In criminal parlance, any bogus excuses given by these scammers to explain these delays in payments or delivery of artworks is known as "stalling and lulling" activity (my personal favorites were Paul Myer's "the funds are being held by the credit card company" and Stan Leitner's "the funds are being delayed by new Homeland Security/ anti-terrorism laws").

However, you can be sure at least two people have been paid:

1. Eddie Vakser

2. Bruce Bise

Rumor has it that Harvest Productions (very wisely) is requiring the guys to pay "cash in advance." No money=no giclees!

So for $5K you have an investment quality "art certificate" (i.e. an IOU).. suitable for framing I'm sure.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

THE FEDS ARE COMING, THE FEDS ARE COMING ! “HOT ITEM”…..In addition to the “blog” (1) of people not getting their checks as promised, (2) artist(s) wanting back their original art and being refused….(3) along with members that have been reporting that for over a month they have been “BS’d” daily that their art would be coming “tomorrow”…..(4) Vakser and others are saying that there are problems with the images,etc.…and they are being “adjusted”….Total untruth, the fact is (5) that people have checked with ”Shoreline Management Group” & “Harvest Productions”, and they are being told that there is nothing wrong with the images, and no art has been shipped, (6) and Vakser because of his past history is on a “pre-pay” COD basis via PayPal….Here come the FEDS.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

I have been reading comments you all have been posting and the majority of you are correct. I worked for Eddie V for almost three years and I can tell you he is not worth spit. Neither is his brother Vlad or their sister Angie or her dumb husband Scott. They think they are hiding under the umbrella of TNT Media productions. (Remember that name) The truck that is in question is a piece of junk. I truly feel sorry for that woman who was scammed out of the money. I saw that truck being built back in 2001-2002 and the equipment in it was junk then. Most of it was out dated and worn out. That truck isn't worth $4000.00 let alone 40000.00. When Intellecon/R*****e communications crashed and burned, there were alot of employees that were left high and dry. Alot of us were not even listed with the TX labor board as working for either company and were denied unemployment. We as a group had to meet with the IRS to prove that our taxes were taken out of our checks because the taxes were not paid by the company. Like the money that was taken out for insurance that was never paid. The commissions that were never given to the employees. Now I know you are thinking that I am another disgruntled employee and I'm not. I've come to terms that I will never see a penny of what is owed to me. I just hope that I can tell you what I have learned about these people and I can keep someone else from being duped by this bunch. A friend of mine who is a federal agent once told me that a person with mafia ties will never tell you of those ties. It's the ones that do brag about it that are the wanna-be imposters. The Russian Mafia has better sense that to deal with these two-bit crooks. My suggestion to any of you is that if any of the Vaksers or Tassens are involved, turn and walk the other way. Your life will be much better. There are no such things as get rich schemes that Eddie would like you to believe. Hard work and honesty are the paths to success. What goes around, comes around. The Vakser's is coming around the bend. I wish all of you the best.

Off topic note: for some reason Scam.com treats the word "t-e-r-m-s" as a broken picture link. If I type it correctly (without the dashes between letters) it shows up as follows= terms

If you ever want to use that word just insert a space or dash as follows:

term s

term-s

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

ATTENTION HISPANIC/ LATINO/ MEXICAN RECRUITS

Eddie Vakser and Bruce Bise have modeled this new and improved "opportunity" on Paul Myer's International Galleries, Inc scam. Read what the respected Hispanic news bureau La Raza has to say about IGI:

IGI drowning in debts

La Raza - noticias desde Chicago - impre.com

and see how Latino's faired under IGI:

Portrait of a bankruptcy

Addison's International Galleries once was vibrant and successful, grossing millions of dollars a month selling art reproductions. Then questions were raised about how the company operated, and IGI's handsome image began to fade.

Dallas Business Journal - March 17, 2006

Some 72% of IGI's salespeople were Latino, according to Myer.

Genoveva Cervantes said she turned a profit of about $24,000 by earning commissions based on what her 28 recruits sold or bought from about May 2004 to October 2005. She is owed about $1,000 in commissions and is a listed creditor in the bankruptcy proceeding.

While she was successful, Cervantes says seeing her less-capable friends struggling to recruit and sell the art was difficult.

"They didn't make any money, and they can't return their paintings to recover their money," Cervantes said. "I saw them trying so hard. I couldn't do it again."

http://dallas.bizjournals.com/dallas...y2.html?page=1

IMO, Artchannel & CGI are minor league wannabe IGI's. IGI was well funded and skillfully conceived... and still managed to fail so spectacularly.

"Past is prologue"

Read the enclosed information on Mr Vasker´s arrest and think about it. He got arrested for theft (he stole the cookies he offered you at one of the events...) and for not paying toll...

Great guy!

Since the link provided above is no longer working I've reposted the document... enjoy :D

Re: Artchannel


I know of the Vakser's and the only one you should be worried about is Vladimir Vakser. He is a snake. He ruined the previous business he had with his brother Eddie. He ripped off his own family reallty bad, they don;t talk about it much but he did. He really screwed them over and caused all sorts of financial difficulties. Not to mention he is totally addicted to porn...maybe thats why he screwed up his marriage and businesses....now he's married to some russian mail order bride. wonder how long she will put up with his nasty habits? i hear he mostly does installs and rentals to strip clubs now....what a low life.

“Our sources tell us that NO ART HAS EVER BEEN ORDERED BY EDDIE VAKSER (as of this week), NOR HAS ANY BEEN PRODUCED when an inquiry was made to the “Shoreline Management Group”, etc.”

(A) Suggest that those that who do not call their credit card companies NOW, are in jeopardy of not getting their monies back. Those that do, demand that the purchase be voided due to not getting and/or not being able to order product for many weeks….and your credit card will be credited.

(B) Others that have paid for their memberships in cash and/or by check … DEMAND YOUR MONEY BACK in writing (by certified letter)and by email!

(C) Others whose credit cards have not been charged yet …. Send an email to “Artchannel”, etc. and CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP PURCHASE. It has been confirmed (by an inside source) that Vakser has collected around $1 million dollars +++ already, and he could skip with the $$$$.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


(Confidential source reports the following. I cannot personally verify any of this)

Reports are that Vakser, Casavant, and others are engaging in blatant discrimination, favoritism and other unfair and unethical practises. Such activities include allowing a certain number of favored insiders to avoid paying their $5,000 cash to join. Eddie is essentially “gifting” membership rewards and other earnings benefits to them! Some of these back room deals are done with the understanding that their $5,000 will be deducted from their future earnings. At the same time Eddie is charging other recruits (a.k.a. suckers) the full $5,000 in cash. Some members are also supposedly getting commission checks of up to 25% which is amazing since, as far as I know, no one has actually sold a single piece of art. Reportedly no member orders been placed with the manufacturer. This thing is a total scam and a house of cards.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

What a load of crap!

Art Channels National Television Network Chooses Irving Texas As Its New Headquarters

"The Art Channel Founder & CEO Eddie Vakser has brought to Irving Texas the most comprehensive Financial Freedom Lifestyle System in the Country with a national network to deliver their Financial Freedom System through Art Channel TV..."

http://www.free-press-release-center...000004472.html

So just exactly who was the company "he took from 10 million to 100 million dollars in less than 6 months"... IGI????????? It must be.. read on:

"That is why his peers were absolutely astonished when he walked away from millions of dollars based on principles. Mr. Vakser stopped providing his services based on the apparent inequitable and ethical issues within that organization. Even though he left millions behind him, he obtained a tremendous amount of respect within the Art and Printing business community, and allowed his integrity and character stand out."

