Chris Cruz, darlings.

Dallas PD/con ops got tipped off by a friend of ours that helped start the petition to ban him from the con/get a restraining order (Chris showed up earlier that day regardless and got escorted out but obviously came back), and con ops/DPD swarmed the entrance of the rave Saturday night around 2am. We were off watching from the sidelines hanging out with friends, as DPD confronted him and pulled him to the side as con ops tried to contact Meri to confirm, but since it was late at night, they weren't able to get a hold of her, and had to let him in the rave unfortunately. We were really upset about that because the whole ordeal took about 30-45 minutes for absolutely nothing to happen and them to just say "Sorry, we can't do anything!"

Any further details on John's shit business practices and money swindling? Still wondering who this Jamie Nam is.

Driving back now but the tl;Dr is that the con has a restraining order against an individual who has roofied girls at the rave in the past. He showed up, got ejected and supposedly picked up by the cops (I wasn't present for this part), then came back the next day and got in line for the rave. Me and a couple others went to con security to let them know and hung around while they pinched him at the door. Hotel and con security showed up as well as 8 actual cops.

At this point he should have been arrested but they FUCKING LET HIM IN THE RAVE. Supposedly the reason was that only the con chairman and co-heads were the only ones who could enforce the restraining order and they were asleep or otherwise unavailable.

They had to just confirm it with the chair that knew about the petition/restraining order/ban as to not cause troubles or something (i.e. preventing a regular attendee from going to an event for no good reason, off sheer hearsay, and that person turning around and causing a huge uproar over it).

I asked the wigs to be shipped over his account because it will clear customs quicker as he told me had some sort of agreement with them. The amount I invoiced him for was for the amount that was sold - I told him that no costs were deducted as he didn't give me any info on that, later the shipping costs were deducted from that, which I offered to pay myself even though at first he was like "just subtract whatever you feel like".

> Then when they tell her she is responsible for getting the wigs back to Germany

This entire ordeal just pisses me off. Not even just at John and Deneice, but at Misako, the JLA, and all of us. Anime Matsuri has always had problems and everyone knew about the problems that Planet Zero had. But for some reason we let him get this much sway. We wear a fucking fashion and are so caught up in trying to be popular that as a community we figure that the best way to show off is with poorly organized fashion shows left in the hands of some creep. He should have been a venue and nothing else. Did the JLA even look into his background before they decided to do business with him and CONTINUE to do so? I don't even understand why a being Kawaii Ambassador is even a big deal, but their shit ain't kawaii. This has been a disaster from the start.

Sorry for the vent or if I'm misunderstanding somewhere. Just mad.

The whole "taking people to VS" as a tradition is creepy as hell. What kind of business person would go there of all places with guests? There are plenty of other places to take a guest that are still American without being a creep. It's a two hour drive to San Antonio that has decent sights, a water park, and a sea world.

Post 1/3

I never came out about this when it happened because I never felt like it was really that important (especially because I was 15/16 at the time), but I might as well, since you're asking. This is something that happened to a while back at Rodeocon, a.k.a. Anime Matsuri 2011. You know, the worst one yet where we had nothing but drunk rodeo hicks harassing us young girls and where the hotel would not let us use the hallway shortcut and made us walk around the hotel to get to the convention center side? Yeah, that one. Pic related, that con will forever live on in our memories.

Anyway, aside from all the hotel drama that year with friends getting stuck in hotel elevators for hours and the manager of the hotel catering to rodeo-goers over con attendees, we had a problem with the cosplay contest. I was one of the winners in the contest that year. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast during the contest, even if it did run late and they messed up people's audio on multiple occasions. The stage was pretty nice, the judges were fabulously doting and generous, and I really liked the huge backdrop screen they had (if AM happens again, can we please have that back at some point?).

