Right now I would say that Daniel's in lockdown, hoping that his detractors will get bored, find a new target or just plain forget about him, allowing him then to continue once it all does down.
Well, that ain't gonna happen.
No reply nothing, I haven't seen any other posts been made rcently, I am considering posting a link up to said video.
We can not see your post anywhere. So don't be surprised not to receive answers. Probably all comments were set on "Spam" and are therefore just visible to the poster and their directly connected friends.
And as a sidenote: no matter what, the Likes of the RF store webpage are going up. Would be still interesting to know where DM is advertising all the time.
Waiting a bit longer for feedback from moderator/ PR person A J. People will appreciate to know the stance or immediate disappearance of a person hired to handle Facebook PR after publishing the video. Did somebody upload it on youtube in the meantime? And we'd like to have (maybe it was said somewhere) where the video link was originally announced.

I made my comment under where Steph posted up about her self taking over the company with the picture of the bird. Since comments are the only way to be able to post anything up there.

Under what username? In any case even after rechecking we did not see any comment there about the video.

No I can't see it either just lots of self congratulatory messages about how awesome RF is (and a post saying can't wait for his order to turn up good luck with that one )
I think we can assume that Aj has run for the hills after the video, but now that he was part of the company Kimstephdanibonber can post to the page anything they like and just put a little (Aj) at the end and seem like someone else.
And i note that the awesome message from Forge World stating what an amazing company RF are still hasn't turned up yet !!!

I didn't forget. In fact, someone had already commented on it before I made my post. It just didn't seem to me to be relevant to anything having to do with MandelBonder and his ongoing issues.
Howard A Treesong wrote: I have wondered if Daniel does have some sort of mental issues because it seems like a big game to him.
I would wager that he does. As Matthew Bonder -and, granted, this was a fictional identity and the details might be 100% fictionalized (but I doubt it, in this case)- he admitted publicly and privately a few times that he was medicated for (I think) ADD. Now, ADD is no smoking gun (and I am NOT disrespecting anyone for having it) but is does qualify as a mental issue. Many with it often have other problems, as well (ODD, etc).

To be fair, AJ stated that he wouldn't be coming around to answer questions if he did not have any new information to give (or words to that effect, at least).
ADD is a little more than that, KK... and it still qualifies as a mental disorder. Even if you happen to be someone who has it, it's unfair to those who have it (or OTHERS who have it) to dismiss it in such a way.
AJ was asked before and after, he made his comment. So there was really no reason for him not to make a comment about the video. Plus I do find it a bit funny that it wasn't him who linked/posted the video here. A one point I did feel sorry for the bloke for the mess he jumped into, not so much now.
Yes, that is OT... not to mention, as that alter alias he also said his wife and child had cancer, as well as later on saying that he himself had it (to the MWC contributors).
Plus I forgot to say, his account here is still showing online. So unless he is afk. He still is popping over and maybe having a read, or posting in another thread.

Contagious cancer is the worst kind.
I don't blame AJ for bowing out of this nightmare one bit. I do believe he had the best intentions and just wasn't aware of the full scope of things.

What I mean is that ADD is not a disorder that makes you go and do the kind of stuff that Mandelbaum does.
How would it explain the behaviour of his wife, too?

ADD would not explain why he has done the things he did, much less the way that StephaKim is behaving, obviously.
Note that I was in no way defending ANYTHING that EITHER of them are doing, have done, or will do!
I have my beliefs about DanMatt and StephaKim, which are unproven and will not be mentioned. Needless to say, my beliefs are not favorable. I do agree with many of the assessments made of the two and, like yourself, I believe that they are married, regardless of what they say.
As an aside, I'm TOTALLY amused that DanMatt has not bothered to contact me personally at all during this debacle, not has "StephaKim." Considering what a vocal opponent of his I'd been in the past and just the fact that I've openly commented in this thread, well, I've received e-rants before for FAR less. LOL
That depends, I think. To a degree, it can explain what MandelBonder's driving force... or one of them... might be. Considering some of the divergences this thread has taken that have not been addressed by Mods, I don't think this one would be off base, provided it stays topical and refrains from being degrading.
Hey Guys, sorry I've been absent. Work has been busy lately and I've spent most of my first day off in ages cleaning the house and taking care of my sick pup.
Anyway, to answer the video questions. I actually had not seen it until well after all of you. All I have to say is that I provided my advice for the video, but had no contribution to it.
I great guy that Resin Forge is starting to work with brought up the idea of asking customers for video Testimonials. After sending out an email to our customer base, we have our first video as well as offers of 2 more to be made shortly.
Therefore, if your a customer, have a webcam or way to make a video and wish to state how your transaction(s) with us have happened, please do send them in. Links to a youtube upload are fine as are direct email attachments.
Lets please keep this thread clean for links to Testimonials (and discussion of them) This thread will be moderated to remove anything that does not fit those conditions.
(Kim)
Looks like RF is keeping up with just ignoring legitimate questions, and is now asking for testimonials about their service.
Aj, I'd love to hear your thoughts on things in private(and will keep said conversation private if you want).

Hell, I'd just like to hear how he feels about it. Did he also find any of it odd?
I have no comments on the request for testimonials. A lot of companies add them to their web stores to promote business and inspire confidence with new buyers.
Testimonials just to confirm people received their stuff?
Ya just don't get it do ya RF. Besides a few incidents and also an accusation of recasting the french gentlemans work, no one has said RF is chronically not delivering. You keep smokescreening with that angle trying to make it look like that is what Dakka is saying, it's not.
No one thinks RF was at the stage where they were welching yet. The point is one of your founders was known to run ponzi schemes, where he always did a good job for the first few months before the chaos began. Proving you have delivered at this point is immaterial to whether or not your customers are at risk buying from you. If in 5 years, you don't have a mark on your record from now on it would be relavant, but now, 7 months in after all the bs and lies and obfuscation, it doesn't matter one tiny little bit.
I repeat what does matter -
1. Produce your current business registration number showing you are legally allowed to do business in the state of Texas. Everything you sell without that number is illegal.
2. Produce the previous business registration number showing you were legally allowed to do business in the state of Texas. Everything you sold without that number is illegal.
3. Prove you went to the HH weekender as you swore you would and did before and after the fact. Otherwise you pre-sold items you had no way of securing, and scammed your customers with lies and false promises.
Not that I expect you to answer Stephakim. But I'll keep asking every time you try to make an issue out of nothing to distract from the the real items that call your whole operation into question. You are obligated to answer those questions both legally and morally to your customers and the govt, sooner or later, it's going to bite you.
We don't know that... but one would imagine a store not currently doing business on anything but PM, with terrible and sporadic PR and in the center of giant controversy with a mask wearing owner would not be accruing tons of likes. Amusing that most of their posts get at most 30 likes, sometimes as low as 2 or none, yet their like rate seems to increase.
I do have information about the PM sales, which I can view as an admin on the FB page. All sales via PM are rerouted and checked out on the shopping cart.
While I don't have much information, that is something I can shed light on.
Hi AJ so. After seeing the video, can you please comment on the video it self now? How it didn't address the situation or even clear anything up? Sure you want to continue helping RF when they had a chance to answer and address the situation and we got a video less then a minute long. So nearly a week and no business reg number yet. Or any other questions answered. Well like with the mask in the video RF can take that idea and black the faces out in the HH pictures and post them now .
Well since RF have decided to go down the route of sticking their fingers in their ears and going "la la la we can't hear you ask for legitimate business ID" they obviously don't have any . So i have contacted the Texas Tax office (yes Danial all the way from little old England ! since you seemed to think that that was some impossible feat ) and have voiced my concerns that a Business with reportedly hundreds of customers selling thousands of dollars of stock (now with added Video Testimonials ) refuse to provide a Legitimate Registration Number (a state mandate in Texas ) when asked for it
And as for the Video Testimonial BS (which by the way was the last straw for me that was the point that i decided to actually try to do something ) surely uploading a video endorsing an "Alleged Scam Company" must violate the T&C's of You Tube ?

Well, you beat me to it. MajorTom11 did raise a good point that they could be operating illegally. If they are indeed operating illegally, they deserve to be fed the law.

Props for contacting the tax office, while i applaud the intended action I sadly feel that not much will come of it. After speaking with my brother (who is law enforcement here in texas, and a good friend of the DA in Houston), this most likely will just get shuffled into the circular filing cabinet. There just isn't enough money/damages to really get the state to sink their teeth into this case, and just like any good business, if it isn't profitable it isnt worth their time. But I could be wrong, and if they respond to you SC i'd love to get updated! Nothing would make me happier than for you to prove me wrong
His entire reason for still being out of any real legal trouble is that he is just a tiny fish that had been able to get small sums of money from people that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. The police hears reports of "I got screwed out of a couple hundred bucks buying toy soldiers over the Internet" and they don't care to spend the man hours on something like that.
You could do it for breach of contract under the Small Claims legislation. I know there is a US version. However you have actually to be the wronged party to do so.
You have to serve the court summons on the defendant so it helps to know their address. I will leave it to people to think about why Resin Forge may be so reluctant to provide a business address.
So to come back to our still unanswered (I think) question: when and where did RF actually publish the link to that video? Since it is not on their FB page and didn't go via "newsletter".
Would it be legal to start posting all the evidence we have up to a public facebook page or webpage as RF end up deleting all the stuff aimed at Dakka.
Again, Kim/Stephanie. You need to address the issues, not waffle about how "Dakka is targetting you".

I second this option

Has it actually been proven that Resin Forge is a legal entity (legitimate company)? If not then any misdeeds the persons behind Resin Forge are personally liable for any losses, as far as I know this is not the case as yet. All of the previous misdeeds were against Mandelbaum and any claims should be against him. You have his fathers address which would be a good place to start.
The current person behind Resin Forge Stephanie Hernandez may be unwilling to post her address for fear of Mandelbaum hatred, which by association she is included, or it could be something more sinister and she intends to run the business in the same way. It is more than likely that DM is still behind the scenes and that this is his usual MO.

No, it hasn't. Quite frankly, I'm just waiting for someone to turn this into a legal action lol.
Or we could pull a C+D on Kim/Stephanie on defamatory action on facebook @ dakka.
Seriously though, What they are doing is actually way more destructive to themselves then anything we can do.
And an aside to the video. I believe that weird way of talking was her attempting to mask her normal voice. The video was aimed directly at Dakka, and not shown to anyone else (otherwise she'd lose customers/likes obviously).
A.J. I'd like to hear your personal opinion on the video, on Kim/Stephanie and I would like evidence that proves that both Daniel and Jason have left. Thats what Resin Forge lacks, and will always lack, credibility. As long as you do not present evidence, there will always remain a question. Anyone can say they have done something. Does that mean that they have physically done it? No.
It could be proved to some extent by showing the before and after registrations, however people would have some doubt that Mandelbaum was not still involved behind the scenes, as Stephanie/Kim Hernandez is his wife.

I've mentioned it before, but it's been a while.
We have a thread on this issue on Bartertown. Essentially, it's just an informative post, with a link to THIS thread.
Provided that all information remain (a) pertinent to the current situation and (b) follows Bartertown's posted rules, anything you want to save 'for posterity' can be posted in that thread. There are some things we allow that Dakka doesn't (addresses, for example) which could do well for the community if shared. You're welcome to post them there.
This includes screen captures, etc.
So basically AJ posting here is fairly useless as a conduit of communication. Nothing against him as a person but whatever his goals are by responding in this thread; he provides no answers.
He also appears to have few opinions of his own. I'm not sure what he hopes to achieve other than smearing his own name by associating with someone like Daniel Mandelbaum. Is there some reciprocal agreement between them regarding compensation for his time? Not clear on that one. No sympathy if it turns sour, he's been warned clearly enough, the facts are there.

Having and sharing opinions are not the same. I'd wager he has them. It's actually quite smart, professionally, for him to keep them to himself. It's not his place to publicly share opinions on an employer... even if his position is unpaid.
According to his earlier posts, he's not getting any sort of recompense for his time, at all.

14. Once I have obtained a Texas sales and use tax permit, what are my obligations as a permit holder?
As a permit holder, you are required to
Post your permit at your place of business;
Collect sales tax on all taxable sales;
Pay sales and use tax on all taxable purchases;
Timely report and pay sales and use taxes; and
Keep adequate records.
Well i doubt it since only LEGAL businesses need one of those. If your running a fly-by -night illegal business then why should you care about the law
(On a totally unrelated note i really am learning a lot about the Tax laws of Texas should any business need a cheap lawyer to represent them !!!!)
For anyone wondering about the requirements to register with the State of Texas when doing business here is the relevant information; (Direct from the Office of the Governor of the State of Texas)
In any of these cases the business must be registered. If it is registered, it is searchable in the State of Texas public archives. As I've shown before, RF is not found (in a variety of variations of the name).
Spoiler:
Legal Structure
There are several legal structures available for businesses operating in Texas. Each structure is listed below with a brief description of the entity.
Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship exists when a single individual operates a business and owns all assets. A sole proprietor is personally liable for all debts, and business ownership is nontransferable. Under a sole proprietorship, the life of the business is limited to the life of the individual proprietor. The sole proprietorship makes no legal distinction between personal and business debts, and it does not require a separate income tax return. A sole proprietorship is often operated under the name of the owner. Whenever operating a business under a name other than the sole proprietor, an Assumed Name Certificate must be filed with the county clerk. Assumed Name Certificates are discussed later in this section.
General Partnership
A general partnership exists when two or more individuals or businesses join to operate a business. Under a general partnership, a separate business entity exists, but creditors can still look to the partners’ personal assets for satisfaction of debts. General partners share equally in assets and liabilities. A general partnership requires an annual partnership income tax return (separate from the partners’ personal returns). A general partnership may be operated under the names of the owners, or a different name. In either case, an Assumed Name Certificate must be filed with the county clerk.
Limited Partnership
A limited partnership is a partnership formed by two or more persons or entities, under the laws of Texas, and having one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. General partners share equally in debts and assets, while limited partners have limited debt obligations. A limited partnership must be registered with the Secretary of State. (See next section for details on the business name.)
All information easily found with simple google searches too so there is no excuse for anyone to not know the legal requirements of operating a business.
Also this
Please explain the difference between a webstore and an ebay store. According to you, Ebay stores within the State of Texas would need to be registered how exactly?
Why is there a mention of Ebay? Ebay "stores" are an entirely different animal. A Webstore is still a business that falls under the laws of the physical location you operate from as your main "office" (so-to-speak).

Who could possibly be involved with that? Who would nest themselves in with legitimate converters to take advantage of their good names and reputations and then eff them and the customers over while hiding his identity behind aliases and random people he knows posing as the owners?
Who in the world would ever do such a thing? I wouldn't buy a conversion from them if my life depended on it lol... what a joke. This is so, so, so, massively transparent Daniel, you are playing all the old hits...
Resin Forge Store We are in talks with several people that specialize in conversions. A good use of bits may be to have them do custom pre builds. As such, we are taking requests for ideas on builds. Big and small. If you have an idea, PMRF here.

Fantastic to hear. Will RF still be concentrating on forgeworld products ?
Resin Forge Store
Yes... for now, but there are plans in the works but lips are sealed for now.
And this tidbit is complete "coincidence", only a really really paranoid (German?) person would make any connections between Stephanies, Petites Gamines, parrot lovers and "husbands" here...
You wouldn't believe how cooperative certain bird lovers suddenly become when contacted
Look to the right, who la petite gamine signed her name as.
Look at the FW pics where la petite gamine hysterically yelled at them for blocking her husbands conversions. Look who's conversions they are, look at which company they were then used for and sold from.
Just in case that is too vague -
Stephanie Hernandez is Daniel Mandelbaums wife. She does not go by Kim, she goes by Stephanie, which is what she used in various other non-RF intances we have caught her out on. Daniel is obviously still very much involved in the company in my view, and looks like his wife is just as big a piece of work as he is as the trail surrounding her grows as well. At the very least, she knows exactly what he has done. In all likelihood, by the look of it to me, she probably helped him.
Lie and lie after lie after lie.
Hey Daniel and Mrs.Bonderbaum, why don't you share those links where we show which law you are breaking if you are not registered with your clients if you have anything even resembling a pair between you. Honestly... disgusting behaviour, truly disgusting.
These two are like Sith, a master and a learner.
I do admit though, I am starting to think Stephakim actually exists... either that or she is Daniels most elaborate alias yet. Can never be 100% with this... if she does exist though, she is just as big a liar as he is.
It shows that La Petite Gamine claims to be Stephanie - or Kim?
And LPG claimed to be married to Danielmandelbonder at one point. And Kim denies that she ever was.
Dangit they always go on a bender while it's sleep time over here, so by the time I wake up half of everyone's posts are gone. And of course they won't comment on the links you guys provided, they show how they are operating illegally. You'd need to post them on their site/get lex to list them on his hashtagging resin forge/tagging them/that sort of thing.
Crikey, I don't check the thread for a few days and it explodes again....
The most recent posts SCREAM Daniel. As someone who reads documents for a living, you get a 'feel' for plagiarism - the posts claiming to be from StephaKim are pretty much 100% the same syntax and structure exhibited by Daniel in his. She's either incredibly close to Daniel, or it's him himself posting under her name.
On the subject of their nuptials or not: is there not a register of births deaths and marriages that can be publically checked in Dallas? In the UK we can make a request to see any marriage certs....?
Still. I think StephaKim exists, but boy is she in it up to her eyeballs with Daniel.
While we first thought that the "Gamine" account was a pure burn account, by know we do think that this is a "genuine" (as in regularly used, no necessary as in real, real) account. Also doesn't sound or look like Daniel, but sure as sure he used it to post stuff in his usual, weird style on other pages. But the whole bird mania and thing is somebody else. Or otherwise a case of schizophrenia, but we are pretty sure that the police could tell if it was a woman or a man who made the police report in person.
I was looking for their marriage, I just bumped into other records. I'm not sure if they are married as it would have to be quite recent not to be in the records.

How do you know that that's him?
Edit: Fun fact, I've a few friends in Plano, TX that I can ask to snoop around for me if that's indeed where he's from.
I think highlighting the alleged misconduct of others that he may be associated with is not helpful at this point, and does make it seem like Dakka is going beyond reasonable measures in highlighting Mr Mandelbaum's alleged conduct.
Daniel (and his dad's business that he has used as an address for deliveries in the past) are both located in Dallas. While Plano is a suburb of Texas I think it is probably stretching to automatically assume that the warrants are for his dad no matter what the likelihood may be.
It also really doesn't affect Resin Forge in any way.
It's the exact name attached to the same address that Daniel Mandelbaum and family live in, also he's the right age, and someone here has even spoken to him on the phone. They're easily found in White Pages and other address directories. Presumably this is the reason Daniel M hid behind false identities for so long, he's very easy to find when exposed.
You're right it doesn't affect Resin Forge, but in the past someone has spoken to his father who said stuff about making it right, but nothing further happened, now his wife seems to be helping him in this one. It seems obvious that his immediate family don't take issue with his scmmning and know of it.

Well, getting the full identity of the person is the first step to finding his address. In this day and age, you can't really hide your digital footprint anymore. Once address is found, the relevant authorities can be alerted to take action.
Saw that elsewhere, it's on some directories tied to his home address, that's all. I could be wrong about his full name, I was actually trying to find a marriage notice but I can't see one so maybe they are, maybe they're not.
We know from the obituary web page of D Mandelbaum's mother that a Stephanie Hernandez has or had a close relationship.
We know from Stephanie herself that she likes to be called Kim (for Kimberley) by close associates.
We know from RF's C&D letter that the company is a limited liability company (i.e. it should be registered in Texas) under the directorship of Mandelbaum, Hernandez and the third person.
We know from Hernandez that she and the other guy got rid of Mandelbaum a few weeks ago. We also know that the other guy also left recently and Hernandez is now running the company by herself. The change of directorships are in the process of being registered.
As you keep digging it is more and more that this guy is personally throwing C and D letters around under false pretense. You take this to court, make sure you bring the mashed potatoes.
Why do people go to this length to be DB's?
What is the end state of this situation, anyway? How far do you think this guy is going to keep riding the shame train?

Dun dun dunnnnnnm.
The thought occured. But DM filed the police report against Aerethan in person. That was in May 2013 IIRC. So nah, not probable. Plus we got delivery stickers for the RF predecessor with the address of DM's father's "office space/ suite" from 2012/2013.
Madelbaums address is already well known to those of us who've been around a bit. It's listed in the police reports uploaded in this thread, which are all public information.
Further research a few weeks back showed that his grandparents own the house, in which his father and he live.
And with todays info we have rather solid evidence of "Kim" being his significant other in every way shape and form, and the video she posted suggests they have a child with them(not necessarily together).

Fair point. I don't think we have need to stretch to discussing Daniel's dad; as far as we are aware he is not associated with the company.
Aerethan, did I miss something beyond the Imgur links that inquisitor s posted? I know they're looking for "conversion people" I'm missing the evidence that Stephanie and Dan are married and live together. Pm me if rehashing this would pull the thread off topic.
La Petite Gamine posted way back when on FW's page about her husband's posts of conversions being taken down, the very same pics that RF posted as their own work. Therefore, La Petite Gamine asserted that whoever did RF's work was her husband.
Then RF stated after Daniel had supposedly left, that HE did all of their conversion work they posted. Meanwhile La Petite Gamine posted some defensive comments in random threads on the RF page. So we now know that La Petite Gamine's husband is Daniel Mandelbaum, as confirmed by RF that he did the conversions that LPG complained about FW removing.
Then just today a screenshot of a post from LPG that is signed "-Stephanie", which is the real name of "Kim" Hernandez, who also posted a message on Susan Beasley(DM's deceased mother)'s obit page linked some time ago.
Sooo, La Petite Gamine is married(or claimed to be) to Daniel Mandelbaum, and the best part is that they basically gift wrapped that information through their own laziness and a lack of being able to keep up with their own lies.
And now RF is wanting to sell conversions as their bread and butter, which DM has done something like 4 times already, and is where the real scamming money comes from, as it's something with a longer time frame that beats out paypals 45 day window.
I'd caution heavily that if anyone does business with RF and they don't have product in their hand by day 43, dispute with paypal immediately.

