Let's hope so. Pieces of **** like this need to be locked up and turned into Bubba's bit*h for LOOOONG time.
So does anyone know if LVEric was affected by this? He had both his Diablo GTR's, SE30, and 25th Countach there last time I saw....
Blah, Blah. Too much pointless name calling, not enough legal action. Makes me surprised that between the 31 scammed, nobody reported here what you have legally done about it. Seems really odd.....Update?
I agree, if this happened to me there would have been NO delay, I'm a retired dealer and have seen this many times in the past, I gave some good advice, it was not followed.
Maybe lawyers have told them to post nothing? It would still be encouraging to hear that the wheels of justice are turning.
Trust me its being handled by lawyers and the law. As far as the website, sure its still up and running but there is no more bellagio motors. ITS CLOSED DOWN. NO INVENTORY.
On another note, I'm amazed how well this board polices itself, F ing amazing! I have never seen anything like it and I'm also a member of a police / firearms board. I'm not a cop tho ftr.
Nope. Depends on the person wronged. Different people have different ways of dealing with things. Most follow the legal system. Others pursue other options, as Scott Ponsole found out.
I'm a victom of Fred, this will end up in court. I purchased a Lotus and bank never recieved the Tilte. He will end up in Jail.
The Yelp website has 5 reviews all victims of Belagio motors. Evidently they have skipped out on about a million dollars Fred scammed & the police are looking for him.
unfortunatly, unless the vendor has commited a serious federal offense, like screwing the gov or killing someone or really defrauding in the multi millions, he will start another business elsewhere. I found out early when i was in this country that scammers of the general public are not a priority. I was told so by the prosecutor himself when I went to his bankrupcy hearing court on my issue with 50 or more other people... It was a guy selling furniture and cashing deposits from all over eastern states and not delivering comes the due dates. the scam was planned out. Multistate affair. I also found out the same thing in another instance where a pest control guy was collecting on annual fees and programs but never delivered when called upon and was spaying water and the like for regular mainatenance. I was told he was at his 5th business doing the same thing... Here is the best of free entreprise for you.. Unless you guys have tons of money to chase him regardless of costs that thing is dead. I said that when this post started.
The guys day will come, you can't take so many people without something occurring. The worst is he is screwing with people who have to earn their money the hard way i.e through graft and dedication.
Looks like his day has come. I was told by a friend (one that he screwed over) he's in custody with a 3mil dollar bail and will face up to 20 years.
Stardate: Mon., Dec. 10 2012 at 3:03 PM "Ebadat was arrested Dec. 3 and was scheduled to be arraigned today in Santa Ana. He is charged with 15 felony counts of embezzlement by fiduciary of trust, 15 felony counts of money laundering, and 11 felony counts of grand theft by false pretenses with sentencing enhancements and allegations for aggravated white collar crime over $500,000 and $1.3 million. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 34 years and eight months in state prison. To make his $3 million bail, he "must prove the money is from a legal and legitimate source," according to the OCDA, which adds Ebadat is also subject to a no-bail Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold." http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2012/12/farhad_ebadat_bellagio_motors.php -mick
