OK COOKIE, i realy dont have to but i will post my complete side of the story about Gino !!!!!!!!!!!
Attensions wehre : to race together and have fun and kick ass ( no doubt )
So, Gino wrote a contract and paid me $ 8 K, in the same week he added his GF on to the LLC ( i told him not correct and to please take her off ) he said ok, will do ! He never did , instead he came up with excuses to not take her off.
Farther more he stayed with me for about 4-5 days, because she trew him out and i drove 4 hours to pick him up. ( PRIVATE ,,,,i understand ).
While he was here, he realy didn't help anything and only texted and e-mailed back and fort to get back to her...lots of childish un manfull things ...( not my problem ) !!
Meanwhile it was clear that Gino needed to go to Belgium because his 90 day visa was over and he could not make Clearwater and Orange Beach race !!!!
( his own words ) ,,,,so i found a paing driver for us to jump in ...then after all said and done i asked him for 50% share to get the boat ready, which we agreed on !!!!!!!
All of the sudden he called me and said hey , tell the driver for Orange Beach that i will fly over early and there is no need for him ( after this guy already paid some money upfront and made arangements ( hotel and sofort )... i told Gino that i will not do that and break my word and we need the money for KW. I again reminded him to take his GF off the LLC document, still nothing ..on top off that he started to call me a scammer and all kind of stuff because i would not tell the other guy to not do Orange Beach.
He then even contacted this person and told him to screw me and just not show up with the remainder of the money agreed on . ( nice partner ).
Meanwhile i stuck a bunsh of money in the boat and collected receipts, Gino still did not turn 1 wrench or paid 1 cent torward getting the boat ready, he did not search for sponsors or did anything. ( oh, he did claim he has a sponsor and would send me the conformation e-mail from him ...dont have it yet ).
Then it got into a pissing match because of his GF and she would stay on the document because he wanted this so ??? ok, not me !!!!!!
So by that time he e-mailed me all kind off BS...he wanted his investment back , he would kill me , he would make shure i cant race any where and that he would sue me and destroy the DAREDEVIL TEAM ( he is 50% partner we all remember that ??!!! )
After all that he started to try a different route and told me " look , lets leave all this behind and have fun like we planed and kick ass in KW " ??????!!
I told him shure, if u take your GF off the paperwork and pay 50% of what i am out ( we agreed on that, remember )...
also before , i forgot ...he said his sponsor would be his sponsor , not the teams sponsor and would only pay if HE would be in the boat ....i told him then, well u know if u have a sponsor for u and i have a sponsor for OUR team..something is not sounding right ?!!!!!
But again, absolutley 0 efforts where made from him to follow up on his agreement and to take his GF off the LLC, a matter of fact , he then changed his aditude agian and threatent me more with ..he is going to sue me ..and he wants to see all the receipts in court and so on .....
Up untill now, i 100% followed everything we agreed on..but after all that and both of us had no money to do KW i had to do whats best for the LLC and rent the seat out to do KW.
He then changed again and said hey, why dont i stay home and he can take MY boat and do these races !!! EXCUSE ME ?????????
After i told him not in this life,,and to read his contract...he even more threatent me and started all kind of BS including lies and nasty e-mails and such...
SO , AFTER ALL THIS ... WOULD U CONSIDER HIM A PARTNER ?????????
I cant wait for court to decide what is goin to happen , but i can tell u right now what 4 different laywers told me here in the US...after they read all the things on here, other websites, facebook pages, and e-mails ......there answer was , HE BETTER HAVE HIS CHECKBOOK WITH HIM !!!!!!!!
So if u think i am a dick...think again !
PS, i can proof 100% everything i just posted !!!!!
Thats why i realy dont care what u guys think.
