Very nicely put, concise, but yet really does get at the heart of the what/and/why of this posts longevity.

I do in some ways find your post annoying, if only because you were able to say what I wanted to say in so fewer words....

To move on --seems the wife was an indicted co-conspirator. I am presuming when she married her husband she was and is aware of his "financial" status at all times. I read the case history -- and she was declared "indigent" by the court. Means she had nothing to speak of save the clothes on her back.

Now-- someone who had nothing has a spouse come up to them and declare they have checks in their possession for $29,000+. The spouse asks them to cash checks and/or throw the money in the bank.

My question-- why would they ask her to do put the checks in the bank-- were their own fingers broken?? Even ex-cons can cash checks-- no crime in doing so.

Why would she not immediately get suspicious of a husband with a "miraculous" $30,000 showing up?? Especially considering her indigent state where she had nothing to speak of? How could she sit there and expect the average person off the street to even begin to understand her thought process cashing the checks??

We can't-- it makes no sense to the guy off the street becuase we don't think like criminals-- thats why.

I see the court cut her no slack at all. Seems hubby instigated the scam and with his priors he's gone to the DOC. Seems she got caught and pled a felony down to a misdemeanor with restitution.

Seems both got what you deserved-- and to be honest--she was lucky she pled out. I see she's still married to him-- lucky her

Now she can come back and try to explain her thought process-- and how she reasoned it out-- and maybe--just maybe--- I'll cut some slack to her. However-- the public humiliation and whipping she is enduring on a hobby board related to this theft is EXACTLY what she deserves. Its a byproduct of her continued bad choices in life. She needs to learn to LIVE WITH IT.

She'll recover-- perhaps in a few years-- perhaps never. The same cannot be said to the unfortunate people she ripped off. They have to endure the never ending psychological damage her and the scamming husband caused. Think they trust people now? Think they will trust people in the future?

Trust is ALWAYS earned-- its not given. Same with respect--- and that lady has not earned either in my book.

What she earned from me was my pity for her poor life choices, she earned my lack of sympathy for her punishment dealt in the situation-- and last she now gets my total lack of respect for actually coming on this board and treating its innocent readers to a tongue lashing none deserved.

The readers & commenter's were giving her the additional byproducts of a life spent making poor choices.

If she's smart-- she'll learn not to come on a hobby board to defend an undefendable situation. Just LIVE WITH IT-- and maybe-- just maybe-- learn from it.

Making fun of someone because they live in a trailer?

Boy, I wish I could afford to live in one. My wife and I are so poor we live underneath a trailer!

(okay, I stole that one from Chris Rock)

You get to live under a trailer? You are one LUCKY man!! I live in a box down.. by.. the... river.....

As for Sara and Nancy- I can tell ya'll first hand that making mistakes, and big ones at that, are part of life. I have made some really, really bad ones myself. I did learn from them though and that is the most important thing. (Of course never making them would have been far better). It's what you do with yourself/your life afterwards that counts.....And no, no one should talk about your children in a disprespectful way, however, saying you shouldn't have any isn't talking about them as much as you. regards

I'm on the same page as Leon. Everyone makes mistakes, and instead of Nancy showing some contrition and saying:

I MADE A MISTAKE, I REGRET IT DEEPLY, AND I APOLOGIZE TO ANYBODY I HURT...(I used capitals for realism), she instead comes on the board in attack mode and calls us all a bunch of yahoos (okay, she's probably right on that point).

Nancy, you don't seem to have learned from your mistakes, and that suggests you will repeat them. When the day comes that you can flick that switch for "Cap Locks"...you shall be released.

And Chris Farley lived in a van by the river, but why quibble.

Chris lived in a van....I am not that worthy.....a box is best I could muster up.....and it was tenfold better than the Saturday (*I couldn't afford the Sunday) paper I used to live under....

I haven't posted on this board in a long time, but do read it often. I am glad that this scammer was caught and put where he belongs.

That said, Is this really the image this board wants to convey to the rest of the world? Childish banter with the wife of a scammer? Do you really want to bring the board down to this level? I think as weathly, educated men you could find something better to do with your time than engage in mindless banter with Nancy and her friend.

I find it hard to believe that the many professionals on this board would find this mentally stimulating.

No matter what she has typed, I do not think replying to her posts strengthens your position in the big picture.


BTW, Great to see everyone again and hope this post finds everyone well and enjoying the weekend.

P.S. Hi Barry, Sorry for any spelling or grammer mistakes.

Hi Joe- you were perfect until you misspelled "grammar."

I know Barry, Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.

Hi Peter, Good to see you too and everyone else. We are doing well and hope you and your family are doing well and enjoying this weekend. It's a weekend to remember that, "Freedom isn't free."

Obviously, you've never read a commercial lease. Compared to that, this thread is the friggin' Algonquin Round Table.

Barry hit the nail on the head with his comment. This woman has absolutely no remorse for what she did and she is unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions.
Ms. Markell, you are not in prison but you are now a convicted felon. I think you, like so many other people who are arrested for felonies, are sorry for only one thing- that you were caught. You can blame it all on your husband and profess your ignorance until the cows come home but I think your actions and the court proceedings show differently.
You have been given a second chance and I truly hope that someday you will realize what you did, accept the responsibility and profit from your second chance and turn your life around. You have a child and my hope is that that child will be raised in an environment of decency and a sense of morality different from that of her parents who took advantage of naive people who relied on the hoped-for decency and honesty of sellers on ebay.
Time to straighten up and fly right.

