YouTube - VRAlexander's Channel

his youtube page seems to confirm. he was certainly a lightning rod for some but a car guy to the end.

This is the dork who made the "Carrera GT vs. Beverly Hills" video. Previously discussed in OT (where this thread belongs), where many of us said this guy has a death wish. I guess he got is wish...now the streets are safer.

It happens, and it's not a matter of if but rather when and how. There's a limit, once you exceed that thresh everything is for keeps.

Unfortunately....it's true.
The streets are safer with the likes of him no longer on them.

Doesn't matter what you think, there is NO excuse for driving on public streets the way that this guy did.

He could have killed innocent folks on many an occasion.
That's all I can say.
If he was that great of a driver....he'd still be alive.
He would have been cool, if he'd done this on the track.
On public roads.....no way!

I saw one of his videos where he was going 200mph on a public road at night.

Since I'm not an O.T. fascist I'm not going to say "I'm glad he's dead" but ...

Danny_Ocean is right, this thread belongs in the O.T.

He does not feel anything now.
At least he did not take an innocent bystander with him.

He left a trail of tears, apparently. Maybe he faked his own death to get out from under his bs.

wow...like an iceberg, you only see a small portion of what lies beneath!

there are some tough comments on that link. seemingly much more to his story of success
than met the eye.

sad in any event.

200mph, on public roads, at night, passing minivans, holding a camera so he can post a video online

Glad he got it over with on a closed road, without taking out someone's family

it was a true statement. The way this guy was driving on the street it was only a matter of time before he caused the death of an innocent bystander.

I would have preferred that he matured to the point where he stopped putting other people at risk.
My 16 year old daughter drives on public streets in Southern California, as does my wife. I really don't want some douche racing around at crazy speeds making ridiculously dangerous maneuvers on the same streets as my family.

This one was particularly interesting regarding this guy:

@Justsin Green:
You have no idea. I (and several others in the bay area) have worked to try and help people he’s conned track him down. He used my high-tech companies as ‘his’ story. I found this out when I got a call from Vegas, where he was trying a con.That clown left a wake of other people’s money where he went – talk to stanford european – where that douche crashed a ruf turbo r (the only one in the country at the time) driving like an idoit on city streets. I was in the car, I know. He skipped town, leaving them with a high five figure bill. Check the court records, ass wipe. Give some of the hospitals in the bay area a call, where he bragged he left six figure bills unpaid from another accident. Try the guy in so cal he tried to con for six figures to buy ‘race horses’ – that dude is still lokking for him. How about the diablo that he had to keep hidden in a storage rental, since it was never paid for – conned from a guy in so cal. Call the cadillac dealer he scammed out of an escalade. The stories like this are myriad. No more of a loss than if Ahmadinejad took a cruise missile to the head.
Or this one:

@Justin Green

A lapsed patent or two that made nothing, I could care less. Show me ONE company he had any major return from. There are none. The only ‘company’ he had in the bay area was a cheesy two (sometimes three) man electrician operation. Might want to check the BBB complaints on that one for a laugh.
This clown showed up one day with a journal article, climing he’d discovered a new species of insect. (It was discovered by a djordjevic, just not him).

Yes, I’m sure you just checked the court archives at near midnight on a sunday.

If you really live in his last hideout ‘hood” (vegas), as you claim, go have a chat with johnny brenden, he’ll give you an earful. Or go have a chat with the head of security at Wynn – he’ll fill you in – a big laugh we used to get is when this douche went around telling people he’d ‘taken over the engineering for wynn’ and ‘got a floor of the hotel’ as a reward. The dude was a prototypical, out of touch with reality, con man.

Those that *really* knew him know exactly what he was made of.
Another guy:

I know first hand he was a con man considering he conned me out of $27,600 and then disappeared. There is no denying he was a con man. Say what you want to say but that’s the hard facts.

david peters said on June 28th, 2010 at 4:11 am
I am sure his fiance is heartbroken and I feel bad for people that will miss him. But Alex was a con man without boundaries. He ripped off cars, money, identities, addresses and other people’s lives. He lived a lie and talked a lie. He still has cars stashed away and hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to people he duped-and he was in hiding. He lied about his past, his present and –well there is no more future. Just a path of destruction he left for a lot of people. Want some of the lies public? Where to start. I am sure the fiance had no clue. This news will be met with lots of hostility toward Alex because he was a total scam. Sounds like you just got the good part of a really sick guy. He was a grifter, scammer and total con artist.
I think I ought to add to the above comment that this is my personal opinion based upon my own observation, personal experience, face to face conversation in my house with Alex and the people he ripped off and experiences of trying to find the guy and where he was hiding out other people’s cars pretending he was the owner. I don’t want you to think I am sour grapes or anything but I know what I am talking about. He forged documents (titles) and tried to sell other people’s cars as his own collection. Like some of the ones on the you tube videos. Shameful. Did I mention the ‘business ventures’ where he con’d your money and there was NOTHING at the other end except his dust heading out of town? Saw it for myself.

whateva said on June 28th, 2010 at 6:03 am
As another person ripped off by Alex for 1000s of dollars, hes a con artist no doubt about it. I saw him steal cars from his other “friends” too pretty much. it goes on and on, I am not about kicking a dude when hes gone, but all the people that think hes a saint are seriously dilussional, you people never knew the real Alex, just some guy you bull****ted with for a few minutes at a car show/race/online or whatever it may be.

Ask yourselves if this guy ran off with your money would you still be thinking the way you do? I think not.
