manny's thread

[Jack]

Jack, instead of wasting your Sunday rubbishing other service providers, writing sour grapes book reviews on Amazon, or generally making a nuisance of yourself, why don't you go and sort out your tax returns and try to get your own business back in "good standing" before worrying about other peoples?  

manny, I hate to see you take eduard's discussion off track, and quite sure that was your intent, so I will reply to you in a new thread, ok?


manny, from what I hear, your are one to be talking about taxes. From an ex-business partner of yours he say's that you do not pay your taxes today, have not paid taxes for several years. I don't know if it's true or not, just saying what an ex business partner had to say about you.

My taxes are in good shape thank you manny. What olgah is referring to is about a $75 a year franchise tax that many companies in Texas ignore until they need to get considered "in status".  If you want to sue someone your company has to be in status. To get a major state contract, your company has to be in status. The state of Texas has no bid's out at this time needing my services.  Our sales tax, payroll tax, matching funds, are all in good shape. The franchise tax is something that can be corrected at anytime by running down to tax office and getting current, not a big deal if we ever need to and does not prohibit us from doing business.

Regarding writing sour grapes book reviews I disagree. I wrote a very accurate book review as I saw it, why would anyone want to waste $20 (or $30) on your so called book, nothing more than a copy and paste collection of post's from three/four Russian discussion boards over the last 7-8 years.    http://russianwomenadventure.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=80&sid=9800bdc99e2130e705c7b51826babd9f     I knew you would not like what I thought of your book, the absolute worse I had ever read on the subject of pursuing a Russian wife, but when I saw your moderator write you had the balls to let people comment on your book as they saw it,..well, I thought why not.  Turns out your moderator was wrong.  As I have mentioned previously, unlike what your moderator wrote, that you had to also delete, you didn't have the balls to allow a non positive report on your book to remain on your site.

And ohh manny, since we are addressing each other and some of your scumbag tactics, and to show any and all newby's the type guy you really are, the old timers already know, on your site you made the comment about me  "you are known to have been in cahoots with disreputable sites" and then because you are the coward that you are, you quickly locked this thread so I could not ask you about this. So I will take this opportunity now to ask you manny,  would you please name these disreputable sites that I am in cahoots with?   tick, tick,tick,tick,tick   silence

And the answer is you cannot. WHY?  Because for years you have been guilty of making such mis-leading and slanderous statements.   Many people are now aware of this tactic of yours,... BUT wait,..... hold on a minute,...manny, you have the opportunity to show we are wrong about you and that your not a lying scumbag after all by being able to name these disreputable sites I am in cahoots with.  Go ahead manny, show the new guys who know nothing about you that you would not write such an untrue thing, and then locked the thread, go ahead manny,  back up your statement now since I can ask you about this matter directly.    

Of course you won't answer, you'll come up with some bull schit story, you won't name any sites because their are no such sites.  Typical, low life manny.

And oh yea, as to wasting my Sunday, wrong again manny. Sitting at an outside cafe on Khershaytk, it's now almost 7pm, with my wireless, having some drinks with some British guys, man can these guys drink. They have been seeing me write this reply to you.  They told me to tell you that they are very ashamed of the fact that you are British and that there are very few wankers like you. Not sure what a wanker is but your a wanker to them. They asked me what a scumbag is and best I can figure a scumbag and wanker are close to being the same.

Locking this till further notice - this, and a few other topics involving Commercial members, are under review by RWD Staff.

- Dan

[Admin]

Topic is now unlocked - and with the following comments:

As some of you know, RWD member 'Manny' is the author of a book about Russian Brides, is married to a lady who runs a very small agency, and owns a RW forum at RUAdventures.com.

The squabble that is developing here is between members who have Commercial interests, hence, my moving the topic here.

