I found this in one of my e-mail boxes--it's several months old and apologies if y'all already had heard or knew about.

Ben Cannon, formerly of Gpal scam, is back at it again. . . (http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1622784_Remember_GunPal_GPal_Ben_Cannon_and_the_wh ole_huge_scandal_fraud_.html)

But I guess word got out pretty fast because less than one tenth of one percent of the stated fundraising goal was actually sent in.

I also see in a couple of other 2A areas and circles where he is slowly weaseling his way back in.

We have a very long, very epic thread here on the entire Ben Cannon/Gunpal/Gpal mess. It's a sticky. Ken (45Nut) and the mods kept the discussion going as a public service announcement for the entire gun community when Calguns and a few other sites kept selectively editing derogatory posts against Cannon or arbitrarily banning members who'd been hosed by their hero boy.

So for any new members here NOT familiar with Ben Cannon, be advised that he is about as dishonest as they come. He's claimed to be a commercial pilot with turbine ratings, an engineer, a millionaire (while he was living at home with his parents), an exotic foreign sports car owner, etc etc.

Beware.

Oh brother.
Is he smart enough to be indicted for fraud now? (He claimed to be too stupid before.)
I remember reading about this BS. I'm amazed he's still going under the same username? I would have thought he would do everything he could to distance himself. Hmmm, maybe he really is dumb as rock salt.....

Watching that all from the sidelines was painful and amusing at the same time. I feel sorry for anyone that got burnt. But that whole thing played out like a soap opera.

Rather eloquently with appropriate verbiage, I might add.

GunPal stung me for some cash.

I sure would not fork over any money to that crook.

True, but you CAN eat glitter and poop sparklies.

And that seems to sum up the humanoid that is Ben Cannon.

Did any of you think to report his indiegogo page for fraud? The guy is a scam artist.

I was privy to all this before it even got started.
