Mystery RIP

Venusian Arts sent out an email this morning informing its entire list of the passing of Erik Von Marchovich, aka “Mystery,” the legendary pick-up artist.

Details were sketchy as to what lead to his untimely demise.

Was it a jealous girl who murdered him in his sleep?

A crazy VH1 executive who just couldn’t deal with him anymore?

Was it the ultimate AMOG?

Did his 600th STD finally catch up with him?

No, it was, in fact, a very poorly executed April Fools Joke.

Mystery is very much alive and well.  Don’t freak out.  He is fine.  It was just a joke.  This has been confirmed.

Hole.  Lee.  Shit.

The news is breaking over on Jezebel.com, the feminist arm of the Gawker media empire that longtime pick-up artist mainstay and teacher – Gunwitch (also known as Allen Reyes) – has been ARRESTED for shooting a woman in the face at a part.

Let me reitterate…

HE SHOT A WOMAN IN THE FACE!!!!!

And no, that isn’t some veiled sexual reference.  He shot a girl in the face with a gun.  A real gun.  With bullets.

Here’s the low down…

Apparently, during a New Years Eve party a 20 year old woman named Amber Tripp recieved a gunshot wound to the face.

After police arrived, they gathered information which lead them to Gunwitch as the one responsible for shooting the girl.  He was found three blocks from the scene of the shooting and was detained by authorities pending further investigation.

Police are saying it’s not clear what lead to the shooting, though the weapon was recovered by police.  However, I can see the trolls now…

“OMG, he was trying to break through her bitch shield… with real bullets!”

“Dude, you gotta make the ho say no… then shoot her in the fucking face!”

“That’s the ultimate NEG, bitches!”

Please, people, let’s try and remember that there’s a real human being who’s been seriously hurt here.  She’s been listed as being in “critical condition” at the hospital, and even is she recovers, well… SHE’S BEEN SHOT IN THE FACE! I’m sure it won’t do wonders for her self esteem.

You know, though, of all the PUAs out there who’s shoot someone, I’d have to say that Gunwitch would be the LEAST surprising one.

Between the heart attacks, drugs, and copious amounts of alcohol the man consumed, I guess its amazing that something like this didn’t happen sooner.  But I will say its a shame.  Now people are going to be looking at his “pickup method” as though it’s some load of BS that promotes violence towards women.  Stuff like that gives the entire community a bad name.

All the details that we have right now concerning the incident are sketchy, but its being reported that Gunwitch might be charged with ATTEMPTED MURDER.  Yes, that’s right, M-U-R-D-E-R.

And I guess if the girl actually dies from her injuries, then the whole “attempted” part of that charge goes out the window.

Let’s keep Amber Tripp in our hearts and minds, and send some prayers her way.  No one deserves to be shot in the face on New Years unless its with champaign.

And to Gunwitch – if you really did maliciously shoot someone with an intent to kill them… fuck you man.  Seriously.  And if you did it on accident because you were too drunk or whatever… fuck you still.  You totally ruined someones life.  Not cool at all.  I honestly didn’t think anyone could be more heinous than Ross Jeffries, but at least the man never SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FUCKING FACE.  (Not yet anyway.)  So let this be a lesson to everyone — friends don’t let friends pick up with loaded weapons.  And I don’t mean that in a hip, sexual innuendo type of way.

Apparently, in the ramp up to the EPIC Matador vs. Sinn PUA Deathmatch, Sinn has been tweeting about getting ready to fight Matador and get him kicked out of a club.  But it turns out, Sinn just got drunk, mistook someone for being Matador, and was just being a dick.

Here’s the photo proof of Sinn’s shit-talking to fake Matador.  Just click on the pics for larger versions.

So it’s no secret I’ve been poking a bit of fun at “the world’s leading female pick up instructor” lately.  But apparently, Kezia has seen our video and listened to the podcasts and has become a fan of the Lair (naturally!).  But last night after we recorded our unfortunate episode of the Bootycast (because the audio of Adam and I was cutting out constantly), I get a call from a number I don’t recognize.

