Gibson
Vendettuoli's confession on the Education Forum
On June
11, 2005, Gibson Vendettuoli started a discussion thread on the Education
Forum, entitled "Major Problem." In Mr. Vendettuoli's statement, he made a half-hearted
public confession that he had forged my name on a death threat email which
he sent to the FBI, hoping he could get me "locked up." This is what Mr.
Vendettuoli posted on June 11, 2005:

POSTER: Gibson Vendettuoli

Guess the name of the crazy old anti-Semitic now reporting some
half-truths and falsehoods about us to the FBI
I'm not afraid, though I am sorry, to say that I am partly the reason
we got into this mess. I made a mistake doing what I did, being a child
who acts quickly without thinking, but I figured I could get [Astucia]
locked up. Him and anti-Semitics like him are crazy, especially when
they threaten me with a broken nose. Now this.
He is actually attempting legal action in the United States. Me and
Bob Vernon have not corresponded recently, but I am afraid that if
[Astucia's] legal action goes through on unwarranted charges, not only does
that lead to Vernon suing me for slander, but this (expletive deleted)
goes on my permanent record. I can't have that.
Nik and Matt are not involved. In fact, I don't believe they even
know this is happening. This is way bigger than they know. Nik's
involved with me through a musical I am trying to do for the stage. He
really lives in Australia. And he is not this Nick Andrews fellow that
[Astucia] continually brings up.
All I want to know is, if anyone else is named in this case (namely,
John Simkin, Andy Walker, or Shanet Clark, not to mention Nik and Matt),
will I have your support? I understand that my actions were wrong, but
they were not unwarranted and they should not have led to this. Mr.
[Astucia] (or rather, his new moniker, "John Doe") has gone around the bend
a long time before he met us, and now it's leading to trouble. I'm
sorry, I didn't mean for anyone else to get involved, but now it looks
like that might happen.
Now that we're involved, we're in this together. Will you stand by me
if this case gets any bigger than it already is?

On June 23, 2005, Mr.
Vendettuoli publicly admitted, on the
Education Forum, that he had used a fake name, even though he had
continually harassed me (Salvador Astucia) for doing the same, except I had always been honest
about using a pseudonym, whereas Mr. Vendettuoli was deceptive. In addition,
Mr. Vendettuoli confessed to forging my name on a death threat email and sending it
to the FBI. The following is Mr. Vendettuoli public acknowledgement that Gibson Vendettuoli is not his real name:

If all I'm going to meet with is disbelief, maybe I should just not
be here. I made a mistake, and that is perfectly clear. [Astucia] already
had a vendetta against Simkin and Walker and he tried to rope me into
it. Overenthusiasm to get the mentally deranged such as [Salvador
Astucia]
locked up got the best of me.
My name is not Bud Gibson. Then again, my name is not legally Gibson
Vendettuoli yet (not for another 48 hours) either. Blame my parents for
that. I use that because I felt it sounds like a more interesting name
than my regular.
And what's the problem with me not finding a picture of me that I
liked? I have one now, and I'll put it up as soon as I remember. You
know, I figured I had fought my way through some opening animosity and
was done. I thought we discussed that my parents did not want my photo
online. Now everyone's daring me to put one up over this, though I did
say I would.
I'm done. |
Back to Louis Reigel's claim that
Gibson Vendettuoli's wreckless
action was done merely because the teenager was upset over " certain views"
I had espoused in the Education Forum is completely false. Mr. Vendettuoli never
argued with me about comments I had made on the forum. His main issue was he
wanted me to stop using a pseudonym, even though I had gotten permission
from moderator John Simkin prior to registration. In fact, I would challenge
Mr. Reigel to find a single statement that Mr. Vendettuoli made to me on the
Education Forum which took direct issue with anything I posted or wrote on
that same forum. Mr. Reigel will not find such an instance because it does
not exist.

Astucia has written a book, Opium Lords, which deals with the
opium-rich Golden Triangle and how it was used to pay the men who killed
President John F. Kennedy. Astucia has written a second book, Rethinking