OH PUHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAASE!!!!!! What a friggin liar!!! :rolleyes: :D :eek:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

You know, this press release is downright pitiful. It's so full of grammatical errors, punctuation, capitalization, misspellings and awkward phrasing it's embarrassing... seriously... try reading it out loud.

http://www.free-press-release-center...000004472.html

I've received better written stuff from Nigerian scammers! This thing was obviously written by Eddie who has become a victim of his over inflated, deluded ego. He misspelled Cao Yongs last name (it's Yong not Young)... he even screwed up the hyperlink at the bottom (Send an email to Tanya Vakser of money) by typing in the wrong address to his own website

http://www.artchannelsgalleries.com/ (artchannels... instead of artchannel so the link obviously doesn't work). Oh yes.. be sure to mark "May 19tht, 2007" on your calendar. :p

I also have a copy of his member agreement... it's a mess too. Either he thinks he's capable of doing everything himself or he's too cheap and broke to hire a copywriter (or, in the case of his member agreement, a lawyer). I guess I shouldn't nitpick so but for God's sake at least ask someone to proof read before you post next time. These things are a reflection of your professional abilities. :rolleyes: Then again... maybe he thinks all those Mexicans he's recruiting can't read or write anyway :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

(Another confidential source asks that I post the following. Once again, I cannot confirm or deny any of this... it's simply put forth for FYI)

(1) Vakser IS ALREADY BOUNCING CHECKS to a variety of persons and companies. Vendors and members of the Artchannel, etc. that have provided personal internal services for this scumbag have submitted bills and invoices and have not been paid.

(2) As of today, NO ART IS BEING PRODUCED because payments have not been made to Harvest Productions and others. So members orders cannot be filled even though they have paid for and ordered art. NOTE: All members that paid by credit card MUST DISPUTE PAYMENT WITH THEIR CREDIT CARD COMPANY for non-delivery in order to protect themselves from this potential fraud.

(3) Next week a “temporary restraining order” and cease & desist order against will be filed effectively shutting down Vaksers' "MLM platform" and other technology he obtained from CGI. Vakser has not paid for these things as agreed and has replicated (counterfeitted) and is using CGI's property without permission or payment.

(4) A few concerned members are trying to reach Vakser’s attorney (Pat Guillot) and demand that “Vakser and his family be removed from the company the Vakser family owns.”

(5) Vakser’s supposed corporation(s) in Texas (Art Channel TV, Art Channel Galleries, The Art Channel, NRG, Inc, TNT Media Production, Ltd, etc) are not licensed or registered to do business in Texas. The ONLY corporation that I can find was filed on Feb. 26,2007 in Texas is “Art Channel, Inc.” which lists Eddie Vakser as the sole registered agent, director, & stockholder. The only entity registered in Texas is “TNT Media Productions,Ltd” and Vakser is not mentioned. Guess who is the registered agent… Eddie's “scumbag sister” Angie. Limited Partnerships (in general) do not offer the same kind of “personal liability insulation protection” to the partners involved as do the regular corporations or LLC’s. The “scumbags legal veil of protection… mixed with fraud… might catch them personally. I checked with the State of Delaware and Nevada and NONE of the corporations or entities are listed there either… unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

(6) This week a meeting is being held with only the “concerned members” of Artchannel to tell them the true status of this scam and that it's likely going to be shut down next week.

Tomorrow I am going to the City of Dallas , and see IF they even filed any “assumed name" documents for any of their entities. I assume they have a few assumed name “DBA” (non-corporation) doc’s filled for $12.00 so they can open bank accounts, etc. IF that is soooo, I think a personal “freeze of bank assets” would be easier. They have a history of commingling monies. Man, the authorities will have fun with this one!

To Whom It May Concern:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

(Confidential source requests I post the following)

"Members are now being told by Art Channel employees, etc that "their art commissions will not be paid until further notice so that the Art Channel has funds available to have images produced and shipped to to them from the supplier Harvest Productions.” What does that tell you?!!! Where did all the members money go? Will anyone ever get the art they purchased?

Eddie Vakser is again rattling is Russian saber at anyone that uncovers facts and reveals the truth about him or his companies. He is desperately trying to find and intimidate his critics by boasting he will sue them for libel and slander. He loves to threaten and bully in order to scare people. He's a master at twisting the truth so that he can claim that others are actually harming him!!! Most of all he desperately needs to buy more time in order to pull in more dollars before this scam collapses.

Eddie is so deluded that he succeeds in getting others (including his lawyer/partner) to drink his recycled Paul Myer IGI Kool-Aid. If in fact he does start filing frivolous lawsuits against his critics he will likely succeed in harming those who were gullible or ignorant of the truth of this operation. His attorney, Pat Guillot, could be ruined by having prior information and evidence that Eddie himself (and through his agents) has committed libel and slander along with other illegal acts. As an officer of the court, Mr. Guillot cannot turn a blind eye to any illegal or unethical activity by Eddie or the company that he (Mr. Guillot) participates in as an officer and director.

Eddie Vakser repeatedly claims that he "owns" the Silverado Ranch facility and business operations. This is a LIE. At best Eddie holds a short term "lease" and does not own this considerable asset. Yet he continues to perpetuate this lie in order to impress gullible recruits. This unethical activity is the same as if he were claiming to own rented limousines, jet planes, mansions, boats, jewelry etc. This activity is in the same league with submitting a padded asset sheet to an investor and taking their money... it is CRIMINAL and anyone (especially board members with legal training) who knowingly allows it to go on deserves what they get.

Eddie Vakser is currently a defendant in other lawsuits which is surely draining his resources. As with the IGI cash crunch this could easlily cause this house of cards to collapse. Anyone who serves on a corporate board of directors has a fiduciary responsibility to the organization and it's investors... and EVERY member is an investor!!! Any board member who turns a blind eye to lies, secret deals, financial misdeeds or other illegal or unethical activity can be held personally liable for dereliction of duty."

So far it seems Eddie has taken in a lot of money and given nothing in return. This activity would not be tolerated in any other legitimate business... how long will this be allowed to go on?

(Remember that name) The truck that is in question is a piece of junk. I truly feel sorry for that woman who was scammed out of the money. I saw that truck being built back in 2001-2002 and the equipment in it was junk then. Most of it was out dated and worn out. That truck isn't worth $4000.00 let alone 40000.00. When Intellecon/R*****e communications crashed and burned, there were alot of employees that were left high and dry. Alot of us were not even listed with the TX labor board as working for either company and were denied unemployment. We as a group had to meet with the IRS to prove that our taxes were taken out of our checks because the taxes were not paid by the company. Like the money that was taken out for insurance that was never paid. The commissions that were never given to the employees. Now I know you are thinking that I am another disgruntled employee and I'm not. I've come to terms that I will never see a penny of what is owed to me. I just hope that I can tell you what I have learned about these people and I can keep someone else from being duped by this bunch. A friend of mine who is a federal agent once told me that a person with mafia ties will never tell you of those ties. It's the ones that do brag about it that are the wanna-be imposters. The Russian Mafia has better sense that to deal with these two-bit crooks. My suggestion to any of you is that if any of the Vaksers or Tassens are involved, turn and walk the other way. Your life will be much better. There are no such things as get rich schemes that Eddie would like you to believe. Hard work and honesty are the paths to success. What goes around, comes around. The Vakser's is coming around the bend. I wish all of you the best.

I completely agree with Willie P that the majority of the posts on here are correct and accurate when it comes to the unethical and possibly criminal activites of the Vakser family.

I too worked at Intelecon from 1998-2002 , and saw that company go from a somewhat respected AudioVisual Staging company that provided show services to many corporate clients , to a company that could not meet the payroll , took money from the employees insurance plan , 401K plan , and also from our income taxes that they deducted from our checks but did not pay to the Government.

Like Willie P , I saw and participated in the installation of their video truck and agree completely that it is a piece of crap , built with used and out of date equipment .

I am at a tradeshow right now and was bored with my laptop when i decided to google both Eddie and Vladimir Vakser and stumbled on this sight.

It has been a fascinating read of the posts on here and I only wish the best for the people who have encountered the Vaksers post Intelecon days.

Rumors and gossip were the things I heard about them since those days , talking with former employees still , we will always ask each other if anyone knows what the former owners of Intelecon are up to these days.

