Bizarre that June/DerekM have ditched posting on SSC, but continue to update the fake LinkedIns. Who is the hoaxster trying to hoax at this point? What are the motivations for continuing? Great point. What exactly is the end-game now with basically everyone figuring out it's a hoax on both websites...

The Biz Journal article says 36. Hoping for 40.

The LED does remind me of the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas - cool for sure.

I'm not a legal expert, but if it is someone else, like Minn, I wonder if Christensen would have any legal right against him for identity theft... albeit on the internet.

errrr.... yeah, I'm sure no one will mind about this... no credibility lost at all... "I deeply regret my lack of good judgment in using pseudonyms," Minn said in a statement. "I hope that by acknowledging these facts, I will be able to re-earn the trust of city officials and continue...

That's great info. Spring seems to be a stretch, but it sure would be exciting to see this project get off the ground by summer.

He might have some other people convinced as well? From this site or in the Commercial Real Estate world?

Grant - you must continue to have some dialogue with Ryan it seems? What about June?

It seems like a bold move for someone to actually contact this Rick Christensen in the Rochestor area about this, but may be one of the only ways to get answers. As has been stated, there could be a whole range of possibilities with him. He could be incapacitated and someone is controlling his accou...

That is a terrific take FISHMANPET. It is so hard to believe that whoever this is couldn't have figured by now they've been outed - especially from SSC where they're very active. On the otherhand, if they know they've been outed, they're doubling down at this point with those LinkedIn posts. Strange.

Maybe I've missed this, but are there plans for this project to start anytime soon?

I couldn't agree more with Nick's post along with what DFPegg said earlier as well - this has to be Rick Christenson. - TexasRe was always propping him up about how wealthy he was, the contacts he has etc. - He seems to be from Rochestor, and low and behold anything that TexasRE suggested DerekM (fr...

I was hoping to log on today to the Rumors tab and hear that a malevolent international internet ring had been busted for hoaxing Commercial Real Estate threads about potential new skyscrapers and released were names and photos of the suspects involved... that didn't happen...

^^That is a fantastic sketch - I think we all knew he might really look like that...

Is it out of the realm of possibilities that Jacob Frey would have an account on UrbanMSP (not that that has anything to do with this boondoggle)?

That may be true, but TexasRE's photo seems to be a professional photo (unlike so many other's on LinkedIn that have endorsed her), and when I pulled her up on LinkedIn she has no photo at all. So she ONLY did a professional photo for the SSC website and NOT on a site actually designed to promote yo...

The fact that these photos cannot be found anywhere else from a reverse image search on the internet seems to suggest in itself that this is a hoax - does it not? Wouldn't that come in to question for the people still not sure or believing Ryan & June are real?

That is a fantastic assesment MN Fats. I have been on SSC since April of last year (with a different screen name), but have not posted over there yet. I don't have a good reason why, maybe because I was at the time too enthralled by what was being said by TexasRE all of the time. Maybe I should have...

It's crazy to think there are people private messaging with TexasRE and Ryan that still believe what they're saying whole heartedly with all of the mounting evidence. I can only speak for myself, but if that were me and the evidence was as clear as it is - I would no doubt request an in-person meeti...

When I go on linkedIn, you're always able to click on a profile (to the best of my knowledge) and get to their page. With all of the people that have endorsed June - I cannot get into their profiles. They don't lead anywhere, and the pictures of the profiles seem as if they're for the most part casu...

^^Very true.

IllogicalJake, to the best of your knowledge, has June/Ryan provided any information to these people they are private messaging that would suggest they are indeed real people?

I'd be curious to know if people are being convinced that they are indeed real people.
