We've found Richman the Con Man trolling for new victims among his Kearny High School (San Diego, CA) classmates! We guess because his 26 year crime spree has been exposed all over the internet in general, he thought it would be very clever to focus on a specific smaller group who would trust him automatically - his former schoolmates. Someone who has seen Richman's Classmate profile has written in with another profile (below) that Richman could very well have written had he been able to tell the truth about himself (which he is obviously unable to do).
CYNTHIA MERCER, KEARNY HIGH SCHOOL, SAN DIEGO, CA, CLASS OF ‘71
Graduation High School: Kearny High School, San Diego, CA
Grad Year: 1971
Birth Year: 1953
First Name: Cynthia
Last Name at Graduation: Mercer
Greetings and salutations Kearny High School Class of '71! You all knew me then as she, Cynthia Mercer, (older sister of my younger siblings, Jeffrey and Cheryl) but I am now he, Bradley Richman (Mercer) and have a Kearney High School profile under that name. You can click on this link to see my profile. I have also used the aliases of Fletcher Richman (for decades until recently), Johnathan Carpenter, Bradley David Richman, Sir Shining Knight.
I am extremely lazy, hated working at the low paying jobs I held, and have a serious addiction to money (hence my made-up last name, Richman), so since 1986 I have been a sociopathic, career con man – a true blue financial predator if truth be told. I have conned money out of anyone and everyone without a speck of care about the anguish and financial, physical, emotional, mental destruction I have left behind me in every case. That’s all just noise to me. There are dozens of people I’ve destroyed. I have caused elderly people to lose their homes and die penniless. I have abandoned women and small children in the middle of nowhere leaving them without a penny because they were, well, a drag on me.
And I'm here to GET YOUR MONEY too!! I want it ALL. I want your cash, I want your savings, I want your bonds, I want you to cash in your investments, I want your IRA, I want you to max out your credit cards, I want you to put mortgages on your house, I want your children's college fund, I want you to borrow from family and friends, I want you to sell your jewelry, your artwork, and give it ALL to me. I am an expert at convincing you to do that. I will promise you it's a loan but will later tell you that you donated those funds. I will tell you it's an investment with respectable gains, then I will tell you the venture failed. I will tell you your money is doing good for humanity and making you a good return as well and will then avoid you when the due date for return of your money comes. I will tell you everything and anything to GET YOUR MONEY.
As you can see from my photo, I am trying my best to look godly so you will think I am a little innocent lamb, the sweet Pillsbury dough boy. In fact, you can see me in the photo gazing lovingly up to God, as if he and I are sending fuzzy-wuzzy love vibes to each other. Isn’t it marvelous theatrics? However, it is ALL theatrics. It is ONLY theatrics. Behind it is a dangerous, ruthless thief. In fact, the white jacket I am wearing in the photo above is part of a suit I stole from the men's store at the Pittsburgh Mills Mall. I liked it and therefore it was mine. Why should I pay for something that's mine already?"
I will imitate anything and anyone I can to GET YOUR MONEY. I will sympathize with you, I will commiserate with you, I will mentor you, I will befriend you, I will advise you, I will teach you. I will make you feel sorry for me what with my rotten upbringing and gender struggles.
I will have my minions around me with their bobble-heads nodding up and down, smiling in agreement with every word I say to give you added comfort so I can GET YOUR MONEY. I will have my paralegal, Marie Haught, taking very professional meetings with you and weaving pure smoke and mirrors into a totally fictitious but real-sounding business proposition that you will believe so I can GET YOUR MONEY. Then she'll draw up legal agreements that you think mean something, but actually mean NOTHING. Nothing! You cannot BELIEVE it possible that all these people are lying to you. But guess what? We ARE!!
I might communicate with you for years without conning you. But eventually, I will GET YOUR MONEY. Because I have to. That's all I do. That's all I will ever do. That's what I wake up thinking about every morning and go to bed thinking about every night and spend all my time working on in between. How I can GET YOUR MONEY.
I move around a lot so I've never once been caught in spite of conning millions of dollars out of dozens of people for the past 26 years. I came very close to being caught in Minnesota in 2005 when I conned an elderly lady, Fern Webber, into putting a $65K (some say $250K) mortgage on her house. I then took the money, hid out for a while and skipped town! The FBI opened a case against me (call Elaine Rice, FBI, St. Paul, MN, 612-376-3200) and investigated diligently, but they weren’t able to get enough evidence on me. I'm really good at that too. You will GIVE ME YOUR MONEY and you won't even have a receipt to prove you gave it to me, never mind having solid evidence that I stole it so that the authorities can convict me! You're all fools! You are so EASILY DUPED – you simply don’t believe there are financial predators like me out there and even better, because I went to Kearny High School with you, you trust me automatically. Thank you for making my job SO EASY!