I will definately be providing the links to this site and topic to my former friends that worked for the Vaksers.

I have heard of TNT Media , Angies company that I guess fronts for Eddie and Vlad but I have not seen any of them since the funeral of Aaron Haines a former Intelecon employee , in 2003.

Like Mickey Carson said on one of the posts in 2006 , the Vaksers reputation in the Audio / Visual staging business is totally and forever stained. Angie was one hell of a videowall programmer and multi media designer , her brother Vladimir to his credit was a very good video technician and problem solver out in the field , her other brother Eddie had the reputation of being a good salesman but as time went on , the promises and the so called "dreams" they would tell the employees became more and more clear as nothing but "pipe dreams". As Al Nelson , one of Intelecons leading salesmen said one day during an employee meeting(when times were bad) , "hey , what flavor of smoke are we getting blown up our asses today ?"

Hope to hear from any of my former friends who worked at Intelecon and anyone else for that matter.

"The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior"--- Dr. Phil

Eddie appears to be a desperate man with time and money rapidly running out. The scary thing about these cult-like operations is that others are willingly assisting him in his lies in order to get this scam up and running. As with IGI... NO ONE is joining this thing to sell or collect art... PUH-LEEEASE!!!! The few that have joined are simply looking to get rich quick... period!

These scams do nothing more than transfer money around between the members. There is no legitimate business activity (such as substantial retail sales to non-members) going on. The only way money comes in is from the pockets of new suckers they recruit... and they need an endless supply of them! The membership IS the only market.

Artchannel is a house of cards and is mathmatically doomed to collapse. Eddie Vakser himself personally said that about IGI!!!! IGI was a much larger, far better funded and far better organized scam run by seasoned con men... yet it still imploded screwing over 30,000 people out of millions. Eddie is just to putting lipstick and makeup on the old IGI corpse and convince others it shall rise again and make them wealthy. I guess Eddie is so deluded he thinks he has the power to raise the dead :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


Eddie registered his Artchannel.tv domain on December 5th, 2003. Nearly 3-1/2 years later I've yet to see anything resembling an "Artchannel" anywhere... even on some remote satellite channel. All this time he has repeatedly used this pipe dream to suck in artists, investors and other partners.

Eddie has had more failed business start-ups and lawsuits in the past decade than you can shake a stick at. Anyone remember his goofy "we can print photos and artwork on CHOCOLATE" business??? LOL.

Eddie is all hype, hype, hype and no results. Apparently the only thing he's really good at is conning people out of their hard earned money.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


it used to be a joke in the Audio / Visual business that Eddie and Vladimirs company name should be called InteleCON . As the 1990's came to a close , it was no longer a laughing matter to the employees .


Paychecks started to be late , then they started to bounce , with some of the sales staff being told they would have to wait months to get their commissions.


They brothers tried to get investors to bail out Intelecon , with no success.


Many people with real intentions of being part of the show services A/V world did inquire about investing , but as soon as they would look at the books and ask around about the owners of Intelecon and their reputations(by this time, lawsuits were piling up on the desks of the Vakser brothers from vendors who they owed money) they would not have anything to do with these guys.


Then along came Jack S. and the promises from the Vaksers to the employees that soon all would be well and that some big money would be coming in to help save the day. We also had to deal with this guy by the name of Joe Anthony(real name , who knows? ) who became sort of the bean counter/company fixer that was also supposed to bring back the company from the doldrums that they were in. The last thing I heard about this guy was he was involved with some former Intelecon employees in some install company and then he grabbed their money and headed out of town .


TNT Medias website is full of misleading things such as the client listing.


It has many clients on there including the pics from the shows that were done back when it was Intelecon. They have equipment listed on there with rental prices on some of it that go for 3 times what some of that crap is even worth. Some of the Video gear they have for rentals , is so bad and outdated that you would have a hard time giving it away !

also one of the websites that TNT Media has listed as one of their creations is really another Eddie Vakser enterprise known as "Energia". an A/V company that is basically the same thing as TNT with the same equipment for rent.

They once told the employees around mid 2002 that a new deal was being negotiated with the landlord who owned the building that Intelecon was using. We were told that , no , we are not moving the office and warehouse and that all was well with new investors jumping on board.


It was all lies , in fact , they had not paid rent in several months and it would not be long before the orders to move came down from the Vaksers.


it happened very fast and with many people not being told until the last minute to start packing up and moving out. The move was to a building owned by Jack S. located near Lamar street just south of Downtown.(the old Intelecon building is still vacant and still has the Intelecon sign on it, located on John Carpenter freeway in Dallas).

As soon as I heard about this move , that was the final straw for me.


One can only have so much loyalty and patience ,and the proof that these guys were nothing but bald faced liars was enough to send many employees to seek other jobs. i was just one of many employees who had enough of the lies and dishonesty.

Jack Stadtman (aka. Jack S.) owns a large company called Advanced Art where he manufactures truck loads of inexpensive "wall decor" (primarily framed prints). He controls an entire block or two of old buildings on both sides of the street. In 2003 this area was converted by a movie company into the streets of an Iraqi city for the filming of "Saving Jessica Lynch." To my knowledge, Eddie had nothing to do with this production.

Rather than having the facades removed after filming, Jack opted to keep it all in place in hopes of more movie and defense industry business. Read more:

Dallas Peace Center -

http://dallasmetropolis.com/forum/sh...8&postcount=37

http://www.uer.ca/forumpic/norm/42469.jpg

Jack's property is just south of Gillie's nightclub. For awhile Eddie was producing some fledgling country music show for Jack which supposedly could be seen on some satellite channel. I'm told this was done in Jack's building across the street from Advanced Art.

My guess is Eddie tried to scam Jack (or vice versa) as both are reportedly suing each other. The thing is, Jack is a man with VERY deep pockets (I think he drives a $200,000 Bentley for God's sake) and isn't likely to roll over for this broke-ass Russian pip-squeak. If by some miracle Artchannel did start to make money it would probably wind up in Jack's pocket. For now, your $5,000 investment will likely go to Eddie's lawyer or into his personal offshore account rather than into building a thriving company. Can't say you've not been warned!!! :rolleyes:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

skyvoyager ,

from what I have gathered from former Intelecon friends ,

Eddie Vakser could not pull anything on Jack S. if his life depended on it !

From what I hear Jack is "0ld Dallas Money" with the best connections around North Texas.

You're posts have helped re-inforce that opinion along with what slimeballs the Vakser family really are.(I already have known that from my Intelecon days, but learning about this MLM scam(s) that they have been involved in just add to an already sad story)

also, from some of my friends that use to work at Intelecon , I have learned that Jack S. is very good friends with Sam Wyly(billionaire businessman) , who is one of the investors who helped Intelecon in its early days.(Sam Wyly was the father in law of David Matthews, one of Eddie and Vladimirs partners in Intelecon when they started and who(Sam Wyly) toted the note for a lot of Intelecons expenses during the decade of the 90s). Sam Wyly's ultimate lean on the company after David Matthews and other investors left(they formed a company called

Global A/V , which I am pretty sure went out of business) put a heavy strain on the Vaksers. The entity that Intelecon owed money to , was a Sam Wyly "company" called greenbriar. (spelling could be inaccurate, all we ever heard while employed at Intelecon , was something called greenbriar.

it seems as if Jack S. came around the scene when Intelecon no longer could pay "greenbriar" the payments for its loans.

anyway, skyvoyager, when it comes to the Vakser family , you have done a great job exposing these frauds and con artists. Anyone who reads these postings must realize that in late 1998 , Intelecon employed well over 100 people , with a huge warehouse of A/V equipement along with a studio at the InfoMart in Dallas . Revenues were reported at over 20 Million dollars a year . there were no signs of MLM scams . Intelecon was one of the most successful A/V companies in the U.S. What possibly could have happened ? the answer is easy , we had owners who were scumbags and who could care less who they hurt. in fact , when talking to former Intelecon employees , they can confirm that the Vaksers to this day will blame the former employees for the failing of Intelecon , and of course will not admit to what they did to bring down that company. Its everyone elses fault , because we did not believe in a "dream" that these faulty owners had .

