-  Kinomatika is a liar, a scammer, and a thief
-  ------------------------------------------------------

This document outlines irrefutable evidence that "Kinomatika" or "Kino" the creator of the webcomic "Blackgrass" is the career scammer previously known as "Paiseley". Their birth name is "Michelle Koralewski". They have made efforts to hide this to avoid revealing their past. They might have a new last name: "Michelle Reynoso".

"Paiseley" was a furry artist scammer whose MO was to rake in hundreds of dollars for commissions, then disappear. Then they would reappear with a new name with slightly different art, and do it again. They had all of their FurAffinity accounts banned with this message:

    "This user was banned because they scammed multiple users, made no attempts to reconcile with them, and created new accounts, presumably to continue the cycle. -FurAffinity Staff"

I have known this was them for years, but I believed that they were trying to turn over a new leaf and I chose not to out them. I moved on with my life and I forgot about them. But I see they are still up to their old tricks. Lying and abusing the good will of their fanbase. Faking emergencies. Begging for donations while spending frivolously. Deleting the evidence that the faking and begging ever happened. All of that is only the surface of what we can see them doing. And they still owe THOUSANDS of dollars for dodged commissions. Not even I know the full extent of their scamming.

Because of this, I have chosen to expose them. It feels wrong to keep the knowledge of who they are to myself while they continue to take advantage of people. I am sorry it took me this long.

I will not reveal personal knowledge I have of them. That would be illegal. But I do not have to, they were not careful enough. Below is a list of publicly available sources from blog posts, forums, and profiles, all written by Michelle that confirm that the real name and birthdate are the same for "Paiseley" and "Kinomatika". There is only one piece of evidence that takes some work to verify
for yourself. That is the link between their username "Kinomatika" and their real name "Michelle Koralewski". There is a direct source written by Michelle, but it is from the 2015 Patreon data leak. It is the internal information that Patreon has for the "blackgrass" Patreon account. That evidence data from the leak is included at the end of this document. If you do not trust it, you can go and find and download the leak and check yourself.
