So it has come to my attention that PbnJ has been very shady and essentially robbing the smash community

He has abused and exploited the niceness of a lot of his friends and, more recently, the Smash community.

He asks for loans/plane tickets under false/misleading pretenses regarding repayment.

If you ignore the countless incidental debts he's accumulated in the form of gas moneys, tourney fees, and snacks/meals, he still owes close to $1k.

He lies about situations to save face while he blames his own FRIENDS and their name gets tainted.

He then manipulates and guilt-trips people into "letting go of" [giving up on] his debts to them. Either that or he lies and makes up excuses to explain why he doesn't have the money or how he's going to pay them back.




This is the word I have gotten from multiple people. Now he has never really wronged me personally (except for guilting me into buying a tshirt i didnt want that much cuz it wasnt even my size, lol) but I do not stand for this kind of treatment among my peers.

Being the host of *pound* 4 i'll be the first to say that pb&j wont be present at *Pound* 4. I'll have security make sure so.

If you read this Pb&J don't take this as a personal stab as much as a memo to shape up. You can't do that to your "friends" even if your intentions aren't bad, although from what I've heard I really don't know what your intentions are anymore.

Here is my story about PBnJ its kinda...sad.


He approached me several times to buy these t-shirts ( I thought all of them looked horrid and I preferred to just avoid it as i was just enjoying ROM at that time.). When I was leaving he asked about selling T-shirts at Saffron. I said I would think about it but it is not my venue. He then begins to post things about selling at my tournament. Mind you I do not own this venue.

THEN...


So at Saffron he comes up to me talking about a National Circuit and several financial backers for this circuit. My interest is kinda peaked and I ask him to email me and send me a business plan. What I saw next was probably one of the saddest things in my life. He pulls out a crumbled piece of paper. Mind you this was in his pocket and it looked like either a tissue or a old receipt with words written on it. He attempts to show this to me thinking I am going to believe that it was a business plan. So I asked him to email me...which I never got.


A lot of this was told to me by Chopz so I was already ready for this stuff but its really sad to see he has done this to a lot of people beyond just me.

i mean take a receipt in your hand and just shove it into your pant pocket. Then after 5 hours take it out.

call me a jerk but Crismas can make shirts 10x better.

Ok sorry guys.

Basically he pulls out this crumbled paper trying to show me his proposal. I never said it was a business plan. I instructed him to email me with the information and a biz plan attached
