His intention was that x amount of money would go towards buying it (for himself btw), and some of the money raised, would go to charity. Note: with the end result that 'Charity' would get some money, and the fans would have paid for him to have a McCaw worth several thousand pounds.....

Internet forums went ballistic and soon after, he took it down. There was a thread on DS about it at the time, only a few weeks back.

That gives you a measure of this man. Totally self absorbed and up his own arse.

Not sure as he was upfront about his intentions..... but to think he could get away with that, christ almighty. Shows what a complete ***** the man is. I think the correct terminology would be CONMAN / CON ARTIST

I thought it was hilarious when he suddenly removed it. Tells it's own story.

Better than that, some fans were taking the line, "if fans want to help mario get this, it's nothing to do with anyone else'

I somehow can never imagine the Manufacturer/s thinking the same way - imagine even being connected to such a scam.

Actually Pyramid the parrot was at a cost of £7800, the site he setup was a charity page on just giving, I never realsed Mario was a charity, I dont remember any apology either when he took it down or statement about refunding any money donated.
