Winning the Stripperband? well that took playing 3 shows, what happened the next 6 months after that was anything but fun. It was put on by a company called “Cheezy Flicks”, they released a movie called “I Am Virgin”. What they really do is distribute old B-Movies for the most part, they were going to be shooting and making a new movie that was a spoof from the movie Zombieland, it is about woman who turn into stripper zombies. The contest was called Stripperband, the winners of the semi-finals and finals would have their music in the movie and the winners of the contest would have their music featured in the movie as well as whole host of other prizes.
The contest was held over a 12-week period starting in May of 2010, 40 bands played shows at venues all over Portland. Shel Bailey, former DJ at a local radio station called me up and said, murder rock, zombies, strippers, you have to do this. Sounded good to me. The first show we played was at Stars, a chain strip club place that really looks more kind of like the Denny’s of strip clubs. We went on first and had to leave right after our 30 min set to play another show. Later that night I got a text and it said we won, so off to the semi-finals, which were in about 6 weeks.
The next event we went on first again and had to leave once again before the night was over because we had another show to do, same thing I get a text and we had won again. The finals were held on a Saturday night, July 31st 2010. And we played last and then it was announced we won, right afterward they had to re-count the votes because people in Restrut were upset as well as a singer in the band Rogue Shot, and Jeff Allen the MC for the evening who has worked with Restruct. It was about how the whole contest was rigged and no way could we have won.
5 days later on that following Thursday night at 10:15 pm, I get a call. Up till that point no one had contacted me about winning the contest. After about Tuesday of that week I knew something was wrong. I contacted a few of the judges and they told me they were re-counting the votes, people were upset we won, the whole thing started sounding like maybe it was going to be not so fun. I had gotten some emails from the singer in Rogue Shot and here’s a small sample of those emails that started on that following Wednesday August 5th:
This is Matthew, Outwardly, you appear to be...well, very accepting of what I would consider to be abhorrent behavior. Yet you win graciously, and seem to have people figured out...a plan, so to speak. I want to hate you. I'm sure you run into this frequently, and even thrive on it. But I have to admit, your even keel reactions, and positive attitude, have me second-guessing my initial response. I couldn't honestly tell you how well you played, because I was angry at your premise. I still wouldn't knowingly let you near my kids. However, I wanted to wish you well. If you're going to find success, I hope it's worth the trouble you'll inevitably stir up.
You're right, I judged you without knowing you. On what you presented. Wrong or right, I saw a person who wanted people to think he was influenced by, and wanted to be like, a person who tortured, raped and killed, 33 young boys between 1972 and 1979. You were well prepared, original, and.. I could not stay objective. That said, I did write the station, and said, more or less the same things I started ranting about, the moment I heard about someone allegedly mimicking Wayne Gacy. I would not have said a word against either of the other bands, had they won. I thought about doing it anonymously, but decided I was not afraid to stand behind my statements. After corresponding with you, I feel like I MAY have misjudged you. However, you can be assured, if that's the case, I won't be the last one to do so. Furthermore, I suspect you're counting on it.
I have the same rights as you, to be able to speak my mind, even if you and everyone else, think I'm wrong. I've said nothing behind your back, that I wouldn't say to your mask/face. What's more, I don't care if you, your fans, the radio station, or any other bands, don't like me for doing it. I'll say what Ibelieve, and I'll say it without hiding behind a mask. I'm done complaining, I'm going to leave you alone. I would be fine writing back and forth with you in defense of my position. If that's something that interests you. cheers.You're right, I judged you without knowing you. On what you presented.

Ok so this guy went on to call the radio station, and everyone that would listen and then rants on to me for about 2 ½ days via emails, his band finally emailed me and said they were sorry, he was just upset about losing. Well the phone call did come from the people at Cheezy Flicks. That Thursday night at about 8 PM from the person who had been in charge of the event, Ritchie Bristol. He started yelling at me within 3 minutes of the phone call, telling me everyone thought the event was rigged, they couldn't understand how we won, that over the last few days he has had to work extra hard to defend the Wayne Gacy trio, for 20 minutes this guy is just going on and on. I final stop him and remind him, all we did was win your contest, that’s all, we did what we were told, when we were told, for how many minutes and that was it, we played in front of judges you contacted to be part of the contest, the other bands are mad because that’s what happens.
He told me he had to put up a web site and post all the ballots and have all the judges look them over and then sign off on them. After looking at the web page he posted, out of the possible 550 points total you could earn, 11 judges at a maximum 50 points each, we had received 477, 2nd place was 427 points.
The next day Friday August 6th, I contact Shel Bailey, I told her the following: I get this call last night, and Ritchie Bristol was yelling at me about how much extra work he has had to do and he is done with this. She then tells me he is getting fired and she will take care of it for me, her and the owner will get right on it and she is so sorry. She say’s “lets get a meeting together for next Friday” and I say great, thanks for helping.
When I get back and check my email Friday afternoon, this is what I had received from Ritchie Bristol:

