I for one have never heard of your version used before:
"Pot Coloring The Kettle Black"
Coloring????????
I have heard of a CM Carbonaceous Chondrite calling fusion crust black
though.
Awesome mixaphor though

Thank you for mentioning that, as it was going to be my next reply.
I am truly saddened by your actions over the last several years. It is too
bad that whatever has afflicted you has overtaken all sensibilities within
you. Whatever it is, it is too bad you let it take my brother from me! I
suggest you seek professional help, quickly!
Farewell dear brother, or whoever is in control of Adam's keyboard...

Dude,
I already told you and your lawyer the truth and your 'team' has wisely
concluded pursuing and harassing me is not a good idea. Listen to the
advice of your legal 'team'!
I'm done with your confessional replies here, unless you wish to expose
yourself some more!

Yep Adam,
You just looked in the mirror and saw the 'ugly truth'! Get real,
everybody knows the truth, Everybody!!
I've taken care of you for the last 12 years you ungrateful user! I've
been your 'no money down' meteorite supplier for years until I cut you
off because of your abuse.
Go get a life and quit harassing me!!

The joke is how desperate Adam has become with his ever-changing
signature, this time, 'The Original Hupe Collection'. How pathetic! You
proclaimed your desertion of meteoritics several years ago. I suggest
you listen you yourselves and go away!!
And absolutely "Yes", the truth is starting to come out thanks to your
replies to my post about my replicas and me in general. I sold EVERY
complete slice of NWA 5000 ever placed into any collection. You have
only sold small and smaller pieces over the years.
In the meantime, you have a nice day!

Yes, Please nobody confuse me with my brother, Adam. Do not ever think
I am like that!
I bailed him out on NWA 5000 in June 2013. I have represented Adam and
his long time and current NWA 5000 partner, Jeff Kroschell, well before
I rescued the majority of the mass from being returned to the Moroccan
owners to be utterly destroyed and spread around after the hammer, not
unlike Adam is doing now with his eBay sales. A 2-year and growing
disgrace!
Even before I rescued my brother and the meteorite itself, I sold the
(at the time) the only complete slice to the benefit of Adam AND his
partner, Jeff Kroschell. During mine and Adam's NWA 5000 'partnership'
(I say that loosely) I sold other complete slices which Adam and
presumably Jeff Kroschell benefitted equally to me. Adam dropped the
ball after about 2010 and he let NWA 5000 become stagnant. Me, and my
company, Nature's Vault, Inc., represented and professionally sold NWA
5000 to some of the 'world's most influential' individuals with my hard
work and expense. In addition to my purchasing 50% of the remaining
mass in June 2013 directly from the rightfully impatient Moroccans
owners for non-payment, I was also given access to the intellectual
rights to the web site and the mold which Jeff Kroschell and Adam made
together! To this day my ungrateful and threatening brother benefits
from my directing people to HIM by my worldly efforts with NWA 5000. I
owe him nothing!!
I am very proud of all of my efforts in my NWA 5000 representation and
ethical sales! I will not be bullied by opportunists and ungrateful
users!
For the record, in ONLY the last week was I informed about NWA 10495,
and have it confirmed by Tony Irving (same one who consulted on my Yale
display), and without physical proof of Kalahari, it is still a myth
until a particular dealer thinks he can draw it out of the shadows and
sell it to the Maine Mineral Museum (Barbara in this thread).
I have not 'misrepresented' NWA 5000 in any way as the very
unprofessional, and nearly slanderous acquisitions manager has accused
me of in this thread. I will not be bullied by her or her dealer
either!
I've worked too hard for the benefit of everyone, especially a very
ungrateful ex-business partner, my estranged brother.
I suggest you all pay attention to your own business. Life is too short
to continue messing with me! I will not tolerate being slandered, used
or accused. Get over yourselves!!

Greg Hupe

I do not want to be confused with Greg on the latest round of claims
or business dealings. I operate independently.
I only claimed NWA 5000 was the largest Highlands lunar meteorite ever
found and the largest to ever be put on public display. This has
always been clearly stated on my copyrighted website which was created
long before Greg became involved and needs to be updated..
I give Kalahari 009 the benefit of the doubt on my website, although
it has never been weight certified or shown in public. The weight
remains unofficial and looks to be rounded off or guesstimated to me.
Some doubt its existence or that it is even lunar. I have never seen
it, know very little about it, don't like how it was managed and have
very little interest in it.
Link to my NWA 5000 Website:
http://themeteoritesite.com/
For the record, I created the mold and casting system for the NWA 5000
main mass and maintain all the rights; artistic, intellectual,
copyrighted and otherwise. I authorized one additional casting to be
used for promotional purposes only and not to be resold. I spent over
200 hours designing and creating a near perfect mold of the complete
NWA 5000 main mass and a procedure for producing castings without
bubbles or a noticeable seam.
I have a few questions in regards to NWA 10495:.
I do not recall seeing images of NWA 10495 which is claimed to weigh
12.120 kg. Has it been weight certified in front of witnesses and
are there any images? Is it a reassembled puzzle, many stones or as
single mass? If it does turn out to be a single largest certified
lunar mass, I will be the first to offer congratulations.
In any case, I want everybody to know that I have never misrepresented
NWA 5000 and have nothing to do with current claims or events.
My claim is that NWA 5000 is simply the best and most desirable lunar
meteorite found to date which is backed up with facts on my website.

Greg,
I had given you the benefit of doubt. Your awareness of our
acquisitions indicates your knowledge of NWA 10495, making your
misrepresentations to the list and others all the more troubling.

Welcome to the Meteorite List Barbara!
First congratulations on what has been sold to you and your museum,
I am very well aware of what you have been sold and the new Maine
Mineral Museum. I am glad you came out in public asking everyone,
including all of the Moroccan dealers, to contact you directly to
save you money on Moroccan purchases! Helps everyone and the
Moroccans make more profits!!
Each 'NWA 5000' I offer was individually painted by hand, by an
artist, therefore each one is unique and a 'One-of-a-Kind' work of
art. Plus I did much personal hand work on them! Thank you for your
interest!
I look forward to visiting your museums treasures when it opens in
the fall!! :)

Greetings to All,
While I have enjoyed reading the posts and have yet to post
anything myself, I feel compelled to make my first comment.
NWA 5000 is indeed an exquisite lunar meteorite. However, there
are bigger lunars. Kalahari 009 and NWA 10495, both exceed NWA
5000’s original mass. I’m writing now because I have been honored
to curate the main mass of NWA 10495, which weighs 12.120 kg.
Accuracy is important and it is impaired by exaggeration. While
bigger doesn’t always mean better, when extolling the virtues of
the largest lunar meteorite...size matters! Records get broken and
we have new achievements to celebrate, but it is not right to
celebrate NWA 5000 as being the largest lunar meteorite found…(and
respectfully, nor can there be at least three one-of-a-kind works
of art).
