From CROOK to CEO?

LOL, I read about this guy on PCA. I guess he's running his own operation now.

Wonder where he got all the nice hardware for his computer? :|

Does he deserve a second chance? 😉

EDIT: He put his picture up?!? What a L7oser!

PCA = PC Abusers
Thread where I read about him...

Trolls suck.

 

[Viper GTS]

That's right, there were tons of threads over in FS/FT about him a while back...

Wonder if CPL is aware of his past? Perhaps e-mails would be appropriate?

Are you sure this IS the same nicholas ervin?

Looks like these would be the people to e-mail, probably the top two. While they don't have any direct control over him, I suspect they'll object to their being listed as "affiliates" on a site run by a known crook.

Foreversilky...

Yes, it's the same guy. He even uses the same nickname. Check here.

Ervin, Nicholas L from Midlothian or Mansfield, TX . Known handles include mrbean, matrix, xxmatrixleaderxxx, garth and projectx. Also uses the alias "Lee Hopson" and "Project-X".

EDIT: NM, another search revealed he got his PS2 back...eventually.

 

[Cable God]

I think 80% of us around here heard about his "fiasco's"

I took my own advice earlier today & e-mailed Angel Munoz, the Founder/President of CPL. His reply:

Mr Bishop,

I appreciate the email. I have known Nicholas for 3 years now, and I have
never had a problem with him of any type.