I was given some contact information for the sponsors and told to get a hold of them as soon as I can, as the person in charge of the event wanted to be done with it all and was so burnt out he was sorry he was even involved. 4 days later from Shel Bailey who send she was taking care of all this sends me an email:
Hi Tony. I'm not sure when this is going to happen. We have been working on the details of your prize package. I'm a little embarrassed that I brought you into this. Our film has been kindly covered by media outlets all over the country. I don't think anyone needs to be fired, especially since we r all doing it for points on the back end.
I will leave all further communication about this up to the owner he will be in touch with you. If you don't feel its in a timely manner and choose to pull out, that's fine. While the company is ready to live up to our obligation, we don't feel like dealing with your ungrateful and unprofessional attitude.

While the company is ready to live up to our obligation, we don't feel like dealing with your ungrateful and unprofessional attitude.
Ok, now its a hot mess, I decide that I will start contacting everyone and just get done with it, after all they all were working together on the event so it should all good. After contacting the first sponsor I go down and pick up our gift certificates, they comment about how much they weren't pleased with everyone at Cheezy Flicks, then I contact Becky at Empire labs, they make the “Clone a Willy” and I come to find out she is none too happy with the movie company or Ritchie Bristol who is in charge of the contest. Then I am to contact the radio station for two reasons. One to get a hold of Jeff Allen, he owns the Black Diamond recording studio and host a radio show called Via La Luna on Kufo, we are to be featured on his show and get $10,000.00 in artist development from his studio, plus a possible record label deal with his label. He sets up a time to interview us after Rockfest.
A few days later I try to contact another sponsor from Rose City Music Management, Rick Scott. Rick’s partner Andy Self worked on the production of all the shows for the contest. I was to receive a consultation with Rick and a possible management deal. I noticed at first I wasn’t getting any emails back, so I wrote him and email and said if he wanted off the hook that was fine and I would understand if the band wasn’t his cup of tea so to speak. We finally spoke and he has been none too happy with Cheezy Flicks or the way he was treated and was also having some trouble with Ritchie Bristol. We talked for about an hour and a half and ended up getting along great. He liked the band, he did say it disturbed him, but he thought we were the best band, played the best and had the most interesting show out of all the bands. I spoke to him 5 days before Rockfest. I haven’t spoken to him since writing this.
Rockfest is another part of the prize package, it’s an event put on by KUFO a hard rock station, they seem to be all over the place with what they do and really have a shrinking market share at best. I have never listed to the station before. The prize is this, we are to open Rockfest featuring bands like Godsmack, Sevendust, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd and so forth. I’m to contact a person named Ditch who is the program director at Kufo. It took Ditch weeks to get back to me, then I’m told I have to contact Bode, he takes about a week to get back to me, then I am told I have to contact this guy Ray from Florida who is the promoter of the show. As the days go by, I have no idea of where we are playing, where we load in or any information at all. I email Bode and Ditch and ask for some information once again. One week before the show I get an email from Bode and it says he will contact me next week, he does 3 days before Rockfest, only to let me know I need to contact the promoter and he will have all my answers for me.
We get together one night before rehearsal and I let everyone know this is all not going so well. I know where this is all headed, since we won a contest put on by a company that traded money for ad space and sponsorship through radio advertising for a show put on by another company, the promoters at the event are going to care less and the radio station has already been paid, upwards of 30,000.00 dollars, so it will most likely be we will just have to stay out of the way and do what we are told and be nice to everyone, easy for us to do.
On Wednesday evening August 25th I get an email from Ray the promoter in Florida and we are to be there by 11 am, on stage for our sound check at 12:00, gates open at noon and we go on from 1:00 – 1:10, we are to be on time and he includes a PDF of a site map. He also asked for a stage plot and crew list for the band. Both of which I had sent to Bode a few weeks ago. I send them off to Ray with some other questions and that’s that. We play our 10 mins and were all good to go.
What’s left is the studio part of the package. It’s 10,000 worth of artist development, which means not much really. I contacted the studio about half way through the stripperband thing and found out rates were at $65.00 per hour, after wards I was told that it was 175.00 per hour.
Jeff Allen contacted me, he owns the studio, the label and is a DJ on KUFO for a show called Via La Luna, he emailed me and said the studio stuff was on hold till he was paid by the person in charge of the Stripperband contest which is Ritchie Bristol. I sent Ritchie the email from Jeff and find out Jeff is to be paid by a venue where the finals were held and his check has been ready since the 2 of August, today is the 1st of September. Ok so if the guy owns a studio, label and is a DJ for KUFO, then you would think he would just take care of it and have us not be part of it. Wrong. So the studio time isn’t happening till this guy gets his 150.00 for Mc’ing the finals.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to touch base one more time and see if there is anyway we can have you all take care of this so we can come in and use our time in the studio. This whole thing seems to have been hard on everyone involved, however we didn't do anything other than win a contest. I don't think we should be put in the middle of anything and everyone I have spoke with feels the same way. I really want to just try to turn this into something good, as of so far it has been really anything but that.

