Exclamation Cp kustoms-- warning

This is a warning about CP KUSTOMS custom bike builders and its owner Chuck Palumbo.
I'm not a great writer but please read this all, its important.
I've found one guy who posted on a forum that one bike that the WWE tried to claim was built by Palumbo was a bike built by this other individual and on another forum a girl states "This man is a rapist". I'm not sure about either of their claims, just about what I'm going to say now. Its about time we stand up and say ENOUGH! You can no longer play with human beings and destroy lives.
I'm writing this as a warning and a wake up call to all those Chuck Palumbo fans out there. My Aunt knew this man years ago back in his early career and a few months ago they reconnected. He manipulated her to get her to do things to benefit him; e.g. getting promotions advice, she was a promoter, for his bike business and building him a custom page plus connecting him to contacts, like the lead singer of Anna's Brother (myspace.com/revision6) who was an old friend of hers for more than half her life and he was willing to do a concert to promote CP Kustoms in exchange for Palumbo hooking him up to the people in charge of the wrestlers entrance themes- she did this all for free because she trusted him. Now before you guys high five because he is THE MAN!! Palumbo knew from the moment he reconnected with my Aunt that she was very sick with Refrectory Sprue and T cell Lymphoma. She was still recouperating from losing a large chunk of her GI track. He kept pushing that she could trust him and how he cared, the whole time manipulating her to give up things she cared about- like her website helping others with her disease.
Finally they got close enough she told him about an abusive situation she was at the mercy of. He promised her he wouldn't walk away. He showed how "tough" he really was by ignoring her calls and messages after that and just blowing her off without a word. He used her for everything he could get and then when it got tough he walked away without second thought. He knew my Aunt was very sick and is lucky if she has a couple years left to live her life and he caused her more pain then most people could imagine.
This is not a joke or a gimmick. After he ran away rather than stand up like a man, my aunt couldn't forget the feelings she felt for him because to her it wasn't just lines. June 3rd my Aunt tried to commit suicide in a hotel room in a town where they had talked about seeing each other before he turned and treated her like nothing. She spent a week in ICU. This could have all been avoided because before she tried to take her own life both her friends and I tried to contact him just to talk to her and leave things on a decent basis but this guy ignored us. He didn't care about how dumb she felt in trusting him, the shame she felt into buying into all his manipulation, or how deeply he hurt her by just turning his back when he promised her he wouldn't. My opinion is that once he couldn't use her for his own benefit anymore and he'd actually have to put something into the friendship, not just taking, the guy couldn't care less if she were alive or in the cemetery. The truly sickening part is that Palumbo was the only one on the planet she completely confided in about how bad things were, how scared she was, how confused she was, that she didn't know what to do and even that she was thinking about suicide so she was getting all her things in order and telling people what they meant to her. He KNEW she was crumbling emotionally and rather than stand by her like he promised he would or even help her find help, the decision he made was to turn his back like her life meant nothing and leave her literally hanging. This was not some gimmick but a life in the balance. .
When exactly did it become acceptable in society to be morally corrupt, self absorbed and have zero compassion for other human beings? It seems those qualities are the norm in Palumbo's world.
Someone was quoted as saying this statement about Palumbo " He cannot see beyond his own needs or wants. Human life doesn't matter to him beyond his own." It's funny but in my opinion I couldn't have said better words when it came to Palumbo.
I have no reason to tell you about this except I don't want to see anyone else get hurt. I have no reason to lie and I have nothing to gain in all this. The only person in all this who has anything to lose with this truth being exposed is Palumbo- and he knows this is all TRUE.He knows its true and that's all that matters. My Aunt still cares about him and it destroys her to see what he has become because back in the early days she talks about what a special and good guy he was but like so many in that industry its destroyed anything decent.
When my Aunt asked Palumbo what his bad habits were. Well lets just say it wasn't smoking or alcohol. In his words "You know how it is in wrestling!" When my Aunt told Palumbo the person hurting her was just as big as he was Palumbo replied "Are they on steroids?" In my opinion that tells me that he is on roids, to be that big and he believes to be his size you have to be. What can you expect though from a guy who counts Scott Steiner and Steve Austin as buddies? Wasn't Steiner arrested a few years back for trying to run over a cop in a roid rage? Didn't Ausin lose the line between gimmick and ring when he beat up his ex wife Deborah? These are hero's?
In my opinion this guy, Palumbo, has a high school mentality. It seems its all about the popularity click for him. My Aunt, as she got stronger and started to talk more, said how he would name drop about Fred Curry from Cinderella being his best friend and how Sammy Hagar was burned out by cocaine. Palumbo's opinion would change about things or people depending on what was popular with his buddies. He'd cut up custom bike builder Billy Lane to everyone saying he deserved to rot in prison for what he did in killing a person in a drunk driving accident- my Aunt never even knew about Lane's accident until Palumbo told her. Then when one of his buddies hooked him up to visit Lane all of a sudden he was bragging Lane was his buddy. When my Aunt reached out to Lane, who she knew and hated, from the past to make amends to him, Palumbo called her selfish. In reality she was trying to protect Palumbo from getting involved in Lane's bad karma because she really genuinely cared about Palumbo. Her being selfish, that's a laugh coming from a guy who knew how badly my Aunt was hurting and decided her life wasn't worth caring about. I could see why these 2, Lane and Palumbo, would be kindred spirits. I mean Lane purposely bragged he was a drunk even on biker build off and he was an accident waiting to happen for years. Of course these 2 would click because it seems, in my opinion, they both think they are so above others that destroying a human life is just an inconvenience to them. They are the victims and the rest of us are just peons in their destiny. No remorse, no concern, and thinking money means more than a life. I'm sure Lane's victims family will much rather have his money at the family gatherings than their loved one. Sarcasm obviously!!
Palumbo seems to make decisions based on what his buddies tell him to think, especially a guy named Chavo. I guess he was told what to think concerning my Aunt too because she told me that when she informed him how she was being hurt he was visiting his sister and he was completely steady and standing by her like a true friend would be and told her "You don't have to worry about me walking away, I just need time to think about the legal aspects", but the next time they talked 2 days later he was telling her to purposely become homeless and go live on the streets even though he knew how sick she was, and then he just turned his back on her completely without the respect any human being deserves or even a word to her; just cutting all contact off. I think he was actually trying to see if she would be stupid enough to do exactly what he wanted yet again. My Aunt is no dummy, she just trusts in human goodness and when she makes a friend its all the way, not just in the good times or if it benefits her. She did so much for Paumbo and he did absolutely nothing for her except feed her BS lines!!
No one deserves to be treated the way my Aunt was. No one has that right! In my Aunt's words " How do I get past caring for someone in ways I never felt possible? How do I get past believing in another human being with everything inside me? How do I get past trusting someone with all my secrets? How do I get past knowing that in return my life meant nothing to them and I was nothing but a fool believing in everything they said?" You'd think this man would give a crap about what he has done to another human being but he is right back on his myspace page as if she were nothing( www.myspace.com/customchuckyp .... yes that is really him ) in my opinion, trolling for even more woman he could use to benefit himself without, it seems, a care for anyone. If I could give him one piece of advice it would be for him to walk away and distance himself from his so called "buddies", go home to Rhode Island and take a look at his life. Then maybe he could realize the extent of what has done, how my Aunt never did anything but care for him/ trust him/ need him, and maybe find the decent guy my Aunt adored so many years ago.
This is not slander or defamation because everything I've said here is completely true and Palumbo knows it. I've done nothing but tell the truth and if this saves someone else from being destroyed or makes Palumbo take a look at what he is doing in this life, than that's all anyone can ask for at this point.
Its time we hold these people accountable for people like my Aunt. Its up to you if you buy Palumbo's bikes but would you really want a bike from a guy who has only built about 6, cares nothing about other people and admits he uses drugs? In my opinion its time we all stand up and fight for human compassion and decency telling this guy that his behavior will not be accepted because this is not high school. Besides, in my opinion his bikes are just ripped off designs from other builders. Think about this, what if it had been your family member and someone you loved treated like this? This guy has ZERO biker honor and, in my opinion, so wrapped up in looking like he is cool he lets all his buddies make up his mind for him and has zero concern for who he uses then destroys.

