I do beleive however, due to this persons mix up in being unlicensed that everyone that completed a course through his business should now however check to see if their piece of paper saying they have participated is legal ...
I do believe this is something else, not the licence matter.
"the Devil has already pointed out that this is not about the QLD demonstrator."
I won't speak for the rest of the "vultures", as I suspect their motives may not all be the same as mine, but personally I'd rather know who I shouldn't be dealing with. I'd prefer to find out the way that doesn't cost me money and pain for a change, since I've been taken for thousands by crooks in this "hobby" in the past. Also, frankly I'm tired of the protection of people who do the wrong thing, bad enough you have to wade through a bunch of hangers on who spout rubbish about these people and make them out to be honest folk who've been hard done by, when we're trying to find someone to buy from. Why should we also be kept from the truth when criminal charges are laid, or similar, just because they've got a "name". One of the people who ripped me off is regularly lauded as some sort of herping legend, I wish I'd known before I lost a month's wages. If they don't want negative publicity, they should do the right thing. True mix ups and misunderstandings are rare, and they come out in wash eventually. I don't agree with naming people when there's no proof they've done the wrong thing, when it's between two people only they know the truth. But are we now to believe that knowing when someone has been proved to have done the wrong thing is wrong too?
It's pretty easy to find out about the nature of those with whom you intend to deal, without being influenced by a lynch mob here. I understand your argument ShadowDragon, and I'm sorry that you have come to grief in your dealings with unscrupulous keepers/breeders, but the motives of many here are more self-righteous and vicarious than practical, so you will rarely get an objective overview of any prospective association. From what I understand (and that's not much...) the article which is the reason for this thread didn't have anything to do with deceiving fellow reptile keepers and stealing their money.
I've never had a problem with my dealings with suppliers, and sometimes that has involved large amounts of money, but I always ask around before committing funds to any purchase. You can usually find out on the grapevine what people are like to deal with.

I understand completely what you are saying and agree with you. BUT for some people especially newcomers they have no understanding of how the grapevine works or how to use it
