BEWARE!! Allen Exotics, AKA LAWReptiles, AKA Cutting Edge Exotics

[starmom]

I wasn't asking for, or expecting the staff to do anything. You guys/gals do a great job and my post was not meant to infer otherwise. I am merley stating that as a community we need to look out for each other and in that respect the "gut feeling" of an experienced individual can be very valuable.

Right on Kevin- I totally get where you're coming from. I go by my feelings a lot and really don't care much that there is nothing empirical about them... My feelings typically do not lead me astray.

Thanks for sharing your feelings with the forum and going out on a limb to protect us all.

I don't know what the context was to which MLK was speaking, but I firmly and unwaveringly and whole-heartily agree with "...it is neither safe nor honorable to go against conscience."

I'm big on personal integrity and personal honor and being true to one's Self even when it is not the most comfortable thing to do. That's what Kevin did. I approve and am thankful for his courage.

I guess we now know where he got the name AllenExotics, AKA Allen Williamson from. This is his son's middle name. Thats just low. My wife feels bad for his wife and son and want me to just forgot about it all this mess. I'm not so sure what to do as I feel strongly that I have a responsibility to report this guy to the necessary authorities so that he doesn't try this on other people. Plus I feel no remorse for someone like this. Only for their family. What do you guys think?

Most all criminals have love interests and children. Should they all be able to commit crimes without any consequence? This guy gave some real thought to setting up these aliases and giving himself a rep on the BOI. He had a big shell game going on with all these snakes and victims and potential victims. If he gets away with it he will do it again to others maybe using something other than ball pythons. I think that you should pursue it to the fullest extent and at least make him live with the worry as to whether he will be successfully prosecuted or not.

I think you should do what you think you should do.
Nobody can make this choice but yourself.
Deep peace to you my friend.

I need to say that if the link and/or image from this post had not already been "broken" they would have been removed. I don't care how scummy an individual is, there is absolutely no reason to bring his or her children into the mix. It's fine to mention that he has a son and you're concerned for the child's welfare....but please do not post pictures of innocent children in a mess like this. There is simply no place for it.

I agree with Judy. The idiot has already damaged his family. There is no need for us to drag his family further into the mix. And I think it is out of line to even post his kids name here. A link to his Myspace page would have been plenty of info. And if people were so inclined to go look at the info, that he himself had put on the web, then so be it. But let's not take it upon ourselves to do further harm to innocent people.

In my opinion, you should file the reports. If he gets away with this he is just going to scam other people.

Upon further review and discussion, the staff felt it also wise to remove the child's actual name from the discussion. While we realize the information is already out there on other forums, that does not mean WE need to participate in dragging innocent children into the mud with their parents.
