Yes and I can elaborate a before he “sends a NDA”( to stop uncovering who he really is) that he stated on Monday Jan 20th 2014, after reading what i’m spilling the beans about him, that he would have it ready by Weds Jan 22nd 2014. Knowing classic Ben, he states one thing and never follows through on deadlines, no surprise.
Anyways, it all started with my Porsche, and focusing on track stuff. He came to me at first and said there is a market for a RS4 exhaust, he told me there was a company that wanted to make them but they have no delivered for years. He told me a lot of RS4 guys track, and he wanted to get into tracking. When we started, i told him he needs to leave the pass behind and stop being inmature on forums. People hate him and it is because he is cocky, egocentric, sarcastic - and over all and ass how he is on the internet. Shockingly in person, he can’t look at you face to face and tell you what he really thinks, he can only type it out behind a screen. Anyways, we moved forward.
I have a great reputation on the Porsche forums. I’m well known so i focused on that. I don’t own an Audi but i did not know to the extend of who Ben was / how big of an ass he is on the internet and his quest against JHM. When i found out i told him to knock it off MANY times. MANY MANY times early May of 2012. I told him also to stop talking to Mick about our projects and giving him information. I don’t know Mick. I spoke to Mick twice on the phone and i told him to please stop talking about my company or products after some Porsche customers who own audi’s told me the havoc he was creating in the audi world along with Ben and how bad of a reputation he has.
Little by little things unfolded. People telling me about the mess he/mick was / is involving my company with, mixed with his missed deadlines on projects i made him in-charged of(like his NDA that i was suppose to get today), being involve in shady things, ranting about JHM. I have customers wire me funds straight to my account without a question or knowing what they are buying, that is the trust i have developed in the Porsche community.
He claims our partnership lasted over 1.5 year in some post i read- about him working for that long without getting paid. First, him and i only worked together officially for 8 months, I also offered to pay him on salary to motivate him, he rejected the offer - he stated he rather i used the money and invested on the business. When fired he also walked out with $, just about 2 exhaust for the RS4 along with other other misc items.
