I think the clothes comparison, as it sits, is wrong. The room would have to have been entirely moved around. The clothes in the reflection are on the wrong side of the flag for it to be the same set up.

One thing to take note of is that different webcams sometimes reverse the image that they record...

@MagickalMemories (and Aerethan): ca. two years between the bird video and the RF video...

One thing to take note of is that different webcams sometimes reverse the image that they record...

The bird video (and all other videos in that account) was shot with a normal point and shoot digicam (you can see that in another sequence of the video when the hand holding the camera moves into the mirror view. Can't say much about the RF video. But the pattern of the mirror frame pretty much speaks for itself (not to mention the immediate deletion of the whole channel ).

At this point, I would say that DM and SH have caused the obit to come to light. Its their lack of openness that caused people to start digging. No one has said anything bad about mom or other siblings. And remember, it was DM that involved mom in a previous scam. He started this himself. Everyone involved was because of his actions alone.

FIRE UP THE PITCHFORKS, WE'RE GOING IN!

Seriously, whilst the Obit. is salient information, it's also a a little uncomfortable for me as some of DM's complaints stemmed from the referencing of his late mother.

Though I am reminded that in the 'Hive Mind' burn account posting, mention was made of his mother again - let's not drag her or children into this please?

Agreed

You're quite right, but we don't need to stoop to his odious level to prove the case. The video, the emails, the phone calls all evidence the relationship (I think) enough.

Dakka as a community needs to hold its collective head up high above the fecal matter that is Daniel's common home.

I had a thought at work today: Watch for new "scratch built" Apoc war machines. Khorne LoB, Nurgle plague towers, Thunderhawks etc.....
The reason I say this is twofold. He knows we'll be watching for FW bits, so he may lay low on those for a bit(or use them to create things to sell).
But as Matt Bonder, he sold scratch builds as his bread n butter, and with a new Apoc push hitting it just seems like it might be low hanging fruit for him.

Pictures reflected in mirrors tend to be flipped around.... But deletion of the account says more as has already been noted.

DakkAnon, we are legion?

If they would spend half as much effort being legit as they do trying to deflect, then the problem would be solved.

If they spent half their effort being legit, we'd all be buying from them and praising them. We all know the good work Daniel is capable of.

It really does boggle the mind. He could have be making money hands over fist, but instead he does the voodoo he do?

Being a bad converter and builder is pretty much the only thing nobody has ever accused him off. His great skills are the reason he continues to be able to resurrect as a new business over and over again.

He only fails because of his bad business practices and attitude.

He doesn't have bad business practices, he has criminal ones. It's not negligent, it's intentional what he does. 'Allegedly'.

There is a huge difference and let's not water down the truth here and imply he is just kinda goofy and that's the problem.

He's not. He's a liar and a schemer, and is not to be trusted, ever.

For folks who are comparing the pictures- there was obviously a lot more that could be seen when the entire video was up, and it's deletion is obvious proof of the connection. And of course the name of the bird (Mortachai and Morty). Just the existence of a picture that is labelled "Mortachai Hernandez Mandelbaum" shows the connection, even if the owner of the videos hadn't deleted them all as soon as it was mentioned in this thread.

If you want to see the bird picture for yourself, just google "Hernandez Mandelbaum" and click on the first pic in google images. It's also the first search result in normal google (a now deleted MySpace page). Check it out:

http://google.com//#q=Hernandez+Mandelbaum

Really, nothing more needs to be said there and people don't need to look into it further, imo. The connection has been shown... the only point of anyone following up was to verify that Stephanie / Kim Hernandez and Daniel Mandelbaum are connected. As they obviously are, that's enough, I think.

According to Facebook, SH has closed the store and lays the blame fully at Dakkas feet. She claims to have received a phoned in death threat that couldn't be traced. Obviously, another Dakka member.

It was noted a couple pages past, but I'm sure anyone who missed it is thankful for the info. Don't worry, I don't think anyone on here is dumb enough to phone in a death threat to her/him. At least I hope nobody on here is. It's likely another lie. Allegedly. There's that word again...anyone "hearing" an echo?

