Interesting read! SCM not entirely wrong on his claims. Also in today's day and age, hard to act like you don't know anything about destroying wetlands... Some what of a stupid response to make, when environmental issues have been a hot topic for decades.

Never knowingly engaged in any wrongdoing. Only thing missing from usual song and dance is a  reference to a northfield groom  being involved. ngc3

As long as this has been going on back and forth his lawyer bill probably much higher than the actual fine.

Damnnnnnn

I think rent is going to be going up --- to offset the costs.  The 200k penalty is going to be nothing compared to the costs to undo the damage done. And Authorities will probably keep a watchful on on the restoration of property.

Way too late for that!  Those 2 hate each other.  I do think Ford could pay him off to shut up about him.  But people like Ford think they are above the law or consequences.

I just think of these two together but ur probably right.

And the quote that he wasnt knowingly aware of any wrongdoing is totally unbelievable. Everyone knows you gotta check environmental impact out these days. I agree Ford arrogance here appears to project a disgraceful disregard for norms the rest of us adhere by.

Just read an article saying he diverted a stream and was illegally dumping for 9 years at both his locations. And he wants to tell us he didn't know what he was doing or that it was wrong? Cmon, Mark!

All of these gvt agencies that have oversight are close to useless. Its a mistake to piss them off though. Sometimes one does that and they will go after one with a vengance.

All these negative comments on a successful trainer/business man who put back into the business some of what he took out.

Let's see..... prime land over 200 acres some of which is subdivided in Orange County NY probably worth in excess of $14 Million. Let's hope he doesn't sell like Show Place did.

I am not going to say he is or is not a good guy or a bad guy. In all my time in the industry, I have had surprisingly little direct contact with him to be a judge, Having said that, although I try not to be vague, I wonder how many of you know much of the story of how he acquired the big farm adjacent to 84, who arranged it and who is/was a partner/s? I am not naming names on this one. I will leave that up to those who may know.

Petrelie had nothing to do with this one. The suit was started long before.

Wise owl is wise!  They're just jealous of Marks success similar to SCM. Name me one horseman that's worth what he is.

Most of the dummies don't even know Mark probably the same dumb liberals that ran to get the covid vaccine because the government told them too fucking idiots.

My only reference to  scm is bits of posts on here. I do know there is some kind of feud between him and ford but really couldnt care a bit. Never watched a scm video and although ive probably accesed a few of his posts on here from months ago was immediately turned off by the nonsense. I dont believe him on anything any more than i do Ford.

However, one cant read the TU article without thinking the claim Ford apparently made that he never knowingly enaged in wrong doing laughable. I found it as amusing as all the crooks in jail who say there really innocent.

Glad to see you saw the light Ignorance. Now it seems only Gagoots and Haku still around to cyber bully Mike Petrelli.

BTW I never participated in the bullying nor did I even accolades for Mike. He has proven to be a big enough man to take care of himself. I will say this though, if his Orange County juicer thread is still up, he was right o the money.

Now I see how some poor kid at school gets caught up as a victim of cyberbullying. Ford and his cronies sent out a gang to get Mike He has the last laugh.

BTW, I never met Mike but commend him for what he has exposed.

I wish those 2 would just get in the ring and fight it out!  We would all be winners no matter the outcome.  Ford is a douche that thinks rules don't apply to him.  SCM is a bitter old man with an axe to grind.  But this has to be like Christmas morning today.  SCM has to be smiling ear to ear with this news.  And I agree it's hilarious.  Goshen sale should be interesting.  Will he go off the deep end?