Once again, I came upon this site today , and am already sending it to other friends that used to work at Intelecon . I am encouraging them to speak out and tell their stories like all of the people who have encountered these clowns in recent years.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

(A confidential source requests I post the following)

"Last week Vakser sent out emails to everyone that members art had been ordered, printed, and was being shipped to them. We have just learned that no art has been ordered or paid for.

Harvest Productions (the art printer) reportedly requires Eddie Vakser to pay in advance (possibly C.O.D.). As of today multiple sources, including Art Channel members, are reporting that Eddie Vakser (a.k.a. The Art Channel/ Art Channel Galleries) still has not paid for members artworks to be printed... therefore Eddie is lying when he says art is being shipped to members.

This newest development ties into last week’s message that “members are not going to receive commissions for now so art can be paid for.” So as of today, members can expect NO ART and NO COMMISSIONS. All they have for their investment is Eddie's punch card "play money" and his lies. Eddie's lies constitute stalling and lulling activity designed to deceive and temporarily appease the growing restlessness and impatience of the membership.

I'm told that some members are alerting others of these troubling developments. Some are advising them to report this potential fraud to their credit card company and to request their money back. This pirate ship is morphing into the Titanic... every man for himself!!!"

For others reading this, there is a lot online about Sam Wylie, his daughter Laurie Wylie Matthews and her husband David. Brothers Sam & Charles are billionaires who, among other things, own and control Michaels Stores and Green Mountain ******. They are major supporters of President Bush.

http://www.horatioalger.com/members/...memberid=wyl70

Jack Stadtman's father was co-owner of a company called Dallas Woodcraft. As the story goes, several decades ago a woman named Mary Crowley (sister-in-law of cosmetics queen, Mary Kay Ash) walked in and asked them if they could make some picture frames and wooden placques for decoupaging and other gift items. Mrs. Crowley had founded a direct sale (MLM home party) company called Home Interiors & Gifts. As with most MLM's they went on to make tubs of money for the top 5%. Her son, Don Carter, ran the company for years. He also owned the Dallas Mavericks basketball team and is a real estate & construction mogul Celebrating Home

Thanks to Home Interiors, Dallas Woodcraft grew to huge proportions (their plant is currently the size of about 5 Home Depot stores). I'm told that when Jack's father died he expected to step into his shoes which was not the case as the partners had a buy/sell agreement in place. Although he inherited a pile of money I'm told Jack was quite bitter about being frozen out that way. He ultimately set up his competing enterprise known as Advanced Art. Dallas Woodcraft is now owned by Home Interiors.

With the possible exception of Mary Kay, Eddie-the-parasite has tried to leach off all these people. He's a blood-sucker

FYI:

Pink Truth: Facts, opinion and the real story behind Mary Kay Cosmetics

http://www.pinktruth.com/about/

"I believe that Mary Kay is a product-based pyramid scheme. This means that many at the bottom of the pyramid must buy significant amounts of products so that those at the top can get the big commission checks, “win” the cars, and go on the fancy trips. This is common with multi-level marketing (MLM) companies such as Mary Kay. They depend upon an endless recruitment of new people who purchase inventory packages."

(Sound familiar? :rolleyes: )

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

I don't know why you say Eddie sent an email out saying art had been ordered because that is not true! No corporate email came out, and wherever you are getting your information from is completely false.

It seems that all you keep doing is repeating the same old stuff from the first post to the most recent post. Same people, with obviously the same vendictive intentions.

Even if Eddie Vakser is a crook, there are much bigger people involved in the art channel than him. Have you investigated all the companies involved in this process???? I doubt it, because if you had you would know that artist earning 7 figure incomes are signing up to be a part of this program on a daily basis.

Also, you talk about the artists like you really know something behind the scenes - when you don't. Artist have been removed from the original websites because they were in a previous program and their art is not exclusive. If they don't have exclusive pieces, they will be removed. Besides the original websites were "unofficial" not the ones going to be used in the long-term of the program.

Someone needs to get their stories straight - or get over your anger. Sometimes in life things don't go the way you think they will. We all invest and loose in life daily, so move on w/your life and quit trying to ruin the lives of others.

Regarding the email, I just passed along what was given to me. I can't personally confirm or deny its existance or contents.

Regarding the artists, are we to believe that each of the artists shown on this link have signed publishing agreements with Eddie? Art Channel Galleries :: Changing The Way The World Buys and Collects Art :: Artists

By saying "If they don't have exclusive pieces, they will be removed"... I assume you mean the work is exclusive to ArtchannelGalleries, correct? If so, how do you explain the fact that the same images are readily available for sale elsewhere? Case in point:

James Coleman: James Coleman - Garden In this case Eddie is NOT publishing the work of this artist. If anything he "might" have a deal to purchase some of his prints at wholesale prices (usually 50% off retail). That being the case, there is NO WAY Eddie can make good on the lofty MLM commission promises he's making. To do that you have to manufacture the stuff yourself... "in house" no less (and Eddie has no ability to do that himself). A Coleman print retailing for $500 would cost Eddie $250. To publish it yourself (as IGI did) would cost maybe $15-20 plus 10% royalty to the artist. In order to run any MLM and keep your production costs at a fraction of what the stuff would cost to buy wholesale.

WARNING!!! Eddie is deceiving you and others by using these well known artists (Coleman, Behrens, Yong, Bull) to (a) lure other artists into signing with him and (b) to create some sense of excitement for his pathetic little scam. Eddie is using THEIR names and THEIR reputations to enhance HIS. He is pointing to THEIR past successes and THEIR popularity and is leading his recruits into believing they are investing in a sure thing with a proven track record. I guarantee you Eddie does not have publishing agreements with these four (which he could never dream of affording). He can simply buy a few prints at wholesale prices just for show. The only problem is the MLM money machine cannot function this way because wholesale is far too high to provide profits to layers and layers of members.

(Note: I am not including Ginger Cook, Tom DuBois, Bruce Eagle or Nenad Mirkovich in the above statement. They are all proven Kool Aid drinkers with a previous history of collusion in the IGI pyramid scam).

Here is a list of Natasha Barnes' publishers... Eddie is nowhere to be seen http://www.natashabarnes.co.za/publishers.asp Noah Elias' website states "Art as exclusive licensor. Noah, Noah Elias, and Noah Fine Art are trademarks of Great Flood Publishing, Inc"... not Eddie! Noah Store Entrance And James Coleman himself is an art publisher... so why would he let Eddie near him? Eddie learned of these artists thru his old partner Chuck Whitbread (whom he also screwed royally).

Finally, you said "Even if Eddie Vakser is a crook..." In my opinion there's no "IF" about it. But in the interest of truth and justice, I shall drop a line to some of these artists and solicit their response. I can't wait to see what happens. :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

“Multiple sources and Art Channel members report that inquiries were made, and as of today Eddie Vakser, The Art Channel, or Art Channel Galleries still has not paid (on a C.O.D. basis) for images to be printed, therefore none can be printed or shipped to all its members. This newest development ties into last week’s message that “members are not going to get their commissions so art can be paid for”. So in other words, members are not getting paid, and no art has been ordered or shipped to its members. Suggestions are being spread by members and others to report this potential fraud to their credit card companies, demand their monies back, and to abandon this pirate ship that is named The Titanic.” Man the lifeboats…women and children first”.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


Multiple sources are reporting that the former Art Channel customer service representative “Karen” quit because she was lied to by Eddie Vakser and the Art Channel executives, and unknowingly passed the lies (that she was told) on to all the members that wanted their art in which she said it was being delivered. In fact when she found out that she was lied to, she asked for her 4 weeks back salary (that she had not been paid for)…which she did not get, AND QUIT. She said she also could not work for nothing.

She claimed that she could not lie to people anymore because they told her yesterday that NO art was ordered, produced, or delivered to the members as she was told..

