What happened to mother gecko botanicals? I talked to him about a week ago and he said he just got back from the boat. He also said that he had to leave in eight days. I never got an answer back from him through e-mail or AIM. So does anyone on here know what is going on with him? Or why he is on a boat for so long(many months at a time)? I figured he was either in the military or something to do with marine life(Marine biologist maybe?)

Any help would be appreciated.

They cease to exist as far as providing ethnobotanicals s are concerned.

Utfse.

.peace.

I'm not talking about selling his "botanicals", I am talking about what he is doing. Maybe someone that knows him as well as I do might know. I talked to him on AIM a few days back, but that is the last I heard from him.

ask him if hes gonna make good on all the money that was sent to him for product that never was shipped......

If I get ahold of him again I will. The last time I talked to him he was sending me much of what was left of his supply. He had no kratom or salvia(both of which I ordered), kratom he used himself, and salvia went bad(he was gone for months). But he is going through a rough time, and I know how it is to be a small business owner and operator.

I was under the impression that he was going to make good on the order I sent in last year. It has been 9 months since I ordered, but I have kept in contact with him, and have gave him the benefit of the doubt. I hope you all have as much patience with him as I have.

I heard Mike went to the loony bin.

They never fulfilled my order :( ugh.

spaceballs?

He stoped running the botanical shop and got a new job

He stoped running the botanical shop and got a real job

Fixed.

i talked to him, too. about a week and a half ago now. he said he's working for an environmental consultation group, contracted by oil and natural gas companies like shell, bp, exxon etc, keeping them from harming protected species. he's happy out there.

Well he should be able to pay back his loyal customers that he basically stole their money. After he made that thread and complained about kids stealing their mommys credit cards he goes and steals everyones money. If he made an effort at all to pay people back i wouldn't call it stealing but he has not done anything but bitch about people taking his money. He then does the same thing to the loyal customers by stealing their money.

I might have to agree with Ilovechronic on this one. I ordered many many months ago, and he has said that he is going to send the shipment time and time again, but he never makes good on his promises. Hopefully this last time he will make good on his promise.

Also if he is out at sea working with oil companies, then more power to him for getting a job he enjoys, but he should still make good on the past orders. Its only fair because we sent the money, if he doesn't send product it is akin to wire or mail fraud.

Well he came here bitching and moaning about parents doing charge backs on their CC's because their kids would steal their cards and order stuff. Then after all that bitching about not stealing and prosecuting the thieves he ripped EVERYONE off and did the same thing to his loyal customers. I never ordered anything from him and I am glad I didnt now. Maybe someone should send in some complaints to the BBB about him stealing his customers money. As far as i know he never made an attempt to make good by paying anyone back.

Don't know/don't care.

He was a good friend of mine and he dissappeared without saying a word, and it pissed me off. Last time I heard from him was a few months ago, he told me he was sorry about leaving, I said, "It's cool" and left. Said Legal Troubles or some shit. Went to Peru. I dunno.

Mike, you know my address. My number. Hit me up sometime if you ever feel like explaining your disappearance.

"Mother gecko is our fwiend!! He runs competitions and gives us free stuff!"

"Oh, mgb couldn't have ripped us all off, he was so nice! Nothing is ever too good to be true, the world is wonderful and full of magic!!!"

good to see you around hazey. i dont know if you remember me but I have seen many of your posts. how have you been? You still staying clean?

Yeah, I'm mostly clean bro [and yeah, I remember you :D!]

I ate some Mushies last night, I've done Coke once or twice in the last few months, and that's really about it. Pop some bombs once every other weekend, I'm just laying low-key, getting shit together, chilled out from a few years ago. I used to just smoke shards and shit and post constantly on Totse. Haha. Good times? yeah. Trying to get money to go back to school, heading to Ibiza, Spain in September.

How you been?

Hazey... Hmm, I know a bloke called Hazey.

Were you at Fundamentals 2 the other night?