I don't mean to digress Mann, but the fathers address has been used several times, and people who called the house looking to find out where the heck their stuff was got him on a few occasions and he had them explain the whole sordid mess to him. He at least knows what his son is up to. If the business has to be run out of his house, then he knows that Daniel is 'up to it' again. I don't think their is a particular need to focus on him for sure, however, he is not completely irrelevant either, even up til a month or two ago.
Due to the continual ongoing drama caused by the wonderful people at dakka, I'm happy to finally announce that RF will be closing to avoid the biased bs that continues to spew forth. This has all culminated in an actual death threat to me personally via my own personal home number that has never been given out.
The fact is, I do not want to continue with this drama. It is not worth my time. energy or the stress from someone calling to tell me "I will pay with my life". The caller used a service which can not be traced and frankly, it worries me.
The original warning from dakka on one of our owners was taken way overboard and now includes me at its core. I have no debt and never have had any debt to anyone. Let alone anyone related to Resin Forge. Resin Forge itself has operated for 8 solid months and not one person can or has ever stated they are out money with no product. RF even went over the line to refund someone who was given tracking that simply stopped updating half way. At no point did RF have to refund that person but it happened anyways.
The store is closed. The shopping cart is closed. This page will remain until I have decided how to handle it after talking with AJ, who has helped Moderate the page. At no time was he paid and he has always been kind enough to offer his help. I thank him for his time and wish him all the best.
As for the folks at dakka. I've watched companies get warnings on dakka over these past 8 weeks as well. Companies that blatantly stole from customers. Customers posting how CC numbers had been stolen or items never received. Those threads all stays small and left page 1. The thread on Resin forge has grown to over 2000+ replies and doesn't have a single person stating they are owed or have been owed anything by Resin Forge. How can that be anything but a biased attack against Resin Forge and anyone associated with it?
The death threat to my home phone was the last straw. I have seen how plain and outright sadistic the people of dakka can be. Its disgusting and I will no longer take part in this mad house.

So they are closing again...this is all very confusing.
And I'm sure that death threat is as legit as the rest of their business.
And some of the supporting comments, they make me wonder if they ever actually read the history of DM
"Find yourself a good lawyer and sue them into the ground man, you have a great bases and tons of documentation then reopen as a different name with the money you win from those jokers"
I love how she talks about false accusations and drama yet says 'Dakka' as if we all agreed to call her with our gestalt mind, if it even happened at all.
Did this person call you and say, 'Hi, I'm Dakka' ?
Shocking timing that the final straw pointing her out as Mandelbaums wife or at least a big, huge part of his life was today, as well as her challenge to find the law, which we did, cementing the fact that she is operating illegally (since she has outright dodged giving any proof whatsoever that she is legit... Neo would be proud).
What a coincidence, the timing.
Whatever.
See ya later RF, we'll see you in a few months when you crop up again. Or tomorrow if you change your mind again, whichever.

Of course they wouldn't. No one here is superman either, using their x-ray vision/super hearing to get her home number and threaten her there. It's just the usual smokescreen stuff and over reaction instead of providing her business registration data.
Dreadclaw69 wrote: I'd like to think that no one here would overstep the mark and actually threaten someone.
The only threat we ever made was that we would not go away, we would not forget, and we will find him trying this again when he does(and he will). No one threatened violence, nor would we, as we (unlike RF) operate within the law.
Aerethan wrote: I heard Rick had a run in with him once when he went to get his stuff.
Correct, back when he (Daniel) was still Matt Bonder. I paid a surprise visit to Dandelbondler's apartment. Daniel being the chicken he is, called his daddy, Michael.
Michael was the "middleman" at that time, supposedly he was to deal with people who were waiting on their items.
Which is why the only thing that will change by their "closing for reals this time" statement is the damn name he picks to call it next time. He's a broken record.

I wouldn't even say that was a threat, just that the community would remain vigilant.

I've never had any number that I assumed was hers. I have Daniels home number, or at least a number that is registered to Michael Mandelbaum.
"THEY ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE>> THEY ALL F L O A T DOWN HERE, true story I went to school with Jonathan Brandis I didnt' kwon him to know him but I Could have pointed to him if I needed to. So sad what happened with him."

Yup, in fact, she/they identify me as one of the biggest 'haters', but I have never, ever advocated the use of violence or any action save for those sanctioned and enacted by the proper legal authorities.
I, nor any other Mod, have allowed discussion of violence or intimidation. We all sanctioned their last published 'letter from Dakka' which made allusions to DM's mother.
It's pathetic really. You yourself use google #'s to hide your phone DM/Stephakim, it concerns you someone else did it to you? Ya. You say this forum is sanctioning violence against you? Ya. Sure.
The only thing we sanction is you getting brought to justice if you commit more crimes, or, you getting your poisonous butts out of the business of selling to this hobby because you can't scam enough people to make it worth your while anymore.
Take your fictional deaththreats, fictional identities and fictional business and go be quiet somewhere and rage against a community and group that refuse to let you lie and steal in our midst any longer. How dare we not forget your past, or take nothing but your word that you can be trusted? How dare we look into your statements and uproot your lies. How dare we protect ourselves from you.
Get help Mandelbaums. There is so much more to life than this, find an honest way to make a living, find an ounce of self-respect somewhere.

"[swear word] hell, wargamers should be a community, not act like scumbag yobs. cant you just take legal action for slander or something?"
No, they can't, last time they tried that the legal company scammed them (according to Resin Forge), and besides, they aren't as much a fan of taking legal action for slander as they are of taking legal action for liable.
I'm writing that here because I don't really want to post on their fb page...and since RF reads here they'll see it anyway
Since RF has no way (or evidence) to prove anyone here somehow got Kim's # and threatened her, it could have been anyone, anyone... what basis does RF have to put the name of this forum and the tens of thousands of people who use it universally on a death threat?
You guys delete posts from people asking polite questions, but you allow that kind of crap to go on on your end?
AJ, I like you, and I had good interaction with you, polite and honest. But you are the moderator of that page, where do you stand man. I think you are a pretty good person on impression, please take a stand on that. It's hypocrisy at best. Genuine slander at worst. Complete misdirection either way.

To be fair, if they had actually engaged a legal company rather than making one up, that might have turned out slightly differently. Who knows?

It all depends on the moderation policy, how much free rein he has, and whether there is a company line being enforced.

If he's a moderator who is allowing this yet removing polite questions, then what is the point of his role's existence, since he's just doing exactly what they were doing beforehand? He came on here saying 'I'm the mod etc', implying that he'd be cleaning up the page. He hasn't, and isn't. For example he left that ridiculous 'hivemind' thing up full of awful stuff, yet still allows other reasonable posts to be deleted.
The point is, why is Dakka the forum responsible? She offers no proof of anything. Why Dakka? Why not Lexicanum? Or Bartertown? Or Apocalypse40k?
There is absolutely, completely, nothing in her statement to tie any individual on this forum to it, much less all ~70k of us. That's bloody disgusting.
As I pointed out earlier, pretty amazing that they leap and set off the nuclear flash-bang victim play the day we amass damning evidence that Stephanie is Stephanie, not Kim, and that she was and is married to Daniel, either civil, commonlaw or religious. And also the day she tried to 'call our bluff' about which law said she had to be registered, which wasn't a bluff at all as an avalanche of linked sources shows.
Nope, I have a strong feeling we were starting to get very, very close to stripping the remaining shreds of alias of both of them and having all the info we need to definitively show they were operating a business without tax or assumed name registration. I have a feeling it would have impacted Stephanie's other place of work attached to her paypal, and potentially Daniels father too if it was coming out of his home.
When they realized the bread crumbs they had left in the La Petite Gamine fb account, as well as the fact we very much knew what to look for in their business to know it is legit, they panicked and pulled this gak.
Sadly, it is not the first time this type of escalation of victim cards and misdirection have been played, probably not the last either as I absolutely do not give them credit enough to think they will actually have the brain-power to figure out the jig is up for them in the wargaming community.