:mad:

I have a $100.00 to say he will...this spinelss coward never changes his M.O. and Pat is always there to help his crimes! To bad we dont still have public hangings!

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


Just an FYI, the artist do not have an exclusive agreement w/Eddie. They have an agreement with James Lambert of Shoreline Management.

There is art by these artist out on the net, no doubt. But are they exactly the same, printed the same, same size, etc. I think the answer is no because I have researched them.

Like Simon Bull, you can find his out there in his own gallery. An artist can still own the original, etc. However, the version of his/her piece that is in our program is exclusive how Harvest/Shoreline decide to produce them.

Check your facts. Karin probably quit because she was not doing her job. From what I hear she was in way over her head, but I have not heard she quit. Besides, she is related to Eddie and I personally saw her at the ranch at a meeting on Tuesday - what is up with that?

We can go back and forth, but I think you are just pissed off about something and need to move on.

All companies have people at the top that may not be as scrupulous as we would like, and I am sure the art channel is not any different. So does Mary Kay, Tupperware, Southern Living, etc. And you an see all those companies on this website as well, and they have been in business longer than some of us have been in existence.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


Dear Jerk OFF


Please inform us again why Karen left her job.....Your telling me it because she was over her head.....anyone can answer the phone and speak to members...this is not brain surgery... It is because she was lied to and not paid. She also did not want to keep lying to members. No one wants to be involved in a scam that hurts people if they have any character at all! Why don’t you all just call Mr. Lambert and ask him…this is easy children…. no art has been ordered… Lambert will not lie for Eddie...make the call!


How can you have a mother with a child in day care and not pay her.... we have seen from the past that Eddie does not pay...but he will take all of the money and claim it was his all of the time. Look what Eddie did with my 401k money; he took from our retirement fund and said it was his... His end is coming soon!


And all of you who keep saying something about drinking the Kool Aid...isn’t that what Jim Jones served too! A sweet drink with enough poison to kill you all.... Eddie is what Eddie is...why do you expect him to be anything more.... He came from a family of low life Gypsies so the lesson lives on threw him and his family...You are just the victims of generations of thieves! He wears rag tag wrinkled clothes and his hair is always dirty and un-kept…what does this say about his mind?!?!?!? Irish Spring would be a good start…

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


Has anyone (members and employees) actually been paid anything yet? I'm talking actual CASH here... not punch-card/ speed bonus/ e-wallet funny money or other Vakser "IOU's."

This scam is as crappy as the AV "satellite van" Eddie used as collateral to screw that old widow out of her $40K. It's an old, tired, recycled scam without a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding. However, if he can make it look believable and continue stalling those demanding money, he'll be able to fleece a few more sheep.

I think the Russian gene pool needs some chlorine!

Maybe you have a different definition of the word "exclusive" than I do. All I know is you can go to other websites and find the exact same images, sizes and editions for sale by reputable galleries. These galleries typically buy wholesale (half off) and sell at retail (full price). Historically the wholesale dealer discount in the art industry has been 50% of the retail price.

What baffles me is how Eddie plans to deliver all this massive wealth to himself and the membership by buying art at "wholesale" prices. Even if the publishers gave him an even deeper discount for bulk purchases, there's still not enough profit margin to deliver the sort of returns he's promising. Unlike paper prints (which have a very low unit cost), giclees are much more expensive to produce. So the discounting to Eddie couldn't go very far. IGI manufactured their own prints in house at rock bottom prices and still went belly up.

..................


If memory serves me correctly, James Lambert (Shoreline Management) is an ex Thomas Kinkade/ Media Arts VP. After he left Kinkade, he too was trying to partner with Jack Stadtman. My guess is Chuck Whitbread tried desperately to arrange some sort of marriage between the three of them. That's about the time Eddie was squatting across the street so they all spent time together.

Lambert is seemingly a talented and capable guy. But after years of chasing down bunny trails with Eddie, Chuck & Jack... and after the IGI disaster... I'm really starting to wonder. My guess is James is happy to sell art to anyone who shows him the money. The question is.. does Eddie have any? :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

(Confidential source requests I post the following with names deleted)

" (name deleted) will testify to these facts, statements, and actions) that Vakser had the nerve to go to his exhibit at fair park to do and say the following:

(1) Vakser verbally attacked (name deleted) until (name deleted) yelled at him and told him NEVER to talk to him that way and to go away. (name deleted) then said to him that “Vakser was his worst enemy, and no one (name deleted) knows cares about him nor cares about his “Art Channel.” (name deleted) told him that the way he is acting in a potentially fraudulent manner and will never be able to come back into the “multimedia business.”

Vakser said, “I do not care whether I make it or not ….I win EITHER WAY, EVEN IF I LOSE….I WIN … I HAVE ALREADY WON…..IF I WIN….I WIN…IF I LOSE…. I WIN”.

After (name deleted) walked away from Vakser, Vakser did not leave the exhibit, and he later found Vakser talking to other exhibitor executives. (name deleted) told his executives later “not to have anything to do with him" and to go on “scam.com”, and read what others are saying about him.”

(2) Vakser told (name deleted) the same thing he told (name deleted) earlier this week that “all of Jack Stadtman’s properties are being foreclosed on June 9th”…..WHICH IS PURE CRAP!!!"

Re: Where is IGI's head cockroach Paul Myer?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Of course guys like Paul Meyer don't stay underground for very long. It seems he has resurfaced at Ambit ******, the Ignite wanna-be in Dallas, TX. After a pitiful launch Ambit crawled in bed with the MLM hopping Carlos Marin gang (ex Amway, Empexis, APP, InXone Lexxus) in a desperate attempt to jump start their false start. Now they have linked arms with Paul Meyer, the founder of the recently bankrupt IGI. You can read plenty about Meyer and his IGI history here on scam.com. The sad thing is that companies like Ambit are willing to give these kind of guys another platform to work their deception and continue to give MLM a bad name. The fact is that in the end what Ambit now sees as an opportunity to get some traction will end up further tarnishing their reputation and taking them the way of the many failures in Marin/Meyer's wake.

Karin

Karin, thank you for setting the record straight. I assume we should all now believe that you are (a) happy working in your position, (b) being paid in full and on time, (c) have no knowledge whatsoever of any unethical dealings going on, and (d) personally recommend the Artchannelgalleries opportunity to everyone.

Even so, I hope you can understand the skepticism a lot of us have. You see, Eddie Vakser was in up to his neck with with International Galleries, Inc. That's where he learned this business and the model he based Art Channed Galleries on. Yet despite his best efforts and those of everyone associated with that disaster, it went down in flames as predicted months in advance right here... on the "NATIONAL INQUIRER BETTER KNOWN AS SCAM.COM."

You see, a some of us have an uncanny ability to smell a rat (or an entire nest of them) and a few of us personally feel called by the "LORD JESUS CHRIST" to sound the alarm and protect his sheep from being fleeced! Like you, I myself am a lifelong Christian... possibly setting in a pew near you... who knows? What I do know is that MLM/ Pyramid/ Ponzi scammers usually find a way to wrap themselves in the robes of Jesus Christ. They usually do so simply to gain instant credibility and the trust of people who are often less skeptical than they ought to be.

This MLM "religion of prosperity" (i.e. “Prosperity Doctrine,” “Health and Wealth,” “Name It and Claim It,” or “Blab It and Grab It”... an aberrant, greed based theology)... cannot possibly be justified when one "Christian" ultimately becomes wealthy at the direct expense of another. That goes for pastors, ministers and MLM'ers. Once an MLM collapses (as the vast majority do with blinding speed) the winner invaribly blames the looser for getting in too late, "not working the plan" or lays blame on some other pesonal failing, shortcoming or sin.

The last MLM that Eddie was involved in (and the one he has based Art Channel Galleries on) went bankrupt (as predicted right here) and left over 30,000 people holding the financial bag. And as always, the so called "Christians" at the top (the ones who always seem to get paid first) blamed everyone but themselves for the failure.