Jeff you seem like a really nice guy as do you Ritchie, I really have no bad feeling toward anyone, I'm just upset that everyone isn't doing what they should and maybe that's what we all have in common right now. So Jeff, if in deed Ritchie owes you 150.00, then Ritchie can you make sure that gets handled and Jeff can we meet next week in the studio? Think about it guys, it's so easy to do the right thing here and turn this into something good. That's all I'm saying.
Thanks
Tony Hughes

Hey Tony,
There is a lot more to this whole deal than just the money (which I have not got yet). I just left the station and talked to Andrew & Trish and nobody knew anything about the money. I am already losing thousands of dollars with this stupid fixed contest, the least that can happen is get me my money for that night before I get you into the studio. It's the only leverage I have for Ritchie to pay me. So when I get paid, I will email you and get you into the studio.... Thanks for your patience.

Ritchie, if Jeff doesn't want to get paid by next Tuesday, let me know. I want to remind you Jeff I have been doing this work for over 25 years and the reason I'm not getting upset is, I don't have to, so please try to remember I have nothing to do with your problems nor do I wish to. As for fixed contest, we won by kicking ass, and we won by playing a better show than rogue shot, the dragonflies or by all means restruct, they all seem like nice guys, but we just kicked their ass that night, simple.

ok, let me explain something to you.... I told Ritchie from the beginning that if this contest was fixed, I wanted nothing to do with it. Now, if you remember, I was a judge at your very first stripperband contest, both myself and another judge gave you all bad marks, there is absolutely no way you should have gotten past that round, 2nd, You should have been disqualified for ripping that guys dick out in front of everyone at the final round just like the band Ninja was for playing 30 seconds over. 3rd, do you think that maybe having your buddy Donnie and the rest of your crew, Buko, Ward etc judge you at the finals was fair to everyone else? I don't give a shit about 25 years... I have been playing live shows for 25 yrs and have had great success. But what happened at Stripperband was completely fucked and ruined everything that I am trying to do for the music scene in Portland.... We don't need any more "Tom Anderson" fixed battle of the bands, it chases people away, and everyone can see right through it. Be honest for just one second... Do you honestly think that you guys are the best band in Portland? Honestly? All you are is a gimmick that plays simple punk music. I get your music, I do, but what happened is that you ruined a lot of shit for a lot of people including yourself by being part of this mess. Look at my band Kandles at Nine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_2OLVRq-a8 We used a fucking girl as our mic stand 10 years ago! But you didn't see us fucking our name up by rigging contests... We were able to do it on our own! Gimmick and all! Why the fuck couldn't you guys have done that? I would've loved to work with you guys! But integrity means a lot to me, a man who is a man will earn my respect... You guys are amateurs and need to grow up.... All I asked for was my money, and all Ritchie did was lie, lie, lie... So you deal with him, I could give a shit about any of this, I signed nothing holding me responsible. And I really don't want to get into a who can fuck who more, because I am a very arrogant cock with a big bank roll, so please don't go there.... Ritchie fucked you guys, not me..............

