BT's Studio Robbed?

This was taken from the btmusic forum...I don't believe it! How do you steal from a mastermind?!

Oh and I hear he is in a big lawsuit where someone is suing him for 10 million dollars? Link

Wow, I really hope it all ends well!

yeah, saw this earlier today, but seems like it could be a hoax. no official statement on BT's site or his myspace. this is what one of our members had to say:

quote:

The claim is that BT said he was offering "$20,000 US Dollars" , but then said the equipment was valued at "150k dollars." I'm sorry, but you just used a US dollar symbol. Why did you forget it the second time? And if this WAS published, it should have been proofed by the editors, who would have flagged this. It makes BT look bad... Also, it says "...project that serves the community in two ways: 1. .." Ok, that's fine, but what happened to point #2? Now, this "kevin" guy says it was in Keyboard Magazine, yet he offers no proof...no scan of it. Other things that don'tt make sense: + The local media would've gotten a hold of this and plastered it all over the 'net. + If I was BT, I would have had better security the second time around, change location, or whatnot. + Why was this posted by "kevin" and not BT himself, or a spokesperson? Why is it not on his official MySpace page? Social networking sites spread news like wildfire. The more people know, the better the chance (possibly) of recovering a part or all that was lost. + The BT and M-Audio logos are posted without copyright or registered trademark "marks". No company I know of would ever do that. Further, he doesn't even mention in the release that M-Audio is helping our or providing goodies or discounts to anybody with information. So what's in it for M-Audio? + Why list the items with numbers, rather than bullets? Again, a professional issue. + "I would like to formally initiate a community project in this FORUM.." OK, now I call BS. There's no reason to put THAT in a press release in a magazine. You would say something like "on my official forum at www.btmusic.com. "

but that $10 million lawsuit is definitely real.

Yea could def be a hoax, its a sticky on btmusic forums though

a sticky? where? i only see this but it's been locked.

next forum down link

ic... damn...

There's an ongoing thread in the Music Discussion forum too.

Would really suck if it's true and happened to him again. =/

i think it's official? i got a myspace bulletin from him earlier today...

scrn shot:

didn't he get robbed once before?

Seems like he has the serial numbers to all of his equipment... in other words its all insured.

And the live set and other productions on the mac pro and the hard drives? May this be a lesson to backup your work and actually keep it at a different site maybe even a safe box... not only theft you have to worry about as an artist but fires and natural disasters.

Either way its a bad situation.

It's 100% real...BT E-mailed me about this back in late January.

Who is that member? He's a big douche Mr. "Internet conspiracy theorist" over there.

Yeah about 5 or so yrs ago right before he was to play at SPUNDAE's NYE event.

he did make some valid points. besides, he didn't have BT emailing him to confirm and stuff.

it sucks but it's a rather simple reality: people know he has tens of thousands of dollars in equipment and music sitting unprotected in his house, which is probably empty for months at a time when he's on the road touring. as long as they can keep getting away with it like they do, it's gonna keep happening. poor guy needs to invest in a security door for his studio and adt.

wow - when i saw this thread i assumed someone was bumping an old thread from the last time he got robbed! man I can't believe having to deal with that once not to mention twice!

Brinks (just check out their BBB rating against adt sometime)! A pack of wild ravenous dogs doesn't hurt either, but make sure motion detector is off...

This is very sad for BT poor guy has pure bad luck. Lets hope that someone comes around and helps him get some of that valuable stuff back that $ cant buy.

lol Because he was using different formats you moron! $20 vs. 20k
that's the worst proof ever.

i think he meant "150k US dollars". doesn't matter, he's wrong.

now let's focus our energy on getting BT's gear back.

i just saw a full page ad of this in the latest issue of keyboard magazine...(march 07)

Nice interview. Thanks for the link. Man, I really hope he tracks that shit down. So heart-breaking to have so much of your passion stolen away like that. =/
