Link seems broken: I only see some kidknapper style video where I can't make out the demands because of all the screetching

You can search Texas businesses online here, but you need a resident address in the USA.

I'm still surprised that this totally legit video and message is nowhere to be found on their Facebook site. Can't believe that Kim wouldn't want to share this profound message with her followers...

I have searched the Texas State taxable entity system about 2 weeks ago (without having a US residency btw, the information is freely available) for any name I could think of related to RF or any of the current/previous owner(s) and nothing appeared. Unless they are an entity that is DBA "Resin Forge Store" then Resin Forge was never registered with the state of Texas to do business. If they are DBA "Resin Forge Store" (or some variation) then there never ever should have been a reason to not provide a legal entity name. It gives absolutely zero personal information. It merely allows the business to be searched for in the registries.

For those asking for a Registration number, it will not provide you with owner names; merely that the business is registered as "insert name here". Since there is/was no registered business showing up under any conceivable name related to Resin Forge or it's current/previous owners .. well, see what I already said.

Kim : To state you are going to "release a video to address concerns" and then provide that .. pile of gak .. gives simply yet another "promise" that has been reneged on. The list of lies grows substantially and at this point is quite frankly unrecoverable. You have customers though, so I guess it's all good. Go, register, IGNORE the haters and do business legally and properly and you just might break even.

Warone;
Read back through the thread. Amongst there is the conversation on just how 'legitimate' the 2k likes are for RF (here's a clue: they're easily bought).
There's nothing legitimate about MandleBonder in the slightest.

I'm legitimately afraid to watch the video, after reading everyone's reaction to it, lol.

Just don't have your earphones too loud. The birds..

Nothing to be afraid of, Sid.

It was just weird, didn't answer anything, and poorly done.

Kim/Steph,

- Please provide RF's business registration number - or admit that it was/is operating illegally. Either you have it or you don't, you don't need weeks to figure an answer out.
- Please definitive proof 2 people went to the HH weekender, via pics and corroborative evidence. Saying it is impossible to show any evidence whatsoever without compromising personal information is bs and since it has been proved RF has photo manip software despite claiming not to, let's just dispense with the run-around. Black out the personal info, just provide the evidence that should be there regardless.
- Please provide the alleged previous business registration number proving the business was co-owned and registered to Daniel Mandelbaum, StephaKim Hernandez and Jason whatever. This was something you yourself publicly stated you had, and the number exists to verify your legal conduct. Please provide it, with a date. This is an obligation of a Texas business. Either that or admit that RF was/is operating illegally.

Edit: Also, the birds were really loud, La Petite Gamine, who (allegedly) ADMITTED on Forge World's Facebook page that she was Daniel Mandelbaum's wife. Or was that another lie (allegedly), Kim/Steph?

To be fair, some of those likes are legit-I personally know two people who like the place, hung out with one of them last night. Forgot to warn him too.

Did anyone else hear the kid in the background at approximately 52 seconds? Like right as she sort of shakes her head and quickly ends the video.

Also I finally created an account so I could post

Well they did keep their promise I suppose. A video was uploaded. I didn't see it addressing many legitimate questions though.

Why are you all complaining about the video? Seriously guys, do you hate birds or something? I thought it was a great example of the beautiful sounds of birds chirping in captivity. They should submit it to National Geographic or the Discovery channel.

Guys can we post a warning on the video ???? I watched it before i had gone through your posts and spat a large quantity of tea over my computer

WARNING!! The bird in this video makes extremely nonsensical sounds that can cause confusion and irritation!! Also there is some kind of screeching animal in the background.

Oh wow, that made me chuckle quite a bit.

I can't even take RF seriously anymore, but maybe that's what their going for.

You can; his stuff is pretty top notch. When I get home tonight I will PM you his Photobucket.

I noticed. In fact, I was reading through the last few pages of the thread, surprised that nobody mentioned this.

