People don't tend to do that, especially to Orange County or the Bay Area, unless they have significant means to do it. Again, there's a reason why you've been stuck spending most of your time in WV.

I know that somebody at my level of financial success wouldn't have an employed wife, especially if it's an income around $140k, and especially living in WV.

And this is the ultimate fun: you tried arguing that what I claim can't be real, because the easiest and most used way to show wealth is with vehicles. I mocked that, and you've recently tried to hide from that statement. The ultimate and true identifier of wealth is with property/land. And your property/land with your primary residence is simply not reflective of somebody who is anywhere near my level.

Stop being ashamed of being middle-class. Middle-class in WV provides a solid lifestyle for certain people. Stop chasing those who are superior to you in success. It's a bad look and will make you be ugly.
 
Even if I hit the lottery, I wouldn't want a huge house.
Growing up, I would frequently visit a favorite aunt who owned a large home. It had had a number of bedrooms, a large kitchen and dining room, and even a walk in pantry, but my favorite room was a small den at the rear of the house
The den was only large enough for an overstuffed chair, a loveseat, and a small bookcase. At one end of the room was one of those open flame glazed ceramic gas fireplaces that were once common in older homes. The room was cozy and the perfect place to read a book on a snowy evening.
I designed my home based on that den. Small, cozy and comfortable. Everything a house needs in compact surroundings.

No not really. You were on point. He admitted to being a tax cheat and helping other tax cheats.
I didn't admit to being a tax cheat. How others handle their taxes is up to them/their CPA. Ask the Chrisleys and their CPA how that worked out for them this week.

Are you speaking to yourself right now or what? I can leave you to your own thoughts but there’s no need to post them on here.
Oh, another who really thinks I am lying. Now, remember, Tier Three thinks you guys are only doing this to bait me into posting more proof and getting me to show my worth to "strangers." But you're not a stranger, and unlike Middle-Class Murox, I don't think you are an ethically bankrupt selfish piece of shit. So you and your family have an open invite to come visit - I have extra bedrooms/bathrooms, including on different floors, so you'll have privacy. I am very close to world-class beaches as well as very close to a national forest.

My community has 5-7 pools, all of them resort style and a few hybrid (indoor/outdoor) gyms. It's a child's paradise with the amenities we have and the location. My neighborhood includes a current big league baseball player, at least one former big league baseball player (with a recognizable name), a Hall of Fame MLB player, a star in five seasons of The Wire, at least two of the Real Housewives of OC cast members, pre-teen girls who are insta-famous with over 1 million followers, and I'm sure more, but I'm not there very often and am pretty anti-social there since I don't have children like just about everything there does.

Disneyland is a quick drive, and since you love Disney, you have no excuse.

So you and the wife can get a free vacation, the kids can have a field day, and I'll even buy them $1000 electric bikes to have here so they can fit in with the other kids who live here (I have 5-7 regular bikes but they aren't electric).

Then, after, you can come back and say "ok, he's not lying. He does have at least one house at least twice as much as mine." Then, after, we can go visit the rental house that I have here so you can ask "why don't you live in this one, it's even nicer than your other in OC."
 
I'm on record in the camp of rifle's wealth is real. Not my type of lifestyle, etc, but I think it's real.

Oh, another who really thinks I am lying.

I think you embellish a lot to make things appear as good as they can appear.

Like nearly every argument, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle, between your claims of wealth, fame and success and murox’s claims of you being a total fraud.

You clearly are trying to give rifle arthritis as an end result of typing these responses.

You clearly see the big picture and are playing the long game.

I don’t see how anyone can read his posts, the misdirection, the insecurity, the obsession with designer goods, the 1000 word posts and not see that he’s a complete fraud.

All of this could be put to bed with a single picture, but here we are — years later —waiting for any real proof that he is who he claims to be.

If he was actually rich and famous he wouldn’t need the acknowledgment and validation from strangers. He’d occasionally post candid photos of himself with the celebrities he worships, aboard their private jets, and we would all be like “ah thats cool, good for him.”

Instead he’s a psychopath.

His response to Doc Hungus above is a microcosm of everything you've said about him. The answer is "No. I can't get Taylor Swift tickets." He won't just admit that he can't. Instead, we get a five-page diatribe about why he can't get them in some weird attempt to save face. The reality is he clearly doesn't know TS to the extent he tries to claim and he can't get tickets from her, her producer, manager, or anyone associated with her. Dude, nobody cares that you don't know TS besides you.

An example of his nonsense is how years ago he claimed to have an AmEx Centurion card. But in the video he where he filmed his boss’s jewelry, he carefully placed his wallet to show his Amex Platinum card to be visible to viewers.

Why would he downgrade when he claims to be much wealthier now than then, especially after the $10k initiation fee has already been paid? For someone who is image-obsessed, having that card carries much more clout than a designer shirt or shoes.

Clown.

Actually, if they are providing you services, and you’re paying them “under the table”, you are required by the IRS and possibly your state tax authority to provide the 1099. Yes. You would be actively cheating on taxes.

