Robbi Wilson is dead and from what I was told a decent guy who had a good amount of money and whenever you have that surrounded by hobby scum the guy becomes a mark. My understanding is and has been since he passed away was that a lot of items he purchased were bad, some came through open market and some he took it in the rump from so called friends.

David Maui is a liar in my unbiased opinion which is now biased cause I know he is a liar and the main catalyst in the XRFacts debacle. The fourth guy I kind of wrote off because his structure was so well in line with his resume that he really could be nothing other than what he claimed to be, which was a marketing rack jobber or whatever. He was so full of shit I wanted to run out and buy chips, but I am not sure he even collected anything.

Mr. Kelly Hicks, a man who has caused me a great amount of trouble has only ever answered one of my e-mails in the beginning and neglected to respond to 3 additional mails over the course of the last few years. So I really never knew the guy, but he is a liar and now I not only know that he is a liar which is of course my opinion here but he is not going to refund any monies on these helmets with certificates apparently and there is a coordinated effort to brush this over and their going to try and pull him out from under this heap of bad helmets and salvage him. The problem is everyone has baggage and there are conflicts of interest in the forms of large amounts of cash monies and collectibles.

So, the lawyer is dead, Potato chip man I don't know nor care, Maui is a lying sack with no credibility, and Kelly Hicks is the man. The man with the scam and the man who is now taking a position that some of these helmets are real e.g 8-10 and using a moderator on another forum to run smoke while Kelly tries to climb out and apparently he may be under legal fire here as well. There are two painters to my knowledge, one will be in Louisville along with some other people but apparently not Kelly Hicks. The 2nd painter a lot of guys know and he does work for dealers and brown bags his deliveries. I guess people could get worked up about that but the fact of the matter is it happens every day and these people are not hidden whether they paint helmets, blue guns, sew cloth, or whatever. But what will change is the fact that things will be a lot more visible now, because I got a legitimate amount of time in this hobby and I am tired of this thievery and I am not going to sit idle much longer and will start carpet bombing crooks.

Way I figure it, by the time I get back from traveling and getting my ducks in a row here and in Europe the internet is going to look like Vietnam by some time in March, early March I would guess. Anyone who is privy to or has any information they want to share feel free to message me, I have most everything anyway so its no big deal I guess. I will close this for now until I get my road map worked out and directions can always be forwarded or released. So there you have it, Kelly Hicks will stand his ground, he is probably already in legal limbo, will not be attending the S.O.S, and in my opinion and evidence would indicate he is a liar and knows full well now as he did back when the XRFacts debacle started the limitations. It may very well have been a situation where he found out later and came in from behind to cover these helmets with scanning, but he is currently blaming the backlash towards the science as the cause for its failure.

[quote name="DougB" post="618473" timestamp="[URL="tel:1462150279"]1462150279[/URL]"]Of course Kelly will cast doubt, he has to or he would be refunding tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Show me a CH "decal" and I will prove its fake. None of the Klub has yet has come forth to take me up on the offer. Including Kelly with his "vet acquisitions". Sorry but the road goes right through Michigan, the helmets he was supplied, and the fake vets that were selling them to the suckers at gun shows.
The old timers used to call an ET a type 1 SS decal and a Pocher / Q / EF a type 2. They didn't even know there was a CH decal so this is compete hogwash. "Old timer" knowledge on SS decals with most of the old boys klub is remedial at best. I viewed a large "old timers" collection which had about 20 SS helmets. Of the 20 I'd say 16 were fake. Of course the old timers don't want to upset their buddies so they bless them as real and suddenly you have real SS helmets because the old boys club says so. It's the same in high end TR visors.
I have news for everyone. The old boys klub is corrupt as hell. Take their word at your own risk. I know, I've invested the money and the time and he research. Nobody else has and everyone is afraid of them in the hobby. I say, ******* them. I don't need their acceptance nor their acquiescence nor their validation and nobody else should either. That's the ego driven part of the hobby they like to control and its poisonous.
But the Old Boys Klub never thought they could be knocked off their perch because they never thought of the Internet, and their world was small indeed.
Collectors who buy this old timers horse s h i t are the same collectors who need to be spoon fed by them and need the old timers affections. WAF is corrupted by them. And I don't need to be explaining this for the next 40 years because you can't fix gullible, naive, or stupid. So they can read the research which cannot be disputed or they can wallow around believing a massive fraud is isn't true and these CH are real.
Too many dumb *******s in this hobby. Too many frauds. Too many guys who need validation and acceptance by the old boys klub. Not enough guys like Frank who say it like it is and don't give a damn what the old boys klub think.
Logic for some reason fails to take hold in the Kindgom of German Helmets. So let doubt prevail. It would be laughable there were not real people being ripped of for thousands of dollars out there.[/quote]

[quote name="DougB" post="618500" timestamp="[URL="tel:1462167032"]1462167032[/URL]"]Hey Steve, thanks and the fake covers is a whole other scam, one of many in the TR hobby which needs a massive fkg enema.
CH "decals" will be believed by those who believe the world is flat and the sun orbits the earth because an elder told them that and it was in a book.
However clear evidence shows what the CH really is and that is a massive fraud. There never have been real CH "decals" nor real vets selling them. They are a template painted copy of an ET decal that were bought by an "expert" and validated in books as real. The hobby bought the story and thus CH "decals" existed by decree, sort of a royal ascent.
Nobody would go against the grain of "accepted" knowledge lest they be ridiculed and cast out of the hobby as a heretic.
Well let's just say, Heretics 1. Elders 0.[/quote]

[quote name="DougB" post="618626" timestamp="1462230258"]Hi Rune
There are several parts to this fraud.
1. The most obvious, the person who created the fakes to begin with.
2. Those who supplied the artist with very specific helmets.
3. Those who knew of the fakes and remained silent.
4. The validation of them by publication and single source expertise.
5. The failure by said expert to admit error and then further compound the error by creating an entire class of "decal" to further validate and expand the fraud.
6. What is happening now with anyone stating that there have been a small amount of real CH "decals" to sow confusion which creates doubt in collectors who dont know and will drink whatever kool-aid said expert is pouring.
Note, said expert has made countless errors in the authentication service they provide and believes in their infallibility.
It's a very sad sad state of affairs but like I said, you can't fix gullible, naive or stupid. And there is plenty of that to go around in this hobby.[/quote]