I agree that the chances of it being a lie are high, but I disagree that no one here is dumb enough to phone a death threat. Over the years, I have seen some really stupid things said on several forums, this one included. Dakka does not have an IQ restriction.

No it's not impossible for sure that's true. But there is no proof at all. It could be a lie (likely even given the source), there is nothing to prove it was one of us, and even if it was it wasn't 'Dakka' it was one person of 70000. The rest of us condemn the act if it happend, and do not endorse or encourage it in any way shape or form. Putting 'Dakka' as the source is in and of itself completely unsustainable as an accusation on multiple levels.

It's just victim smoke screening as usual from the mandelbaum gang, Daniel, Stephanie and Mordecai.

I disapprove of blaming Morty for this.

The wood framing around the mirrors are the same texture and shade. The taupe wall (painted or wall paper ... not sure) is visible above the cute bird's head is the same colour that is reflected in the other picture to the right side of her face. The one thing that does have me wondering though is the wooden shelves that have some things hanging in the one picture does not appear in the picture with the bird (I believe this is correct, will double check).

The double frosting borders on the mirror was the first thing that I noticed that appears in both pictures ... this is a dead giveaway. I have seen plenty of frosted edges on mirrors in other peoples houses, I have yet to see a double frosted border on a single mirror in real life. To see the same mirror in two pictures with the same name attached to it ...means they are the same.

It is the rapid removal of the evidence from the Internet following discovery here that is the most convincing thing.

Missing the elemental question: where would somebody have her secret home number from? Hm? Certainly not from dakka as dakka doesn't have it. Unless SH/KH lives in Daniel's house. RF didn't even admit to an address, nevermind a phone number

The one thing that does have me wondering though is the wooden shelves that have some things hanging in the one picture does not appear in the picture with the bird (I believe this is correct, will double check).

Repeating myself: 2 (two years) between the two videos.

The obit was actually the first point to prove their relationship as that had been revealed way back when he used his mothers identity to run eBay accounts and things from. There's wasn't digging as such, it was old info.

Mandelbaum's mother came into the overall affair when she, or he pretending to be her, started to operate one of his earlier businesses a few years ago.

Mandelbaum also originally shared the link about his mother himself- no one went digging for it. It's how we found out his name is Mandelbaum... the rest is dominoes from there.

Usually, by continuing to make up excuses he actually digs himself a deeper hole- also evidenced by his putting his ex or current significant other up to doing the video with the mask in this case. We would have no real idea about that person, except his trying to use them to cover his tracks. So it is all his own doing.

What amazes me is the amount of people on FB that are boo hooing over their shutting down and just cursing Dakkas existence. People are morons to not be able to see that DM is a crooked SOB with all the evidence gathered to date. Every major gaming forum has at least one thread about this crook. Several have covered this most recent attempt by him. And still they rally round and join the whining about RF being shut down.

Personally, I am happy they are gone, if for no other reason than their initials were the same as my company, Rust Forge. I would hate it if people got confused about the names.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to blame people if they don't come on forums and have simply been misled by Daniel Aliasbaum.

People could come on the forums to read the story and make up their mind after seeing the whole thing from two different angles.

But there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Bitzbox did, remember? I don't know, there's no reason for them to want to come here and read it if RF has basically told them that all we do here is stalk, threaten, flame, and harass.

Why believe him, though?

I can see how people are fooled by a plausible bit of social engineering -- i.e. clever lies -- but how plausible is it that "a forum" has got someone's ex-directory phone number, issued death threats, and the threatened person has not contacted the police? Haven't you got to be rather simple to be taken in by such an unlikely story?

Isn't there something basically strange in the idea that "a forum" would decide to harass a bits company for no reason?

Don't people want to look at things for themselves?

People like to root for the underdog. They don't want pesky "facts" to get in the way of that because everyone cheers a martyr. I wish that was just cynicism.
