Straying Off Topic again, but best wishes to your buddy Kronk.

Back OT - nothing from RF since the little flurry yesterday - could it be he's gone underground?

He is most likely waiting for those images to get sent out, too bad we can't see what this image is before it hits the net.

The question would be more: where will they turn up. Considering all big (English speaking) forums have banned him or at least all discussions or mentioning of the whole affair. He does not really strike me as being big with foreign languages. So you would really expect that his followers would expose themselves by opening threads to post whatever pictures he wants them to post?

Or you think he will hope on reddit after already pissing people there off before? You wouldn't think he will go to 4chan, now THAT would be hilarious

It was either you or Dreadclaw that posted some links on reddit from Resin Forge, he's already ticked off some people...

t was either you or Dreadclaw that posted some links on reddit from Resin Forge, he's already ticked off some people...

That's what I meant. They are not exactly known to be forgiving people. So I'd hazard the guess that the target will be Facebook hobby group and pages.

Let's not dwell on that too much, let him deal with others as he will but let's keep things as straight and narrow on Dakka as we can...

That being said, I don't think it has been directly pointed out that Mandelbaum asserts both his mother, and ex-girlfriend/wife are involved in the hobby as resellers and converters absent his involvement lol... that makes absolute sense. Then he does not acknowledge the 7+ aliases he used to hide himself either... nothing this guy does or says makes any kind of sense. Just keep watching him flail around like a landed fish spitting lies to try and save himself -

Resin Forge Store
*** Update ***

The store webpage at www.resinforge.com will remain up. It however has had the shopping cart feature removed, so there will be no checkouts. This is done so we can easily inventory what items we have left. Any other ideas on why this is being done is a rumor, hear say or just plain wrong.

The Facebook page here will not close. It will get a new set of admins to simply post interesting things in regards to resin. With that said, it will be around 2 weeks before we can find the right admins to run the site as a fluff site and not use it as a store front. In the meantime to that, we WILL be selling units already built for the store. In the end it does not matter how built them except the fact thay WERE built with Resin Forge products and thus, they belong to Resin Forge.

If you have been active here and feel you can help simply add new content as an admin, that would be great. Just send a PM here. We may or may not change this pages name. Again all we ask is to be left alone so we can complete our tasks. We do not need or want any harassment.

Lex, This part is probably pointless but Lex, we have unbanned your personal account. Send us a PM as its the only way us 2 can talk direct. We are willing to a extent, share what info and documents we have on everything posted here. We just want to drama to stop. (offers out hand as a first step)

A current list of what hasn't sold unit wise will be put up there in a comment once this is all wrote.

Resin Forge transforms into a "fluff page"? Every time when we think there can't be any more surprised, we are proven wrong.


Talking directly and it private? Sudden change of minds are always suspicious. We think we prefer public communication. Much safer. But there are other people who extended an offer for private communication, if wished for.

By the way, still not acknowledging who built the models. Dancing around questions, as always before, how can you expect any communication based on that?

Resin Forge Store
We got all the help we need, thanks! And again, really people, its nothing bad!

Well, seems as if people were lining up to spread the image then?



So as for starters we think that we'd still like to see pictures of the Horus Heresy weekender.
And we are not going to let ourselves be used to legitimize anything, i.e. we are not interested in anything that is not generally and publicly available for the readers and followers. Enough accusations were made and games were played by you DM/RF, no new round behind the scenes.

It doesn't matter who did the conversions? Really? It mattered a lot to you to pretend Daniel Mandelbaum left the building and moved to Antarctica and you have absolutely zero to do with him. Now you have no option but to admit it is him, he is still involved (some would say 100% involved) and you think you can dictate that it's not important on a whim?

One more grain of a lie on the beach that is Daniel Mandelbaum and Resinforge. It's offensive you think that crap will fly, honestly.

Of course it will fly! This is America!

AMERICA!

The Auld Grump, or he may just fade away in a few weeks like Cook's Choice, only to pop up again like Aminita Muscaria after the rain....

I feel like I'm missing something with MT11's post.

RF wrote 'It doesn't matter who did these conversions' as a dictate in their post. Clearly, by both quality of work and complete and total lack of anything that even remotely makes sense pointing otherwise, the converter is Mandelbaum. After all their hysterics that Mandelbaum was gone and they had nothing to do with him to dismiss his involvement here like it is irrelevant is absolutely ridiculous. Of course it's relevant! lol

Reading the Resin Forge posts it is pretty clear that he is back off the deep end...

And back to the Daniel we know in the shortest time:



- No such things were said, but he has a vivid imagination. At some point somebody should inform a psychiatrist.
- No proof was offered or given, outright lie.

And here it's all our fault again:

- You can start by making a public statement that we were right from the beginning that Daniel Mandelbaum worked for Resin Forge, being an owner.
- You can continue with your claims we liquidated the page of your lawyers.
- Then you can start with your excuses for diverse other things you said.
- Diverse other things to fill out.

