Look I agree a federal charge on the guy sounds harsh but this dude is lying about everything there is to lie about. If he doesn’t wanna go to jail, he should probably think about refunding all these people. By definition, fraud is using deception (lying) to take peoples money. If he can’t prove he was in the hospital, etc, etc, etc, and all these other excuses, it’s really an open and shut case. And if he was really in the hospital for that long, I wish him best of health but he still stole all y’all’s money and disappeared.
Hell, if he’s in the hospital, why TF is his website even still up? As a business wouldn’t you want to inform your customer instead of hiding, then come back strong with a reopening? Every move he makes just reeks.
And it’s not small claims, he used the internet to steal across state lines so he opened himself up to wire fraud for every person he defrauded that doesn’t live in Alabama. If it was all in person it would be small claims (I’m not a lawyer at all but that’s the way I understood it at least)
I mean, his facebook page uses his middle name as his last name and has the wrong age. Every day that goes by of him not replying just makes him look more guilty.
They tried all those previous links to state departments in the first page of comments, I can’t really think of anything or anyone else to try; I’m just hoping it works out for y’all. All y’all, even him. Preferably not with him in a jail cell, but at some point this dude made his own bed.
Or maybe I’m being harsh; which honestly is totally fair, but I hate reading
ALLLLL these people all getting burned by him. At some point, a federal case for wire fraud is gonna be the only option : (
