Post: RE: Where's Khatzumoto?

It is disappointing to hear that people have had difficulty getting refunds. More so in light of the fact that I got an email today promoting the upcoming opening of the Silverspoon program to new st...

I have also been getting a few emails from him recently for the Silverspoon program as well.  I don't remember seeing anything about the "fo'shizzle" guarantee in them, howver, but perhaps I would nee...

Post: RE: Where's Khatzumoto?

Interestingly, I just got in my email this morning a solicitation from Khatz for a new round of Neutrino that is accepting applicants. Maybe he has them set up in an auto-mailer to go out periodically...

Post: Where's Khatzumoto?

I'd hope (and would like to think) that Khatz is still out there behind the scenes keeping the programs that he sold running for the people who purchased them, through the remaining term of the purcha...

I think that was the problem with Khatz's business model, such as it was.. the longer-term programs were incredibly expensive (as a poster above noted), and there was a lot of obfustication about who ...

Post: Where's Khatzumoto?

I definitely don't want to pry into Khatz's personal life. Not that I could much, even if I wanted to, since I only know of him as Khatzumoto, and only have the scarcest idea of him beyond his AJATT p...

If you can find PS3 60 gb model CECHA, this plays both PS2 and PS3 games. I think Sony made the first couple of generations of the PS3 backwards compatible, then stopped. For PS2, it plays Japanese ...

Hm, I might be the only one here who signed up for Khatz's new service. I did get a discounted price from him for the first year ($65). I don't necessarily know that I will keep it beyond that tim...