In terms of the allegations Jack makes about Manny's book - I have not read the book but I have come to know its author reasonably well - probably as well as may be possible in the 'virtual' space of the internet. In the past, we had our share of disputes, both personally and professionally. Those are in the past. I feel confident that Manny/Stuart did a great deal of due diligence in the initial release of his book, and in the numerous updates he has made since its initial release. If anyone has any fundamental issue with anything in the book, feel free to send Manny a PM and I am confident he will address it.

Offered FWIW

I stand to be corrected but hasn't that agency now been 'acquired' by AFA?

If so that would be news to me.

Having seen rumors of this sort (not this one) before, I would not put any stock in this sort of rumor. Ask the source and trust no other.

I didn't base my comment on any rumours. If you go to ladagirl.com and click on 'Women's Gallery' then you are taken to a page that is clearly AFA's.

I see. Well, that *is* news to me. Once again, I feel confident if anyone has any pressing questions about it, they are free to PM or inquire of Manny and I suspect he will respond.

One would have thought so, yes Dan.
In the US our court's essentially ruled that when in public it was legal to take anyone's photo however such photo, or photos, could not be used for commercial use without that person's (the person in the photo), and/or the photographers permission.  Usually some sort of compensation is rendered when using such person's photo in a commercial manner.

manny had sent me a copy of his book and was wanting my feedback on this book.  After reading this book I eventually gave my opinion on this book, an opinion that manny was not happy with and promptly deleted from his site. One of the things I found alarming in this book, besides some of the outrageous statements, was a photo of my girlfriend from Lugansk.This is a photo of her's that has been posted on the internet, as I have posted several of her on this very site.  But none of those photos, to my knowledge, had been used for commercial purposes.  When I showed this photo to Helen and it being in manny's book she was shocked, even upset. She assured me she had never given permission for her photo to be published in this book and I know manny did not get permission from the photographer.

So when you mention you felt confident that a great deal of due diligence had been applied to this book, I would have to respectfully disagree with you as to this particular aspect.

You mention that manny's book has had numerous updates. Hopefully the unauthorized use of this ladies photo has been removed in these recent updates.

Jack, there are no photos in the book -- never have been. I think you are somewhat confused. Maybe you will share with us what page this [or any] photograph can be found on?

Apologise any time you are ready.

[Jack]

No, I do not think I'm confused. I KNOW what is in the book you sent me.  I will copy and scan and post on rwd when I return home.  Helen's photo "IS" in the copy of the book you sent me.  Hopefully you took her photo out on copies you produced afterwards. 

Hey, now what about some of those "disreputable sites" you have claimed I am in cahoots with, can you please name some of them.

[Manny]

No, I do not think I'm confused. I KNOW what is in the book you sent me.  I will copy and scan and post on rwd when I return home.  Helen's photo "IS" in the copy of the book you sent me.  Hopefully you took her photo out on copies you produced afterwards.  

Jack - I'll make you a public bet of $50,000 that there is not [nor has there ever been] any such photo in the Russian Bride Guide. Time to put your money where your over-sized mouth is. Do you accept?

[Jack]

YES!

[Manny]

Let's sort out your libel first -- then we'll move on to your reputation.

[Jack]

 ohhhh my, sounds like manny has been caught again, by me, in another of his many, MANY, untrue, false, misleading, slanderous statements.

Why don't you admit it manny, as most everyone can already see for themselves, that you know of NO disreputable sites that I have been associated with as you have claimed, posted on your website and then like a coward locked the thread after making your lying statement.  Typical manny.  I hope anyone who would ever think about buying this guys book look at this as a fine example as to the type person, character, he is.

Speaking of libel manny you posted your libelous claim several months, almost a year ago, why can you not proceed with this libel issue first?    ( I know the answer)


Now manny, do something you have seldom done before, be a man, back up your claim that you posted on your discussion board, ......

 you are known to have been in cahoots with disreputable sites
  




Now manny, who are these disreputable sites I am in cahoots with?


