Thread served the purpose as intended, no need to leave such personal stuff laying about. As per the thread title, the story I told was my experience with DDCC, and that was of the sort that nothing was accomplished as agreed upon, there for, I felt it necessary to enlighten the community to that fact.
You seem like a descent guy! Its bad that this happened to you man..
BUT I cant understand why you would invite somebody from a forum to your home!!! Thats crazy! Keep in mind.. the sun doesnt shine out of everybodys ass!
DDCC wasn't just "someone" off a forum though, he was a well respected member of the GPB community in the development of a motorcycle controller... and a business owner, or at least that is the story he gives us all here on the forum.
wasn't he developing the controller?
Sad story.
If you have the original boxes or pictures of the computer parts you want to sell, you may try to get some of your money back selling them second hand.

It's what I was under the impression of, but he said his business partners screwed him over.... but in the end when the truth came out it was his drinking problem that did him in. I spent far beyond my budget to develop the bike for the run, so in effect I blew through thousands and thousands more than I ever should have to be ready for testing by the time he was finished with the controller he never started working on in the first place. :'(

The main computer he built has since been sold, and a great deal of the small stuff is either being used for other things or sold off at severely reduced prices. Only things left to worry about is the random blue screens my computer keeps having since he left, it's like he planted a virus, and the absurd amount of money I have into my turbo bike that still sits without direction... I think at this point it will be setup for drag racing, but that alone is another can of worms I am afraid to open as a motorcycle builder as all development went into what I was building it for to begin with.
This is a very regrettable and sad story, and I've no doubt a hard lesson learned not only for you Grimme, but others too.....
As far as your computer is concerned, why don't you just do a full fresh re-install of the OS? That should sort out any possible virus problems he may have left in there.

i just got an idea: i'm in an overclock team ( those crazy guys who try to bring cpu's at the highest clock possible, 8,9 ghz is the world record ) use a program which finds out the code of the blue screen and what is caused by. if you try it you may discover why you're getting blue screens...

all blue screen of death codes have a significate
Grimm , that's terrible man crazy, but we don't want him in the Uk, we've got enough of those rats here already.
sorry to say this but if i knew you and i was around i would beat his drunk ass just for disrespecting you and hooking up with your mother man,you seem like a good person dont worry about it and remain the same person,as they say around here every obstacle is for good,i admire you for sharing this buddy,just dont stress over this(in case you have)at all,take care

After checking with a few people it seems something deep enough that the OS needs to be re-installed. I'll back everything up and see how that goes. I think if that doesn't fix it there must be a hardware problem, but I highly doubt that as I've checked that all over with the help of a guy that knows computers well.

Like it or not he got himself kicked out of the United States and is on his way back there some time. Not sure how long deporting a non-citizen takes from my country, but I would take a wild guess that the moment he steps foot into England he will be looking for someone new to "help" him. If he is sober then I would reckon he isn't the nightmare I dealt with, but as soon as the drinking starts it will probably all go back to the way he was here. :-\

He wanted me to fight him a few times, begged me for it too. I'm a mechanic, I stand 6'2" tall, grew up in a rough life and know how to fight like an animal due to it.... DDCC is 5'2" and 110lbs I think? Somewhere close to that at least. Standing side by side I am a giant next to him. Plus he is in his 50's and has lived a hell of a life that left him beaten and scarred, a few motorcycle wrecks over the years broke alot of him pretty badly and fighting him would just add injury over already nagging injury.... not that he wasn't asking for the beating I wanted so badly to give to him, it's just that he seemed miserable enough... it would feel it would have been like beating up a child, as I am unsure he would even fight back.
Just an advice grimm: don't write thing here you could one day regret. Even if you had all the reasons in the world to feel like this. Just to be sure ...
MaX.
Grimm i understand your position man and all that stuff that happened,but i think hornetmax is right
Just to be clear, I said that because a real nutter could potentially use the stuff you posted against you.
I know because one once almost did it to me :)

Thing I don't see being a problem is that if he wanted to clarify any of what I said it would be far uglier. I left a ton of it out that actually occurred, and during the time he was manipulating his way through the relationship with my mom he was lying about being in the USA legally, and also lying to me about why he was even asking for my help in the first place. He continuously threatened me, my brother, and my mother, and continues to contact her, despite her lack of desire to speak with him. I would stand up in a court of law and say exactly what I've said here plus a bunch. Enlightening the GPB community to this evidence of betrayal and deceit is standard community behavior on every forum I have been on. When one of us gets screwed over the others should know about it when it is a long standing and respected member that is not who they say they are.
Like I said, even if it burns me to the ground to say what I said, it's been said, it's out there, and I feel like it is worth any journey (good or bad) I may embark on if it comes to that. I would sacrifice myself to prevent anyone else getting fucked over by Allan. He did the complete opposite of what we discussed before he even had a bus ticket, I was used and abused by his behavior and I feel the community deserves to know about it when he is asking/working for your hard earned money in exchange for a product that doesn't even exist yet, and he quite literally has none of the means to produce it at this juncture either.

Max, the real nutter here is me, for letting a con man into my life despite everyone around me protesting my decision. I am a motorcycle mechanic by trade, I work 100% local, and my business floats because I'm a good mechanic, not because people think I'm a great guy on the internet. Whatever Allan decides to say/do about what I've said is on his head, as it is on mine to say what I've said. I gave him many chances to not be in the position he currently sits smack dab in the middle of, but his decisions and behavior ran his ship aground and I'll go down on it since I decided to board the damn thing to begin with.
I'm just at a point where even if I look like a cunt after it all, at least he is exposed for the person he really is underneath all the big talk on the forum.
I live a life where I could turn off my computer and never have to turn it back on again. The internet is nice to have, but it is not required in my line of work or my lifestyle. I'm here by choice. Leaving this all behind isn't really out of the question for me so I feel I don't have anything to loose by saying what's on my mind on the matter of a controller developer not following through with his word on building a controller in exchange for help not being homeless.
All fine grimm, but as silly a sit may sound, somebody could take what you've written here, print it and create you a big bunch of problems, no matter if you were right or wrong in anything you said. Not sure you'd like to have that on top of what you already have experienced, even if if he's been sent back to england, he's probably not in a position to cause additional trouble to you.