And here it's very funny how he tries to defend what he is doing:






Yes, exactly. As usual he was just out to fish for pity and present himself and his three unproven families as the victims. Could take apart every single of his statements, but why bother, everybody knows what is being played. And that's why we can't have nice things. You backstabbing Selfie-taker, you

yet he'd never read dakka again.

Lol, I in fact never accused them of re-casting, in fact, I went out of my way to make clear that in my opinion there was no evidence that I had personally seen that supports that claim and that we should just get off the topic!

Sorry Mandelbaum, I guess you ignored that?

I don't think ResinForge the company had done anything drastically out of order yet, although suspicious things were starting to happen. I don't think or care if they were re-casting.

The issue is that Daniel Mandelbaum also ran good companies under several aliases before this. Everything was fine until it wasn't. Then people got ripped off. He uses aliases. He lies. He harrases.

For a brief second I'm going to pretend that Kim and Jason are actual people and not covers as they are in my opinion here:

You two cannot put it together that by associating yourselves with such a notorious, alias using, lying member of the community that this would cast severe doubt on you two, whether he is still there or not? You were intimately involved with him for years, which meant you knew fine well he had been involved and run several businesses that all suddenly closed shop. If you were interested enough to go into business with him in this hobby you at least had to have a clue he wasn't using his real name if you were aware of his career. You don't get to just pretend you are innocent lambs who just met him the day before he started resin forge (within a week or two of shutting down TSS for 'allegedly' scamming).

You cannot, in any reasonable frame of mind, expect yourselves to be disassociated from Mandelbaum under these circumstances.

Instead of dealing with it head on and addressing the truths you HAVE to know about him and his previous dealings, even if it is only a fraction of them you know there was some shady stuff. There is no his side of the story. He pretended to be Matt Bonder and pretended he couldn't deliver the work he was paid for because fictional wife and child were dying of cancer. That is not in doubt. He pretended to be his own mother, Susan, with me personally and ADMITTED to it to me after he was incontrovertably busted. This is not in doubt.

He used his mother's identity to hide his own to continue doing business in a community he had stolen from, and yet you invoke her name to make us look bad? No one did more dishonor to Susan's name than Daniel did. That is the sad truth, and you need to admit that this behavior was disgusting.

You also can't amalgamate every bad behavior you have ever experienced into one single person called 'Dakka' and then shove responsibility on whomever is convenient at the time. I have never done anything like that horrible letter you received and posted on FB. I have called Daniel a liar, yes, but he is, I'm sorry but that is about as objective and scientific a fact as you can get at this point. You can argue some things don't have 100% proof this is true, like my suspicion Jason and Kim are cover aliases. That's fair and I don't deny it, BUT, you don't get to pretend this is an honest man to be trusted and that there is something wrong with us for being suspicious of him. That will never, ever, fly.

I'm not going to even get into all the dodging of straight questions, the lack of proof despite your claims, and the harrassment RF has engaged in whether or not DM is still there. It's besides the point for this post.

The point is, you can't pretend like everything is hunky-dory. You want to be treated as reasonable? Then BE REASONABLE. DM is not able to be considered an honest individual for aliases alone. You cannot pretend you knew nothing of all this given your long personal history. We will not likely ever agree on everything but if you want to have a dialogue and not feel attacked and doubted at every turn, try a touch of honesty on something, anything. Take responsibility, you have made tons of mistakes. Maybe I have to, but I stand by what I have said and if there ever is real, true proof that I am wrong on something I'll be the first to man up. So far, you have given 50 reasons to doubt the existence of Kim and Jason for every 1 you've given to believe it. Realize that.

I'd like to take this moment to remind the community(before it gets denied) that Kim aka Stephanie Hernandez was in a relationship with Daniel, which is confirmed both on Susans Obit page as well as in picture proof messages from Jason at RF.

There is no way she can claim ignorance of Daniels prior actions.

Kim called me once and left an odd message which I uploaded here. She also called me on Monday, but didn't let me get a single word in before hanging up on me. No discussion took place, no concerns were addressed.

I am not Dakka.

Belgium. The New Germany Oh boy, Daniel has less education than the miniatures he's converting. Or are you so obsessed with the Nazis that Freud got to you?

Plus he will be hard-pressed to fabricate any post of ours saying that RF is a fraudster. I'll go and get something to eat and drink, the next meltdown is coming

And with fake lawyers, good luck with suing, Daniel. By the way, how are things going with your new Danish lawyer? All nice and shiny on your secret consultations?

P.S.: highly entertaining how with each maniac comment he writes some likes disappear

I like how RF keeps saying we are "keeping them from closing" by updating this thread.

They could just ignore it and go quietly. You know how Apple deals with haters? They ignore them.

This thread is not harassment, it's not anything. They choose to read it, to come to this site.

Still no business registration.

