    Desmond is for sure in Korea and he will provide us valuable information tomorrow.

    Been patient for only a few more hours will save you the trouble of rectifying tomorrow and will help maintaining the good vibe of this effort
    The only thing that can hurt future initiatives is if it turns out that Desmond was trolling us. No one is minimizing the efforts of members of this forum or those of Desmond if he is for real. This person’s actions will be what determines how people respond to future initiatives. If he proves that he doing what he claims, great! If not, we’ve all learned a lesson.

        So You think Desmond is making an effort of faking pictures etc AFTER he got the money on his Paypal account? Why in the world would he do that?

          One of the pictures Desmond posted was a stock picture from as far back as 2009.

            Yes, so what? Desmond is a gentleman and he shared a picture from some famous monument on Jeju Island. Have you never sent a postcard that someone else made?

              Desmond only claimed the first pic is his, he doesn't implies the second pic was taken by him, considering he linked to another website, while the first pic is from an upload site

              The first pics was taken with a Galaxy Note II in case he commented about it somewhere else

              I don't see why not trust him right now, it's not like he fell in any contradiction

              The problem is that this is a misunderstanding. He did said he took a pic himself (the first pic) and didn't clarified the second pic was from somewhere else, but also, he never implied it was his. If he had said it was his, then that was a red flag, but this is not the case

              I don't see why people need to get all defensive and even wish baldness on some posters, those are honest concerns, and in this case these concerns can be settled fairly easy with counter-arguments, not blind faith

                Thats absolutely fine. Desmond worded it as he took the picture.

                "Now first things first, lets start with my first pic from Jeju Island"
                "And another of its famous monuments"


                Like i have said in a previous post, i have faith in Desmond tho finding the reverse image search was a shock.

                People need to calm down. Nobody has personally attacked him. People have just asked for some proof. Proof that will be shown tomorrow.

                    Hello..

                    May I ask something?

                    When I right click and open the stone monument picture in new tab
                    I then right clicked again at the stone monument picture and click "examine component"

                    The following information came out:
                    "<img style=" - webkit-user-select: none;cursor: - webkit-zoom in;" src http://placesfortour.com/jejuisland/tol-haruebang-statues.jpg" width="1038" height="649">"

                    http://placesfortour.com does not look like a site you can upload own photos.
                    I am pretty decent with computers but I really, really trust Desmond as he, as long as I have been comming by, been a helpful person to this forum.

                    Could anyone explain this for me?

                      Because he used a pic from somewhere else, the problem is that Desmond used some unfortunate wording. I can see why some people see it as him claiming the two pics were taken by him

                      But he never implied the second pic is his, he just wanted to show some monuments.

                      I don't see the big problem, there is no contradiction here.

                        Hehe. To all the sherlocks out there: the 2nd picture Desmond linked from the internet. The first was taken today: http://regex.info/exif.cgi?dummy=on&...m%2Ffmtm9z.jpg

                        Also if you google search pictures ( https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sb...ed=0CFIQ9Q8oAA )

                        you see that it was not taken from the internet.

                        Nothing wrong with being critical but please do you use brains. If Desmond really wanted to scam us, why would he even be still here ?

                          Even if he had been bragging that he took such a great pic but he really did not take the pic that would not show that he's cheated anybody. That would only show he doesn't have a ton of faith in his picture taking ability so he used a stock pic and wanted us to think it was his own pic so that we would think he takes good pics instead of having to resort to stock pics.

                          All the negative poo being said is nonsense.

                          People should wait till tomorrow night and pipe down.

                              Desmond's IP and email are both stored by BTT. Paypal has all his personal info as well. Plus he's been a devoted member here for years, its not like it was a master plan either.

                              I can't believe members can't wait ONE DAY to see the presentations from Desmond and for all the wrong reasons too; I can't wait because I wanna know what Dr. Cotsarelis has up his sleeve.

                                Cheers for clearing that up. I couldn't find any info on the first picture. The 2nd did throw me a little lol
