So, I never saw the name in the FingerBlog thingy, but I pulled up the plaintiffs linkedin, and she went to Harvard, worked in Greece, and now works like 15 minutes from me :popcorn:
And hot.Not surprisingly, the top match on linkedin for Ashley York is a documentary maker. :popcorn:
I saw a documentary last year but the subjects were apes.

If the end game here is a documentary peek inside the minds of men or Internet romance, pretty brilliant play.

How can you get duped so easily? Everybody has access to webcams. If they don't show themselves to you with live video, they are just full of crap.
Pretty good point in 2013. Keep in mind that I and others first had contact with her in 2005. Different time. Recall the T'eo thing though -- they tries face timing a few times but he said "Lenny" would always have a blank screen and would make like her camera must have been broken. "What you can't see me?? But I can see you fine! I don't get it."). Eventually it's pretty stupid to believe I guess, but you could see how a 20 year old kid who wants to believe something could be duped.
There were webcams in 2005, Archimedes.

The last time non-fat Otis made a video was for Black Friday when he still lived in the city. He should not get near a webcam until he loses all the weight he has gained since then.

When one puts eye candy up on the Interweb, one has to cover all angles.

Also for those who read the Finger blog posts, Clair is the chick who they found out went to Harvard, went to Greece etc... So this guy's thoughts they maybe the two Harvard girls were behind this are wrong. Looks like this Ashley York chick basically stole this Harvard girls life and posed as her under the name Ashley York.
Or Clair is involved and the lawsuit is a clever smokescreen.I lean toward not, but we may be dealing with a female Moriarity here...

Just finished reading the Finger blog. Still can't believe she made a guy fly to the super bowl in Houston on a whim and stood him up there. That is just wrong. With all the guys she has done this to, you figure plenty aren't saying anything about it because they are embarrassed. I can't imagine what else she has done. I know it has been said over and over, but why on earth would anyone ever do this? It takes a lot of time and she gets nothing out of it. I think Otis is right, she is hideous and just totally gets off on the attention. But why does the dude play the role of Krista? What the F does he get out of it. Man, people are weird.
My wife agrees this was just done for attention and for the chance to live someone else's (more glamorous) life. She also thinks the lengths to which this chick went are pretty extreme.
watcha few episodes of Catfish on MTV. people are ####ed up and stupid.
I saw the previews of Catfish and like 10 mins of one episode, and I agree. What is unique about this scenario is that both Otis and Finger blogger said she was smart, well spoken and witty on the phone. I wouldn't be surprised if this chick really did go to Georgetown. Seems to be different than the folks that are on Catfish. It just makes it more mind boggling that someone smart and witty would waste their time to a cause like this.

My theory is that this person (or people) has to be well educated to keep multiple lies going with multiple people at the same time. My lies to the wife are generally minimal, but heck if I can remember them a few days later. I would think if these guys are feeling a connection with "ashley" there would be personal details shared. If I was talking to someone who couldn't remember any of my friends/family, that would be one of the first warning signs that something is fishy. Since no one has mentioned that as an issue, I'm assuming "ashley" was good at tracking those details.My guess is that "ashley" is either not attractive or is a man. This person loves the attention they get and this scam delivers a massive amount of attention. The only real payoff I see is the attention and hearing men say they care for her. I never knew about catfishing until the Te'o story broke. I saw mentions of the show on MTV here and clicked on it once while it was on. I caught about 10 mins worth while the kid was driving out to meet the "girl". The two things that stuck with me were when the kid said that he wouldn't care if she wasn't as pretty as her pictures because he liked who she was. After finding out its some young black dude, the guy doing the catfishing said that he did this stuff in hopes that someone would fall in love with his personality and not care what he looked like. As twisted as that sounds, I can at least wrap my head around that. This whole "Ashley York" doesn't seem to have an end game. I'm dying to hear all the details behind how this opperation is run. Number of people or motive.

Not true...there's captivating video of fat Oat handling some yardwork.
 
It always comes back to my weight doesn't it.
I prefer to circle back to your epic run and fall in online gambling.Maybe you are just not so good at the innernets. Ever think of outsourcing this to Cappy?

not sure that would help matters, pretty sure the only solution is Pickles
Agree. But I'm not sure he can afford Pickles.
Pickles and I have discussed this in the past. I'm pretty sure at multiple points I was on the verge of handing all my login credentials over to him.

I seem to remember video of a raccoon attack as well.
 
The payoff on this one kind of sucked as well. It was way better before he hired a team of detectives and then eventually gave up.
I guess it would have been satisfying for them to catch them, but I found it intriguing that they couldn't put it all together. The hardest parts to read were his emails to Ashley. I can't believe he shared something that pathetic with the rest of the world. Much like Manti Te'o, he seemed to live in this duality of understanding it was a hoax but talking about it like it was real.
Me either.
 
Has anyone besides me watched one episode of Catfish on MTV?The one episode I saw involved some college lacrosse dude in Michigan talking with a hot blonde on Facebook for over a year. The dudes on catfish track down the hot blonde and it turns out to be a 20-something gay black dude. They went on to ask the gay guy how many people he was having a fake online relationship with and his response was something like 'about 100.'
Watched every episode, I think. Pretty dascinating stuff (despite the show's contrived production).The myopic conclusion at the end of every episode is that "people are weird." But the reality of every person on that show is that they are starved for attention/romance movie-type relationship that they will go forward with whatever lie or "too good to be true" scenario to keep that "hope" going.

"Spoke poorly about UConn. Banned forever." Think you pissed off a UConn fan admin.
I'm not even sure what that means. The college? I don't know anything about them. If that's a real reason, I'm better off not being there. Thanks for the response. :thumbup:

So the chick who Ashley York was posing as for all these years is here. I believe this girl filed the lawsuit referenced earlier in this thread, against York, but they couldn't find York to track down and serve her with the complaint, and so the case was eventually dismissed.

We'll still never know who was behind Ashley York...
