Thanks to a few courageous folks like Li and the power of social media, the truth about this liar, thief and bully and his misdeeds isn't in the shadows.

Much like when sponsors dropped Bill Cosby in droves when the truth about his actions came to light, the same is occurring with this other Bill. Being associated with Bill is bad for the brand. The ACA and the local club hosting the annual ACA convention dropped him because of all of the outcry. There are no shortage of others that have and will follow.

That Bill is a bad guy, who has a long line of clubs, businesses and good, decent people in the hobby that he's burned, is not in dispute. It's really up to individuals and sponsors to decide whether they want to support Bill and his business called (E.C.C. / Slippery Fisch, Inc.). It's their choice: yes, you can buy some fish in his auctions / personal fund-raisers and drink some free beer...and Bill's relentless shilling does in fact drive business for his sponsors (as long as they continue to pay / support him).

But at the end of the day, wouldn't it be better for hobbyists and sponsors to deal with ethical, decent people?

This guy has no passion for fish. His only passion is to pocket money from donations and auction events he promotes relentlessly. A fish forum is supposed to support vendors and fish clubs to promote the hobby, but he sees local fish clubs his rival competitors and promotes certain vendors over others because he received more donation. This is why he would not allow local fish clubs to advertise events in his forum for fear of stealing his auction patrons. Now I learned that he has done even worse. He has committed fraud by pocketing Kovention revenue and passing the hotel bill to someone else. Now that his organization is ostracized by local and national fish clubs, I wonder how long it will last.

WOW, What f--k, I need to join Facebook I just heard of this at the ACA in bits and pieces and had to find out what was going on. I have been a member of that other forum for as long as I have been I member here. I'm in shock I can't believe anyone could " lose" that much money and not have a valid explanation. Li I am so sorry for your troubles, it was a true pleasure meeting you at K2 and having you constantly running up my bids my son was even laughing about it. I'm not sure why if he was in charge of the funds why he didn't use his credit and needed to use yours, but we can probably guess. Why hasn't he been charge or arrested for grand larceny or atleast sued. Eventually he will burn all his bridges and will be no more, I believe what goes around comes around sometimes it just takes awhile. Let's see how long it takes for me to get banned from that other forum.

No wonder there is very little traffic over there. They're too busy monitoring MFK. Also notice their members like to utilize the MFK marketplace if they want to sell something and need exposure. Nuff said.............;)