My guess is your income in this endeavor is pretty small and able to fly under the radar inconspicuously. Otherwise not reporting large amounts of $$ you’ve paid in royalties or other services, doesn’t make a lot of sense from a business expense standpoint.

This isn’t the first time you’ve bragged about not reporting income around here. Always interesting reading.

You failed miserably at this attempt the last time you attempted. I posted about a dozen candid pictures - at a steakhouse in Beverly Hills, paparazzi footage of me with an artist, in music studios, eating dinner, in dressing rooms, on tour buses, at night clubs, in their condos, at baseball games, at a hotel, at the White House, in Maui after spending a few days working with them, at television shows, in their house . . . you recycle these attempts and look more obsessed and foolish each time. Then, you beg to see it again, only to then try using it in an argument a year later.

Common sense should tell you this: some of these things, I post on Facebook. I've had quite a few long term relationships. Don't you think these girls would be like "he's a fraud, he doesn't know these people. He just sells weed to them/buys meet-and-greet passes/whatever other bogus claim you've made" and run?

I mean, you know some of the girls I've dated for long periods. Would they stay with that? Debby Ryan . . . a big name in her own . . . I have provocative pictures of her that she sent me wearing the ring I gave her (it used to be my ring, and I have pictures wearing it, and then pictures of her wearing it and posting about it on Instagram). She and I (and one of the Fifth Harmony girls) had the exact same tattoo on the inside of our wrist (they have both covered it up with a bigger tattoo, but you can see the originals on Google). Would she put up with dating a guy that is what you claim, moron?

It eats you up. And I understand why. For the past 20 years, you have tried desperately to be like me . . . everything from starting to work out, to who you date/hook up with, to suddenly having the desire to go to Europe, to staying at the same resorts as me . . . all things after I did them and after you'd ask specifically about them. And instead of being able to do what I did, you had to play second-fiddle the last 20 years and continue to do so.

I think you embellish a lot to make things appear as good as they can appear.

There is no embellishment. Which part(s) do you think is embellished? In reality, I actually downplay much of it. There are people who will know me for a substantial amount of time, then suddenly when with me, something will happen where they are exposed to it and be shocked and have no idea.

His response to Doc Hungus above is a microcosm of everything you've said about him. The answer is "No. I can't get Taylor Swift tickets."

But that's not true. I can 100% get them for free from her. And I will. And Nikki Glaser will be coming with me, because she is a huge Taylor fan and only met her one time when she was just starting her career. And saying that I don't know her manager? I have Taylor's cell, her manager's cell and email, her assistant's cell and email, her security (it's a woman!) cell, and her last tour manager's cell (I don't know if it is the same TM this year). These are all things that are not only easy to post proof of (email and text correspondence) but also that I already have . . . and for obvious reasons, I will block out the email but still show the domain address which shows "damn, clearly multiple people with the taylorswift.com domain email address are emailing and texting/calling him.

And then what does that turn into? You guys saying that I am a boaster, that I sell them weed, etc.

What I won't do is randomly ask for tickets for other people. It's not professional, it's rude, and it is using people. Why does Taylor cater to me? Is it because I'm in her inner circle or a best friend? No. It's because I am a Grammy voter, and she is a brilliant business woman and politician who knows how to get what she wants from people. She is a legit kind-hearted person who likes making people happy, but she is also wise beyond her years. And she knows how to take advantage of that.

This is where you are too stupid with your obsession. Years ago, I posted that I no longer had the Centurion. I told you what I was doing with it - hitting the qualifying annual spend by advancing payroll with it. I also posted, many years, ago, that I didn't have it anymore. When I showed my card, you claimed that I bought it off of ebay or something.

The thing is, I know that you remember this. You're just eaten alive with having to face reality, Middle-Class Murox.

Actually, if they are providing you services, and you’re paying them “under the table”, you are required by the IRS and possibly your state tax authority to provide the 1099. Yes. You would be actively cheating on taxes.
How the hell are they providing me services? I am the producer on the record. I pay them a percentage of my royalties and keep the majority to cover my tax burden and make a profit. I am not cheating on taxes. How they report income they receive is on them, not me.
 
I am the producer on the record. I pay them a percentage of my royalties
The better question is why in the hell would you do that and not report it as a legitimate expense to your business income??

Yes. Paying “royalties” would require you filing a 1099-misc and most accountants would tell you to send the payee one.

FTR I’m not really asking for tickets. Just keeping the entertainment going. I obviously don’t know rifle IRL and even if he is “real” you don’t get tickets for some stranger on the internet.
 
And I bet it isn't a mansion. Even if I hit the lottery, I wouldn't want a huge house. What a pain in the butt that would be. A 10 bay garage, sure. Attached to a 2k sq ft house lol.
I am not a big fan of making fun of another man's house. People work hard for it and it typically is their biggest investment and where they raise a family the best they can.

Most of us here are modest upbringing and probably one generation away from being poor.

I have lived in apartments, mobile homes, and houses. I had well to do friends growing up and friends from modest means or harder times.

