Woody Nelson Scam?

Then why did Doreen buy it in the first place if they weren't going to fix it up? Was this all part of some grander scheme to cover scams with a "legit" station?
The more I read about this guy, here or other forums, social media, etc., it's apparent that his claims of being a "radio guru" are completely baseless. There isn't anyone that can actually support any of Blood's claims much less anyone ever having actually worked with him. If anything, it's his own self promotion to cover a completely empty background.
On top of being exposed as a fraud, sued by the state of Missouri, have a judge issue an injunction, he still has the time to post (and create more bogus Facebook pages) that his Storm Aid scam concert will be happening in October vs the just passed original August dates. And still doesn't realize that without an actual venue, these claims will only help the case against him. For instance, this:

Maybe Doreen should take away his computer and send him to bed with no supper!

That whittles my point even finer, I think. If the goal was to be in the radio business, GA Triangle Broadcasting would have had engineers, consultants, attorneys, business strategists, marketing advisors and you name it on site and in action as soon as the problems became evident. Given, my only source of info about the 1020 station in Thomasville is Radio-Info.com; but I have seen or read nothing to indicate any remedial action whatsoever is being taken, except the odd mention of the situation by Woody himself.

I wonder, not unkindly, but I do wonder, whether the station was acquired because it was expected to lose money on a yearly basis; thereby offsetting gains in other, profitable enterprises and providing some tax advantage, as well as giving the family black sheep something to occupy his mind while others, who are more competent for the task, are about the business of managing existing holdings and adding to their value.


You ask, Sheriff Andy, if Mrs. Blood had some idea of masking schemes and dodges using a legitimate radio station. My intutition is that this is indeed not her idea at all. She has too much to lose if such a plan runs into trouble.

Look, judging solely by what I have learned following this thread, I believe Mrs. Blood is pretty well legally insulated from fallout from Woody's activities if they are proven to be illegal or unethical. She may buy him out of his jams, as some aver, but she is his mother and mothers do that sometimes: sometimes unwisely. I feel for the lady; but in the end she will do what she feels she must.

However, I do not believe she is in the least unaware of what is happening with and because of her son. Lawsuits are common and far too time-consuming; restraining orders expire. To a man who does not exist as an independent entity, court orders are meaningless. Regardless of the legal outcome, Woody will lose nothing.

Excellent synopsis, Witchlover.
He has an uncanny ability to create interest in the "Woody" character. Possily a book deal in the works.......reality tv show........??
 
Could not be a reality show. A fantasy or a dark comedy, maybe ....

By the way, Sheriff Andy, as far as I have been able to learn, Georgia Triangle Broadcasting is not involved in Woody's Storm-Aid activities. I know that the news reports mention the company in some of their copy, but this farce is all Woody, all the time. If, indeed, certain parties are attempting to work with Mrs. Blood to resolve this situation, she will only do what she agrees to do; I will be surprised - shocked! - if Mrs. Blood, Georgia Triangle Broadcasting or wsbx are ever part of any legal actions which may be brought because of this situation. As I said, she appears to me to be pretty well insulated from fallout. Also, we are all well to remember that this poor lady is no stranger to similar situations.
 
Well, he was apparently so guilty that he wouldn't even show up to defend himself. What a complete deadbeat. Doing the math, it looks like he's (or more probably his Mom, Doreen, again) out at least $24,000 plus whatever restitution his victims claim.
He's currently claiming to be a "Dr. Blood" and is, once again, falsely claiming some radio experience from over 25 years ago! With all this current publicity I seriously doubt if anyone will ever fall for any of his lies anymore.
Besides Facebook and the media all over him, most forums of this sort will now act as vigilant observers and will hopefully call him out whenever the need arises.
Here's a link to the story in the Joplin Globe:

As I said earlier, a Missouri court order means nothing outside of Missouri. If worse comes to worst, Woody can file bankruptcy and all civil judgments against him go away.

WSBX is off the air, as it has been for quite some time now.
Steven Blood has apparently switched his Go Daddy site from Cowboy Bills radio to something called El Chongo. All Spanish music with our favorite scammer providing obnoxious (culturally and audio) "liners". Once again, like the sham of Cowboy Bills, he has NO advertisers. Naturally, he has graphics on one of the site's pages for local advertisers, but that would be news to them!
He's also put up some Facebook and Google + pages about Dr. Blood returning to the airwaves. Once again, our fraudulent friend is engaging in his favorite fantasy about actually having a radio career. In this case he's referring to a possible internship that could've happened over 20 YEARS AGO. Yet, there isn't a soul out there that has ever worked with this guy. Besides, if you've ever heard him online, you know all too well that he doesn't possess the chops for any on air duties.
Thankfully, due to his pissing off some Facebook posters, they're on him like white on rice and will most probably be hounding him until crawls back under another rock that his Mom can pay for.
Does anyone know anything about this Cabo Wabo radio he's always referring to? Outside of his own, self written "press releases", there doesn't seem to be anything online about this fantasy.
Or what about this Carol Ann Cocke? "She" posted a letter right after the Alabama folks exposed his Storm Aid fraud defending him, but I assumed it was him as it was in his usual, incoherent style. Now there's a Google + page for this name, with some weird photos of some big haired woman taken in a bathroom, it would appear. Anyone know who this is? He used to push someone called Veronica Tyler - same person?
Bottom line, Mr. Blood's name is now firmly attached to his Woody Nelson/Jack Hammer characters along with his scams out in California, Missouri and Alabama so I expect his scamming days are numbered. Hey, he might even have to get a real job!!



Clearly, this guy is an excellent example of why any parent with any sort of money should never
 
Nothing on 1020 in Tallahassee, about 35 miles away.
 
I live near the station...I can confirm that there is nothing on the air, but I'll keep my ears open.

I have it on good authority that, yes, he did create the Cabo Wabo radio format. It was then turned over to someone with some very good credentials, who further developed it for the owners. Somehow, there was a "falling out". But, yes, he did do the Cabo Wabo thing.
Can't elaborate a lot more.

Have you been to the site to see if the ground system has been replaced? That would be pretty obvious.
 
What's the lag time between when something is filed on M Street and the time it is posted on line for public access, does anyone have any idea?
