Unfortunately RustyRyan is not paying dividends and loans back anymore. Please mark him as a scammer.

Forgot all about that guy. Is that the one that had the 8 week term deposots then disappeared right as it was up?

I'd imagine the people who fell for such an obvious ponzi right after Pirate were too embarassed to ask for one. It's a throwaway account anyway, largely symbolic at this point, he doesn't post here. I'll take care of it.

I can check the electoral roll and see whether there's a Ryan Walker listed for that address.  I won't have time to go into the electoral office and do an online search until after the Christmas/New Year holidays, though.

He lists James Cook University on his FB profile so it's also possible that he's an international student (I'm slowly combing through his posts to see whether there's any spelling or phrasing indicating the likelihood of him being Australian).