So, here's what we know/believe we know from the video and before:

Before:
Confirmed that Stephanie/Kim was involved with MandelBonder at one time or another.
Painting/Modelling supplies in the background or what looks to be a very large closet or very small room.
We have a claim that DanMatt's son (as Matthew Bonder) died, as did his ("Matthew's) wife.
We have a woman who has STATED ON FW'S SITE that she is DanMatt's wife.
We have a video that shows a slender brunette with glasses (if you watch the eyes, you'll see) that appear to be a STRONG prescription, as her eyes look magnified/way too large for her head (That is not in insult, just an observation.
A video with birds chirping in the background of a video we believe to have been made by a woman whose Facebook page has a TON of bird focused things posted.
Near the end of the video, we can hear a child being loud (as children do) from a distance (likely a different room), at which point she hurriedly finishes the video, appearing to be cutting herself off. This gives me the impression that the kid was saying something she did not want us to hear or that she was worried that we'd hear a voice in the background she/they did not want us to hear.

I am NOT surprised by the mask. Had she not used it, we could have likely taken a screen shot and done a reverse Google search for images that looked like her, thereby discovering more details about her and DanMatt.

Why is this a failure? between me and my housemates we had a few union jacks, an old glory, a chinese flag, a german flag (and while I didn't approve of these, several german flags from WW2), and the hammer and sickle... We're all American.

Hey everyone, sorry for the late reply had a long day at the store and car problems after.

I'd just like to take a moment to inform all of you that I will not be posting in this thread for a while.
It is not that I am not interested in seeing justice done and resolving the issue, but that I have no new information to share at this time.
I will say though, if I obtain any information I will share it with the community.
I will still moderate the facebook page and manage posts and content to the site.

I will however be an active user on these forums, namely in the project logs. Expect a log in the next few days.
If you have any need of me, please feel free to PM me.

Thank you to those who defended my identity and warmly welcomed to Dakka.

Best of luck
Happy modeling

Hi Aj, You do seem to be a nice bloke, so I am sorry to say the following.....

Before you disappear. As the person who is now linked with RF and bought us the news of Kim doing the video to help clear a few things up and a new start to the RF company. Can you comment on said video?

I see no reason why you can't make a comment. Unless youre making a run for it.

If someone tried to hang a "WW2 Era German Flag" in a house I was living in there would be profound issues, if you mean what I think you mean.

I meant MM forgot to mention the UJ and the failure was him ... bad joke and no offense intended MM.

OT: That video was a ... mind-blowing EPIC fail. Even if I had never heard of RF and had only the video to judge them by ... I would not trust them with my dog .... and I don't even have a canine of any sort!

So between bird mating calls, I noticed something specific about the way she talked.

If you notice she remains as monotone as possible, and moves her mouth as little as possible. She was attempting to disguise her teeth, specifically, as she tried to make sure her lips were as closed as possible when she said words/syllables that would expose them.

+1 To noticed the glasses, I wouldn't have noticed it without a quadruple watching.

To note the child in the background. The voice of it was coming closer, so the probability of this being done at whoever this truly is' house is a high likelihood, another is that for the majority of the time the video is being done, the reader is just that, reading a cue of text off to the side, which, isn't a disparging remark, but simply one that is good to note for analysis of the video.

That could easily just be the way she talks ...

It could very well be! It just seemed exceptionally pronounced. Need more samples to compare it too! With less Amazonian Rainforest background.

The tone and syntax of her way of talking are the same on the video as on the voice message that was left .she wouldn't need to hide her teeth on the voice message so I would say its just her own strange way of talking.

Or she was reading a script on both.....

Well, that at least fixed that, on my end! It was just relatively odd to me. Thanks!

Well, she obviously was reading the text from the screen. Well, before she said "Hey Daniel, can you look after the child?" in the off

And I thought GW marketing was weird

Reading a script in a recorded video is fine I think. Would have preferred more actual info in the script, but there being one is not itself a problem.
