There's no logic to this theory...let me get this straight...
He spends maybe 8 years posting over 3000 comments on the Astral Pulse and generating a mass following...
...he writes a book which he hopes to publish( and I'm sure based on his posts it would have been very good)
...and yet rather than doing it legitimately through a publisher he takes money from 2 people giving them hollow promises then disappears. Not a very good financial return for all those years of effort and apparent deception.
Doesn't add up for me. Isn't it more likely that he simply died before he got to send these people anything?
That puzzled me as well… I think it was more than two people tho only two seemed to come out of the woodwork but one was quite significant… a moderator of the pulse… but, why not have the fiduciary straighten it all out…?? How hard would that have been… I have only speculation… which I won’t go into…

I don’t think I said ALL… I think I said a ‘quirk’ peculiar to a subset… the piltdown hoax, the girls who faked the pictures of the fairies and a host of others...
[/b] A History of British Media Hoaxes
In light of the recent media hoax where "The Daily Mirror" published fake photographs of British soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners, "The Guardian" has written a short blurb on famous British media hoaxes.
Source: media.guardian.co.uk[/b]I don’t think I said ALL… I think I said a quirk… but there was a good hoax against Hitler with the dead soldier who washed up on the Belgien (??) shore which gave the plan to attack at Calais… that one thing was responsible for the allied victory at Normandy… so hoaxes are not all bad…
