As you know, Ryan is a very close friend of mine. He is also extremely ethical, as most of you know. I can assure you and everyone else on the board that he is being truthful regarding this situation.
I also enjoyed meeting you at the National, and conversing with you. That being said, Ryan has every right to title his thread Rooky13. Even if you are the person who owns that ebay handle, you are making purchases with Sergio's money (or lack thereof), not your own. You mentioned yourself that he is computer illiterate, therefore can not bid on auctions himself. No one would know what Ryan is talking about if the title of the thread was Sergio. Everyone deserves to know that when they see a bid on ebay by Rooky13, the person who is paying for the auctions is not always good for the money, and is willing to screw people over. Is this a reflection on you? I have to say yes. You have chosen to associate yourself with this person, and continue to bid on auctions on his behalf when you know your client owes people lots of money. I'm not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't do. I know people have their own reasons for the decisions that they make. However, as long as you continue take a paycheck from Sergio, you are associated with him. Ultimately, it is your choice.
Just my opinion.