I didn't rig anything, as for the rest of your email, are you kidding? Jeff really?, Who are you anyways? As for your respect?, your language, tone and accusations are unbelievable, maybe you shouldn't write emails at 3:38 in the morning, good luck with whatever you were trying to do. I'll take this as you are not going to uphold your agreement or word, thanks for the heads up. Ritchie, not sure what you would like to do with Jeff, but I will be sending out my press release along with Jeff's emails this upcoming week. For those of you in the media, I will send you out the whole story later this week, please feel free to call me.

Finally Ricthie Bristol had arranged us to go into another studio Rex Post here in Portland. I have know the engineer Brent Rodgers for some years . I call and set up a time to meet to talk about the session and we move forward. We come into the studio on a Friday evening at 5 pm,. We record tracks on that Friday and Saturday, doing some mixing on that Sunday. A total of 30 hours are used up with a remaining balnce of 27 hours. It had been figured out that we would have 57 hours total and the company Cheezy Flicks would master the tracks as well.
A week goes by and I call Brent to see how the final mixes are coming along and he informs me that the studio has not been paid and that the owner will not be releasing the tracks to us until the bill is paid in full from Cheezy Flicks. That was around the 26th of November.

PAYMENT: 1)
Any royalties to be paid out quarterly for the previous quarter earnings.After trying to contact Ritchie Bristol he finally calls and sends me a contract around the last part of December 2010 to use our music in the movie. The contract isn't well spelled out at all and I call and ask he a couple things, at that point he tells me "I was really baked when I wrote it, so I know it looks all bad, but we can fix it" I tell him I will send a new contract over the 1st of the year and we can get this all worked out, however if the tracks are not paid for and the remaining prizes are not awarded I won't be able to allow or what any music to be used in the film. He says he understands and that the tracks will be paid for and move forward. I did and never heard back about this matter, or see a signed contact, so at that point I was under the impression no music would be used in the film or on the soundtrack.
In January, I contact Brent who works at Rex Post and was our engineer in the studio, and no money has been paid to Rex Post for the recordings and the remaining time has not been booked as the balance will need to be taken care of. The first hours came to 2000.00, I asked if Cheezy Flicks was unable to pay for the tracks what would our cost be, and he called a few days later and said it would be the 2000.00. He then went on to inform me they were working on trade out for printing and when a figure of 500.00 was reached they would release one track to us, and the remaining tracks, 4 & 5 at the same time. and so forth.
A few days go by and Ritchie Bristol sends me an email stating we can do trade out on the balance of the recording time unused in printing. I put together a list of items that we as a band could use. I then get a phone call from Ritchie and he explains that he is at this time unable to do any printing as he had made a deal with Phoenix Media that he would include their logo somewhere in the movie, and that when they had a premier, the owner of Phoenix Media went to see the movie and they had left out his logo and so his deal was off.
The movie premiered on Feb 2nd, we were never sent an invitation and had no idea was being shown. I contacted Ritchie Bristol and informed him we really needed to get this all taken care of,, he began to yell again and started to complain that he didn't have the money to pay for all this and the owner Sean Skelding wanted nothing to do with all this. I informed him, we really should see some kind of sch. for when things would be taken care of and this is what was sent 2 weeks later.

You Wrote:
"spoke with Brent, he said you all have started doing trade outs for the bill, he said it would take quite awhile to get it all handled, also mentioned he wasn't doing the final sound work on the film and that the bands had all been picked. I never did get a final contract from you. If any of my music is used in the film without a contact we will be going court and without using the bands music in the film you have not fulfilled part of the prizes from the contest, so how are you going to be handling all this? I will sign off on the whole thing for the amount of $3200.00 or $4500.00 worth of gear from Guitar Center and send out a shinning press release about the company and film and make sure everyone knows you guys are amazing, if not this really will be dragging on all this year. Lets button this all up asap. "
As your previous email, stating you want no part of any of the Stripperland Project,"and you were done" Additionally you stated you wanted to have the Stripperband project concluded ,
before reaching an agreement to be included on the Stripperland Project.
Therefore No agreement could be met, and obligations could not be fulfilled. No Footage, Audio, Depiction of anything containing WGT will be used.
A letter was sent 3 days ago to Black Diamond Studios and awaits a response.
Until other arrangements can be met, fullfilled or found, We will continue to make payments every 30 days assuming that is accepted by Rex ,tracks would hopefully be released every 60 days. Hopefully after 50% of the balance is taken care of all the tracks will be released.
I believe the time clock does not start, at the conclusion of the contest, but rather
over a month after the contest, when it was finally was determined that an alternative
needed to be found to provide the Sponsor Obligated Prize. From this point all communication should be done in email. A progress "report" will be sent to you by me monthly on the progress.
This is the best i can do for now unfortunately, I know we both want this concluded.
I would suspect my dream of conclusion is higher on the priority scale, then it is for you.

