Ethangate Update

DRA-MA.

Blair has announced his intention to delete his video in a few days, saying it has served it's purpose.

Meanwhile, webmaster Keith is taking center stage, with a few more "clarifications" over on the rump of BBS he is still maintaining for whistleblower purposes. The comments are, once again, even more entertaining; grab some popcorn and be sure to read those too:

The battle being fought in the comments section is rather interesting: Is "Ethan" a co-conspirator, or a victim?

Keith is striving mightily for Ethan-as-victim (they grew up togther, so Keith is in a relatively good position to know this). However...this notion is not going over well with many others.

It is probably not helpful to Ethan's case here that the only two who have NOT come spoken are Rick Altmann, and Ethan. Everyone else right now has come out and slammed Rick. Thus, silence by Ethan naturally implies guilt. That right now is his main problem, IMO.

Like I said, grab the popcorn and check it out...Humbly, as always, at your service...jim

Hmmm, skepticism of Ethan's innocence grows, which each passing hour of his silence.

It is beginning to spread to Ben too I notice, whose explanation of his role in all this has been (so far) vague at best...

One commenter over at BBS just dredged up this old post by Ben:

"So now many of you might wonder, “How do I find someone to represent me? Where do I begin to look to find someone who will have MY best interests in all wheelings and dealings?” The truth is, it is HARD to find a good manager. Trust me, I know. However, I got extremely lucky and I thank my lucky stars every day that I came across the manager I have now. There might be skeptics, but I would like to point out that my career has literally taken off in the last 7 months when I began working with my current manager. I am doing things now I never dreamed I would be doing, and in such a short time as well. Ethan and I have an underwear modeling campaign. We have our own company (ProjectBE) that lets us be creative (T-shirts, photobooks, ect.) We have moved forward with TV deals, sponsorship deals, and projects I cannot talk about quite yet.

If you are interested in modeling, entertainment, joining the porn industry, or anything related, it would be your best bet to email me by using the contact page on this website. Just click the link above. Ethan, my manager, and I, would love to help.

What are you waiting for?

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF, LIFE IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF"

OUCH! Ouch ouch..ow, OUCH!

I can't figure out what this Altman did for his "clients." Since when does a day player in low budget porn need a manager? Most of them can't pay the rent much less give a manager a cut. I'll bet that if you have the appropriate look or even close and you want to be in porn, all you have to do is email a pornoprapher.

I think booking the "Ginch Gonch Boys" for public appearances was his main duty, it looks like.

Managing Blair (and maybe others?) in porn was maybe secondary? The GGBs I am sure were his meal ticket.

And I am guessing he "managed" everyone's money in "investments." In other words, money Ben and Ethan thought they have saved up is probably non-existant...as is the $1500 of Blair's nest egg that we know of for sure.

We also know he scammed people from non-existant merchandise sales as well, although I wonder how lucrative that racket would have been? How many t-shirts can a web site sell?

jim,
I think you are most likely correct that booking the Ginch Gonch boys was where Mr Altmans money came from.
It would not surprise me in the least if he had to scramble to pay them when it became "absolutely necessary" either.
Does anybody know if the Ginch Gonch boys still exist as their advertising models.

Jim--

That last question should be addressed to the "ever knowledgeable" El Mysterio as in its a wonder for anyone that anything he says will not contain heavy doses of spin and shinolla.

jim said...

v.j.,

Ben seems still to be with Ginch Gonch, yes as he has a promotional appearance for them coming up in New York, according to his blog:

Ethan's status with the company remains a mystery.

Jim,

Now that the comments are turn on on bratboy school if you have anything you want to talk about on this topic feel free to come saying it on my blog.

jim said...

Kyle, you mean "off on" I think, and YES, will do, thanks!

I went ahead and and added a seperate set of links for Ethangate; you're the first! :-)

Like I said in the previous post, most of us here are followers of the Kocis murder (don't know what that is?...well, thats kinda...um...a long story!) so I'll only be touching on Ethan lightly here; mainly when events there parallel the Kocis case (which Ethangate does, to a certain extent...at least to the formative stages of the whole Kocis saga).

Once again, thanks! :-)
