that’s what is fucked up about this whole thing. no one wanted to listen when people have been spreading proof for months, but it took a loud crazy woman on social media to make people listen. society is fucked

Goons. Goons are fucked. Most anyone outside of SA aware of the situation believed prior accusations. If anything the fact that goons flipped on Lowtax over the least credible of the various domestic violence accusations is proof society's operating normally. Even when they (finally) do the right thing, you can count on them to do it for the wrong reason.

As many others have said, alkies don't buy expensive craft beers, they buy malt liquor or MD 20/20 or box wine or whatever the hell else will get you fucked up cheapest. But Richard likes Boulevard beers.

He's getting REALLY lazy with his lies.

Agreed. No they don't, they buy spirits, or at worst the shit you mentioned... Not one alcoholic that I have had the displeasure to meet that has been as far gone as 'Tax or Bogan (If Loltax is to believed) buys anything less than spirits and beer is just breakfast. Even Box winos end up on cheap spirits because it's even cheaper bang for buck in the end...

I could believe it if she had to rely on him buying it and had zero of her own money, but I find that hard to believe because she was the marketing manager for a very successful website, and also sh.... Ah fuck can't even go there...

So... Lowtax was in bed when he called the police and when they arrived... and "had difficulty moving on the bed" but still refused medical attention? Lowtax also claims he slipped and "took her down with him"?

If Lowtax' back is that bad, why is he in the basement and not on the first floor? What if there was a fire? He also claimed to have surgery the following day, so what happened to that?

Does anyone know when Lowtax bought his first McMansion? What is up with him buying one and then renting another one recently? Thought he had been living in Kansas City in a McMansion for a while. (Edit: In the Vice article of 2017 he says he used to own his house but now rents)

Sorry for all of the question marks. A lot of things are hearsay. If you guys have links to anything I would appreciate it.

Wasn't there some weird period in the SA dark ages (06-13) where Lowtax was living in Asia, teaching English to pre-teens?

I haven't heard of this. From what I understand he has only lived in Missouri and then spent a small time in California after founding SA. I think he had bought a house in Missouri too and was married to Megan with kids. Anyways, this wouldn't make sense because Lowtax never got a BA which is generally required to teach English abroad.

Seems like the drop in Lowtax's activity coincided with his marriage. Not that Lowtax was ever an involved husband or father.

Lowtax was definitely in China for a time, I remember him posting about how filthy it was, seeing people shit on the street. I don't know that he was teaching English or doing any kind of work, though..

Was he visiting his wife's family? Though I also heard she was adopted.

Logan should post here and talk about Rich some more. We need another Mandy, imo.

I've always liked Mandy. Even when she used to go a bit batshit on SS and here, she was still honest, and though she sometimes jumped over the fence right next to the cliff, at least she was always consistent. Logan can't even keep her narrative the same for 12 hours.

:edited for spelling.

I don't remember people being aware of why he was there at the time, but I recall him mentioning much later that he'd been teaching English there.
