I guess we can't go near politics in this thread, and I have seen this requested several times when things started to go there. So if its ok with you, I would like to take this to PM.

I haven't spoken to him, but I saw Mr. Peters at a book signing for Return to Tomorrow in Burbank over a year ago with @Karzak and @Indysolo. Peters was taking pictures with other fans there like he was some sort of star, and loving every minute of it. His motivations were pretty transparent in that moment.
Did anyone else notice that Diana Kinsbury seems to have posted the same massive update about Ares Digital 2.0 on the Kickstarter comments page eleven times in a row today? Conveniently (?), this pushes any comments about complaining to Kickstarter or initiating a class action lawsuit down into oblivion.
IMO, burying donor comments on a readable crowdfunding site is a pretty desperate strategy. Not only does it make other donors say WTF, it creates a permanent record to be reported upon.
Agree. I'm getting a bad feeling about this whole thing though.

I'm pretty sure it came from TampAxanar or one of the other 'parody' twitter accounts (though I can't tell precisely when).
Consider current events and then consider them in light of the pattern I mentioned earlier. There's been talk of a class action lawsuit on Kickstarter and LFIM's back is squarely against the wall. RMB's passive-aggressive rantings and then this bizarre commenting behavior are clear signs of desperation (possibly knowing that they're going to eventually get nailed in court, but trying to keep the donors/general public at bay)
IMO, they can't keep the donors on pause anymore. They've been selling a line that they can win, and that their behavior is in the right, and now the court filings are showing this just isn't the situation. The missing money issue is just around the corner. Studio wants all the money too.
Its all such a shame and such a loss.... he had ready made sets offered for his use. NV already was in good standings with CBS. NV had already made the news. He could have made a decent fanfilm and been talked about at the very least, in the same breath as "Gods and Men" and NV and Continues. This didn't need to happen.....
Oh, I agree, but when someone posts:
and doesn't leave any more clue than that, those of us not on Twitter are left in the dark. So, for that, thank you for sharing.
Wrong genre. This is the Star Trek board, not the Star Wars board.
Score!! Most excellent
It did take me a couple of seconds of 'what's he talking ab......' before my 'oohhh, right!' followed by a lot of

I'm sure this is probably old news around here..........
Red, what's the source for his post saying he (as Propworx) pays him (as Axanar) rent? Could you point me to that? The nearly simultaneous business filings I'm aware of already. Thanks!

I've been posting in the Comments section on the Axanar Kickstarter page; and I guess Alec Peters finally got annoyed enough to send a personal reply:
I of course decided to send a response:
Petty on my part?
Maybe, but I just can't stand raging egotists.

If by "petty" you mean "on point slap down" then yes
Sure, if you take out the "X" factor that is AP's overinflated ego. Add that back in, and the result is where we are today.
I've had email correspondence with Peters in the past. Not a pleasant experience.
Found it - that comment is attached to a TampAxanar post from 7/26 (and the business filings you're already aware of), so it's not Alec himself saying that. I haven't combed through stuff near as much (or in near as much detail) as you, so I'm not sure if there's any instance where he actually did say that (would probably have to go back and check social media postings and the like)

Well he would have to send a personal email or it would be buried under the 30 SPAM posts he does multiple times daily to hide the questions and comments posted to the Kickstarter page. I wonder which set of financials he speaks of? His original report or the one where he tried to delete all the money he spent on personal items? For such a "brilliant" man how does he think he can get things like that past the court?
Only now????
