I distinctly remember Katana trying to get him to come clean about all the bs and harblowlaw still denied it. If you are able to rub katana the wrong way to the point that he washes his hands of you, then you've got issues. Katana is one of if not the most reasonable/standup poster here.
This. I was suckered into his ruse enough to defend him in the past and have since learned the error of my ways. I will say though that it is my understanding everyone was paid back from that trip. I very nearly lent him a sum in that range and he actually chose to decline as he didn't need it as we had one day left. He definitely has some serious issues with integrity, but I don't think stealing money was a priority of his. He had two distinct opportunities with me and didn't take either.

I'm looking forward to looking that name up and reading his posts!
Also semi related, a while back he posted a picture on FB of 315 lbs on a squat rack saying he was squatting. Seeing his less than impressive physical prowess in person, Katana and I snap commented there is no chance you can squat 315, and if you can in anyway, it will be far from a full rep. Some **** talking ensued, and eventually a bet was placed between Katana and him for $100 IIRC. He later posted the video, and proceeded to show us 3 1/5 rep squats literally making every mistake in the book. Some more **** talking ensued after we told him how bad they were and how Katana clearly won the bet (there was stipulation that the reps had to be full reps..at least to parallel... or Katana won). He proceeded to immediately defriend us both on FB and as I understand it never paid Katana his 100. I texted him some articles on proper squat form and wished him luck. Fun times.