I am alright. I have quit smoking bud recently so I have been a little moody this week. When you used to post I had problems with morphine and had quit for quite a while. Recently, I have been having problems with smoking tar h but now i have started to work through it. I have a job now learning how to do tile which I actually enjoy.
I remember you had some problems with coke and tweak but atleast you cut back, ya know? I remeber you were doing alot more than that when you were on here before so that is good you cut back you use a little. Good to see an old regular around though.
I never really talked to you outside of the board but I never had any problems with you on here or anything but I wasn't sure if you would remember me or not. You were always really cool to people on here though. You were very helpful, respectful, and informative.

its good you are trying to go back to school, I am going to the local community college now(well not in the summer) and I really enjoy it. That sounds really cool that you are going to spain.

he works on a naturalist ship in the siberian arctic. hes doing ok with life, leave him alone.

Yeah, bro. I remember some Morphine posts by you, I believe. My memory's shot to hell from so many years of abuse. Tile work up in Washington pays good money, $20+ an hour, I have some friends who do that, and I might be trying to get on it also. About to join the local union paying good money so I can get enough cash to make it to Ibiza, but with good money comes good drugs, and that's where things get shot to shit again.

I had a job that made good money awhile back and it costs me a lot more then I thought - due to the 'excess' cash that I had floating around I could afford higher and better quality shit, and quantity. I guess I was just young and dumb, that was the problem - with to much money and not enough dreams.

But I have my situation under control at the moment, I am proud of you for going back to school - lord knows I need to. However, I have much traveling to do - and lately I've just been trying to recover from years of drug abuse and enjoy life without as many drugs. Killed a million valuable experiences, and made a million.

Not starting new, but definitely taking my past into consideration.

Hey Zex, you seem to know what is going on with him right now. Why don't you enlighten us as to why he isn't shipping out past orders? Seems like there are more then a few people that haven't received orders.

I'm sure everyone will finally leave him alone if he gives back all the money that he has stolen.

why don't you people drop that already. so, you lost a little bit of money while buying something over the internet. boo hoo. like you've never made a mistake.

fucking suck it up. if you were one of the people that knew him and knew he's a good person, you wouldn't be bitching. and the fact that you are shows how ignorant you are of the facts. he was a good person that something bad happened to, and he's starting over. let him be.

If he's a good person, he wouldnt steal. So you are full of shit origamimavin.

He is a thief.

It is very simple. What are you, his fuck buddy?

He was always good with me and shipped everything out :) Got all my stuff+ free stuff! :)

What's up Hazey?

I remember so many of your threads on BLTC when I used to be a regular.

What's good, bro?

seriously.

i feel sorry for this guy for whatever problems came up in his life, but it's no excuse for swindling hundreds or thousands of dollars off your customers.

i mean, he left his site up and accepting money for a YEAR after he stopped shipping out orders... it ought to have taken him less than five minutes to write

The thing is he has shown he is not a good person and karma catch up some way or another, eventually.

Probably left it up to make extra money. i hope someone reported him. There is no reason to be scared of reporting him.

I remember you. It's fucked that my mind is so shot but I still remember people I posted with on Totse. Not much is up, bro. Just got off work. How you doing, man? :D


And to the Rizzo - I thought you fucking disappeared off the face of the earth I read something from someone on Myspace asking if they knew what happened to you, etc. You had me worried, thought you were dead.

MGB didnt make a mistake. he DELIBERATELY stopped shipping merchandise while DELIBERATELY leaving his site up and accepting payments when he had no intention of ever shipping the merchandise.

He is a thief and a scammer and should be arrested. End of story. It does not matter how good of a person you are/were if you steal from your loyal customers.

If you bought something and paid for it you should recieve it. there is no excuse for this kind of theft.

As for reporting him to someone, I am not really sure how to do that. And as for G_P and Ilovechronic, you might be two of many people that got scammed by him. I know I was. Hell I sent him money twice, thinking he was a reputable online source.

Turns out he is just another low life that steals from the trusting. Nothing new for Totse though, hell he is norm around here. But you get nothing for free, things catch up to people no matter how far they run.

Hey man.

Yeah I know, I remember both you and Rizzo.

I know what you mean, I haven't been on here in a while and it's good to see some of the old posters that I can remember!

I always remember you being real big into rolls and raves etc.

I always loved my acid and the occasional benzo haha.

Anyways, same shit here man, just working full time, chillin, growing etc. hahaha

good to see you are well.

No, I never bought from him thank goodness. I dont really know how you could report him now. When the site was still up I think you would report it to the better business bureau and they would investigate it.
