    I have a really dumb question, is "Max Vito" an actual and real person?

    Max is certainly his real first name, no idea about the second name.

    There is no boogey-man, nor Max Vito.

    The recent post (now gone) from the other site said I owed Max 5,000 pounds stirling.

    The recent UK judgment said I owed CG 5,000 pounds stirling.

    2+2=4.

    If you met a Max at a pub, ask for his id. He was a stand-in.

    Now, back to the thread topic.

    I don't remember Max saying how much money he was owed, but I may be mistaken.

    I don't know how much Joe Ford owes to Max Vito but I thought the amount the arbitrators ordered Joe Ford to pay to Chris Gardner is about $500,000 for attorney fees and costs advanced by CG and that Joe Ford also is to pay Kristi Lawson her share -- 30% or 10% -- of the OC's share of the auction proceeds, with CG to get a full 50% of the OC's share. Leaving Joe Ford with enough for bus fare.

    Sorry Joe but your maths are wrong (including the amount you owe is costs).

    I met your boogey man in the pub after the first hearing and he doesn't look a bit like CG. He was true to his word he bought me a pint as well as giving me this sticker for my car.

    Are you coming to the case managment hearing in February ?

    Dear Joey,
    Quite frankly, your poor amoral soul can't deal with the truth or reality. I read the Max Vito site and it made no reference to £5,000, and by the way its Sterling NOT Stirling. Boy, I bet you cringe every time I log on to this thread……

    There is only one topic now on this thread, and it’s all about you, and what you think you are entitled to, and what you’ve tried to do for money, to the name of Jacques Swaters.

    Earlier on, you managed to reel in a few unsuspecting FChatters into your narcissistic muck - the pathological "stink", because, their minds were polluted by your unfathomable lies and were subjected to the ridiculous conversations when you refused to remain topical, refused to answer questions, and brought in absurd excuses to thrust down their throats with all the logic of an angry five-year-old. Incredible that you are still posting on this thread (despite Judge Flaux’s orders), it’s as though you assume you have more than 2 followers here, in reality they are only the followers who didn’t keep their eyes on the ball at your Ping Pong games.

    The truth of the matter is this community sees you just as the Judges see you, broke, busted and never having owned a Ferrari or having any car savvy other than the books you looted from CG. You have a lot of gall to present yourself here as a high rolling Ferrari “Expert” when in fact you duped people into believing you, and now they know you have the capacity to lie, falsify documents, conceal truths, plus you disguised the truths about Karl Kleve and Kristie Kleve Lawson the frauds they are! FerrariChat became your avenue in life. A scripted illusion of the fantasy and high acclaim you like to believe you are living. An internet fiction character that doesn’t come off good in any courtroom. You deliberately withheld the truth on Kleve’s probate, you obtained false titles, you made Karl Kleve’s bank records disappear, you played Kleve for some American hero, when in fact he was as twisted as you are. Your game of legal nit witting is nothing less than extortion. Your hoax with Kristine Kleve plotting against the Swaters family is likely one of the worst Ferrari frauds I’ve seen. You should get down on your knees and apologize for the crimes you committed using this web site against the Swaters Family, horrible! God only knows what else you've done or will do next!

    Ever since your steady under-the-table income was cut off by CG, you've done well to keep yourself homeless and in the dog house, and forced to necessitate conning "investors" into your comic world. Now you’ve been exposed, called out by the Judges and everyone else – including Max Vito. It’s like watching a movie, a great actor you are, and you’re so good at what you do! Take one: You manipulated the situation to remain front and center and pretended you were in control while maintaining that illusion of power. You should win an Academy Award for the damage you’ve done.

    All the Judges in the case identified you as the "root of evil" blatantly lying to the courts, concealing evidence, contemptuous moves, and doctoring the truth to get the attention whether it is good or bad just to feed your narcissistic supply. Maybe you think you are entitled to behave like this regardless of committing frauds, breaking the law, or how your behavior afflicted the integrity of those involved in this case and their reputations. You go to extremes to get your way, such as calling the I.R.S. and putting Terry in jail. I wouldn’t be shocked if someone shoots you. Even Les Wexner has crawled into bed with you. And why? That’s something we will probably never know.

    So what is next "King" ? Some fake medical device, or a new way to process spoiled seafood in South Florida?

    I have another question for you that you probably won’t answer, so I’ll answer it for you…..

    Do you know why people with moral compasses don’t pathologically lie?

    The answer is: because their conscience doesn’t allow them to. Realize, when you have the ability to be a pathological liar, this behavior is something that decent people with mature and healthy emotional intelligence just don’t do. Shame on you.

    PS: I met Max Vito years ago in Monaco. He's a real guy. Something you know nothing about…. being real.

    And if that's the case, it raises the question as to why he has been involved in this saga at all - what's the connection / agenda ? He's certainly put a lot of work in to his website....

    Yes. Actually, having re-read Tom's post I believe the RM Sotheby's people were the ones who told him about Max trying to sell the fake 375 and also a SWB Replica project.

    Not so long ago, Joey Ford in his attempt to "Raise Funding", offered Max Vito some kind of deal. The deal involved "the Joey Ford-Kristie Kleve Lawson 375 Plus’ Crackpot" (I mean Jackpot). After their game of Ping Pong (back and forth because Joey always wins), Max received a reinvention of terms from Joey for a "new Ball game”. Not sure what that was….

    I read that Ford joined the Wexner team of lawyers, both in London and in Ohio to supply information to them on how to remove Robert Brooks from the Bonhams board of directors – at a time when Bonhams was for sale and when Sotheby’s was acquiring RM Auctions (summer of 2014).

    One small detail….Les Wexner is a Director for Sotheby’s. He was also a friend to A. Alfred Taubman, Sotheby’s CEO who’s mission was to raise Sotheby's to it’s former glory. Taubman died in late 2015. Taubman and Wexner were close, and Wexner was on the "Shortlist" to visit Taubman during his Federal Pen time for crimes with another auction house - Christies. When Wexner visited him in prison, he would bring rolls of quarters so Taubman could buy hamburgers from a vending machine. This Wexner liaison with Taubman being in close association with Sotheby’s has certainly placed him close to the interest of making Sotheby’s his one and only in the market place. Wexner buys most of his Ferraris from RM Auctions, and buys most of his art from Sotheby’s. Wexners’ eye for art has translated into a gallery of great Ferraris. A friend of mine who used to be partners with Wexner described his collection to me as an "Art Gallery, laidened with Picassos". Seems a bit strange Wexner entering the Bonhams tent for the first time in 2014, makes it hard to believe a billionaire would enter the negative media mill for a simple Ohio title dispute caused by Ford when in fact there really was no "real” dispute. There must be more to it than this.

    Remarkable is this; At a time in June 2014 when Sotheby’s is buying RM, and Bonhams is selling to the Chinese, Wexner lodges a fraud suit against Bonhams based on a FerrariChat post by Phatboy. Quite amazing, and no doubt all connected with multiple agendas.

    Here’s something else added to the story;
    Was Tom Shaugnessy involved in the 375 plus stolen parts? I believe, according to the FBI reports a "Tom bought stolen parts from a Mr. Trout, taken off of Karl Kleve". I imagine that could be the dis on Max Vito here. Maybe Tom can explain his involvement in the stolen parts. I don’t know the details. If Tom could post the police report on Max’s gearbox conversion, that could prove more.
