Now that he has seemingly cut all ties with Biscardi (which he should have known better than to be involved with him to begin with), I can maybe give him the benefit of the doubt and it has restored a bit of respect for him. Now, whether he sticks with it or ends back up with SFB team..who knows? I think he made the right decision in telling the truth about Biscardi and all his efforts to lie and cover up a sad hoax.

I always enjoy listening to Steve and had respect for him; now it is time for him to get back to reality and leave the glory seeking hucksters alone. I think you made a good move Steve and I for one, retract some of my statements that I made about you in a few responses.

Still, I think you had to know what Biscardi was all about considering his very ugly history and the fact that he learned his craft at the foot of one of the greatest huckster/hoaxers of all time..Ivan Marx.

I know Biscardi and team will carry on and many will continue to trust them and throw money their way..that is everyones right. I just would like to see Biscardi find another interest and leave the field of cryptozoology alone. At least leave the hunt for Sasquatch to the REAL enthusiasts and researchers.

Maybe Biscardi can go after ghosts..seem to be a lot of hoaxers and fakes in that and heck, all you have to do is say you feel a cold draft in a room and that is enough to get your credibility established in the “ghost hunter” world..LOL.

Take care everyone.

Paradoxically, because of the massive influx of viewers from outside the usual Cryptomundo set, fewer readers actually saw any of the info that Loren was trying to post. I heard from a few people who were trying to follow the links from Fox or other sites that they never got in, and I certainly did not see anything on the site until today. So Cryptomundo didn’t provide that much free publicity! But on the other hand, Loren’s insightful comments couldn’t be read, either.

I think that the attacks on the function of Cryptomundo, and the cost and effort that Loren had to go through to get the site up and running is a kind of modern-day book burning, similar to the attacks that these two morons made last month against Loren’s printed writings.

The whole thing has been a disgusting view of what certain people think is acceptable behavior, in destroying the public image of cryptozoology, for no reason whatsoever. They don’t even seem to have made that much money out of it?! And their fame is probably infamy–even Fox, which initially pushed the whole thing before the general public, would not want anything to do with either of these morons, should they surface. So no $$$ there and one has lost his job.

All in all, a pointless exhibition that seems to have injured everyone who was even remotely interested in the topic. I only hope that this doesn’t injure the efforts to save the Museum.

As for Biscardi, his career is likewise over.

This brings up an important point for me. I understand that Cryptomundo brings news of cryptids and new species as they are discovered. AND occasionally things are reported here that bring out hoaxes, misidentifications and what not. That is all a part of the game, I suppose.

However, in all of this, I have been feeling like Cryptomundo, while reporting what was happening and keeping the crypto-community abreast of what was going on, only served as free publicity for these bozos in all of this. I know they had vids on YouTube and they had their own website and what not, but I still feel like this web site only served their purposes more than it served to get to the bottom of what was going on.

In this day with technology being what it is, and with the abundance of people with either too much time on their hands, or out to cash in on something like this, I think Cryptomundo needs to be wary of these kinds of circumstances.

I think Cryptomundo has a responsibility to report these things, especially when a situation like the Georgia Incident occurrs, but the site also has to be responsible and not feed into these types of shysters. It may be a fine line Cryptomundo needs to walk, reporting news without publicizing, but I think it is an issue that needs to be in the back of our minds when dealing with stories like these.

Cryptomundo needs to take a proactive approach, and take these kinds of claims with a grain of salt, as it were, until definitive evidence is given.

I was disappointed that the Georgia boys were given so much attention when they had not come across with anything other than weak claims and attempts at fraud and lying from the outset.