Did this have anything to do with warrants coming to light, or the links to criminal records that I found, or the proof that Stephakim has claimed to be his wife?
Hi ive been following this thread for quite some time now, and totally agree that people like this should be run out of town, so to speak as a friend of mine got scammed not by RF i might add. What i do find funny is RF Facebook plea's to closing the store yadda yadda woh is them, yet again there store is still open and trading. Also i find it funny that he/she/they/it doesn't reply to simple pleasantly asked questions.

Well warrants added with the fact that we know where DM lives could have very well prompted this, as local authorities may be inclined to follow up on them if prodded about it.
I honestly think that the marriage evidence is what broke the scamels back.

Yeah im sure he would, it was a small company in England, who my girlfriend several months before had used, apart from an extremely long waiting time i she did recieve the goods. My friend however ordered some Imperial Storm Troopers and a Valkyrie. He didnt hear anything for a while and then he kept emailing them and after that he phoned them and they said they had been experiencing problems with GW as he was selliing Direct Sales stuff with the usual 10% discount so GW were slapping his wrists but he would recieve his order. Anyway more time passed and he still dint recieve anything so he called them up and cancelled which they agreed to and he waited for his money back which he didnt recieve, and then there website went down and now he doesnt get any reply to email's or his calls go unanswered, although he didnt lose alot of money, it still was enough and he is new to this hobby and i felt bad for him, as i had initially shown him the website.

Oh really? What a coincidence... poor Stephanie Mandelbaum will have to start a whole other page with another fake name now. Of course that will be our fault and not her husband's.
Thats not a problem its just i was posting regards RF and other traders who scam/rip off, and someone asked me a question which i replied too, and did so here rather than create a new thread for people to go see and basically just to cut down on time for everyone. But i did point out in the post that RF weren't involved in anyway with what i was answering.
When I was looking through the Dallas County records it seemed like his dad has had quite a few "doing business as" filings in the past, as well as a dismissed telephone harassment charge. Maybe the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
Of course none if this matters if Stephakim isn't Daniel and/or has nothing to do with him...
The thing that makes me feel the worst about all of this is that Daniel, Stephanie, Jason, whoever is in charge over there can spout whatever inane bullgak they want and we can't do anything about it.
Nope, it wouldn't. I would grovel on my hands and knees for forgiveness were she to prove our evidence and the story it tells untrue, in-so-far as the post-mandelbaum exit.
However, since she abosolutely refuses to produce any evidence whatsoever, or do or say anything that isn't bat-gak insane, I'm going to sleep just fine tonight. If the crooked mask-wearing shoe fits...
Here's my question...
In the 4th section of the link above, there's something called "SETS AND PASSES."
In that section, we see this:

Who is the "Associated Name?" Would Samuel Roganstein be his lawyer? That's not another alias. Is it?
Careful. We arent 100% sure that those court records relate to this Daniel Mandleboner.... You would hate to say it was just to be sued for "liable".

No, it is funny as all hell. If it wasnt who we suspect it of being, the page would still be up because people dont randomly find dakka and read a single thread referencing one Steph/Kim/Mandlebonder and pull down said FB page...
Mandelbaum is not a common name in Texas. Do searches for it in Texas and you mostly get people matching those mentioned on Susan B's obituary page. Then you see they mostly all live at the same address, there's only one Daniel Mandelbaum that appears in any search of Texas and he's always 29 (born July 1984). It's very probably the same person in the court records, the various addresses and everything else. This is why he hid behind false identities so long, because he's so easy to find.
He's listed on this page under his full name and that leads you to further details including showing he lives with his father. So we can be sure this Daniel Mandelbaum is the right one even if there is only one in Texas.
That's the only one that I can find, and it seems the people who said they had troubles got their stuff. But could of sworn that I saw another.
Yet those companies aren't 'linked' with a known 'scammer', actively engaging with dakka and lying through their teeth. They aren't promising their business registration then feeding us a video of some random masked bird. That's just one of the differences.
Hey guys I just read up on what is going on. I've been out celebrating a birthday.
I'm sorry that the blame has fallen to Dakka and want to make it clear that I do not believe that is was from here, and if it was, that it was not someone of the majority opinion.
Everyone that I have had conversations with, regardless of our differences, have been nothing but polite and kind to me.
I'd like to point out though that my admin access was revoked prior to/at the time of that post so at this point I have no way of removing it or removing the comments from users that threaten and use down right rude/vulgar comments about this forum and others.
Personally the statement I would have made after the death threat is:
**Update 6/26**
Dear Resin Forge fans and friends,
Due to an increase in harassment and threats to my person, I will be shutting down the Resin Forge Store and closing the business. All orders will be fulfilled and any awaiting arrival from Forgeworld will be refunded.
Thank you for all the support and encouragement.
-Kim
Again, that is not what was said, but what I would have said.
Now since I wasn't there, I am assuming that the post was made directly after the threat when emotions would be high and some unreasonable judgments may have been made.
This is just my unbiased opinion.
Have a goodnight,
Aj

So there's that. AJ is no longer tied to the sinking ship, and good for him.
This has honestly been the weirdest 2 months. Tolkien himself couldn't write fiction this far out.

It is really just the pretty normal and usual Daniel Mandelbaum style of post, nothing unexpected or surprising really.
Now I do hope that you have a great Resin Forge free stay here at Dakka (the cesspool of the wargaming community) and I am looking forward to seeing some of your great work that I have been hearing about.

Welcome to the cesspool!
See, if you're a real person, and you have nice minis, Dakka people aren't so bad after all. Welcome to the cesspool! PS watch out for the kronk
RF can 'blame' Dakka all they want. I don't feel there's any reason to believe there was a 'death threat' over the phone, but that sounds like a better story than saying the want to go to ground again because they don't like their names, addresses, marriage, criminal records and everything else exposed and tied to their 'business'.
In case you are interested William T (AJ) has a public photo bucket. He can correct me if I am wrong but back in the early 2000's he posted on Warseer as Kayamotsu.
http://m372.photobucket.com/albums/WarForgeStudios I know it's sort of OT but I thought some of the thread followers might find it an interesting diversion.
Automatically Appended Next Post: ROFL...warn him about Kronk but don't tell him to watch his two hole...

