Mommy Blogger McKMama's Bankruptcy Problems

[despritfreya]

What's it all mean? Is this a trial for the alleged bk fraud?

It means nothing. Standard stuff depending upon local rules and/or a particular judge’s procedures. In this case it appears that the judge’s procedure is to issue a standard Scheduling Order once an Answer to a Complaint filed. Either the parties will settle (most likely outcome) or they won't and a trial will be held sometime after October 9th.

The Scheduling Order was filed for MckMama's AP on Friday.

My theory is that since she does not like paying her creditors or landlords or anyone else, she probably thought that by declaring bankruptcy she could get away with not paying them. She seems to feel very entitled.

Did she declare Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

Also, her income would certainly put her over the means test, wouldn't it?

She just neglected to mention way too much information for it to be an accident.

I wish that I could make that much money blogging, too! But I blog mostly for fun.

I don't think it was an accident. I think it was completely intentional and she knew 100% what she was doing. I think she thought she could get away with and that the extra traffic she'd get from being exposed would make her even richer and she'd get to keep that to. I do not think she realized or maybe she just didn't care that she'd be in deep dog do form this.

I believe that she is stilling claiming $55K earnings compared to about $150K believed to be the actual income. Valleyum has a link on page 2 of this thread to a good summary.

Wow crazy. Thanks!

So what did she claim to make and what did she actually make? I cannot go through that 341 meeting but now my curiousity is piqued.

wowwie..i just read the transcripts. All I can say is .....I'm speechless.
I liked where the TT asked her a question and she said ..What?? I wasn't listening.

Wow! I just listened to their 341 meeting. Holy cow. lol Talk about backtracking and changing their answers/tune. Very interesting listening. I thank god that mine went smoothly and lasted barely 5-10 minutes. Of course, I wasn't trying to hide anything either.

I'm not sure what the deal is with their attorney. After the 341, when it became quite clear that they had under reported income, everybody expected the amended docs to update the income to what it actually is. But that didn't happen.

As to the value of her blogs...it's hard to say. There are some who think they are worth thousands and some who think otherwise. She's already working on a new blog, yet to be revealed. If you look at her FB, it's clear that she still has hundreds of supporters. But, her supporters seem to be like a revolving door. They realize what she truly is (a scam artist) and leave, but then she is able to quickly replace them. She is quite capable of quickly rebranding herself. In the past year, she has been a crunchy granola homeschooling mommy living in a half million dollar home. Then she was an RVing, photographing, junk-food eating mommy living on the road full-time. Then they ditched the MckMansion and became goat-farming, chicken-raising poor homeschoolers making homemade yogurt. Then she became the weight-loss, exercising, farming, natural eating, homeschooling mommy. Then she started with the weight-loss supplements and is now a weight-loss guru, kids are in public school and she's on her way to a divorce. Oh, and they are renting another semi-glamor home.

All of this in one year!

So she cycles through readers pretty quickly. But, she also has a lot, a LOT of readers that support her no matter what. Kind of cult-like.

I pay about $10.00 a year on each of my domain names. Apparently, when MckMama forgot to renew her domain last year (or didn't pay her webhosting bill, accounts vary), the name was immediately put up for auction and listed at $22,950! Probably because it gets lots of visits each month. She must have bought it back, though, because her blog still uses that domain name.

Ironic.

It's like a black fly in your chardonnay!!

Too funny!! <3

[papie]

Vall...lol, I THOUGHT I recognized you from elsewhere...but didn't want to say.

We really do need a secret handshake though...those of us from "the other side." LOL!

I thought some of the information you guys presented was from another site I frequent, I think we all come from the same place! Ironic.

It is amazing how making lots of money, can make people begin to believe they can get away with anything. Headlines are full of these kind of stories. I don't think she is a crook in the strict meaning of the word but rather someone who believes they are above the law. She lives in her own little world where bad things happen to others. Like in her blog, she can talk her way out of anything.

A few years back we were almost taken advantage of by a true con-artist. Conning people was his only job. We were within an hour of losing $500 to this guy before the light went on and I figured out his scam. This blogger is not in the same league. Not only did this guy bilk others for millions, he got them to initially send money for his legal defense so he would be free to get their money back from the government.

In both cases it is the innocent and family members that are truly hurt. Her kids could be the real losers.

This all really just blows my mind!! How terribly sad for her children! I can't even imagine being so stupid or bold as to try the stuff she is trying to do. Somehow, I don't think this will end very pretty. I have a blog but I don't make any money from it at all. I wouldn't even know how to do that. While my blog is not anonymous and it is about personal experiences, I never post about anything TOO personal. My posts are only related to one particular aspect of my life and only in an attempt to encourage others. I decided before I began blogging just how transparent I was willing to be and to never impose on the privacy of my family with it. I'm not much into Facebook or reality shows or the like. I just don't get the whole craze with following other peoples lives. I really have enough in my own life to keep me busy. Having said that... I DID JUST READ THIS THREAD! Wow.... all I can say is wow!!

Cult like may be on target. Without her, or a devout and well known follower, runnig the site the blog and other websites would be of little value to anyone and won't bring much to the trustee and creditors. I would think the value of the site lies with her ability to 'cycle through readers'. I am curious how the trustee will handle the sale of the websites.
