Question: How comes that "Rolljordan Miniatures" is basically one huge platform for Daniel Mandelbaum pictures?!?

https://www.facebook.com/rolljordan.miniatures.3/photos

They seem to have almost nothing apart from Mandelbaum content.




All I can see on Rolljordan is pictures of dwarves or something, not sure how that relates to DM, screencap?


Yes. Mind, I didn't say they UPLOADED them themselves, it was Daniel who used Rolljordan as a picture dump - typical of what he does with the painters and modellers he befriends - just use them as platform for spreading his models.

See here, the ones with yellow stars are the pictures Rolljordan is tagged in by Resin Forge or by Black Crusade Studio. PLus a lot of status updates Daniel shared as one of his aliases on Rolljordan's timeline.

On to this RollJordan Miniatures page... pretty fishy... Am I incorrect to say that the DM facebook account is also posting there, as well as DCF and Alan Welson/BCS?

Are those crappy SoH painted minis actually Mandelbaums?

Might be worth a look around the RollJordan site. I took a glance, but I'm new enough to the hobby that I really wouldn't know what to look for in terms of trouble.

Of course, if it disappears from the internet in the next few hours, I guess we'll know there was something there. Bonus points if it's replaced by pictures of our favourite bird.

Not that you could've possibly forgotten, Tom, but it's probably also worth driving home the continuing inappropriate behaviour regarding calling people dozens of times in the middle of the night.

By "sorting machine" he likely means the automated teller machines at the post office. For some reason, by using these he thinks he insulates himself somehow... possibly by not being able to be identified by a postal employee? Who knows, as you say, Mandelogic lol.

And I fully agree with your post last page, Tom. That was well said. Quoted in spoilers below:

I received this from DM, I found it hilarious (the part in quotes is him quoting me on here, and I bolded the funniest part) –

"I am really of the impression the Daniel Mandelbaum FB account is not him... The work shown... Well he is a scumbag but he is a much more talented converter than the stuff that account is posting. Not 100% but I have serious doubts."

That is some imposter stirring up gak. Ive reported it many times to no avail. ive also come across others as well. Note the blank profile, not liking RF itself, and only liking the main things off my page.
You can say whatever you want about me but making fake accounts all with my name to cause troll drama is not one of them. Im busy with Resin Forge which btw, go ahead and keep your eagle eye on it. I bet you cash money you see no problems with it.


I have reported this many times but to no avail??? LOL, oh! I’m so sorry for you! You have my greatest sympathies that must be terrible!

Let me spell something out for you Neil Young’s Crazy Horse, the fact I am honest enough to say I didn’t think the DM account was you in no way reflects well on you. Let’s go through a few things here shall we?

1. Identity
- The fact you swore up and down that you would be transparent and use your real name, yet you are just hiding behind another alias in the form of Daniel Charlie Frank is a bloody joke. You have not put Daniel Mandelbaum on anything to do with Resin Forge, STILL. Which makes you a liar in several different ways.
- Just this week, you were conclusively proven to be Alan Weslon, something most everyone already knew but you continue to deny, right past you bs suicide threats and your California address and your pretending to be part of the community over there. You are a liar, you are BCS, and BCS was and is a scam.

2. Resin Forge being ‘Legit’, or unrelated to BCS
- Resin Forge is not legit because Resin Forge is you. You are running scams and false identities right up til now. You think because you were wearing a BCS hat this month it means that Resin Forge is A-ok? Get real Mandelbaum. Resin Forge is a cess-pit of bs, from all the owners that weren’t there, to the TWO business registration numbers you claimed to have but never produced, to the HH weekender you never attended, to the absolute BS that you were completely out and bought out 3 months ago yet here you are the sole owner again.
- You sent out messages all over that you were about to be evicted and you needed to sell your old stock immediately and wanted to re-open RF to do it. You immediately, instead of advertising your old stock, start advertising stuff that is pre-release or just released. You can’t afford to order it according to yourself. Yet you on your page say you are ordering thousands of $ worth of items by my count, you aren’t even trying to sell your old stuff. So, who is paying for it? Customers who think they are ordering stuff you have, that’s who. So, looks like another Ponzi scheme to me. And you lied about being evicted too.
- You are still yet to explain or produce any evidence that you had those 3D warhound files, either you have them, which means you have stolen goods, or you don’t have them, which means that it was as pure a scam as any you ever ran. This was a month ago, and it was you. Resin Forge is being run by a lying scammer. Therefore, Resin Forge is not trustworthy in the slightest.
- Not the least which to mention you have yet to produce a business number for ResinForge with your name on it either.

3. Hypocrisy
- You complain this guy who made the DM fb account (something I would agree you would never do because hey, it would be truthful and you might die of allergic shock) is an imposter and stirring up gak, and is just there to cause troll drama. You bloody hypocrite. How many aliases have you used? Over a dozen, at the least! How many have you used to cause troll drama? Every single last one. Every one. You run around with your skirt up in the air screaming it isn’t you (proven every time it was), that you are being harassed (by people simply saying the truth of who you are), that you are an honest dude while you are lying about everything about who you are and what you are selling, and that you receive death threats from ‘Dakka’ or the German Nazi ‘Inquisitor S’, who is Belgian.
- Speaking of Death threats, there is only one confirmed threat in this entire ‘game’, and that’s from you my friend, or, at least, your ‘dad’. You have produced nothing, NOTHING, to prove any of your BS claims.
- You sent said threat because I said you used your mother as an alias. You DID use your mother as an alias. TO ME. And you ADMITTED IT, in writing, when I busted you towards the end of that whole Lord.Serpius fiasco. Other than that, I have never said anything about your mother except to offer condolences about her passing. I have even told other people to not speak badly of her when they would do things like question her for raising you. I’m not an animal, it would be to no benefit and completely uncalled for to say anything bad about her, and, even if I think you are a scum-bag, you still lost your mom and no matter what I think of you in this hobby, as a human being that is nothing to use to hurt someone. I wouldn’t do it. Yet you send me psycho messages that I am doing something wrong or I have been dragging her name through the mud. By doing what? You admitted yourself, twice, she was involved (2nd time you said you brought her into the business, first time that it was just you and you got her to pose for the pictures that’s all), and that’s all I’ve ever said. So, I know it’s nice to wave your mother around to make me look like a jerk, but really, all you are doing is continuing to sully her name with that BS, so YOU stop, just accept that if she is mentioned as an alias of yours, it’s all on you and no one is attacking HER.

