Did anyone else notice http://www.run4peace.co.uk is down. The whole website is gone. Something didn't go according to plan there… ;-)

I think perhaps they've just taken it down because the event is over. I just had a look at the event's Facebook page and it looks like it went ahead. There are photos. I am a bit surprised - I thought it may be cancelled due to lack of numbers.
Thanks for the update. Does he have any published plans to compete in a future race? He had talked about a six day I believe.

Yes. His website lists the Spine. Which is Jan. Costs a fortune. Entry costs hundreds, plus hundreds to buy all the gear. Probably looking at at least 2 grand British pounds. Wonder who's funding all THAT!?
And says doing a 6 day American race, yes.

As far as I can tell there have been no updates to his website recently. He is not listed on the Spine entry list and I can't tell if he's made any updates to his Facebook page as I think he has done something weird so that I can see certain things and not others. There have been no tweets since his response to the Skins report on 2nd October.
Everyone's been looking for the wrong person, he's changed his name to Ribert.
He'll be back. Con artists never stop their desperation. His other conning activities failed in comparison to where running got him. He knows his fake charity money laundering run scam is his best hope to make a living.

Yes, i think you're right. I'm in the uk so will keep my beady eye out for him turning up at races.
Adam Holland seems unscathed by his support of him and is still doing races
Run 4 Peace's website is back up, but no mention of Ribbert. Not sure if it was their decision or his but I'm glad he didn't drag yet another charity down into the mud along side him.
Our boy Robert will be back next year...running so many miles!...he is gifted and has so much potential....we support you RY
Well the run4peace fundraising was far from a success, perhaps other charities will steer clear of a certain well known con man to front their campaigns

I hope Ribbert starts competing again next year. This kind of feels like my favorite television show has just wrapped up season 1 and now the network is considering whether or not to renew it for Season 2.
Come on Ribbert - run a multi-day event. You have got fan-boys and girls waiting in the wings ready to jump back on the bandwagon and some of them say the funniest stuff.
it's all just great drama and to be honest you have left me lost without my daily RY cheating fix.....please come back.....please?? We promise to be nice this time......

Yeh, i miss those heady summer days catching up with this thread every night, in fact i think i'll go back to the start and re read it!
I will watch out for him entering any uk races
Not sure if this has been posted but it appears the SKINS employee Michael Speicher no longer works there and hasn't since September which would have been right around when the report went public and the fallout heated up. Funny how quickly he was able to find another employer to hire him but I guess integrity isn't a requirement for most jobs these days. His LinkedIn page says he has been working for Generation Media since October.
Speicher gone? About time.
Asher, Team Geezer, and letsrun should get whistleblower of the year award.

He posted a brand new facebook cover photo yesterday and immediately 220 people liked it, so he still has lots of support. Baffling.