A lot of people know Eddie and don't hold him in very high regard.... that's a red flag. I personally heard him in the IGI back office tell someone "this thing can't last... the mathematics just can't sustain it.. but for now there's big money to be made." Hopefully a few people will think twice before entrusting him with their money. Yet when Art Channel Galleries fails...as I predict it will (I give it less than a year)... anyone can come here and see that you went on the record today and did your best to discredit the critics and defend, promote and perpetuate this operation.

I wish that Art Channel Galleries could be wildly successful and that every member who invests could actually realize the financial rewards as promised. But that simply is not going to happen. All MLM's... even the best of them... are "pyramid" by design. Though they insist otherwise, the membership itself purchases (consumes) the vast majority of the product. These things depend on endless recruiting and the stream of income that flows upline from the personal pockets of the members. As with IGI and so many others, there are always countless thousands who "pay to play" and wind up screwed by a plan that is fatally flawed.

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


Eddie just sent out this overly jazzy video clip of Harvest Productions in action.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEmZTaP1o_s

And here are some others... each produced by Harvest


YouTube - HarvestProductions's Channel

I really don't understand what (if anything) this has to do with Eddie and his MLM/Pyramid scam. Yes Harvest is a capable, top notch company... but they are simply a vendor to Art Channel Galleries. Harvest will do a good job for anyone who pays them. However...

This video clip should >>>NOT<<< be construed as any sort of endorsement of Eddie Vakser or his Art Channel Galleries scheme. Nor should members and recruits be misled into believing that this is HIS facility, HIS workers, HIS equipment and HIS assets! Unlike Paul Myer's failed IGI, when Eddie goes bust there will be virtually no physical assets for the court to auction off. :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


(Confidential source requests I post the following. As always I cannot personally vouch for the accuracy and simply )

“Vakser and/or his companies have ONLY PAID FOR, ONLY GOT PRINTED, AND ONLY SHIPPED… ONE (1) SINGLE PAINTING”. That is probably the same painting he bragged about on an email (with picture), and along with other members that are having their art delivered. I checked with another member or two and no prints have been received. His vendors know that he is drastically under funded and that he has NO monies to purchase art for his membership. Vakser continues to plead for more credit and continues to be refused."

Has anyone else not received the art they paid for? Because if people are investing in a scheme that promises they'll get getting rich if they keep recruiting others... and nothing of tangible value is being given in return... then that is 100% proof of an illegal PYRAMID SCHEME in operation. A "product based pyramid scheme" at least attempts to disguise itself by giving members a token product of some sort. An "IOU/ art certificate" redeemable for a print at a future date won't appease the Attorney General.

If you feel you've been ripped off, file a complaint TODAY with the Texas Attorney General

Hey, skyvoyager (do you have a towel around your neck!?) stop telling people what to do ("If you feel you've been ripped off, file a complaint TODAY with the Texas Attorney General...."), and get off your flabby rear-end and YOU do it! Can't? Won't? Why not? I'll tell you why not, you're a friggin' "sideliner" just like all of the crybabies who yell at the "loser" athletes yet never had the cojones to get on the field themselves!

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


It has been reported by Art Channel members, officers, executives, and outsiders that Eddie Vakser as many times before, has been locked out of his place of business, this time the Art Channel premises at SILVERADO RANCH by the landlord for non-payment of rents. Eddie Vakser has done this in at least 3 locations before (Intelecon premises also including stealing $46,000 of his employees 401K monies, 2229 Cockrell Ave, and 999 Metromedia Place) and many more that people do not know about. Eddie Vakser is reversing the entire issue by telling all members and others that the owner of the premises only wanted the premises back again. How can that happen when Eddie Vakser, etc. were stating to many people that he “bought the SILVERADO RANCH building months ago” = more lies. He is now stating that he can move back into the building anytime he wants to = more lies. If the owner (Eric) just wanted the premises back for himself …. Then why did he lock Eddie Vasker out ?... He could have asked him to leave, and give him 30 days to move out. Eddie Vakser was supposedly on ONLY a “month to month lease” = more lies The reason that could not be done is that Eddie Vasker and the Art Channel owe him LARGE sums of past due rents!!! Eddie Vakser has had to move into a temporary small office located at “The Orange Tree Studio” which is at 1500 West Plano Pkwy Plano, Texas 75075 (972.509.0151)

Also reported that Eddie Vakser’s home is and or has been in foreclosure proceedings, and the Art Channel members monies have or will be used to “pay off the mortgage, or pay off all the outstanding delinquent mortgage payments, default penalties, legal costs, etc. Our sources hope that it will or has happened already because any monies used from the Art Channel will be considered as “ mingling corporate funds for personal use” (which Eddie Vasker has done multiple times in the past) … that equals a serious criminal offense. Any monies received by Eddie Vakser’s “s__mbag” lawyer Patrick Guillot, will have to be returned to its members.

Eddie Vakser continues to plead with the art vendor for credit so he can buy more than the “one giclee painting” for a member.They and others are constantly being harassed by Eddie Vasker for credit, and are refusing him. Our sources tell us vendors, executives, and members are getting sick of Eddie Vasker’s lies.

Do not forget that Eddie Vasker has at least 3 court cases coming up against him within the next 60 days in Dallas, and he will be probably a HUGE loser of monies in each of the cases. His time has or is running out. Others are lining up to sue also. “The party is over for Eddie Vakser and his family”. The suggestion is to line up and get in line to either “screw him back”, or do nothing and get screwed by him and his notorious family. They can attempt to run ….but they can’t hide unless they leave the U.S.A.

First of all, I've not invested a single red cent into this goofy scam so I can't personally file a complaint against Fast Eddie with the AG. But that doesn't mean others can't or shouldn't. Kool Aid drinkers like you never want the people they're scamming to know they have rights and options.

Secondly, who says I'm sitting on the sidelines? Obviously I'm not because I've got people like YOU screaming! :D

No, I'm right in this fight calling a "spade a spade" as I always have. I'm happy to be telling people what a retarded pipe dream MLM is for 99.5+% of people who join them. A tiny fraction at the top get rich at the DIRECT EXPENSE of the people downline. It's a suckers game and always will be. Even the best, most legal MLM's are pyramid in nature and the MLM industry is deluged by these illegal "product based pyramid schemes." Throw in a broke-ass guy like Eddie Vakser and you have yourself a real "opportunity" :rolleyes:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

Just curious, where are all the pro-Artchannelgalleries voices? Where are all the Eddie Vakser supporters?

This is an open forum and you're all free to speak up and set the record straight. If your critics are all wrong and doing nothing but spreading lies, then you are failing to defend your company by remaining silent.

So in the spirit of fairness, let's hear the other side... how many members are making big bucks (real money, not e-wallet/ IOU's)? How many members have received all the prints they ordered? Has Eddie >>not<< moved operations from Silverado Ranch?

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

MEMBERS “WHO HAVE NOT GOTTEN THEIR ART AND OR THEIR COMMISSIONS” SHOULD SEND A “CERTIFIED LETTER AND A “CERTIFICATE OF MAILING” TO EDDIE VASKER AT THE ART CHANNEL AT BOTH LOCATIONS ASAP DEMANDING DELIVERY OF THEIR ART AND OR THEIR MONIES WITHIN SEVEN DAYS.. THOSE MEMBERS THAT ARE IN THE DALLAS METROPLEX SHOULD ALSO TAKE THEIR LETTER(S) TO THE “ORANGE TREE STUDIO” AT 1500 WEST PLANO PARKWAY, PLANO, TEXAS 75075. HAVE A DUPLICATE SO THAT ONE OF THE EXECUTIVES OR OFFICERS SIGN FOR IT. THE LETTER MUST BE “ACKNOWLEDGED AS DELIVERED” BEFORE ANY CLAIM FOR ART AND OR COMMISSIONS CAN BE FILED WITH THE AUTHORITIES AND THE COURTS.”

