You have GOT to be kidding me??? What a joke! Watch out, this might just mean he will soon be under yet another stolen name.

Final Note: I thoroughly enjoyed my relationship with Home Inspectors as a whole. They are a great bunch of guys and girls and fun to do business with. To all who have wished me sodomized or threatened me with physical harm and death, I hope you will forgive me.
Read: I thoroughly enjoyed taking money from businessmen starting a new venture. Insurance costs are very high, so I knew if I offered the people who are new to the game of self employment a deal that I could make a ton of money and be rich myself. Home Inspectors are a great bunch if idiots that are easy marks. To those who wished me sodomized or threatened me with physical harm and death, f#&k you.
What a putz.

Today I had the distinct pleasure to receive several e-mails from Mr. Napadow.
There are going to remain private, much to several people's chagrin... Which makes me wonder what the real motive was other than "selling newspapers" by having those exchanges posted here for all to see. This was a personal exchange between the two of us and my comments were very personal and not the viewpoint of FREA. As are all of my comments listed below...
As for the comments to be published; that will never happen as the correspondence was a personal e-mail exchange between Mr. Napadow (and I am using the term "Mr." very loosely here, as the only amount of respect he deserves is none, not even because he is my elder...).
He is a thief, liar, cheat and a steal - and he is going to pay his just due from the looks of it next month.
So all those that were defrauded out there...
the old adage "of what comes around goes around" is still alive and well.
And the USPS is finally going to bring down the hammer...
I cannot stress enough that the letter that he sent to Nick that is posted above is one of the biggest crocks of all time...
this coming from someone who defrauded 300+ inspectors...
moved to the Virgin Islands to avoid arrest and to continue his illegal ways...
And the set up a another fictious site with the actual stag from Hartford...
Whether you or any of your members are interested; this did start with very good intentions of starting an insurance company and helping the home inspector industry which I think are being taken advantage of by insurance companies.
In theory it could have been great and I honestly would have welcomed it...
the only problem is that he left out getting appointed by a carrier...
or any carrier for that matter to offer a "real" policy...
as for being taken advantage of...
what a hypocritical statement for someone who just spent the last 16 months taking Home Inspectors hard earned monies and lining his pockets with it and buying Mai-Tais in the Virgin Islands...
and not producing one legitimate policy...
whose kidding who???
I also know that the program that I came up with called "Pay-As-You-Go" is viable and would have helped many inspectors start in the business or the part-timers stay in the business.
This would be great if a carrier could actually make money doing it...
they have run the numbers and pay as you go does not work, has not worked, and will not work...
I have also refunded certain premiums to clients that were having a hard time.
Let's say you actually refunded everyone - say at $2,000.00 at 330 home inspectors (and that is an old number) we are talking about $660,000.00
and the Virgin Islands is pretty expensive... So it will be impressive to see you come up with that money... As there are a lot of individuals that are NACHI members that are really ALL having a "hard time". As getting swindle is considered by most (other than you) a hard time.
Final Note: I thoroughly enjoyed my relationship with Home Inspectors as a whole. They are a great bunch of guys and girls and fun to do business with. To all who have wished me sodomized or threatened me with physical harm and death, I hope you will forgive me.
Wow again... what a profound statement - I thoroughly enjoyed my relationship with HI's and taking your money. And fun to do business with - I really enjoyed all of your death threats, your attempted threats of coming down and "taking" care of me... the threat of shooting me and my retort of "come one down, I've got a gun too and I'll shoot you and if I have too... shoot myself" --- what a pity you didn't actually do it...
I am not bitter over the fact you actually are still alive...
No...
it will be nice to know that you are suffering in a cell, after taking so many people's hard earned monies...
I wish everyone all the best in their efforts to regain any monies from Napadow...
As I stated earlier, these comments are my own and not of FREA's.
have a great Holidays everyone.
Sincerely,
Chris Butler

Nice, sweet letter from an alleged crook that knows if he shows remorse he can get a lighter sentence.
As if he cared about new inspectors. All he cares about is himself. Have fun when they de-louse you Napadow.
