Seems he did for quite a while as he kept re-negotiating the terms of a business purchase and finding new money sources along the way.
Once you're on the radar of the Feds, safe to say all the cookie crumbs eventually and inevitably come together... Funny tangent here is "Cliente 113" used to also employ another charlatan by the name of Lance Taylor who was also sued for fraud and embezzlement in the past, who knows who tried to con who during their time together, but I'm now again hearing rumblings of defective "artisan titanium exhausts", missing deliveries, false promises etc the cycle of dishonesty seems to perpetually continue... Consider this another PSA, buy Ryft products at your own peril.
I thought this was amusing With regards to Italians actually 13 is very luck and 17 dead set BAD LUCK. Built in a new estate back in the 80's and demanded number 13 Still here renovated extensively , have an awesome career and a Ferrari Number 17 house is riddled with bad luck . Sold 15 times !!!!! Bankrupts , sackings , runaways , divorces etc etc . In an area of about 500 houses average sale rate in past 35 years has been 3.72 so 15 is the record !
