Tell me more about Andreus

another suspect person refuses to stop stirring the pot.

Well ... if that is meant for me, then I can see how you can reach that conclusion because I've been a bit of a jerk in this thread. In 10,000 posts this is the most controversial I have ever been here. Usually I just make the odd silly comment here and there without really adding anything of significance to the discussion. Perhaps it should have stayed that way.

I never knew what his last name supposedly was. The first I heard of Thanos was from BostonPirate. MidnightPrism has offered an explanation of why BP may have honestly thought that was Dreu's last name. He seemed to be quite cautious of being identified with his dad, and the family business. And, given his many nefarious activities, who could blame him?

You are overlooking some things, Ky. Boston Pilate also said Andreus was first his student, then his colleague and ultimately a tenant in a property he claimed to own. Don't you think a teacher, colleague and landlord, not to mention a friend in real life would know his name?

On another forum which had a membership measuring in only the hundreds, I became close to a man whose death was imminent. I enjoyed personal, face-time relationships with some of the forum members, and a few of us hoped to do whatever we could on behalf of our terminal friend: money, time, travel, compassion, etc. We cared (and even now, I do care) about this individual.

It's hard for me to explain my sense of stupendous idiocy, humiliation, betrayal and devastation when it turned out that my friend had been deceiving us about his health. I had spent tears--I had wept--on his behalf only to find out they were suckered.

I have no personal interest in Andreus, except that I enjoyed his posts.

On the other hand, I think such a deceit would be viscerally damaging.

I hope there's no truth to it because of the very real hurt such a betrayal could cause.

you're on to something. bostonpirate has some explaining to do. if you ask me, he's the prime suspect.

if he knows who he is, he should be able to explain instead of playing games.

At the very least, it is odd that this site is willing to maintain online cemetery plots with no bodies/no proof that a real person actually died, yet omits the very real and well-documented Tyler Clementi.

It’s disgraceful, actually. Might as well have a plot in there for Dobby.

As I recall, the ENTIRE Garden of Memories got lost when JUB was upgraded. I'm rather surprised that nobody has been able to find Tyler's thread, though, and move it...presumably it should still be in the archives. I don't remember his username, and I can't remember any *UNCOMMON/RARE* key word that would have been in that thread. (If it was a thread about pumpernickel bread instead, it would be very easy to find.) I already tried finding it once, so I could send the link to a Mod and suggest the thread be moved to GoM, but I had no success.

pfff.…if your last name is really even "prism." FAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!

And his first name is Midnight. That is obviously a cat.

When in doubt, ALWAYS blame it on the cat.

Could it be that Andreus was paranoid enough, that he worked with a fake ID? All he had to do was to change a couple letters in his real last name, and he probably had the resources to get a fake ID, and he may have been living much of his life under an alias.

In other words, he could *still* be real, and the untraceability of his name wouldn't mean anything.

Sure, it's possible. It's possible he was CIA, it's possible he was Interpol, it's possible he was Greek intelligence, it's possible he faked his death before coming here and assumed an all new name, it's possible he lied about his name.

It's just imho a very fair/reasonable thing to say that the more complicated you need to get in order to keep the persona he presented consistent, the less likely it's genuine.

 

[sixthson]

Frank, weirder things have happened, I guess, but since he was employed here, went to school here and had health care here he would have needed a social security number and to have paid income taxes and FICA. That would almost require assuming someone else's identity, wouldn't it?

Yup, why did this thread even get started?
I know how it was started, but it goes onto 10 pages!
It's like a race thread, goes on and on and on.

There has never been a memorial thread for Tyler Clementi.

The only Tyler Clementi thread that ever appeared in the Garden of Memories was a locked down fucking crime scene - a disgusting presentation of JUB on its own.

Not that I would want to see that back up, but if JUB’s lawyers don’t have a copy of that on file then they’re not worth cold piss. I’m sure the FBI kept a copy of it.

I'm kind of shocked.

When I first arrived here, Andreus seemed the most popular member of JUB (together with Soilwork).

 

[ozguy]

Foolishness. EVERYone knows I was the most popular.

At last! Something worth reading amongst all this crap ..... YAY!!!! Hi Ger!!!!

 

[kallipolis]

Just a little useless trivia to pass the time - it is Saint Andrew's (Andreas) day, today 30th November in the calendar of the Greek Orthodox Church.

Too true......despite which, shadow man continues with his elaborate games attempting to entertain we mere peasants.

 

[Corny]

This thread is thoroughly entertaining and amusing. Thanos wasn't his true last name. I was told in private that it was his middle name and his last name was something different.

Another internet lie?

Interesting though that Mitri then used his brother's middle name as his family name

Wish you could tell us what it was, if only for something concrete at last, unless revealing it you would deem as unethical. His degree of error would be helpful in attempting to reach a conclusion.

The degree of error would be, that at this point, he for sure wasn't where he claimed he was. And given his technical wrong explanation, probably never.

Frank, three points to address:

Point 1: Peoplefinders dot com doesn't charge you anything to find out the city in which a person lives, or his age. You have to pay, though, to get the telephone number and address.

I have used it very many times over the years, and I have drawn up a blank only once (for a real person, that is.)

Professional private detectives prefer LexusNexus dot com, however, because they see it as the most accurate one. However, you have to pay for everything there.

Point 2: I agree. While I feel hurt, disappointed, and dismayed to learn of Andreus's fakery, I now feel pretty amazed at the complexity of the character that the puppeteer drew up for us. I believe that it shows a man with a most remarkable imagination--a creative genius.

Point 3:Somebody mentioned the pictures. The pictures I saw look very much like the pictures of that Juan-guy--the actor in Mexico, The man in the second picture, in particular, looks exactly like the same man I saw in the pictures "Andreus" sent me.

I have no doubt now that, at the very least, "Andreus" told us a pack of lies.

This is actually quite surprising.

Did no one keep a pic of Andreus that he sent them?

Reverse pic search would categorically prove at least whether he lied about his pics.