Also, if you charged your purchases and have not received your artwork as promised, file a dispute with your credit card company. They will credit your funds back to your account.

Conversely, I invite all you happy, satisfied members (i.e. those of you who have received all the art you paid for, commissions, etc) to state so publicly. To remain silent in the face of all this criticism is to fail to defend your company. The utter lack of pro-ArtChannel voices should serve as a huge red flag to others. :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

Sources report Eddie Vakser and his Art channel still has not been able to purchase ANY art for its members. He continues to plead with the art vendors for credit, which they continue to refuse to give him. He owes everyone “butt-loads” of monies and vendors and members are trying to track him down, but he is hiding and not answering his cell phone and relaying messages via his staff that investors are coming in the near future to save his company…..and so are the British!!!

Everyone is getting sick of his misrepresentations, and the landlord did what he had to …remove him for

non-payment of rent, and his art supplier(s) can or will pull the plug on him.

Talk is that his Executive Vice President of Member Relations Shirley Casavant, keeps on serving up the Kool Aid on a regular basis to all the members because her “puppy dog boyfriend” (Dale), who she has had on her leash for years … put in a large amount of monies in the beginning. No wonder she tells everyone not to abandon the ship, and everything is fine …. It is not fine, and if they abandon ship, Dale loses.

More talk is that Eddie Vakser is also behind on his mortgage, and foreclosure proceedings have started, if he has not already taken Art Channel members monies to bring it current or pay it off entirely

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

The home page on Bruce Bise's apparently defunct "Celebrity Galleries International" website now reads "Produced by Art Channel.TV" http://www.celebritygalleriesinternational.com

However, reports were that several months ago Bise had agreed to allow Eddie Vakser to use his "Pro1 MLM Software Support Services" for a fee. As usual, Vakser apparently defaulted on his payments to Bise (duh!) http://www.pro1multimedia.com

For awhile Bise had deleted the "executive bios" on his website and replaced them with those of Vakser's ArtChannel.TV. A quick check (under corporate profile) shows Bise has given Eddie and his stooges the boot and replaced them with his old CGI executives... none of which I gather are still on board.

PS: I love this....

www.igi-art.com ........ "Sorry, the page you are looking for cannot be found"

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

“The next court date against Eddie Vakser and his gang of hoodlums as defendants listed below by Laurisiton Crockett III and his mother is on Monday July 9th at 9:00 am in Dallas in the 191st district court. You all know that this suit is for large $$$ for loans, etc. This is an “open court” so everyone and anyone is welcome (and we encourage EVERYONE to come) and see what Eddie Vakser did to persons BEFORE what he did to members at the AC. It will also give the judge an idea of what “scumbag Eddie Vakser” is about. In the coming month, there will be more suits and possibly criminal proceedings against him. Come to court, enjoy the movie, and bring pop corn (ha-ha).

We will update you all by that Friday BEFORE (7/6) and let you know EXACTLY when the trial starts….The court could schedule it to start later that week, etc….but it cannot be postponed…

To all that are interested, here are some more specifics. It is at the Allen Courthouse, 600 Commerce Street, Dallas Texas.

The NEW judge is “Gena Slaughter” at 214-653-7117….The administrative judge handling scheduling is “Shirley“ at 214-653-6609.

There is some real rumor that the supposed investor(s) that Vakser was talking to last month (who Vakser screwed before) … investigated Vakser, etc. and is deciding to bypass Vakser and try to start their own MLM and buy from “John Doe”…..If that happens, they will fail also.”

It has now been 20 days since I posted the message above and STILL not one single satisfied Art Channel Galleries member has stepped up to refute the claims being made here. Where are all the fat & happy members? Where are the loyal Artchannel employees, board members and stooges? Where's all the good news?

Eddie Vakser has taken advantage of every free (and paid) online PR service to spread his pro-ACG propaganda yet fails to set the record straight here. I think ACG is having a near death experience. Where's Dr. Kevorkian when you need him? :D

---

Eddie lied his way into Silverado Ranch promising the owners Eric and his wife all kinds of business he had lined up. The same old BS he tells who ever will beleive it!

He schemed up a plan including his attorney Patrick C.Guillot who was hired by
the property owners to settle liens against the property at the recommandation of fast Eddie, who had been kicked out of Silverado Ranch for non performance of a sound equipment contract, by A. Sanchez the real owner, creator and designer of Silverado Ranch.

Patrick Guillot was in and out of Silverado Ranch under the pretence of working on building owner's(Eric) liens when all the while he was looking at the business A. Sanchez (tenant)had owned for 26 yrs. to take over w/ fast Eddie.

Guillot offered the landlord / building owners 50k a month for the business
because he also fell for fast Eddies crap about all the business he could & would bring in boxing, UFC fights etc.

They made up a BS reason to blame Sanchez for the landlords property liens

and locked him out, took over all his and his employee's property over $400,000.00 worth not to mention all the new client base they had developed as they were underway opening. Eddie took cameras, and personal property of Sanchez and his employees.

Eddie personaly cashed A CHECK made out to Silverado Ranch for over $4000.00 to add to his criminal record!

They kept using Sanchez's copy righted name & logo conducting business

first under the name the Summit, then "The Silverado Event Center" and
then against Sanchez's demands NOT TO USE, Silverado Ranch.

These guys are first rate crooks. If all the people complaing against

Fast Eddie and his Outlaw Gang COULD GET TOGETHER SOMEHOW to form a

coordinated effort to sue or bring them down it would make life a lot better!

Eddie never was any kind of owner as far as I am aware of he was working with or for P. Guillot then later became a non paying tenant.

They stole Sanchez's phone numbers by liying to the phone company.

Tried a black mail bluff for the Sanchez's Silverado Ranch web site but Sanchez didn't have anything to hide so they had to operate w/o the site.

They caused Sanchez, his employees and family great financial problems!

The end of the story at Silverado Ranch for Fast Eddie and his attorney was Guillot never made any payments to property owner and he defaulted and was put out.

Fast Eddie tried to stay, lying somemore but I guess someone paid attention

and put him out as well!!!!!!!!!!!

THIEF HUNTER, thank you for your valuable factual information about sc_mbag Eddie Vakser. Do not worry, he will get everything that is coming to him REAL SOON including his sc_mbag lawyer Patrick Guillot. People in the know report that he has only sold $5,000 of art in the last 45 days, and has (or never) paid commissions to his members. In 10 days his court problems start when Lauriston Crockett and his mother take him into court. He might try to run ...but he cannot hide. THERE WILL BE JUSTICE. Rumors are that he has (or will) lose his software platform this week. With luck the courts and the authorities will be able to prosecute and crush him and his con artist family and relatives. EVERYONE PLEASE REPORT EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM ... IT WILL HELP ALL OF US BRING HIM DOWN FOR GOOD !

So what's the story on Eddie's legal pal Patrick C.Guillot? Has he been involved in the scammy MLM world before? I see he was once listed as a judge on the Fifth Supreme Judicial District of Texas. Eddie gives Pat top billing... listing him EVEN ABOVE HIMSELF as one of the ACG corporate "executives." So if ACG goes down for anything underhanded, I'm assuming their "executives" will have to answer.

:::::::::::::::::

On another point, Eddie's "Welcome" page now features ex-IGI artist Tom DuBois and the caption "Tom duBois's family proudly watched while he signed his latest Art Channel release: "Blessed Is He."

Problem is, this appears to be a recycled "limited edition" image previously copyrighted and published by Somerset House and entitled "Hosannah." (Click to view)

http://www.somersetfineart.com/ps-51...om-dubois.aspx

Somerset then then cropped out a part of the painting and released it under the title "Lamb of God."

http://www.somersetfineart.com/ps-52...om-dubois.aspx

Is THIS what Eddie means by "changing the way the world buys and collects art?" All the people who bought the Somerset "limited editions" (if you could possibly call them that) must be thrilled at this 'edition busting' and further devaluing of their "investment quality collectible."