Yeah... A "company" without any verifiable registration or license and which did its best to avoid even admitting the city that they are operating out (let alone a street or other contact info) now claims that somebody got their secret home number, that is SO believable. Nice try DM/KH/ SH, that's even dumber than your usual silliness. So how did people get your secret home number to make these "death threats"? Was it the anti-Jewish-German-NSA-Prism connection of Lexicanum or Dakka? Yeah, I think it must have been that.
By the way, you remember that time on reddit when you threatened to beat the crap out of people because they didn't like your minis? Yeah, we heard they are now aware of where you are, have fun with them, they seemed quite eager for getting into contact, did you happen to give them your phone nunmber?
Otherwise see you in a couple of days when it turns out that all continues as before. And by the way: the readers LOVED your video. Don't be surprised if the next calls are marriage proposals. Probably not the most sane people in the world, but hey, if you are single as you say you shouldn't be too choosy nowadays
i cant see the point of a death threat, it just be a waste of ammo anyway.
Just had a look on the RF page, and i wonder how many of the faithfull fans have really bothered to look at this thread and read it for themselfs

For most of them reading already seems to be a challenge, so not a lot it seems. And even if it would just be anti-sect propaganda
As for the quality of RF's followers, this post is rather amusing:
Language warning
Spoiler:
"Mike Hawkins shared Resin Forge Store's photo.
This is complete bs, GW has ruined yet another awesome miniature company with their petty insecure asses. It takes more than one company to make the hobby, you greedy bastards!!!!!"
Well then it's true. GW can be blamed for anything gaming related. You may want to photoshop that to remove the swearing though, since the filter can't do that for you, or else you'll be breaking the rules of the forum.
Sooooo now Dakka is a front for GW? Like a fifth (or in Kronk's case filth) column?
Wow.
This is a sideshow - Kim has now mutated back into Daniel. If 'she' had intended to make a go of things, then the attitude shown was never going to work.
Yet again Daniel shows his true colours. Yes there are threads on other 'scam' sites, but given that the sites in question get shut down pretty quickly once exposed, they don't need 200+ posts to expose them (ie one of the sites isn't available in the UK hence I don't comment).
Dan, you read this thread A LOT. Honestly, give it up. Wherever you pop up, there's a community which will expose your little get rich quick tries, and won't let up until you realise we're not all patsy's for your entertainment and profit.
I don't know who is denser: the operator(s) or the followers... But they are both entertaining You think they all learned English from the same person?
Tallon Amaya
I fined it atrocious of you accusing me of these accusation you have said about me and i am still waiting on proof of these allegations of me being (racist rants, bodily threats, lies on end etc?) you still haven't proven anything, so if these are Recorded then you shouldn't have a problem posting this proof? just a dog with its tail between its legs. Marcus Kesler are you not D-USA from dakka?

His FB page has been around since 2010, and is mostly public. Going by his posts he definetly has some opinions about Israel. And the US government. Doesn't seem to be a fan of either. He may well be a real person, just a conspiracy theory loving one. RF are also 'friends' he 'just made'.
Enigwolf wrote: We're all also, apparently, professional detectives and hitmen.
To be fair, the only proven record of someone hiring mercenaries to deal with his opponent in this conflict is Daniel Mandelbaum hiring BritCon and then claiming he mistook German mercenaries for US lawyers
Thinking about it, Resin Forge should restart as AmeriCon and hire Daniel for conversion work, as their AmeriCon artist
I like the use of first person pronouns, we never made accusations about Tallon Amaya
Yeah, he seems to have trouble with understanding written text. But what he lacks in understanding he makes up in spreading RF's newest "being the victim" show. Here at bitzbox.
Yeah that's a dang shame, I think it's because its a small business owner "defending" another small business owner.
Also, Tallon if you're reading this, can you please say where death threats were made via email? A phone call, unless recorded, is tough to prove it happened but an email is a paper trail. If Stephanie was threatened via email where is the email?

I agree, it'd be interesting to see who sent it, and how it's from dakka.

I agree, and while it is certainly too easy to fake digital communications, it's also just as easy to disprove faked communications, but then it quickly becomes a he said/she said thing. I think that it would serve to benefit both sides of this argument if an email existed. Because I could have sworn previously that an email threatening her life was never sent, i.e. I don't remember such a claim before Tallon Amaya made it on his facebook page.
Perhaps if Stephanie would file a police report, there would be some kind of evidence. Daniel M reported harassment to the police.
It is a lot harder to fake your business registration in the government database.
Sadly, I think to file a police report, evidence would have to be brought to the attention of the police officers. I believe that for them to do anything about it, Stephanie would have to file the police report, using her legal name, and provide the threatening email.

In the event that there was a malicious phone call I do hope that Ms. Hernandez took all reasonable precautions after and reported it to her local law enforcement, to have it on record if nothing else.
I utterly deplore threats of violence to whoever it may be. There's no need for it, and I'm sure every other member here joins me in that sentiment.
Kim- report it to the police, let them investigate it. They will have the ability to track the call (even if the number was withheld) and bring the full force of the law to bear.

1) I fully join in the condemnation of any threats of violence.
2) I also suggest calling the police if somebody threatened you.
I am deeply disappointed in bitz box... Last time they receive my custom.
As for the rest, let the Mandelbaums squawk and rage with their apparently sadly illiterate supporters in their guilder cage safe from evidence, logic and reason. It's so easy to pass the course when you grade your own papers isn't it RF? Verbal fapping... Congratulations.
Spend less time making gak up and lying and more time registering your business and you may not have been in this mess.
Check the (we already know it from previous posts) police report that Resin Forge had brought forward by its minion to show how Stephanie Hernandez received threatening phone calls. Check the date --> at that time most people never had even heard about Rf and certainly nobody had publicly made a connection to Mandelbonder and even more certainly nobody had known about "Stephanie Hernadez" being an alleged co-owner of Resin Forge. Hilarious. We don't even have to try to show people arguments anymore, even the followers started taking themselves apart without needing much encouragement
Tallon Amaya srsly?
this is just showing me how much dakkadakka are stalkers post and seeking personal info and posting it on open forums for anyone to SEE. any whack job can use that info to stalk or heaven forbid a sexual predator making calls or threatening calls and emails. Nor do you have proof she did or not receive a threatening call. By Mr WarOne about this registration and EIN ( Namely contacting IRS offices or state departments of commerce and/or business to question the validity of a business. Even without an EIN, [in some cases a business must file taxable income] or be registered with a state department.) BY protoclone (A vendor has a right to request, and recieve, a tax I.D. when setting up an account with a business; although a business has a right to deny the request of their tax I.D. to non vendors because the tax I.D. could be used without the businesses consent.
With these numbers (business or tax ID), and the address and phone information, you could fraudulently open an account and have goods and services sent to your home and billed to that business without a lot of trouble with some people they are roughly comparable, but not exactly to, your social security number.)
Usually, a tax ID or business ID would not be given to a consumer.

That Police Report is dated January 13th, and it details "KNOWN SUSPECT HAS CALLED AND TEXTED COMP MORE THAN 50 TIMES IN ONE DAY,
HARASSING COMP."
Could this individual have been the source of the alleged recent call, rather than someone affiliated with Dakka?
Yeah if she's 'shutting down' now because of harassing calls made in January...that's an interesting play. Let's see how that pans out for the business. Also the complaint in that report is about the frequency of contact, rather than a fear of life or anything of that nature.
And don't be ridiculous Dreadclaw, that's logic. Keep it away from RF, they'll twist it.
And don't be ridiculous Dreadclaw, that's logic. Keep it away from RF, they'll twist it.
I'd rate the chances that they just picked up a namesake for the usual diversion much higher than the caller then being the alleged caller now. You think the caller made bird sounds?
Tallon, here is what I will make of that police report.
I've seen that police report, saw it a few weeks ago when looking up for anything related to Stephanie Kimberly Hernandez or Daniel Mandelbaum, the police report was filed January 13th, 2013, that was (by my estimates) about 3 and a half months before the original thread involving Mr. Mandelbaum being associated with Resin Forge. At that time (January 13th, 2013), Miss Hernandez had no reason to receive a call from ANYONE looking to harass Resin Forge. This is most likely an unrelated incident, and if you read the description of the complaint, it says that the Miss Hernandez in the report was called and texted over 50 times by the "known suspect". So if this is truly what Stephanie is referring to in her post, please inform me as to who this suspect is, as she clearly knows who it is by the police report. Or you could realize that you're grasping at straws. I fully support Stephanie filing a police report about this situation, that way both Dakka members and Resin Forge can figure who that is, and we can settle this. 1 call from a lone person does not mean an entire website is harassing you with death threats. And like I asked, where is the email death threat?
Good lord, Tallon's attempt to butcher the English language is far worse than Daniel's. I tried reading it and gave up. Are most of his followers that poor at understanding the basic requirements of writing?

