    Well, that's an easy way to deep-six your career in 10 seconds flat.

    Yeah he'll probably do it again. Sounds like a character flaw.

    1) He's an idiot.
    2) He's an idiot
    3) Professionals with credits he claims never post ads on Craigslist looking for work
    4) How did he honestly think he'd get away with swapping his name for the real dp's and no one doing their research?
    5) Once he shows up on set and can't pull off a shoot, how was he going to handle it?
    6) In this age of internet and technology, htf did he think he could pull this off?

    I'm blown away he built an entire site based on ripped off credits. How can you do that? I know times are tough but he just gave up a possible career by pulling this stunt. Are we to assume he lied about an education from UCLA as well? If he doesn't own a Scarlet, what happens when he's hired to bring one?

    He's obviously stealing pics from other Redusers for his facebook page cause the first couple of Scarlet pics are shot in Red's headquarters, I believe by Tonaci....I may be mistaking but I think I remember those exact pics (may be from another user)...

    His facebook has photo's of a Scarlet but his website says he owns an Epic with Red Pro Primes.

    he appears to have removed everything from "his" website.

    All that's left is 1 youtube video. It's not as well shot as his other work that he took down.

    ... happens more often than we think ... people steal. it has become modern culture.
    makes me sad.

    the more unique ones work and insight, the faster it is stolen.

    I have a black list. carved in black stone ... (so to speak)

    Nope. I told him if I found my stuff on there I'd sue him in about 2 seconds, and that this is serious business, not kid shit.

    Publish that my friend! I agree I probably happens all the time but man, I feel like it's super serious. I'd freak out if I found out someone did that to me. I'm upset reading about others...
