Barnum<\/a> &#8220;who was remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well at least now we know why she outed Todd Black &#8211; he was a direct competitor to her and she was probably jealous he had inserted himself directly into her dream case.<\/p>\n<p>It would really be interesting to know what her financial arrangement is with Internet News Network, LLC the owner of ScaredMonkeys.com (psyche &#8211; no PR Google backlinks for that site).<\/p>\n<p>But back to Internet News Network and the entity who so gratuitously set up Blink&#8217;s solo site after apparently luring her away from WebSleuths.com.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scared Monkeys Welcomes Blink34 &amp; True Crime Blog \u2026 Blink on Crime to Family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So basically, Ms. Stoy is just another Merchant in Misery who profits off of other people&#8217;s misfortune; a real life Crime Profiteer if you will.<\/p>\n<p>But to profit, she must create stories where there are none; so as to hype her site, which I assume Internet News Network pays her to maintain. I mean, it costs me a total of $100 a year to maintain both of my sites ad free (my hosting company is Arvixe &#8211; a really great web hosting company by the way).<\/p>\n<p>So this explains the obnoxious advertisements everywhere on all those affiliated sites and the stat checkers at the bottom of all their hideously designed sites. (I mean crikey, haven&#8217;t you mentally challenged people over at Internet News Network heard of Google Analytics?)<\/p>\n<p>So basically, ScaredMonkeys, Blink, and Co. are nothing more than ad based Merchants in Misery. The more visitors they draw the more ad revenue they get I presume. And Blink with her over-hyped and sensational stories must have been the main reason Internet News Network lured her over to ScaredMonkeys from WebSleuths in the first place &#8211; to drum up business. (WebSleuths is a much better forum, more well intentioned, and much better off without her I must say.)<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: I was informed by credible sources that Blink actually got the Boot from WebSleuths because of her sensational and inflammatory postings. Blink, Blink, got flushed down the sink&#8230; LOL!<\/p>\n<p>But I must go now, \u00a0and dig up some more dirt; and I will have more&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>For now though, this post will just be a work in progress where I will think out loud about Blink, very loud.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m coming Ms. Stoy, I am coming&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But first Baez&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it possible that Shannon Stoy and Blink on Crime are the same person and she is profiting off of other people&#8217;s misery?
