Never assume anything. Maps #1-10 are gone. Maps #28 &#29 were ‘gifted’ by me to Artful and Dante. What that means is that I shall be paying the money into the charity selected for them regardless whether they return the maps to Matt Busch or not.

Maps #30 & #31 are also spoken for. To date, I have had a number of inquiries outside of the USA requesting a sale. Regarding that, I am keeping a list of those individuals in case I decide at a later date to re-contact those involved and offer/complete a sale.

Found that here/ http://www.aboutheroes.com/?p=12678#comment-3098

Seems pretty odd that he would have sold maps 1-10 and then skipped to numbers 28-31. As much as Rick lies, you’d think he would get at least a little better at it by now.

Rick Olney: I had earlier offered up a copy of the Richie Johnston inspired Bleeding Cool magazine offered by Diamond in Previews here to anyone contacting me back then regarding the free offer. Let me just say that I have now decided to RETRACT that offer, BUT — I shall send out a gifted (at my personal expense) Commemorative Indiana Jones Limited Edition Map, signed and numbered by artist, Matt Busch to those persons that contacted me back at that offer period.

Fair enough? Trading a (probably) yellow slacking ‘mag’ for a limited edition collectable?

ORCA Member: wow hope i qualified for that map

Rick Olney: I believe that you did, Carl. Although be prepared to possibly be contacted by some person (perhaps a troll?) telling you that you should send the map back to Matt Busch. That appears to be what certain people that feel they know ALL the story between Matt Busch and myself are suggesting. Actually, the maps were gifted from Matt Busch to me for the purposes of selling the maps to benefit a charity benefiting American service men and women that were disabled through their time in the military during the last several wars.

I’ll have a blog post on this matter in the next few days after I’ve met with my attorney. I’m not breaking any laws in either selling or ‘gifting’ the maps to you or anyone. My intention is to obviously pay the cost of these maps (which was never set in stone, so to say, by Matt Busch to me…leaving THAT factor to selling the maps all mine legally. Officially, the official Disabled American Veteran’s organization has already opted out of wanting anything to do with any proceeds financially from this endeavor to both Matt Busch and myself via email. Sooooo… that now leaves the matter of WHICH charity will be the RECEIVING charity on me. Again, it was and IS an endeavor that was born out of two people wanting to do a good deed.

If, after you read this you prefer to NOT have a map simply let me know. I can probably substitute something else in its place. Thank you.

If I am correct Rick contradicts himself here. In the past he has stated he never heard directly from DAV and only saw a message in a post. Here he is saying that he got an email from them.

Matt Busch wrote me on Twitter with this reply when I asked if he had any new comments on Rick and the maps. “yeah, tell Ric that he’s a liar and a thief. Please return the maps so a new charity can be put in place.”

Oh and at the 52 minute mark, Jeff Hartz admits to being Artful Angie and goes after Rick with a vengeance. Link here: http://www.aboutheroes.com/?p=12678

All of these maps could have been sold @ full price and already donated to charity months ago, if Olney had just done the right thing and returned them. There’s your big honorable ex-Marine for you.