You mean like the burn Facebook account that posted something nasty that was then shared on the RF page, for which Dakka was also blamed and no evidence provided?
To be frank, I don't think there has been one example of something Resin Forge has done that doesn't have a feeling of deception and evasion about it.
Business phone number that is a mobile.
No business registration -- lies about why not.
A C&D from a "German law form" that was advertising as a security consultant and turned out to be a fake company. Later said by RF to have contacted them in order to scam them of $103 which they recovered through eBay.
The whole thing about the Horus weekender and the photos.
Relentless editing of the FaceBook page to remove embarrassing queries, while the shop site fails to be updated.
Here's my question...
In the 4th section of the link above, there's something called "SETS AND PASSES."
In that section, we see this:

Who is the "Associated Name?" Would Samuel Roganstein be his lawyer? That's not another alias. Is it?
Eric
Interestingly the original police report filed by Daniel Mandelbaum doesn't show a DoB but does list his age as 28 and according to the above points and DoB would make him 29 now, so it's either a massive coincidence or he is indeed Daniel Keaton Mandelbaum. There seems to be too many coincidences around this whole sorry scenario.
Oh and BTW Happy Birthday Daniel for last week, hope Kimanie got you something nice.
Apparently it was, but there has been no proof that any of us did send such things.
Not "apparently". "Allegedly" if anything as there is not even proof of a threat. Or how anybody from should actually have found out Stepkim's secret home number Or what would have been the point apart from giving RF another very convenient pretext to close shop (again)

Let's not forget waffling about the identities given, false names, editing of screenshots and false accusations on a group of ~70k people as if it was one person. Even their own Mod lasted 3 days and ended up confused as hell.
purplefood wrote:Who sent death threats?
That wasn't any of us was it?
Without saying whether there was a death threat, however conveniently timed to other damning information it was, Resin Forge, Stephanie Hernandez and Daniel Mandelbaums statement is the equivalent to this:
'Guys, MajorTom here... I have terrible, disturbing news.
Somehow, Daniel Mandelbaum and Stephanie Hernandez and their evil minions got hold of my personal phone number. One of them called me late last night and made threats against me, my family and my life. I am so sick and tired of their lies and BS I will be closing my Dakka account for fear of my own safety. They threatened my kids guys. Their future. It's not a joke anymore. After a very ominous and personal tirade, I was left shaken to the core.
They said that if I didn't consolidate my credit, I would pay so much interest that I would be broken financially. They are going to take all my monies and my children will starve to death. Death! I hung up on them before they could finish.
ResinForge and all their customers are demons out to stalk and hurt me, every single last one of them is hell bent on destruction and pain and I will not tolerate it.
Before closing my Dakka account I will be selling a great deal of my personal hobby stuff that I have accrued from ebay and other sources and also my PS3. If interested please PM me.
Once all my stuff is sold I will re-open my Dakka account and continue on a few hours later.
Thank you, and remember, Resin Forge eats children.'
Lol, ya, but it is also perhaps more 'evidence' than RF offered that Dakka had anything, anything at all to do with the completely uncorroborated call /threat.
That is of course on the false premise that Dakka is a gestalt entity to begin with.

As the owner of Bitzbox I wish to apologise for the comment left on my page this morning. Resin Forge have been very clever in giving me their side of the story for the last few months and making out everyone on Dakka to have a vendetta against them and I should have not have been so foolish to believe them or research the whole story for myself. I have kept myself distant from the whole affair so had no idea of it's seriousness.
It seems that RF and their followers have been posting about their 'closure' almost everywhere on Facebook, and whether this is to gain sympathy or start more hassle, I don't know, nor do I care. The person in question has been banned from my page, as I'm sure they have from several others also, and all comments have been deleted.

Craig, that is pretty classy of you to come here and say that, thank you very much. As I have always suspected, most people who unreservedly support RF really didn't look at the evidence amassed over the course of years here and elsewhere. But that is Mandelbaums trick, playing the victim is something he does better than anyone I have ever seen either in reality or fiction.
I am extremely gratified that you found the evidence sufficient to raise the alarm and also that you took the time too look. This thing with RF is not something to be 'won', there is no real victory to be had. All we want, or have ever wanted, is to make sure that that they can't hide behind aliases or do business without people at least being able to know what they may be getting into. I would imagine most people would, as you have, find the track-record disturbing enough to think twice on examination. We just hope most take the time to take a quick look here or elsewhere before they spend their money or give their personal information over.
Thank you again, I really appreciate it and I am sure these other gentlemen do too.

Craig,
Thank you for taking the time and having the guts to come and apologize. It's easy to reach the wrong conclusion when confronted with only one side of a conflicting incident, or in Mandelbaum's case, years and years of (alleged) incidents...
Glad you have redacted your statement and no harm, no foul.

Don't forget that many, including myself, also defended Mandelbaum at points. He is a manipulator devoid of morality, don't be so quick to hold a grudge on those he fools. These people are also victims of lies, don't forget it!
Classy post Craig / BitzBox, thanks for making the time to come here and say that! It is appreciated and no harm done at all... In fact quite the opposite
As the owner of Bitzbox I wish to apologise for the comment left on my page this morning. Resin Forge have been very clever in giving me their side of the story for the last few months and making out everyone on Dakka to have a vendetta against them and I should have not have been so foolish to believe them or research the whole story for myself. I have kept myself distant from the whole affair so had no idea of it's seriousness.
It seems that RF and their followers have been posting about their 'closure' almost everywhere on Facebook, and whether this is to gain sympathy or start more hassle, I don't know, nor do I care. The person in question has been banned from my page, as I'm sure they have from several others also, and all comments have been deleted.
I am deeply sorry for any offense that has been caused by my comment.
Regards, Craig
Craig, that is pretty classy of you to come here and say that, thank you very much. As I have always suspected, most people who unreservedly support RF really didn't look at the evidence amassed over the course of years here and elsewhere. But that is Mandelbaums trick, playing the victim is something he does better than anyone I have ever seen either in reality or fiction.
I am extremely gratified that you found the evidence sufficient to raise the alarm and also that you took the time too look. This thing with RF is not something to be 'won', there is no real victory to be had. All we want, or have ever wanted, is to make sure that that they can't hide behind aliases or do business without people at least being able to know what they may be getting into. I would imagine most people would, as you have, find the track-record disturbing enough to think twice on examination. We just hope most take the time to take a quick look here or elsewhere before they spend their money or give their personal information over.
Thank you again, I really appreciate it and I am sure these other gentlemen do too.
+1 to this. Amen. Respect for Bitzbox definitely went up here. There's no shame to be had to admit that you made a mistake. RF is dragging everyone else down into the dirt with them that they can, and all they're doing is hurting the reputations of small businesses such as your own. There's a quote that goes something like, "once bitten, twice forewarned". Those scammed by RF would be less likely to purchase from small businesses in the industry anymore.
startsarcasm.Also, HEY GUYS! I found a way for GW to close down ALL THEIR FOES! Just make a death threat. I should be hired by GW by now. /endsarcasm
And I sixth this (did I get the right number? lol)
1) I fully join in the condemnation of any threats of violence.
2) I also suggest calling the police if somebody threatened you.
Craig: no need to apologise.
Sorry for replying quite strongly on your wall, but I know you 're a decent and fair chap.
Where else has Tallon posted then? Any ideas? Think I feel a trawl pointing out salient facts coming on....

