Re: Rev. Valladar's Space Lottery
FYI,
In case it isn't obvious to everyone here this Rev. Valladar is likely
an Internet version of a con artist. This is the contact info. (likely
a P.O. Box) from the web site:
> "Church of the Founding Fathers"
> c/o Rev. Ikos Valladar
> 2318 2nd Ave. #620
> Seattle, Washington 98121
If anyone in Seattle would like to check this out with the Seattle
B.B.B. or appropriate authorities it would be appreciated.
I really doubt that this guy has been working with Gene Meyers (Gene may
be misguided, but I don't think he would stoop to this guy's level) or
any other legitimate space entrepreneurs or organizations that he
references on his web site. He just identified an audience willing to
act on their emotions on the chance of going into space. If this guy is
legit, then he should be able to produce some form of non-profit
fundraising identification issued by Washington state or the I.R.S.

PS: These are exactly the types of characters that I predicted that
would be attracted to a "space lottery" scheme like SpaceShare, that Dr.
Buzz Aldrin proposed in his book "Encounter with Tiber". Not that it
can't be worked out, but care need to be taken so that people are not
"taken."
