Here is a link to the documents I have collected on Timmis to date - they include blog posts, resumes, etc going back to 2005 bit.ly/TimmisHistoryIf you look through his resume, Harold does not have the work history or skill set to support his claims. Not being judgmental, he never should have been hired as head engineer, he was set up for failure from the beginning - That being said, he chose to stay and went along with the sham. Harold knowingly and willingly conspired and colluded with Dimitri Albino as part of the smARtPULSE submission to enGadget in 03/2013. smARtPULSE a pulse oximeter was allegedly an original invention by Dimitri Albino, Harold Timmis and Rafael Iannello (I was able to locate the actual flyer for the true owners of SmartPulse, a company named SeQual from 02/27/2009) Additional information provided to me in December 2013 by a former coworker of Timmis and Albino include: 1.) Timmis was paid 70k for the year of 2013, in December of 2013 Albino told Timmis via a telephone call that he was reducing his salary 2.) The smARtMAKER campaign on Kickstarter was never fulfilled as the boards were never designed; Timmis was brought in January 2013 to create these boards but lacked the skill set to make them viable - Which led to the hiring of Charles "Chuck" Bentley 3.) Timmis calls himself a teacher and educator yet did not ever finish his degree, this was discovered when an alumni outreach representative visited the smARtMAKER Co-lab offices and Harold had to disclose that he was not in fact an alumni

I read on the comments this morning that another route to make Timmis accountable is for supporters in and near Florida to take Timmis to the small claims courts. How or if this works I wouldn't know, but it could be another option.

Death by a 1000 paper cuts - crude but effective. Harold would accrue a horrendous legal bill trying to defend himself.

I can't believe all this is going to end well for Timmis. possible small claims court cases and the Florida General Attorney investigating, doubts over qualifications and work history, Definite questions about his ability to solder, repeated claims of intent that are never delivered upon, Statements of progress which turn out to be bald lies, An employer whose empire seems to be shrinking, The inability to deliver a working Arduino Sheild within 1 year, A work rate that would put any self respecting electronics enthusiast to shame, and Refusing to communicate with his supporters, (one of his own golden rules).
While some may defend and make excuses for Timmis (first child, new home, etc) in an attempt to shift more blame on Albino, Timmis is still responsible for failing to deliver on what were solely his responsibilities , i.e. the design and testing of the shield, and the lessons.
This campaign appears to have been setup in an interesting way, all the money raised goes to Albino in China, Albino pays Timmis a salary, which means Timmis doesn't get any money directly from the campaign thus avoiding liability. All Timmis needs to do until 30 November( 1 year after the campaign ended) is string the supporters along with pictures of a few components hand soldered per week, with hollow promises of videos and lessons to come. He still hasn't delivered the promised lessons from his previous campaign, the $9 Arduino. His employer, Albino(Smartmaker), doesn't seem to actually make anything, so how long can he keep paying Timmis for doing nothing. Timmis was hired to create boards for a previous campaign, Smartmaker, but failed and the project never delivered. Claims of contributing to the maker community ring hollow with overpriced books and little evidence of any real contribution, no lessons, no helpful forum, no website with info. People who lie to boost their reputation have only themselves to blame when the lies are uncovered and their reputation crumbles.

" my soldering iron had an issue " This is from someone who is concerned about their reputation ? As some say, this is a comedy, we are laughing at him, And he is laughing at us !

1 year on now and it feels like we are just entering the development phase, The shield is still being tested, with more faults being found. This is the same shield we were told was completed and successfully tested almost 1 year ago. Numerous promises of video showing progress are nowhere to be seen. The "bunch" of shields still only look like 1 shield and it turns out Timmis only bought 1 of each component. He had no Leonardo boards at home, some were sent from China, this from the creator of the $9 Leonardo clone. It appears that Timmis sat back and did nothing for 9 months of this year, there is no evidence of productivity. Maybe Timmis and Albino have been working all this time on a new cunning plan ? I doubt it ! Another scam maybe !

Here is an earlier pic of Timmis Maybe taken around the time he was diagnosed with CLS. ( Compulsive Lying Syndrome )
