Not to bump an old thread, but this Brandon Ackerman guy is a complete clown. Over the last year he's hit me up several times claiming he wants to buy all my content. He'll ask for a list and a price, I'll give him both, and he'll assure me he'll be sending me the money. Then he'll vanish, resurface two or three months later, and ask for a list and price yet again. In May he even claimed he sent me an external hard drive for me to throw my content on and mail back to him. It never arrived, and when I asked for the tracking number, he replied:

I'll look for the paper later

contentlicensing (31.05.2017 15:09):
I sent it ground so should be there in 5 business days


Of course it never showed up because he clearly never sent it. Mid-July rolls around and he messages me:

contentlicensing (18.07.2017 21:47):
Ready to do this content deal?


He's hit me up several times since then asking for my content list and price. When I once again gave him the list and a very reasonable price of $600.00, his response was:

contentlicensing (24.11.2017 00:55):
Will you accept BTC

contentlicensing (24.11.2017 00:55):
0.00999915 BTC

contentlicensing (24.11.2017 00:55):
For the library


Of course I told him no since, at the time, .00999915 BTC only translated to roughly $98.00. Laughable offer. A few days later he tells me:

contentlicensing (30.11.2017 22:57):
I'll send you 250 on the 5th

contentlicensing (30.11.2017 22:58):
Then balance in a few days after


Of course the 5th comes and he never pays me, which I was fully expecting since I'm no idiot and had realized the guy's a complete waste of time. Just to see his excuse, I messaged him asking for the payment and this was our exchange:

contentlicensing (05.12.2017 17:30):
I'm in miami

contentlicensing (05.12.2017 17:30):
Tell me what we got


ANT (05.12.2017 17:32):
Are you kidding me? I've told you ten times already. Just forget it. You're clearly not serious and never have been. Every few months you hit me up saying you want all my content, ask for a list, and ask how much. I give it to you, you say you'll get me the funds, then you disappear for another few months. Then resurface saying you want all my content again, ask for a list, and ask for the price. It's a never ending circle with you. At this point I'm convinced you're anything but legitimate.

ANT (05.12.2017 17:33):
"I'll send you 250 on the 5th" you told me last week. It's now the 5th and you're telling me you're in Miami and asking for a list yet again.

contentlicensing (05.12.2017 17:38):
I'm here buying content right now. Stop acting like a girl. I'm a very busy person

contentlicensing (05.12.2017 17:38):
I litterally have 20 messages from people trying to sell me content that I haven't o pened yet

contentlicensing (05.12.2017 17:39):
My company deposited the money today and the check hasn't cleared yet. But it says deposit pending.

contentlicensing (05.12.2017 17:39):
You do understand I have the largest content company in the USA right>


He then asked for a list yet again, asked if he could include my models in his ex-girlfriend packages, and that's the last I've heard from him. In two or three months he'll message me again saying something along the lines of, "I need all your content, man!"
