Steinberg began asking me to loan him money within weeks of starting the Paracast, a long, drawn-out drama about giving his "life savings" to his brother in law, who was in some sort of protracted legal battle with some woman, the story was insanely convoluted and smelled to high heaven. If he and his wife are in such dire straights, why doesn't he move in with that family, surely they have a couch for them to crash on? Why do they have no one to ask for help? Perhaps it has something to do with burned bridges. I caught him asking guests for loans repeatedly, it infuriated me, and was part of the reason I finally bailed out of the show - and he was afraid that I would spill the beans on the Paracast forums, so I was banned within 24 hours of leaving. Draw your own conclusions.
He claims that it "appeared (his) financial situation was favorable" last fall? The many missives he was sending out at the time would directly contradict that claim. He went out and got a new car, and is bragging about it on the Internet, thinking no one would ever find out. I happened upon that bit due to the fact that he reached out to me a couple of weeks ago (I suspect to hit me up for money), and I was wondering why he would do such a thing after repeated demands that he never contact me for any reason. A small amount of internet sleuthing led me to that thread on the Kia owners forum.
And pray tell, where is he driving in that car, exactly? To a job? Nope, it's to buy coffee at a shop at least twice a day, as well as all their meals, he can't have a coffee maker at home due to his wife, as she can't be trusted to do anything in the kitchen (as in, boil water or cook for them). ALL their meals are takeout, at a significantly higher price than food prepared at home. Ask him about the details, it's all very enlightening.
Gene once told me that he had been evicted from a prior apartment due to not paying rent for a YEAR, and at the time, he felt slighted by the landlords for removing him from the building. He consistently refuses to take responsibility for his own life, the shtick at the end of that email of his cited in the OP says it all, doesn't it? It's everyone's fault except his own that he is not living with "luxuries". What a sleazy lowlife. I have little patience for shnoorers, and Steinberg is perhaps the lowest, scummiest shnoorer I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. He made his bed, now let him sleep in it.
