(above): Here it appears that the Melendez DNA performed a split and the one became two In my opinion the most logical explanation for these multiple persons can be found via court records. Melendez filed for bankruptcy on November 18, 2015. An anonymous tip to the bankruptcy trustee led to the conclusion that Melendez was in fact Seph Lawless (8). Melendez had not reported any of the earnings from the sale of his “as many as ten books”. The trustee concluded that this may have been fraud. By maintaining that Joe Melendez was in fact a manager, curator, actor, etc. and not the real name of Seph Lawless, income from the sale of Lawless’ books couldn’t be tied to him. This theory is backed up in a lawsuit filed by Melendez on February 9, 2016 against Mr. Murray. Melendez listed his address under his attorney’s mailing address. The court document reads, “It is believed that Melendez’ intent may have been to hide his true address and identity so as not to be discovered by the United states Bankruptcy Trustee” (9). Melendez would later withdraw the bankruptcy application. Throughout the course of the several weeks I spent perusing the online content, I found myself growing increasingly upset. Several people had now been targeted through malicious blogs and postings for having committed no crime other than to question Melendez’ authenticity. The nature of the attacks was quite personal and crude. The Urbex Memester King of All Urbex When online opinions of Mr. Lawless began to shift away from his favour, a Facebook group appeared under the name of “The Urbex Memester King of all Urbex”. Similar to the blogs, people who showed any contradictory opinions of Mr. Lawless were targeted.
