Thank you guys for your support, but I'm not taking any donations unless it's to a general fund for all of Bob's victims. There are many I've spoken with that have given Bob their life savings or taken 2nd mortgages on their houses. Their are others that are still struggling through horrible diseases or serious life changes AND have to deal with this jerk. My perspective is quite different. I look at all of this and can't help but know that there are worse things in life than losing money. I've lost a perfect husband and a perfect father to my kids. Money is just money. I've been just as happy living paycheck to paycheck as I have with a little more padded bank account.
I have been so vocal because Bob and his family have been killing people's dreams without a care in the world of how it effects us. I don't have the car bug. I lived with someone who did for 13 years and he's passed on the passion to our 9 year old son. My husband's eyes would glow thinking about this car. We were only together for 13 years and he bought or sold 13 cars in that length of time. He was crazy in love with them all (Well, maybe not my Kia or wagon.). My son wants to live in his dad's Corvette until I give him the keys when he's 25. I assume by reading people's posts and stories that you all share this passion. Bob has killed over 100 people's dreams. I know as the non-car person that it will be very hard to talk a spouse into pouring money into something new after losing all this. That hurdle can only be reached after a lot of you have spent many years paying off the loans for this failure. Realistically, most of the victims will not be able to fulfill their dreams.
Bob and his family have maliciously set out to steal money from you. They have targeted people that are blinded by their passion and life circumstance. Looking back on your transactions, I'd bet many are asking yourselves just what they hell you were thinking and how you could be so stupid. Hopefully you'll realize that there are lawyers and people at the top of their fields - supposedly smart people like you - that were duped right along with you. Bob and his family are professional, amoral thieves. They know what to say and do to gain your trust. They are about the lowest kind of people you could find.
When Bob, Erica, Zak, and anyone else involved are in jail for a very long time, I will feel that my husband has been taken care of. I don't need the money as much as most or all the rest of you because I don't plan on buying a replacement and I don't have a spouse that will be on me for losing it in the first place.