So I do what I normally do, which is ignore the number.  Sorry, if you’re not already in my phone, I’m not picking up!  (Standard PUA call screening.)

Then, I start getting text messaged by the same number.  And guess what?  It’s Kezia Noble!  Somehow, she stalked me down and got my number and started texting me randomly.  Honestly, I don’t know whether to be flattered or frightened at this point.  But here was the text message exchange:

Kezia:  U buy me shoes? 

Thundercat:  LoL.  Who is this?

Kezia:  The wonderful kezia.  U buy my shoes?

Thundercat:  Wow.  I feel honored to be stalked by such a public figure.  LoL

Kezia:  Ur welcome.  Now buy me shoes!

Thundercat:  Buy ur own shoes.  We aint sleepin together!  LoL

Kezia:  Oh well worth a try!  Im in l.a, and will be back in september for the pua summit.  Hope to c u then mr thunder cat

Thundercat:  Yeah, I’ll probably be there.  Large and in charge.

Kezia:  So i expect a warm reception from my 2 greatest fans adam and amanda

Thundercat:  You should ask them to buy u shoes then. 

Kezia:  Agreed

So yeah, now the world’s leading female pick up instructor (hence forth known as WLFPUI, or WOLFPIE) is obsessed with me and stalking me via text message.  Honestly, she’s probably the hottest stalker I’ve ever had, but still… should I be afraid? 

Okay, back in September I posted a little thread about how crazy Stephane has become and the meltdown he experienced after Ghita finally got away from the guy.  As of this writing, that was 5 MONTHS AGO.  Since then, I have given very little thought to that post, and have not posted anything about it until now.  It seems that even though that silly little post is old news to me, Stephane is still obsessing over it.

I’ve recently been getting very strange emails from the guy.  The tone of them is wildly schizophrenic.  He’ll refer to me as “his enemy” in one sentence, and then practically beg me to take down my blog post in the next.

Him and his “wife” (I didn’t even know the guy was married) have made a concerted effort to try and contact people affiliated with me and get them to stop “promoting” my website in an effort to destroy me.

Not only that, they’ve been trying their best to “defame” me and my business where-ever they can, including this very blog.  Stephane whines I’m not letting him share “his side” of the story, even though I don’t edit any replies made to my postings.

Whatever.  I really don’t care.  Better men than Stephane have come after me, and failed.  They can do what they want to try and “defeat” me or whatever.  I know they’ll fail.  Why?  Because they did not make me succeed, so they can’t take away anything I’ve earned through my own hard work – no matter how much they lie about me.  I’m used to people lying about me and defaming me.  It comes with the territory I guess.

So I’d have never bothered to blog about this loser again – except for the fact that now I’m getting reports that he’s threatening OTHER bloggers out there who picked up on how crazy he is.

Lots of reports about crazy, threatening emails and even phone calls threatening to come over to their houses with a crew of thugs – all because people are posting… the truth?

Stephaker has literally lost his mind.

If this is the way he operates, the guy deserves to go out of business, if you ask me.  Attacking me is one thing, but attacking OTHER people?  That’s inexcusable.  Stephaker now has the distinction of being just as bad as Ross Jeffries, which is saying a lot – considering how evil MINE’99 is.

I would encourage everyone out there – IGNORE anything and everything this Stephane guy does.  His threats are empty.  Do not let “fear” keep you from speaking out about him.  Steve Piccus, just the other day, told me something very sage:  The blog is mightier than the fraud.  I’m convinced Stephane is an unstable, habitual LIAR, and the only way to stop a liar is to reveal the truth and never let him bully you.

Please put this lunatic in the same category as every other sociopath out there.  Do not read his emails, do not respond to his posts, and do not give him any money.  Just make him go away – for good.  The guy can always get a job at McDonalds.

Ghita learned that once she got away from this guy, life was good.  Life can be good for all of us if we just ignore this crazy and get on with our lives.  So don’t let him bully you!  Stand up against him, and tell him to Fuck Off.

A real sound “inner game/spiritual guru” would not resort to threating people in such petty ways.  Shame on you Stephane.