I think you may have misunderstood when I said I want no part of the stripperland contest, as we entered, showed up and won, we have indeed been part of you contest with the understanding of what the prizes were and expected, each and everyone of them to be awarded. As for the movie, no updated contract was ever sent over clearing the requested materiel as you promised.
I am sorry you were unable to make this all happen before the film is done and therefore not allowing us the opportunity to be part of the film, but no other compensation has been talked about to amend that portion of the prizes as well as the mastering of the 3 songs or the video, or the video, are you now unable to award those prizes as well? If so I think 3rd party litigation may be in order and if that is something I should pursue please let me know.
What would you like to outline?, what you are now not awarding as prizes?
Please go over the prizes that will be awarded at this point and when those will be taken care of.
Please feel free to email me any and all progress. You have given me 3 different times and or dates that the letter to Black Diamond was sent at this point. I will be open to any and all arrangements that have a timeline attached to.
We are looking forward to concluding this and moving forward. As for when the prizes should have been awarded it should have been at the conclustion of the contest not 7 months afterward still having your company try to make that happen, which I'm sure wasnt your plan from the start was it. As I said I am by all means not mad, just dont want to hear about your companies issues and problems as they are by all means none of my concern, I'm sure you must understand that. As for never having a meeting and time lines laid out that was by all means a mistake and has allowed for a very unprofessional approach in dealing with these matters.

We have 2 Prizes left, Studio Time and Music Video.
the Music Video, is a Professionally Produced Music Video, I wish to make the best thing we can for you, with more then just the footage we have already, but forsee your constant- mediation for money will only hurt Cheezys desire to interact with you at any level, making my job harder.

3 Things left.
Video,
Working on it. It will be completed before April 1st
Rex,
2 Payments have been made, a third will be made soon and a Track will be delivered. There after is a Tiger Bar Showing of Stripperland, Heaven Forbid that 100 People show up, and I can pay for another track(2) March 1st. There After is a CD Release Party, Heaven forbid that 200 People Show up and I am able to deliver the remaining tracks to you March 18th. (Notice a relation between, you helping me-help you)
After this time we will be selling the CD, 10$ each, I will opt to pay for Rex prior to paying back my investors for the actual Replication and anything else.
Remaining hours
Even thou you turned Down Basset Audio Design as a replacement for the remaining hours. I move forward in trying to find yet another replacement that would deliver tracks Immediately like Basset, without budget.
I can do some of the Printing you requested, but am afraid and being honest that I might run into problems with on time delivery, stating that anything Related to Trade or Event paying Rex takes priority, but that is turned down, and not good enough? Therefore I believe it is at our best interest to put the Remaining Hours on hold, until after at lease 2 of your tracks are delivered and March 18th Cd Release. (FYI- I will secretly work on this anyway in the back ground, but believe it is best for it not to be an item for discussion)
My thoughts and hopes, and dreams is to Finish all this Prior to April 1st so I can move on to other things. This what i have been communicating, and if its not good enough for you, well sorry. It seems that we are back again to where we were weeks ago .
The contract was never sent back to me.
The 1st part of March, we finally meet, in fact this is the first time I had meet with anyone from Cheezy Flicks at all. The meeting was about shooting the video with Ritchie, his assistant and Tyler Benjamin who had something to do with shooting the Stripperland movie. We talk about ideas and dates and I am told by Ritchie the video needs to be done on the 19th of March as the company is busy and many things planned. I agree and then on the 16th I am told we won't be shooting and since that time I have been informed they will be shooting on the 5th of April.
In the middle part of March KUFO announced they were changing formats and Jeff Allen along with the program director and everyone we were involved with have been fired.
On Monday March 28th I started to try to contact Ritchie again and this was sent to me on
March 29th
Two Separate Payments were made to Rex,
You received One track.
Two more Separate payments were made to Rex,
You received your Second Track.
One Payment has been made,
after one more Payment you will receive your 3rd Track.
After You receive your 3rd Track, more payments will be made and you will receive more tracks.
I will do it as fast as I possibly can,
No predictions, deadlines, no estimations-- Just results
I spoke to Ritchie Bristol about using the song within the film it was with the understanding that all of the prizes from the contest would be fulfilled and then the song would be released for usage in the movie. At this point no contract or agreement has been reached and the DVD of the movie is now being offered at locations through retail and online sales, the film has also been shown at theaters and the soundtrack has been manufactured and is being sold. To date March 30th 2011, one track has been released from Rex Post. The CD of the soundtrack is being duplicated at this moment and is listed on retail web sites for sale through at distribution deal with CDBaby.com, the CD is being duplicated at Cravedog in Portland Oregon. The movie is using the same song "Get Your Pants Off" and is being show at local theaters and is listed for sale through retail web site. The soundtrack is also slated to be available at retail locations such as Best Buys, BordersYou received One track.