That being said, one of the other major winners had come up to me to congratulate me, and I them, and we had exchanged info to keep in touch. (You get really chummy in the holding room when you're with people for hours with nothing better to do.) She had been excited because the con had previously announced on Facebook that they were supposedly going to be sending the main category winners to Japan, which meant we were supposed to go.

>I’m not at liberty to discuss this right now. It’s my duty as an involved kawaii ambassador to do what I can to attempt neutrality and decide how I want to proceed within an organization, the JLA, that I genuinely love participating in.

A few post earlier she wrote
>It’s not time yet for me to speak candidly about this. There are some Japanese colleagues I need to speak with first about how I feel, regarding the screencaps I’ve seen and the allegations that I’ve read.

John managed to push my buttons by not letting the KA thing drop while I was trying to talk to him about the problems we had with the event, he tried to force it on me and I just wanted to stop talking about it. Said some harsh things there in my anger, unfortunately. I talked with Pom about it, she was really nice about it even though she didn't have to be that nice at all.

I hadn't heard anything about this previously, but I took her word for it, and got stupidly excited too. It had also been mentioned that we were to give our info to be sent cash prizes the months following the con, not that I really was expecting anything because back then, they had been notorious for not giving money on time. You'd see posts on CosCom or here about how people never got paid out/awarded until almost a year after the con previous.

During that time, the tsunami had just devastated Japan, so they took that opportunity to raise money for tsunami relief and have huge donation collection tubes all around the con that were pretty full by Saturday.

In a Facebook post, they mentioned they had made a "nonprofit organization" called "Japan Helper" and had said all proceeds were going to help Japan with the destruction the tsunami caused. Come to realize from that other winner that she found out our supposed prize money was going to be sent to their nonprofit to donate. Okay, we weren't upset because at least it was going to a good cause right? At least we all had fun and got trophies/plaques/certificates! A quick search online has yielded absolutely no results on "Japan Helper" but that one Facebook post, and we never saw proof of a check to any donation funds.

Post 3/3

>>8422951
I had spoken to some friends about what was going on, and some had investigated what was happening because things all sounded fishy with there being so much money donated at the con, and nothing to show from it. Two of my good friends brought this up to John personally. I was told by them that John then began harassing and stalking my friend's then-girlfriend's Facebook page to find out who told them about this and to "dig up dirt" on me and whoever else had told them, if he ever needed to keep someone quiet.

Keep in mind, I was only 15/16 then. She blocked him eventually, but she never let up on telling him who the sources were. She wasn't able to find logs of this because once you block someone on Facebook, it says "Facebook User", and she's since cleaned up her message log after a breakup, as it's been 4-5 years or so since that all happened, so we don't have screenshot proof anymore. I also don't recall who exactly I spoke to (her name/cosplay handle) that was giving me the information because I did multiple friend list cleanups myself, which sucks and was stupid on my part.

Funny thing is, not much after that, Planet Zero was closed down and the infamous notices about them having evaded taxes showed up everywhere.

Well she's a grown ass woman with a family and kids and stuff, how did you expect her to react?

Should she say "oh noes my hubby is such a meanie~~~ I'm gonna kick his ass and go cry in a corner and file in my divorce"?

Especially now with everyone and their mom popping up and saying they have been harassed by your husband, sometimes without proof.
(not meaning to discredit the ones that have actually been harassed and have stepped up)

I'm not trying to whiteknight them here but I don't think that most of cgl is in an age where they know what having a family means. Even if she shouts at him at home and makes him sleep on the floor, at least publicly she has to stand by him for now, they're family after all. What would you say if your mom or s/o tells shit about your dad/you to random people because other random people at breaking loose on the internet?

I know he's a manipulative jerk and I am all for getting them for the shit they've actually done, but it's really low to try to play a family out against each other.
Let's leave their personal life out of this and focus on the facts like all the fraud stuff and anything that's tangible.

Ever been to Honolulu and wondered why there was a shooting range on every corner? It's because of the huge Japanese tourism.