Would you have remorse for a crime you were accused of and did not committ. I don't think so. You would fight like hell to make people understand your side of the story. You would go to any lengths to clear your name. My husband stood up in court at his sentencing and made it clear that i was not involved. In the grand jury testimony the tellers testified it was him not i who cashed the checks. It was his signature on the backs not mine. I only took a plea because there are soo many innocent people in jail for crimes they didn't commit. I would rather have a misdemeanor on my record than to spend 1 day away from my child. By the way i see the divorce attorney on Monday. Nobody runs my name through the mud and gets away with it. I know you all have been scammed or ripped off. I'm sorry that happened to you. I did not rip you or anyone else off. I wish you could just see my side of the story. I was just as much of a victim as the people whom my husband scammmed. I lost my home and everything i owned. Things i had long before i even met Jeremy. I've always worked hard and always kept a job. Now i'm in school to better myself. I've paid enough. LAST POST.
Sorry i had to put the caps in i know i justed bugs the crap out of you!

"That's quite a list of Markells on that Adams County case search, Alan. Apparently, many Markells manipulate with mendacity. By the seashore."


I am not a sports fan, nor am I a collector, as this forum was intended. I am, however, Jeremy Markell's cousin (no, I will not fall to a moment of stupor and give my number out to prove that.) I whole-heartedly agree that what Jeremy did was deceptive, wrong, and extremely stupid. I have never met his wife or her child -- she is not Jeremy's biological offspring- so I may not speak on their behalf. The above post prompted me to defend my family name and shed a little insight on the "white trash" in question. The Markells as a whole are not 'manipulative'; we are in fact upstanding citizens in our community- which, to your dismay, is not a trailer park. Also, Jeremy is a good person. I do not know what drove him to commit this or any of his previous crimes and can only assume it was greed. On a level of human moral, I would also be outraged by this story. However, that does not give you the right to drag a family name through the mud by insisting they are white trash rednecks who go through life butting heads with the law. That said, I thank you kindly for your time. -Erica

Nancy, I would advise you not to post any more. It appears to be causing you stress. Why did you have to give out your phone number? You have to understand that you are dealing with a lot of people who have had a lot of money stolen from them in E-bay scams. These posts are their way of dealing with the frustration and anger of being ripped off. When you keep returning to make posts, you are throwing gasoline onto a fire. So please, for your sake and your daughter's sake, let this issue go and worry about all of life's real problems.

Guys, I think it would be really polite of you to put an end to this thread. Leon, can I suggest deleting this? I don't like when there is a hostile thread about criminal actions and somebody's personal information is listed. Also guys, please don't call this woman.

Posted By: leon

We don't delete threads unless under an extraoardinary circumstance. I/we also don't tell folks what to say or not say but do keep as much anonymity as possible out of this kind of thread. In my opinion the best moderation is the least.....Yes, there are some times I/we will step in but those are usually quite extreme. This person brought it on herself.....As long as folks put their name by it they can say pretty much say what they want to, per the few forum rules. That is also why I said, a few posts up, that talking about someone's family or children is generally a no-no...Since this was a unique situation where the family was involved then so be it....Children will still be protected.....Hope you understand the reasoning...if not shoot me an email....regards

This thread had slipped to page 2 and then Nancy posted again on 7/3. If her last post would have been her first post on 7/3 I think there would have been a far different board response. In other words, I think she had it coming.

Posted By: Hagar Henderson

I understand you Leon, of course it's your decision. I know she brought it on herself but I feel upset when children are involved. I also asked her to stop posting because before things get out of control. I think it should have been ended when people started calling her. That's an unusual situation.

One thing that puzzles me is what drove her to Net 54? How did she know that there was a post about her?

Leon, of course it's your call to make.

I agree with Cat.

Had her last post been her first, things would have gone a whole lot differently in this tread.

"One thing that puzzles me is what drove her to Net 54? How did she know that there was a post about her?"

I assume she did a google search on either her or her husbands name. This thread is one of the first things that pop up if you google their names.

[thomaskelley08]

jeremy markell operating under the alias jeremy padilla just scammed me.

[FUBAR]

Maybe when he was in jail, someone made him his bitch and when they got married, being a bitch, he had to change his name!

[thomaskelley08]

That is an appealing thought, given his record he probably has quite a few last names by now, probably even stopped bringing soap and started just taking it all in.

[T206DK]

when you can sell these all day long on Ebay with impunity. I've reported this crook every week for the last 4 weeks to Ebay and they have done nothing. How long before he does the same thing he did before with the Mantle card .....GEEEEEZZ !!

http://cgi.ebay.com/1933-GOUDEY-BABE...item2306829ef0

[JP]

I've done the same reporting. They pulled one of his auctions last month...

[FUBAR]

he seems to have a nice supply of commonly counterfeited cards, wonder if he shares them with the guy that places them in the psa holders.

[Wite3]

If he did go to jail, chances are he is on probation...a little call to the probation department in his local area may stop his ebay fraud...just a thought.

Didn't think this could hurt (although hasn't helped to date) .. my email to eBay Customer Support

Hey when are you guys going to do something about this (eBay ID JeremyPadilla) Item #150433079024..?! Same counterfeit card he sold last month - he knows damn good and well these are reprints/fakes, he bought several as such on eBay - then writes up he knows nothing about the card. He's been reported no less than half a dozen times in the last month, yet here he is still with the same garbage listings looking to defraud someone else. Are you that hard-up for listings that you need to look the other way on this stuff..? Sorry, not trying to be rude - it's just frustrating that this is allowed to continue - a big reason I have scaled back so much on eBay in recent months.

[FUBAR]

you should cut and paste the original story in as well, letting them know it is the same a**clown

[JP]

Ed, I wrote almost the same thing to eBay, except I included some profanities and name-calling. Get the card from me yet?

[kmac32]

Not surprised coming from Quincy. It really is a dirty little river town and vermin like this tend to live there. Couldn't pay me enough to live there in my opinion. Have been through several times and not impressed.