On Monday I contacted my friend Hart Fisher in LA and asked for help on the matter. The song being used in the movie was not recorded as part of the prize package and was released back in 2009 on another CD that was paid for by myself. At no point have I been contacted by Sean Skelding, the owner of Cheezy Flicks regarding any of these matters. I have emailed him on 3 different occasions.
This is the email that was sent to Sean Skelding on March 30 2011:
Sean, Ritchie is unable to handle this is a professional manner and its time as the owner of the company you may want to step in. I have included you in a couple emails and have yet to hear from you. I think it's time we figure out how to take care of this and move forward. It's been 7 months since the contest ended and I would like to conclude everything. I'm sorry this has all turned out this way and wish I didn't have to contact you about these matters, but having Ritchie yell on the phone, call you and everyone else names isn't helping anymore.

Ritchie,
Neither you nor your company have been able to award the Wayne Gacy
Trio the prizes they won and are owed in a timely fashion, the contest
ended on July 31st of 2010, which was 7 months ago. Since that time we
have been awarded, the gift certificates from Taboo, the clone a
willy's, and one track of the studio, as well as opened Rockfest.We have had countless conversations with you yelling and blaming
everyone else about all this, you have lied, tried to bully us, been
rude and done anything but be upfront. We have come to a place and
time where we now know we are unable to trust you or your company.
Due to the fact that neither you or I have signed a contract to use rude and done anything but be upfront. We have come to a place and
time where we now know we are unable to trust you or your company.
any of our music in the movie or on the soundtrack and you were
informed that until all the tracks and studio time were paid for we
would not be interested in being part of the movie, you now have two
choices in this matter:
1.
By April 4th
All tracks must be paid for - balance of 1500.00
A credit of 1560.00 for us to use in printing from Phoenix Media or
the balance or time at Rex Post for the amount of 24 hours at 65.00
per hour
Send us a signed contract for usage of our music within the movie and soundtrack
2.
Remove our music from the movie Stripperland and the soundtrack.
If the remaining time of the studio and the tracks we have recorded
are not awarded to us within 30 days of today we will be seeking
litigation on these matters.
This should have been handled long ago, you are at this time in
violation of Federal copyright. I think at the cost of 3060.00 to
finish this instead of re-doing everything would be a wise choice, but
at this point that would be up to you and your company. The original
prize was 10,000 in artist development, this is anything but that. We informed that until all the tracks and studio time were paid for we

have meet once since winning the contest, you have been unable to make
every deadline you have set, we have never been contacted by the owner
of the company and your actions have been anything but professional.
You should be thankful that we are giving you the opportunity to make
good on this instead of filing charges against you for false
advertising, breach of contract and violating Federal copyright laws,
however if you are still unable to take care of this, these matters
will move into that direction as we have had enough of you and the way every deadline you have set, we have never been contacted by the owner
of the company and your actions have been anything but professional.

Instead, Tony Hughes has harassed my employees, sent threatening emails, and is trying to make me out as the bad guy.