Thomas Kinkade paved the way for this sort of unethical, deceptive crap which has literally been KILLING the collector market which has done great harm to honest artists everywhere. Afterall, if you can't trust Bible thumpers (i.e. merchants in the temple) like Kinkade and Dubois then who can you trust?

Wrapping a product in the robes of Christ isn't a "ministry"... it's cold blooded, calculated "niche marketing... and a pretty effective strategy at that. There really is a sucker born every minute. I just wouldn't don't count on any return on your "investment." Praise the Lord for Ebay for it will show you just where the real market for these things really is :cool:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested


It's been a while since I posted, because I just can't believe how you guys continue to live your life trying to bring down someone! I sure would hate to get on your bad side!!!! How miserable you must be to spend all your waking moments worried about what Eddie Vakser is doing.

What you should be doing is looking for something positive to do with your life.

The reason no one from the ART CHANNEL responds to this website, is not because we are dissatistified or being ripped off! It is because we don't feel the need to stoop to your level. We have nothing to hide, and we are all adults.

We have invested in a business that we believe in, and all businesses take time to get off the ground. No one, including SUBWAY/MCDONALDS, etc. can open a business in a few short weeks. This business has grown in the past 4 months tremendously. New location, new artists, new members, etc.

We do have art - it is being shipped from Harvest! I know this because I have some of the beautiful pieces.

We have checks being mailed, and a system that works.

That is really all you need to know, not that you even care. But some of us want to make something good out of the art business and are not concerned with vendeta's against someone.

Have a beautiful day!

You said "new location"... how come Eddie moved ACG from Silverado Ranch? Was he, or was he not, locked out/ evicted for non payment of rent? I can't imagine the facilities being too small to accommodate your explosive growth! :D Where are you goobers located now? How come your website says nothing about your move, still shows you located at 101 N. Rogers Road and still shows photos from Silverado?


Art Channel Galleries :: Changing The Way The World Buys and Collects Art :: Contact Art Channel Galleries


Eddie surely knows how to switch out photos and contact info on a web page... so why hasn't he?

PALADIN reported on 6-2-07 that Eddie had been evicted and that his address was now ORANGE TREE STUDIO, 1500 WEST PLANO PARKWAY, PLANO, TEXAS 75075. http://www.orangetreestudios.com/ No one from ACG has bothered to confirm or deny.

THIEF HUNTER reported yesterday that "The end of the story at Silverado Ranch for Fast Eddie and his attorney was Guillot never made any payments to property owner and he defaulted and was put out. Fast Eddie tried to stay, lying somemore but I guess someone paid attention and put him out as well!!!!!!!!!!!"

You said "we have nothing to hide" so tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth.

Your statement that "we don't feel the need to stoop to your level" is laughable. So far you personally have "stooped" at least 3 times. I'm sure all of you in the inner circle monitor this board regularly and would be quick to post any verifiable evidence of your successes. Your membership could easily flood this board with testimonials of how fat and happy they all are. I think the reason they don't is that you don't want them to even know about Scam.com. Afterall, they might start asking questions and reporting the truth. Kool Aid drinkers aren't known for their skills at performing research and due dilligence before swilling that yummy MLM poison.

Finally, you'll be happy to know I have indeed found something "positive to do with my life"... it's called "Scambusting" If Eddie Vakser refuses to pay the rent he owes I guaran-damn-tee you he won't pay his membership, artists, vendors or employees!!! All will get screwed by him in the end... that's just the way he works!!!

Eddie is running a scam and he knows it!!! During the early days of the now bankrupt International Galleries Inc I personally heard him say that "this thing can't be sustained mathematically"... and he was right. He knew full well the IGI was a fatally flawed system dependent on endless recruiting and consumption of product (art) BY THE MEMBERSHIP. Yet despite this he himself became a member, recruited others and made money while he could. He tried his best to become a trusted insider to his model and mentor, IGI "Super Scammer" Paul J. Myer. IGI collapsed resulting in 30,000 people owed millions... and all they had to show for it was some overpriced, unsellable inkjet prints. I predict the same fate for ACG.

Patrick Guillot was in and out of Silverado Ranch under the pretence of working on building owner's(Eric) liens when all the while he was looking at the business A. Sanchez (tenant) had owned for 26 yrs. to take over w/ fast Eddie.

Guillot offered the landlord / building owners 50k a month for the business

because he also fell for fast Eddies crap about all the business he could & would bring in boxing, UFC fights etc.
They made up a BS reason to blame Sanchez for the landlords property liens
and locked him out, took over all his and his employee's property over $400,000.00 worth not to mention all the new client base they had developed as they were underway opening. Eddie took cameras, and personal property of Sanchez and his employees.

Eddie personaly cashed A CHECK made out to Silverado Ranch for over $4000.00 to add to his criminal record!

They kept using Sanchez's copy righted name & logo conducting business
first under the name the Summit, then "The Silverado Event Center"

then against Sanchez's demands NOT TO USE, Silverado Ranch.

These guys are first rate crooks. If all the people complaing against

Fast Eddie and his Outlaw Gang COULD GET TOGETHER SOMEHOW to form a
coordinated effort to sue or bring them down it would make life a lot better!

Eddie never was any kind of owner as far as I am aware of he was working with or for P. Guillot then later became a non paying tenant.

They stole Sanchez's phone numbers by liying to the phone company.

Tried a black mail bluff for the Sanchez's Silverado Ranch web site but Sanchez didn't have anything to hide so they had to operate w/o the site.

They caused Sanchez, his employees and family great financial problems!

The end of the story at Silverado Ranch for Fast Eddie and his attorney was Guillot never made any payments to property owner and he defaulted and was put out.

Fast Eddie tried to stay, lying somemore but I guess someone paid attention

and put him out as well

A Google search seems to confirm THIEF HUNTER's statement that:

"They kept using Sanchez's copy righted name & logo conducting business

first under the name the Summit, then "The Silverado Event Center" and
then against Sanchez's demands NOT TO USE, Silverado Ranch."

A search for "Silverado Event Center" turns up this defunct website:

Re: Artchannel´s Eddie Vakser arrested

This is how Eddie claimed he was going to rock the world 18 months ago. These guys wisely bailed once they learned what a bullsh*tter he is as he was being evicted from "his facility" at 999 Metromedia Place in Dallas. Once again... it appears he's all talk and no results. You have been warned.

We checked with the Dallas court and Lauriston & his mothers civil case will not be heard next week due to it having to hear (2) other 2005 cases. Therefore due to "summer vacations" of judges,etc. they postponed it until September 24,2007 when everyone is back. We feel that this unplanned delay will help us ALL 2 months from now EVEN MORE. This civil case has nothing to do with the criminal proceedings that are coming. Multiple sources tell us that over 100 Art Channel members have demanded back their monies due to not getting their art....The fact is "that there are no $$$ in the Art Channel", and all prior credit card $$$ that Eddie Vakser got .... got put DIRECTLY into his and his sister's TNT Media Productions A/C....and cash that never got deposited....keep those "PM"'S coming !

Were these "post dated" checks that are just now bouncing? If so I have bad news for you....

Post-dated checks are not prosecutable

Legally such instruments are nothing more than an "IOU"... a promise to pay sometime in the future. By accepting a post dated check the issuer (Eddie) implies that his funds do not exist (or are inadequate) at that time the check was written... BUT will be available on the date shown on the check.

In many cases, by the time the recipient tries to cash a post dated check, the account is closed and the funds have disappeared. Post dating means nothing in the banking world and one should never ever accept one.

Theft by Check

Issuance of a Bad Check, which covers all instances when person writes or passes a check knowing that there is not sufficient funds in the bank account at the time to cover the check and all other checks then outstanding. It is not necessary to prove exactly what was given (if anything) or its value, or to be able to identify the check passer in court in most cases. Punishment is by fine of up to Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars. .

The crime of Issuance of Bad Check is always a Class C misdemeanor, regardless of the amount involved

If Eddie & Paul post dated these checks then they have just stolen your money!