And the answer is,  .      .    tick,    tick,   tick,  tick, tick  again,  your silence is deafening but yet speaks volume for your character and well known disgusting reputation for doing this same type of thing over and over again.

[Manny]

YES!

Can we be clear here, the "yes" quoted above is your acceptance of my $50,000 bet detailed above in this topic? Are you happy to sign a document to that end?

To further clarify, the handles "Jack" here on RWD, and on other sites you link to, together with the handle "Jack B" on Amazon.com are also you, Jack Bragg of Texas, correct?

[Eduard]

YES!


Hey, now what about some of those "disreputable sites" you have claimed I am in cahoots with, can you please name some of them.

good to see you accepting the bet and putting your money where your mouth is. I do have the book in question right here and would love for you to point me to the page where the photo is. I must have missed it when reading it. I have the original first edition, prolly the same one you got. So what page were you saying?

[Jack]

manny!   what is this!   a one way street where you get to ask all the questions?  manny, this is not rua, you do not control things outside rua. I have been asking you one simple question over the last few days. you expect to be doing all the asking and none of the answering?  Hell no, its a two way street out here manny.

How about we do this the correct way and to answer these question in the order they have been asked?


Back up your claim that you posted on your discussion board, ......

hey good to see you back eduard, glad you decided to partake in the show after all.

say eduard why don't we play by the same rules as manny and I are going to do. You answer questions in order they were asked. Seems only fair, yes?   

Now you have previoulsy written to make sure the ladies are real for your clients that you call them  talk to them, get a good feel for if they seem sincere or not,.......but then you also said a few months later than you never ever called women for your clients, if you did that would make you qualify under IMBRA, and you mentioned you did not qualify for IMBRA because you were not contacting ladies on your American clients behalf.

Now I would like to ask you eduard, which of those statements is true, and which is a lie?


tick,            tick 

[Eduard]

so what page. jack? try to stay focused. One issue at a time. Page number please?

[Eduard]

Now you have previoulsy written to make sure the ladies are real for your clients that you call them  talk to them, get a good feel for if they seem sincere or not,.......but then you also said a few months later than you never ever called women for your clients 

and when you are done pointing me to that page with the girl's photo in Manny's book, would you be so kind to provide a link to where I supposedly wrote that "I, by myself, without my client on the line (who actually makes the call) call RW to varify whether they seem sincere or not and to get a good feel for them".
Thanks, jack

So far all I see is accusations with little to zero substance from anyone.  So, don't wait for the others to do something.. each of you put up your "evidence" to back whatever is your claim.  Pretty simple really.  If there is evidence, put it forward without further stalling tactics.  The "You first" stuff is so juvenile and really makes you all look pretty bad.

Or, as the lady in the old commercial used to say... "Whar's the BEEF?"

[Manny]

Daveman, what you actually should see here is Mr Bragg attacking others as usual. Only Mr Bragg is accusing anyone of anything here.

Up to now, Mr Bragg has defamed me by insulting me and made patently untrue claims about photographs allegedly in my book. I have asked him to provide proof of that -- so we wait. When he cant, he will be exposed for the blatant liar that he is. At that point, we shall see if he can pony up on the bet he accepted.

It is not up to me, as the accused, to provide evidence to exonerate myself from spurious claims by the confused or senile, it is up to the accuser to provide evidence to back up their claims or it is quite clearly libel.

Daveman, who did I accuse and of what? Why not just call it like it is = jack is doing all the accusing and attacking. I haven't addressed him or any of his posts since I registered on RWD until he started his attack on me. I do agree that his behavior is juvenile. IMHO jack's greed is getting in the way of his better judgement and prevents him from realising that this ugly behavior only turns people off and causes him to loose clients. Who wants to hear advice on important lifechanging issues and decisions from some one with a mentality of a highschool bully?

Where's the EVIDENCE???  All this bickering and backbiting from you characters and zero EVIDENCE. 

Maybe these Commericial Members need their own seperate forum.
