Scott Samuel
Scott Samuel and Yakim Almaleh are back with new dot com ideas:
http://ambu.sh – Some kind of Runescape (yes, that Runescape) stats aggregator.
http://imagi.ne – Possibly some kind of micro donation site for charities or some other goodwill induced transactions.
Scott and Yakim were part of a failed site called AuctionEthics.com a few years ago, and left a lot of people abandoned, stranded in the Chicago area. Now it appears they’ve been using the same tactics and behavior to lure people into their latest projects.

“Temporary Labs” is the Illinois based LLC company set up to manage the sites. Scott is some kind of manager or “visionary”, and Yakim, residing in Canada, is considered the “CEO”.
Use the search on the right to find more information….
Parents and investors beware, Scott Samuel’s getting ready for another launch, leech, or losing opportunity.
His new Google Profile lists himself as a Strategic Consultant (hee hee). He’s STILL trying to shoot rainbows out of his ass, and see who’s smellin’ them.
No mention of the morning erections with pre-teen boys, the door he hacked with an axe, the grandma abuse, the xanax fits, the pot in the garage, if his mom’s cookin’ steaks, or if he repaid the people and investors that he screwed out of time and money.
I am the person who founded the 3rd party auction services industry out of a spare room in my home when eBay was Auctionweb My initial hobby website eventually became Honesty.com, which by June of 1999 was ranked #22 in terms of overall global web traffic. Between 1985-1998, I owned and operated one of the first online ‘social networks’ which, at first, utilized dial-in connections, and later the Internet. Prior to that, I ran one of the earliest Chicagoland BBS’. I have been a member of the online world since late 1980.

Yakim Almaleh, once an employee of Ethical Technologies, and current buddy of Scott Samuel, labels me an online stalker in his latest twitter update. Still, after all these years. I’ve never met or talked to Yakim, and the people familiar with the Ethical Technologies situation claim that he leanred his lesson with Scott’s Shenanigan’s, but then again, maybe not.
Of course, it may not be Yakim posting the twitter updates, as it seems Yakim is also listed as the owner of the ScottSamuel.net domain name. Maybe Scott hijacked Yakim’s bank accounts and Canadian passport? Do Canadians have passports?
In related news, Scott Samuel removed all his tweets of him dropping “hints” to people of his next big ecommerce related “project”, “and it has a dual edged revenue model”. Yeah Scott, sure it does. Maybe he had Yakim remove those tweets too.
Anyway, this dig by Yakim probably means Scott is still onto “something pretty amazing”. That could be goofy gas at the dentist, Vicodin, or 15 pounds of California weed, I haven’t seen any specifics yet.
The list of investors is growing smaller and smaller.
{mosimage}”All we need now is a comet and some kool aid” is right!
Scott Samuel crawls out from a rock, and shoots rainbows out of his ass on the PeSA forums!
This is hilarious. Some think he’s that loon Scot Wingo, some don’t know who he is, and others just start lapping up the kool aid!
At first, I didn’t think this was the “real” Scott Samuel, but you’ll be able to tell really quick that it’s him. He’s the SAME OL’ SCOTT! And PeSA turns a blind eye to his shenanigans!
He calls his new blog, a “community portal”, he uses a “potential” tagline… he gives everybody a “backgrounder” on his successess! He cleverly uses the word “fecal matter” at first, but then throws around “shit” and “f***”
I’ll SAY IT AGAIN… “HILARIOUS”. I didn’t see a “Hiyas” though, maybe he still gassed up from the dentist.
If these PeSA people fall for this again, there truly is no hope for them. I wonder if Scott’s dad is “allegedly” still paying his bills, and I hope no doors get axed this time around.
UPDATE:Scott abusing Twitter as only Scott would!

{mosimage}Seems like Scott Samuel (former CEO, Honesty.com and EthicalTools.com) is still trying to launch yet another “million dollar idea” with low or no paid workers, and bungling attempts to get financing for the endeavors.
In one instance, “USA Vote Today” was to be some kind of social networking site for 2008 election. Needless to say, work wasn’t getting done on the project, and money wasn’t coming in for it, so it died a slow death, with Scott throwing one of his many tantrums when he found out he was going to be left out of the development. Of course, the next thing that happened is a number of threats, and general Scott Freak Out behaviors.
With his latest failure, it seems Brian Deloria and “Mikey” weren’t involved with Scott in this plan. Did they get smart, get tired of Scott, or did Scott separate himself from them? Some of Scott’s familar traits were repeated often times in his latest endeavor… mention Honesty 1000 times, eat a bunch of fresh french fries from MickeyD’s, get gassed, make threats, bitch about his life, theaten to ruin somebody, rinse, and repeat.
Allegedly, he’s out of cash again, and having his dad pay his debts, and may be living with him or Scott’s mother.
Again, if you’re a mother with a young son thinking Scott’s the messiah, or an investor trying to determine if you should throw money Scott’s way, beware. This is the guy that talked about his morning erections on a Runscape message board (RuneHQ), and somehow seems to convince people to work for him for free under threats and intimidation.
