While researching the new OP for this thread I found Lowtax's Notch rant, because it doesn't seem to be recorded in this thread:

What a grasping, entitled asshole.

There were a lot of goons playing Minecraft before it really took off, but so were people on tons of other forums. Leave it to Lowtax to believe that is was his forums that were the one and only catalyst to Minecraft's popularity.

Excellent write up. The only minor fault I can find is I think the Patreon was at about $14.5k when it started falling because of Logan / Ashli but that could be my memory playing tricks on me.

The last time I took a grab of the Patreon it was about $150.

@Spunt

Good work. That must have taken you quite a bit of time to research and write up, and you did it for free.

I noticed a slight oopsie in part 2: Richard's Patreon drops below $1500, then below $8000, then below $1000. I think you might have a paragraph in the wrong place.

(That, and "Kiwi Farms" is two separate words, but everyone and their dog gets that wrong.)

Excellent write up and send off. It covered the major items. It left out some of his other attempted ventures like Doom House and harebrained ideas like his own beer. Doom House did come out but he talked about making it into a trilogy. These ideas were only entertained by Richard until he went into his next opiate haze. Also non-methmouth Mandy and his absolute poor treatment of this unfortunate looking girl who looked like Ralphie from A Christmas Story up until she died. Also his time as an English teacher in China. Lowtax has done so much lolcow shit over the years that it’s hard to keep track of it all.

His time in China, sort of like PROJECT TITAN, there isn't a lot of information about. I'm sure he was a fuckup, but there's limited info about just how big of a retard he actually was.

Logan was a real gift to this thread because being a BPD cokewhore she was incapable of not airing every scrap of dirty laundry to the public.

That would actually have been a good idea for anyone but Dickard. He'd never go through with it because it would take some actual work. Even doing something fairly mediocre like a generic beer kit with some added ingredient (MANGOSTEEN oatmeal stout) could probably have been overpriced to the point of turning a decent income with minimal effort.

But even minimal effort was too much for Dickard.

That is a fucking amazing writeup so in goon fashion I'm going to nitpick about little details.

  • The link here is broken:
  • Liveban Night was December 31 2019, not January 22 2020.
  • This may be a bit more gray: My read of the parental kidnapping police report suggests that the police never met in person with Ashli at all. The first investigative supplement is timed for 1/21/2021 at 7:31 AM, and was the officer "leaving a message" for Ashli. Four minutes later, the officer spoke to Megan and that investigative supplement ends with "I requested Megan to contact Ashli and have her call me about this report." The next investigative supplement, fifteen minutes later, has her speaking with Ashli, who said she was at a DV shelter without legal assistance. The investigative supplement after that, 20 minutes later, has the officer reaching out to another DV shelter who then asked for Ashli's information in order to offer her legal assistance in her divorce with Richard.
    • My autistic conclusion is that the policewoman's interactions with Ashli consisted entirely of phonecalls; they didn't escort her to the DV shelter or anything else like that.

Bravo, @Spunt, @Pissmaster, @Sabrina and @Ghostse. You mad lads (and ladette) really made my day with this.

A+ write up dude. Should almost just close the thread now as theses posts serve as a nice "alpha and omega" to the Lowtax saga. When he shows up again licking toes of proud Latinxes in Argentina, we can return to the hunt like the Mossad.

Agreed. It's the perfect capstone to end the thread on. I'm sure we can make another thread for the ongoing fallout (and one for Momtax, possibly?).

The site isn't working well right now so I'm going to leave out the quotes but yes there is SO MUCH that Lowtax did and the "OP" is so long already. Supposedly the script that was being "pitched" in Utah was Doom House for one and all of the corrections that @Leonard Helplessness has above.

There's plenty that can be added, I'm still going through stuff that I already have and it's a matter of "Is this actually interesting or funny enough to put in the OP." Especially since most of it was posted in the thread and the majority of the links in the OP link to this thread, so those things will be seen by anyone that hops through the highlights if they want to know more.

Thanks everyone. I will be doing corrections/updates in the coming days, I've been a bit burned out on it because this thing took most of my free time for 3 weeks to put together. I've got more bits and pieces on their way to my inbox as various friendly Kiwis (notably @Sabrina , who has put in a huge amount of work on this thing) dig up more things. I chose to post it when I did because it was coherent and I had a busy rl period coming up.

In particular, if anybody does have any information about LowT's time in China, that's something none of us were able to find enough well-sourced information on to include.
