Blogger Casey Serin Shuts Down His Blog

May 31st, 2007

Casey Serin, the guy who got in heaps of financial trouble buying too many houses, finally shut down his blog, I Am Facing Foreclosure. Sad that it had to end this way but if I think he did it for the reasons I’m thinking of, he did the right thing.

Basically, in his final posts he talked about how he had signed a contract with his wife that he would get a real job and bring in $1,000 a week immediately or shut down the blog. I think he had to choose between his wife or the blogosphere, and if that’s the case, he made the right choice. One made a vow, the other didn’t.

Don’t Hate Casey Serin seems to confirm this.

Of course, this raises the general subject of what would make you shut down your blog. I think we all have our limits whether we realize it or not.

I found the whole saga of Casey Serin rather fascinating. There are still conspiracy theories (read the comments here) that the whole thing was a scam in itself as the past few weeks were a flurry of link selling and donations, and it all seems to have been for naught. Oh well. Personally I don’t think the guy was smart enough to pull off a scam of those proportions.

And don’t worry, if you still need your Serin fix, just consult the CaseyPedia. The guy had a Wiki documenting his travails. Sheez.

Update: An extremely detailed, spot on analysis of what Casey did wrong over at Below The Crowd.

  • Was definitely fun while it lasted.. Maybe he'll be on 60 minutes next.
  • It was only a matter of time before he realized he was a real threat and liability to himself....exposing his own fraud...
  • I guess we'll have to learn the rest of the Casey Serin story in the more traditional news outlets of newspapers and television.

    I feel sorry for him. Why doesn’t he go back to whatever he was doing with computers? Probably because of the recession. It's made things so hard on people they are working in places they normally never would. Take me for instance, my business failed. Now I have to go back to work for someone else making 80k per year in a corner office. Bummer.

    I remember working as a valet. It was a time in my life where I felt like the biggest failure. Getting $1 tips per car. Barely making rent. And going nowhere in life.

    It's nice he is thinking positive. However you don't make anymore "connections" than the waiters who serve the food or the hostesses who open the door.

    If he has resorted to Valet parking things have gotten really tough for him.

    I will say without hesitation Casey Serin is a fool if he has not already declared Bankruptcy.

    Either way I feel bad for him and hope he pulls himself up over the next 2-3 years.

    And another thing - his wife was a complete selfish modern American bitch for leaving him. Correct me if I'm wrong but his blogging website was already taking off when she said "it's me or the website". Then he chose her and she STILL divorced him.

    This is the true nature of our post-feminism liberated women era in our modern society. And just another example of why a man should not get married or put his dreams aside for any reason much less the ultimatum of any women.