I'm also curious if the models picked VS? I mean, they take you to an American mall and there's a store with cute foreign bras and panties you've heard of. Why not go in? It's weird he's buying them underpants buts its certainly plausible they would choose to go there of their own accord.

Ok, here's what I have so far about past fgc stuff. I was asked not to use names in this account but it's from a longtime player in the area (I should mention; the PZ drama that went down is still a bit of a sore spot for that local community, so I don't want to drag any of them into it too much):
>"One of the first showdowns they hosted I believe they did not pay winnings to the Japanese players for a long time, but I cannot remember if they ever did get paid."

On this point... it turns out one of the Japanese players in question is an acquaintance of mine and will be at Evo this year. I'm going to try asking him about it in a few weeks and see if he remembers or is willing to say anything about it, if this shitstorm is still rolling by then.

And:
>"A photographer for PZ who was always there and heavily involved in everything bought into PZ, and took a loan out which paid for the 2007 participants to go to SBO. As far as I know it was never paid back by John. The money to send everyone to SBO was something around 20k."

Lastly a small anecdote related to John's import car business, though it seems this one was paid back:
>"John also screwed a guy out of a japanese import car. But after like 2 or 3 years either paid for it or got him another one."

This is only tip of the iceburg considering stories I've heard. I've still yet to talk to the actual player from that incident (or incidents I should say, because he was accused of rigging multiple SBO quals for different games) but if he does want to say anything I'll add to this.

But lastly... dug up a story about PZ and John that paints a picture that by now, we know to be too true (kind of rambly, but it gets to the point eventually):

I am getting really done with the "Lets wait and see what other proof comes out" shit. These girls aren't that fucking stupid. Enough lewd shit has been screen capped to know they shouldn't be defending this person.

I hope John Leigh didn't do anything to Midori when he took her to Romania for that photoshoot with in front of the castle as an AM promo. She seems so sweet and I'm really concerned now. That basted left his wife in Texas with the kids.

Cadney is delusional for thinking shes so important and spreading kawaii awareness as a KA. She has very few instagram followers and her photos barely get more than 100 likes. What the hell possessed Misako to think this unfortunate looking lolita could spread her gospel? And before anyone says I'm jealous, hardly. I would never want to be associated with JLA, weak ass enabling Misako, and definitely the Leighs.

I find Cadney hella sweet but judging by the size of her calves in pix I get the feeling she's hiding a huge ass under her petticoats. Not judging, just an observation.

I'm such a fucking loser because I firmly believe that Akira and Midori are dating.

But anyway,wtf, is Misako really not going to do anything about this shit.

Kate is full of BS. Only two resigned so far as we know. The Taiwan ambassador who resigned after AM does so because she doesn't live in Taiwan anymore so she can't lead the comm there. It has nothing to do with this fiasco.

Arthael from Thailandia is the only KA that resign to make a point on this.

Cadney tried too damn hard to get appointed. Why would she want to leave the throne of shit she forged for herself. Same with more famewhores KA.

Misako is a bitch. And Brazilian comm is split because of her.
When the KAs were being chosen Misako made sure no one other than her brazilian friend Akemi would run for it.
Now there are people hate our KA and people who defend her and this sucks.

My point is: fuck Misako. And fuck JLA.

I called it since part one when everyone was trying to translate this for Misako.

She doesn't give a fuck as long as she gets perks. And, as I said, her goals are aligned with John's. She wants to be popular and famous, he is a conduit for that. I'm really not surprised.

The best thing we can do is not support anything John related. And this is for me personally, but I'm not going to support anything Misako related. I'll support the hell out of Midori and Akira though.

I hope this doesn't sound bad but Midori can handle her own. She seems very capable of calling someone on their bullshit/distancing herself if you have ever seen her.

Sounds like she and John would get along. Oooops, they already do.

As of right now we don't know where Misako stands on this. Please stop spreading rumors and wait for her to make a statement.
