Jorgen Garlin

R.I.P., Jorgen!

Strange that there's no single word from Mike about Jorgen - I mean, Jorgen was his biggest enemy since 20 years...

I'm not so sure about that.

As we know, not hearing from Mike is nothing new. But I believe there could be some kind of strategy involved. For one, he has to invent a new story. If he waits a while, maybe some people will forget about E65 being a scam and start believing in it again?

Yes, he often came across as someone who was using his forum to express his personal vendetta against Mike or to get back at him. Sometimes their behavior was really childish. He would say there was no paperwork, no banks, no law firms, and no payout, but he never gave the concrete examples that the Admins did, like when they provided the exact words from a lawyer who said he never heard of Mike.

this is really the big picture here. this is nothing to slight him as a person, but I've been talking about this because of his childish behavior.

I imagine the stress of bottling it all in, just in general, may even have contributed to his demise, if only a tiny bit.

There are several emails in 2010 written in his general typing style where he outright goes and tells people to send money to him, pretending the payout was happening. It is very suspiciously similar to his, using an email that e65 itself did not use.

But, if we want to hop off speculations, I can indeed, of course, provide more instances where it's proof of the childish vendetta ever thought with nothing backing it up.

I wouldn't be as critical if he actually used his proof to do something instead of flinging 'claims' at people, including banning people for bringing up reasonable concerns at the time, back when the signs weren't nearly as obvious, including going to lengths to apparently 'detect' when mike would make an account and ban it (but not the 50,000 bot accounts selling god-knows-what that logged in every fortnight, oh no), pretending to leave the forum by changing his name, and my favorite, flinging insults to an actual member in emails i have saved. Actual adhoms, by the way.

He would've been far better off running a blog, not a forum, because he didn't want to discuss with people, he just wanted to push his views irregardless of what others thought. No matter how much he was right in the end, he was the one asking for $50,000 for a case he would ultimately never follow up on because of his distraction with running his mouth online to a ghost town that ended up being his forum.

I do not deny that his proof was significant, and that he was right. But ultimately, any proof that the program was not real wasn't gonna come from him because he held himself back. And look where that got him.

This is why I always said the man was never a saint. Even here, he attempted to sabotage for a brief period of time, despite that people here were slowly on the fence, leaning negative, before the admins even said a word. Is it any surprise, given what I've said above, that he would act in this way? Regardless of his being right or not, do you consider that to be acceptable behavior?

It certainly wasn't for his own body, and wherever he is, I hope he finally gets the chance to rest in peace.

the other e65 forum is up again.

I am reminding the hosting provider that Jorgen Garlin agreed with the CEO to have the renewal fee waived till April 18, 2025 in case he passes away while hospitalized (what finally and unfortunately happened!).
