For anyone who has had any interaction with this group, please post on a new victim support website:

http://edlamontandgingerale.blogspot.com

We are dedicating the website to those who may be inside the "band". These people need to see that family members and friends are there for them and still care. Maybe the people on the inside will see the volume of people affected and maybe start to realize that they need to think for themselves.

Please encourage anyone you know that has had interaction to share their experience. Thank you!

Midnight is Heather Youngblood. Ed has done some nasty brainwashing on these people and he has them thinking they will win a Grammy. I heard the music--it's not all that great.

There has been a Gingerale sighting in Las Vegas. A girl named "Midnight" approached a guy who email me and was asked to buy a CD. Midnight later told him that she has to sell $300 worth of CDs a night and look for investors in the band. The guy who emailed me told me he was concerned because she followed a guy named Ed and she seemed like she was part of a cult. Anyway, they are still out there and even people who had no ties to the whole bigsmar thing are taking notice to Ed's ways.

I cannot believe that people are still following him! I actually had contact with Ed about a year ago. I asked him to train my sales force.....He told me I should do it and that he was too busy with his band. He told me that I would hear them on the radio that summer (2003).

I really have nothing against Ed. Yes he scammed people, but we (me included) followed him - ignoring what other people were saying. He was good, but we should have listened to our loved ones when he told us not too.

The lie he tells is really good. "Ignore what other people say", "I teach success principles they don't teach you in school..", his lies were so circular that you were trapped inside them. If we only would have listened to the people that really cared about us.

Ed and his downline took to each other like family because they have to foster the "care". They are all in now so deep now (from faking it those years), that they can't fake it anymore and are stuck with each other. What are they going to do? Break away from each other and admit they wasted the last five years? - hardly.

I wish they would read this and contact me. I haven't forgotten the wonderful people I had met and "worked" with - and would hire anyone of them in my company. I was only in for a bit, but would love to sit and have a chat with them to see where they are at mentally.

You may feel free to contact me (Former Paramount of Pittsburgh and Dot Com of Monroeville) - sgrimm@smssi.com

Hi!! email me to talk about Ed and all of that nonsense---kim

Oh my goodness!! It is so ggod to find some people willing to talk about this personal hell-I have been all over the web and have found mostly message baoards for Amway but I so needed to talk with people associated with Ed and the Pittsburgh crew. Occasionaly I have spoken with Debbie and last I heard from her was last year about Gingerale-what??? I can't believe the level that people have sunken to-what is this the Partridge Family?? I can just see Beth and Kari up there playing the tambourines or marracas or some stupid crap. Honestly, I hope they have gotten some sense about them and finally walked-let me know please-I'm very curious about all of this-maybe we can set up a live chat to air our frustrations! If anyone wants to personally email me please do so--danyandkimh@aol.com

Ed is alive and well in Las Vegas. Lying, cheating and scamming anyone possible. His group is a cult. They will do whatever he tells them. They can not communicate with family and are not allowed to get very much sleep. There is now a baby in the group. They are still trying to get investors for their band "Gingerale". If you invest you are promised big financial returns. Of course, no one in the group has ever had formal lessons for playing instruments.