Also never judge a book by its cover. I've know some wealthy people who live very modestly .

Making fun of man's home is not cool in my book. My old man was raised in house with a dirt floor. I consider myself lucky they worked hard to make it better for me.

Yes. Paying “royalties” would require you filing a 1099-misc and most accountants would tell you to send the payee one.
You answered your question with the second statement. What is the point for the ghost producer/writer if they are having a tax burden? It ruins the whole point. They'd not only pay a 20% fee to a manager plus splitting points with other creatives, but they'd then have another 30-40% of taxes on top of that. They'd make pennies on the dollar when all is said and done.

By being the ghost, they don't lose 20% to their manager. They don't have to pay 30% - 40% in taxes. It's a huge incentive for them to lose only a fraction of that.

Really???

The amounts paid to their managers would be a business deduction. That would leave 80% of their income as taxable under your sophomoric example. The 30% to 40% would be assessed against that, reducing your hyperbolic numbers to effective rates of 24% to 32%. Hardly pennies on a dollar... C'mon man!

Birthinghips, let me give you an example of how it possible to prove something beyond doubt:

You have referenced my “$300k home” no fewer than 20 times in the past three days. You claim to have knowledge of the Huntington housing market beyond an expert in that field that has already corrected you.

You and I will send big country $10,000 each to be placed in escrow (I will cover any costs). I will pay the $2000 or so to have my house appraised. If the value of the house is below $400,000 (I’m giving you a $100k cushion) bc will send you $20,000. If it’s above $400,000, he will send me $20,000.

This is how you settle ambiguity. Don’t respond to this with a 20,000 character word salad. Deal or no deal?
 
I am not a big fan of making fun of another man's house. People work hard for it and it typically is their biggest investment and where they raise a family the best they can.

Most of us here are modest upbringing and probably one generation away from being poor.

I have lived in apartments, mobile homes, and houses. I had well to do friends growing up and friends from modest means or harder times.

Also never judge a book by its cover. I've know some wealthy people who live very modestly .

Making fun of man's home is not cool in my book. My old man was raised in house with a dirt floor. I consider myself lucky they worked hard to make it better for me.
I haven't seen anybody on here doing that. Hell, I have previously talked about how nice BC's house it. Murox's is, too. He has one of the nicest $300k houses I've seen. I just like to rub his face in it, because he really think I am lying, so it makes it even more entertaining knowing that it will eventually hit him in the face harder than a post-nuptial agreement does.
 
Birthinghips, let me give you an example of how it possible to prove something beyond doubt:

You have referenced my “$300k home” no fewer than 20 times in the past three days. You claim to have knowledge of the Huntington housing market beyond an expert in that field that has already corrected you.

You and I will send big country $10,000 each to be placed in escrow (I will cover any costs). I will pay the $2000 or so to have my house appraised. If the value of the house is below $400,000 (I’m giving you a $100k cushion) bc will send you $20,000. If it’s above $400,000, he will send me $20,000.

Whoa! You have enough confidence that your house will appraise at $400k, moneybags?! Impressive. My primary residence - not even the one that is worth the most that I own - is worth more than twice that. Middle-Class Murox is getting madder! Your wife makes around $140k, right? Stop riding her coattails.


I will take that deal right. In fact, I will double the wager if you can afford it. But, it has to be after you accept and the loser pays out on my deal that you ran from earlier:

 
Really???

The amounts paid to their managers would be a business deduction. That would leave 80% of their income as taxable under your sophomoric example. The 30% to 40% would be assessed against that, reducing your hyperbolic numbers to effective rates of 24% to 32%. Hardly pennies on a dollar... C'mon man!
"Pennies on the dollar: is subjective. Just ask Murox. You can't make an expert opinion on what that phrase entails for different people. Is making $.09/dollar "pennies on the dollar"? What about $.36? What about $.60. Stop being a "toolbag" and trying to determine what that threshold is for everyone like you're some kind of pennies on the dollar expert. Murox throws a tantrum when you do that.

You seem to understand the point. Not paying the management fee and allowing me to get the majority of the points, while they avoid the tax burden, is a substantial savings for them.
 
The man said I started to lift weights and go on vacations because I wanted to be like him. Lmao

Nope. That's not what I said.

Murox meets me. Murox sees my life with girls and how I work out. Murox spends the next number of months asking me a million questions about lifting. Murox suddenly finds the gym for the first time in his 25 years.

I go to numerous Caribbean vacations and buys an investment property in Miami with two partners. Murox starts asking where I stay on those vacations. Murox stays at the same exact resorts and comes back for the next X number of years telling everybody it's the greatest resort in the world (I told you I would give you two better resorts if you don't try to ask the front desk what room I stayed in).

I go to Europe multiple times. Murox asks where. Murox suddenly starts going to Europe.

Murox suddenly starts going to Miami.

I buy properties as rentals. Murox starts buying properties for rentals.

Middle-Class Murox is my shadow.

Hahaha. There’s that classic misdirection everyone on earth saw coming!

Try not to change the subject. Do you accept the offer or not?
