Halloween Oddities Market

 Yet another JM event: Halloween Oddities

Halloween Oddities Market, at Blackthorne Resort. 

Please be aware, friends! 

Vendor gift certificates

 I was recently contacted by someone who was considering vending at the Oddities Market at Blackthorne. Since they were on one of the email threads, they got a chain email called "Good luck getting Jeff to Pay you"

This email brought up the vendor gift certificates (formerly known as "Jeff Bucks") and:

"In this email it details how he's telling vendors there's no money left to pay them, trying to get them to roll over their credit to next year, threatening to ban them from every even in the north east, etc."

According to JM, he paid out $13,000 in vendor gift certificates. 

Per the email snippets I was sent, it sounds like some people were paid and others were not. 

Can vendors please confirm this information? Were you paid? 

I would also like to share this snippet from a conversation on the Discord server:

Handler:

you helped spread the message that we were short on cash and wanted people to roll over their gift certs into next year. 

which is exactly the message I wanted you to spread. 

but I love catching you people and dissecting you. The wounded innocence. The pretended noninvolvement. The coincidental nonanswers. The way you say one thing to me, then I have screenshots of you saying other things to other people. 

JM: email to vendors

 A reminder to everyone to steer clear of JM and his events. This is the type of email he sends out. This email was sent out to former vendors:

"Hello!

Have you vended with me before and made a ton of money?

Yes, you have.

Behold! Your last chance. 

Come vend at the Halloween City Vendor and Oddities Market! It's got 3,000 people and you'll do very well. 

Otherwise, I expect to never, ever see a single one of you complain that I took your money, stole your money, or cheated me, and I'll sue you if I see you say it without documentation, because it's not true. Tammy Shipps, Silver Phoenix, and Michael Whitehouse took your money. You can believe what you want; but because this is what I do, my vendors make money, their vendors make nothing, since they do nothing. 

Come vend with us. Email me.

Or, you know, claim that I robbed you, which is both libel and slander, and no good between friends. Up to you! 

Last chance. Email me back and make money, or ignore me and lose money. Your hoice [sp]. 

Sincerely,

Jeff Mach,

greatest promoter in the Northeast"

Also, a reminder about gaslighting (i.e., "when someone intentionally twists your perception of reality for their own gain"). I'm not saying that JM is gaslighting anyone, but please consider for yourself:
