To be fair the bison in Yellowstone seem suuuper benevolent to how close they are to humans, so it's easy to think "poo poo I'll just get a few feet closer" without assuming any danger.

Source: I've woken up to a Yellowstone bison pissing on the corner of my tent while I was in it mere feet away. It couldn't give one poo poo about me or anybody else around.

That one is always a classic to me. It is magical they actually sent out the 'mystery boxes' it wouldn't have been nearly as fun had they just not received anything.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

There's even more schadenfreude in that thread after the internet detectives show up but it all ends with a fizzle. :(

Just read his posts about what he claims the stock is and what he actually sends out. It's clear he was 100% lying about the 'big' items and mostly lying about the medium items.

The misrepresentation of the composition of the bags went way beyond simple variation in the bags straight into scam. You can't say 20% dollar store items and every bag has at least one medium item and ship 90% dollar store items with only a few bags having even a 'medium' item that doesn't even come close to what the total value of what every bag was supposed to contain.

Also disappearing and scrubbing your online presence as soon as people start getting their bags, that's another red flag.



Btw sorry guys, I will think harder before deciding whether to post my ill-considered attempts at humor going forward.

Also I think they discovered that the first couple of "buyers" who posted were part of the whole scam by comparing usernames or something.