Hey Rob

That's a very heavy story.. I don't believe I read the whole thing..

Now--- if it is all true with, no or little exageration, then this guy is not my kinda bud----- but we have no way of knowing that except your word..
AND factually based credibility is all we try to cultivate on this site..

However, now that I've read the story I will, at the very least, watch my back a wee bit more if I ever meet this guy..

Like frisco said, we have nothing but your written word here to go on. However..after only reading about 1/3'rd of what you've written I said "drugs" to myself. I won't go into a long story here..but I can tell you first hand (backed by thousands of others) that people who get hooked on "drugs" are NOT the same people you used to know...alcohol,uppers,downers,roids,you name it...no difference.

Without a doubt,it's "disease"...and the symptoms etc are virtually identical from one user to the next..."playing" (manipulating) anyone & everyone they can into "enabling" them to "keep on keeping on" at YOUR/OUR expense...and having no time to waste on remorse, as they go about seeking more & more "enablers" to replace the ones who either "wise-up" or "burn-out"

It's a heartbreaking thing...I know!! Because they're not even about to seek help 'til THEY "hit bottom"...and,even then, once the "crisis" is over,they're most likely to "relapse" and go back to exactly what they'd been doing. If what you're telling us is true (which I'm not rebuffing) you need to get your Aunt (not him) to an Alanon OR Narnon group (not some shrink) along with others like herself who've been where she's at and UNDERSTAND these things. It won't change anything (directly) but at least she'd be assured that she's NOT alone in this..and learn how to deal with it,while getting her own head back on straight...and,it's not like some A.A. thing...no preaching etc...just the facts...

For others reading this...if you're in a situation like this OR know someone who is...either do as I say...or not...your call...I'm not gonna be pushing anyone OR repeating myself,here...'nuff said !!!

I understand what your saying. I know you only have my word but if you want to look into it its not hard- Palumbo is also a wrestler with the WWE and been off the TV tapings and partially suspended since early June when the WWE found out about the situation.He is supposedly allowed back onto the tv tapings in September He builds bikes out of his San Diego home and had a bike featured in the April issue of this mag- something he brags about to everyone and it was the first bike he built.
Karma is a mf-er, I agree, and I'm looking forward to him getting his in the name of my Auntie Bridget.
Cheers
Rob
