clearly trolling

What exactly is he going to say? Seriously?

PP if youre going to have threads like this you can't ban the individual being bashed.

He obviously has a problem.

He does not meet any definition of "good" that I'm familiar with.

I don't. I think 2+2ers are pretty *civil and *amusing on the whole, I'd like to think that that translates into fewer arrests.

His own actions are the reason that people are talking about him and the reason that he's banned from 2+2. He is a serial scammer, that when outed on 2+2, hand plenty of chances to defend himself. He continued to scam others the entire time, which is why he was banned and why he was arrested.

If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Mike for making a living out of scamming people, and be mad at yourself and everyone else that's been defending him and downplaying the significance his actions.

I'm sure that he does have a problem, but he obviously wasn't making much of an effort to deal with that. Maybe he will now.

He is not the victim here.
He is not the victim here.
He is not the victim here.
He is not the victim here.
He is not the victim here.
He is not the victim here.
He is not the victim here.

Can he not make a new account?

Anyway, if Mike keeps scamming we'll keep judging. Yes, he has a problem. So do paedophiles. What's the issue?

I still think you're trolling though. Uncanny how disguised it is.. For you..

Incredible entertainment value! Lots of terrible events have created a limitless supply of entertainment. Think of all the literature and movies and everything that has spawned from war, disasters, serial killers even… Borovetz has a lot of upside as his cost to society is minimal. Bonnie and Clyde were awful people and killers but the aftermath brought books/films/new fashion… the millions of hours of entertainment wind up being worth more than the human tragedy. When we're all dead people will still know about Bonnie and Clyde. Borovetz needs to be able to post again to continue this saga.

What a small world. I was actually approached by this guy earlier this week at Charlotte-Douglas as I was returning from vacation in PR. Normally I wouldn't have given him the time of day but since I was relaxed and back from vacation I reciprocated. After his story and asking for $300 I laughed and told him no way and asked if he'd seen Tom Hanks in The Terminal - just sleep here, bro. Seemed like a decent guy and just went on about his business after that. POS.

What I'm curious about is who the hell gives a stranger $200-300? And how do they know it's a scam and he's not using it for an actual hotel room? Either way, screw this scumbag.

Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department Airport Division Detectives first heard about Borovetz’s scam on Dec. 9, when they were notified by an airline’s corporate security that a passenger had reported being defrauded.

Later that day, officers on a routine patrol of the airport were notified of a suspicious person on one of the concourses. They identified the man as Borovetz, and arrested him on charges of obtaining property by false pretenses. During the interview that followed, Borovetz confessed to scamming five people at Charlotte Douglas International.

Allen do us all a favor and just go away. You are one weird dude

the reason Borovetz was banned Chainsaw was that he wasn't defending himself, he admitted to everything and just used the forum to attack the character of the people who were outraged by his behavior. his posts were genuinely appalling in their lack of remorse and introspection. if he posted more he would just humiliate himself (and the handful of people who sympathize with him) further.

.

doublejoker is not taking an insane postition and he isn't defending the guy

Isn't he in jail and unable to post on 2p2 anyway?

Not to mention that he was also using the forum to scam. He was looking for people to feel pity for him and give him a stake or money. He PMed me saying he had a guy that was going to give him a staking deal "I don't know what the future brings for me(have an offer of staking to play some poker tournaments which I might) but I would have to stay completely away from the pits - something I have never been able to do"

His PM was in response to me calling him out in the original thread. I was pretty harsh and he responded "You summed it up exactly about my gambling addiction - very well stated."

I felt like he was being sarcastic but he claimed that he wasn't. Not sure what to believe because this guy is seriously messed up. It sounds to me like Mike manipulated chainsaw into believing that he is a better person than he actually is.

lol

You are seriously an even bigger waste of life parasite than borovetz you enabling piece of ****. Do you have anything that even resembles a conscience or self-respect?

Oh but hey, at least you keep an eye out for bad blind structures

First Chainsaw bashes weed. Now he's defending scammers.

heh

hes up the creek without the paddle imho

I knew I could draw him out!

OK I'll play along. Please explain in detail why not? Why isn't the ban for his and our member's protection from a serial self admitted scammer?

This thread wouldn't exist without his recidivism.

What can he or you possibly post in his defence.

It almost seems like he wants a warm place to sleep, three meals a day, and poker for smokes.

One thing I don't fully understand. How does he get comped at hotels everywhere he goes? I understand he has gambled consistently but how much money could a homeless beggar really spend?

Could Chainsaw be helping him out with comps?