So, please spare me your ‘Your spot on’ crap. I don’t support you. I don’t believe in you. I think you and RF are still nothing but poison in this hobby. Just because I was honest doesn’t mean I believe any of your crap. You have come clean about nothing. You continue to lie and scam. Resin Forge is a terrible front for you, and everyone will know it if they don’t already. I hope you enjoyed this reality check brought to you by the residents of wargaming community.

As for his selling things, even if he has, it's irrelevant. He always delivers on some things, it helps cover his leading others on in the background by being able to hold up an example or two of a successful delivery. Although in this case, it's more likely that he's just blowing smoke. Doesn't matter either way, you'd have to be certifiably insane to order from him

RollJordan is legit...
they have been around for years, producing their own minis, holding painting contests, and selling stuff...
last trade i made with them was back in 2008...
i traded an original MkI Land Raider for some unreleased topless Vect slave girls (to go with my unreleased Malekith on foot)...
totally legit casts, and easy guys to deal with...
i also bought Horus and The Emperor off them around the same time, as well as Sad Girl and Toxic Girl...
it's a whole crew of sculptors and painters that are very respected in Europe, and do amazing paintjobs, as well as producing limited runs of minis that are highly sought after...

shame that Mandelbaum is now dragging their name through the mud, too...

cheers

Thanks Ritides, and yes, quite right I forgot that one. As of just yesterday, the phone harrassment of various parties was ongoing. He is using techniques to hide his number to get around people who have blocked his other phone #s already. He even started harrassing a woman simply because she dropped his advertising after she found out that he lied about who he was, using an alias. Apparently in Mandelworld if you simply state the facts of a situation and then want to never speak of it again, you have committed a great betrayal and deserve harassment, as you are now 'out to get him'.

No one is out to get you Daniel. Why do we talk about you everyday? Because everyday you harass and lie and scam. If you simply stopped, we would stop talking about you. Stop pooping on our lawn and then get angry when we point at you and tell you to stop pooping on the lawn. Don't want to be yelled at for lawn pooping? Stay off the damn lawn.

I don't think it will. If I understand that correctly there is a company in Italy making minis (at least they share the name and logo), that seems to fit. That's why I said that the page (Rolljordan) does not upload these pics themselves. They are displayed there because Daniel tagged Rolljordan in them.

Are those crappy SoH painted minis actually Mandelbaums?

Yep. Btw hilarious comment by Daniel:

The chipped paint doesn't even show the highlights, but that's ok, ill just buy Photoshop and make sure all future pics are actually decent!

I'm actually interested in the 'automatic sorting machine' bit. Those of you who trade a lot know that those machines print out genuine tracking numbers that show up on the proper websites, usually with the tag line 'electronic shipping info received' or something like that.

Buuuuuuut those machines aren't postal clerks. You have to physically put the package into the bin yourself. Very easy to print off a legit label and not put the package in the bin.

It would be so easy to say 'oh, that's odd, the number is active and I shipped it. I'll go talk to the post office."

Disconcerting...

Yeah, they're doing away with that here KK (or at least, adding an automated option to supplement it). I don't think it's that easy to game the system godswildcard, but I certainly think it would be easier than doing so with a human being standing in front of you...

He's also mentioned before that he does it because he can go in off hours. Again, no one there to supervise...!

Regardless, it's kind of moot. I've personally seen him send things successfully using those machines (or at least, when he said he used them). If he can game the system that way, it's just one more of hundreds of ways in which he tries to do so... so it doesn't really matter that much in the end.

On the plus side, if he says he sent a parcel and proves it with a tracking number, but it never arrives (perhaps because the parcel was not put into the system), the (non) recipient can claim a refund anyway.

Also there would be no tracking after the parcel entered the system, because it could not be checked through any intermediate depots.

Well they can claim a refund, but only from Daniel or through their payment option since the postal contract taken out is with the poster not the recipient. Least in the UK that is the way things work; if something goes wrong its whoever posted it who has to contact and sort it out (Unless I've had it wrong for years).

That's all well and fine, however when, in the past, he's sent out false packages the method has been to ensure that the excuses keep up until the deadline for refunds via payment options (eg the 40 day paypal window) expire.

A little servo skull came floating into my office and reported to me that with it's excellently calibrated optical sensors it had discovered the following *interesting* coincidence. I decided just to deposit it on the pile labelled "Welson/ Mandelbaum" - it does not add new information, but it's decorative.

Take note of those little brown rivets he uses (the only person I know to do so), the exact same ballast, the same mix of green and brown stuff, the same amount of brass etc.

This is actually what got the general community looking at BCS in the first place way back a month ago when the Alan Welson saga started. So many people saw the style of conversion work and said immediately it was Mandelbaum.

Yes, the refund would have to be claimed from Resin Forge.

That is why we always advise people not to cancel their PayPal claim. The other way is to pay by credit card.