Just to stop the confusion on my part;
- Daniel allegedly parted company with Resin Forge roughly two weeks ago
- Daniel is no longer a part of Resin Forge
- Resin Forge's remaining members want to wrap up the store and move on because they had no idea of his alleged past
- Resin Forge are spending a lot of time discussing what happened with Daniel's mother (rest her soul), and in great depth.

For Resin Forge to take this route, after having little to no idea of Daniel's alleged past, and after the negative publicity generated by their associated with this individual, after trying to make good on some of his alleged debts which they knew nothing about, seems a little bit counter productive.

God, I've actually sat and went through his facebook page....

I wouldn't believe the blokes fething radio.

Still no business registration.

And still no Horus Heresy Weekender pics.

He HAS to come back. It's an urge he can't resist. Come, see:
"Narcissists cultivate sources of narcissistic supply in an all-consuming life-long effort. This is why they keep coming back for more."

Narcissistic individuals use various strategies to protect the self at the expense of others. They tend to devalue, derogate and blame others, and they respond to threatening feedback with anger and hostility.

Check.

People who are overly narcissistic commonly feel rejected, humiliated and threatened when criticised. To protect themselves from these dangers, they often react with disdain, rage, and/or defiance to any slight criticism, real or imagined.

Check.


EDIT:


And he is clearly obsessed with Germans. Narcissistic Teutonophobia, intriguing
And of course they don't offer any concrete suggestion how either Dakka or the Lex could actually stop Resin Forge (if they wanted, which is not the case) from delivering goods to their customers. But it's always good to already set up scapegoats for later

At no point, to my knowledge, have RF claimed to know or not know about Daniels past, they never committed to anything. verifiably though, there is no way in heck at the very least Kim was not very, very aware of some of his past. And let's face it, 20% of his past activities are about 2000% worse than the next worst guy. No way to pretend like they thought everything was perfectly on the up and up. Especially as it was a week or two between closing TSS and opening RF, 'they' had to be aware of something going on at the time, it's not like Mandelbaum would have been pre-meditating RF while engaged in another similar business for months ahead of that.

Stay vigilant. Stay safe. Stay Dakka!

Very nice strawman attempt there as well with the Maelstrom reference.

He means apart from the big featurette uncovering with his paypal messages that he faked one of the paypal messages he sent around as "proof"? Yes, Daniel, exchanging one name for another is called faking Gotta find something better than that, Daniel

And that brings into question ALL screenshots he might post, as it's very easy to rewrite the source for a page, save it, and make it look like a legitimate page.

Of course. Making it even more hilarious how (and that is typical Mandelbaum) dumb you have to be to overlook such details in your orchestrated effort to build your Potemkin village. Do you think he considers himself a mastermind?

And no worries. I think apart from his cult followers nobody believes anything anymore. All people new to the discussion will just enter the name in a search engine and guess which is the first search result they will hit on. Yep. Exactly.

As for his teutonophobia: we hope it does not shatter his remaining self confidence if we reveal that the biggest share of our readers come from the US, followed by the UK?



Ah, conspiracy theories again We have HIDDEN all bad posts about him. Yes, that must be the reason why he can't find anything incriminating. And he doesn't even seem to read what he presents as "proof" to his faithful flock. The post he shows does not even contain any mention of DM or RF

Here the text to see and read again, Daniel, and please continue, we here at the Lex HQ (sizeable portion of Team assembled already) are having a good time watching your debate club performance :

You know what the problem for scammers in the miniature trade is? They need physical addresses. And addresses mean there is a data trail.

So since a often mentioned company refused to make a statement whether or not allegations made by a big forum were true (or not), we did not have much choice than to make our own, independent investigation. It took a bit to find somebody who had done trade with said company and who was willing to talk, but we found somebody. This person also swore to all that is sacred that he had not been scammed by said company. After explaining the situation he agreed to give us one of the addresses where he sent his parcels in the past. Since he assumed the company to be legit, there was nothing to hide in his opinion - an opinion that is obviously not shared by the company itself.

So with this address it was a matter of seconds to access publicly and legally accessible municipal data about who was registered there.
And, do you know who? Yes, indeed it was a name that was a 100% fit on one of the four names given in the accusations of the big forum and a name that diverse witnesses mention together with scamming, fraud, harassing, telephone terror etc etc.

So now we have a person with the same name operating from the same city as several well-known scammers. And we have a company which has holed up and refuses to acknowledge that.

So if we were some of the supporters of said company or if we had, let's say given them money to bring us stuff from the Horus Heresy Weekender (by the way: did you even think how much it costs to fly two people from the US to the UK to pick up Forge World stuff?) we would for sure sit down for a second and think:
Maybe, maybe, maybe there is indeed something fishy.

Thank you for your attention, stay safe and be vigilant

P.S.: @the company: report this post as much as you want, we have copies and we have already submitted our findings to Facebook ourselves