Just so you know, while I'm not a frequent customer, I am a customer and FB liker, and Bitz Box was very definitely on my 'list' of companies I am happy to use depending on price and availability. In light of that comment left on FB, that all changed.
Your post here has reassured me that yours is a company I'm still happy to deal with, you did the right thing.

Check his FB likes. He has War Store, Spikey Bits, BoLS, etc on there.

Is he for or against DakkaDakka or Resin Forge?
The general gist is "Dakka Bad, RF Good!" However I didnt read it either because after trying to navigate the Texas Legal Code for small businesses yesterday I am avoiding any "Wall O' Text.." for a while..
Even then, for 2300 likes getting a response of 36 posts to your swan song shows there is not much of a real following for them and how artificially inflated the like numbers are.

Last time I did it for another project I was working on, it was $5 for 500 likes. Not too expensive.
all this crap is just nonsense. I wish resin forge would just fade into the night so we can move on to the next scam. This bs was fun for the first day or 3 but is just tiresome. I can only assume that the person who made the death threat ID'd themselves as a poster on Dakka right? How else would it be dakka's fault? Correlation and causation and all the good stuff.

In all likelihood, there was no death threat call. Fingers are being pointed for the sake of being pointed. Allegedly. (Man, that word is getting a LOT of mileage)

Of course there was no death threat. You think RF would call the cops to report some upsetting posts about their "business model" but then would NOT call the cops for a death threat? Yeah, sure. Giant pile of BS. Just put it in the same folder as the racist remarks etc. Smokescreen, nothing else.

Besides, if Stephakim were to call 911 we might just find out that her address is very similar to a certain person that she has nothing to do with.
That's just speculation of course, but who knows...
Resin Forge is now closed. There are no plans to repoen. We want to thank all of our loyal customers and wish them the best in finding bits for the future! To all others, the harassment will stop one way or another.
Resin Forge is a one stop shop for all things resin. We cater specifically to converters and conversionists who like making their own customs models. Currently we are focusing on Forge World bits, straight out of the bag for those that need one of two specific bits but not the entire kit.
We apolgoize for the lack of section pictures. We were asked by GW to remove them and did so.
I also haven't seen any evidence of a Business ID number, attendance at Forge World's open day, or the divestment of Daniel Mandelbaum or his wife from the Resin Forge Store.
I also haven't seen Kronk Kronkington post on their facebook page, so I guess he's still baned from it.
Now, the video that was posted by 'Kim' had a bird squawking in it, the squawking was being made by a conure, a type of parrot. It has also been alleged that Stephanie/Kimberly Hernandez was or is Mandelbaum's wife.
Interesting, this is Mortachai Hernandez Mandelbaum, a conure parrot. He had a myspace page all his own at some stage. A google search for Hernandez Mandelbaum turns up his very regal photo.
They live for a long time. 20-30 years.
I have now positively identified the bird noises in the background of 'Kim's video' as belonging to a conure parrot. It's a give away with the double-sounded squawking, pitch etc.
This would give serious credence that the woman in the video, 'Kim', is his ex/current wife and partner in crime, Stephanie 'Kim' Hernandez.
And how distanced is Mandelbaum from the company when his squeeze is now the front?
Not. They are busted... how much more does anyone need to see through this BSlol... how many Mandelbaum Hernandez unions are out there, where one has a bird fetish and owns this specific kind?
Come on. Stephanie, nice try with the whole Kim alias attempt, we know who you are, and we know your real name. You and Daniel certainly seem to belong together though.
You guys don't really think this girl is running the company at all do ya? It's more like "Hi honey, I'm gonna hit record on my camera so please read this real quick. Thanks, you're a peach. I'll get you flowers tomorrow if someone buys something."
More interesting in that connection are the costumes in the video background (not to mention the mask). How many theater/ dance/ show groups might there be in Dallas?
P.S.: that thing with the bird identification is a joke, no? This is turning more and more into some kind of freak show...

The mask may not be relevant. It could be picked up in New Orleans, which is the state to the east of Texas, as part of a Mardi Gras celebration she attended. It could even be home made. Hobby Lobby and plenty of other places sell the materials necessary to make your own.
I thought so too... google 'Hernandez Mandelbaum' though... quick before they take it down lol, just like La Petite Gamine and all the other smoking guns...
Sometimes you wonder how many identities a couple would need, this one already racked up quite an astonishing number. Probably will have to make an extra attachment to the summary just with aliases...
This ambiguous account information is definitely criminal. A company has to have a clear public owner. Should be able to be looked up in any public records, along with that owner is an operation address.
If anyone wanted to know the real result a simple consult with the local court should be more than ample to yield the correct results or point you in the correct direction.
As a computer forensic analyst my humble opinion is this is low grade cyber identity fraud. People shouldn't be able to play as other people. Hacking paypal would be quite the feat they have ample protection.
After reading this thread I feel like the actions are criminal that their isn't a clear person owning this, and that Dakka was given an empty C&D letter (Well written and all that.)
Who owns the company ,I don't care, but people who create fake websites to create fake C&D are people that need a good lesson.
A pity that things on the internet don't stay dead, eh? The paper trail is worst online.
I'm with cormadepanda that this ought to be escalated. I'm pretty sure cyber fraud is a cyber crime, as well as having an unregistered, illegal business.

PS, anyone heard from AJ recently?
Not to mention Cyber crimes tend to have a much heavier toll than real world crimes. This should be taken seriously dakka.
Well that settles it Stephanie Hernandez Mandelbaum.
You people really are the worst of the worst, I really don't know how you manage to look at yourselves in the mirror. Liars. Thieves. Scammers.
Panda, if you know how to escalate this legally, please let us know or do so. I repeat as before, only the proper legal authorities should deal with these people.
But at this point yes, it would definitely be good to see them receive the attention they deserve from the authorities.
Chalk one up for the good guys, good work people.
If anyone wants to pass this along to the resin forge zombies, it's pretty hard to argue with, if it was overwhelming before it is now into the territory where I think many of their 'supporters' will be furious to find out Dakka and the other people out there fighting to protect the community were right all along.
The lesson here is, if Daniel Mandelbaum is involved in any way shape or form, NEVER, EVER trust anything, ANYTHING that comes out of said company or individual, 9 times out of 10, it will be lies, he will lie even if there is no point.
Not that I don't applaud the effort; but I'm not really convinced those are the same rooms; but the parrot video is from 2011. And the voice...the voice of RF's "face/mask"
REALLY??? cmon man, wood wall, rack of clothes, brit glad and some other posters the same, some changed, same skin color and build on the hand, same artificial only lighting, same size room... gimme a break dude...
Not necessarily the same room. But possibly the same stuff (people can move, and there's a possibility that KH/SH moved to Texas). Pure speculation. And lots of coincidences. Not saying it's the same person, merely raising similarities. Allegedly.
*screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech*
