I'm a moderator on a gigantic money making machine/website known as the www.banjohangout.org.
Ive faithfully moderated the site for free for many years now, only to find out that the Owner/Eric Schlange has lied to us about the site being a non-profit site.
The site makes money off of my labor as a mod and all the other accounts I have in my name as well. { I have many many many ghost accounts there, to give the appearance that there is a active community on his site. I have over 9, ooo accounts.} This is for the sponsors and members alike. The more members we pull in the more money he makes from donations and sponsors. Its gotten to the point of me setting up all night to make these ghost accounts.
Many Members think they are talking to their Pal in Arizona, California, North Carolina, Georgia, even Canada and and Australia, But no their only talking-chatting-typing with me, the ghost account moderator. It's all a game to get your money folks.
I never felt like I was scamming anyone by making these accounts, until I found out that the site is NOT a non-profit site.
He makes money on sponsor fees, donations and shirt sales.
He claims that all of this "profit" is non-taxable because he suggests that his site is totally non-profit. Well I'm here to anonymously speak out. If he ever finds out that I posted this message my account on his site will be locked. I don't want to get locked out yet until I can notify a few pals Ive made over the years.
So if anyone ever asks me I will have to deny I ever made this complaint. But the TRUTH is now out for all to see.
Many kind folks donated their hard earned money to the site only for it to go into the pocket of Eric Schlange.