I like to spend YOUR MONEY not on solid investments, or the usual trappings of con men – the houses, cars, jewelry, boats, trips, vacations, dinners, expensive suits. Oh no. I like taking many thousand mile meandering road trips with no purpose or goal (but which cost a ton what with vehicle rental, gas, hotels, meals, snacks, site-seeing fees, entertainment, tolls, etc.) but most of all - I LOVE to spend YOUR MONEY at amusement parks. Yup, I can blow thousands of your dollars in one day no problem. Those midway games are so FUN aren't they?
I was confused and disappointed when some of my former victims banded together last year and exposed me all over the internet. Gee I’ve been at this since 1986, so I really didn’t think anyone objected to what I was doing! All those reports and TEN VICTIM STORIES – all of whom were complete strangers to each other before meeting me. The only thing they have in common with each other now is that I stole from all of them! There are also seven other victims that have written to the victim website but don't want their stories posted on the website in case I recognize them and show up in their lives again. That's seventeen people (the tip of the iceberg really) from whom I stole and who've come out against me!! Why?? Google "Fletcher Richman", Bradley David Mercer, Bradley David Richman, Johnathan Carpenter and Sir Shining Knight. You will see 15 pages of articles exposing me and my cons. These awful, awful people have stopped me from making a living! I can no longer find new victims on the internet!! Why would anyone DO that? I NEED THE MONEY! They've also reported me to the FBI, the IRS, the SEC, the United States Secret Service, Postal Service and SSA. Why would they DO such a mean, mean thing?
So, my lovely, lovely former classmates, I am forced to come to you for a fresh source of that which I hunger for - YOUR MONEY. I am not a wolf in sheep's clothing. I am a vampire bat in sheep's clothing and I will not let you go until I have sucked every penny of YOUR MONEY out of you and will leave you a dried up dusty heap of bones. And 500 of you have viewed my Bradley Richman (Mercer) profile so far, so that's a lot of MONEY coming my way! Huzzah! Get ready to open your wallets WIDE, suckers!
So if you meet me, RUN do not walk away from me. If I email you, DO NOT RESPOND. If I call you, HANG UP ON ME. Because if you do engage with me, one way or another I'm gonna GET YOUR MONEY – all of it. You can take that to the bank (but make sure you make the withdrawal for me while you’re there!). If you do choose to deal with me, do so at your absolute peril ‘cause I don’t care one whit about your miserable little crappy life.

Another report on Bradley Richman (Fletcher):
I can personally attest to being a first hand witness (brainwashed "student") to Fletcher's Crime Spree. Fletcher borrows money from people, promises payback, does not pay, and then claims the loaned money was a gift to his bogus establishment that he re-brands constantly. I personally was not taken for any money from Fletcher because I did not have any. I did however, have family and friends that I so mistakenly introduced to Fletcher be taken for all of their money.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are currently a "student" of Fletcher, your long term financial health is at great danger. You should be very concerned and flee your relationship with Fletcher immediately. I also can personally attest to some of the stories on sacredvaults.org and can tell you that Jennifer's story about Warren and Fern are very very sad and true.
AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE: IF you are currently engaged in a relationship with Fletcher Richman, you need to take heed and cut ties immediately, or you yourself will be in the same robbed position as everyone else that has trusted Fletcher over the past 9 years. I have been able to move on with my life since I abandoned my relationship with Fletcher hastily, and am very saddened, yet not surprised that the ruse continues. I commend all past "students" that are coming out and exposing Fletcher's Ponzi Scheme. I truly hope that all wrongs will be eventually righted throughout this whole situation.

And still another victim of Fletcher Richman:
It has been a year since I was swindled by Fletcher and his crew. I spent hours showing him Historic homes in #######, ##. He was going to buy them and believed they had vaults under them. We wrote contracts and he was waiting for his Trust Fund to happen to buy them. There was nothing negative about him on the Internet at the time.
Long story short he only got $2,000 dollars from us and time spent with the homes. . .
He invited us to go to Utah for a presentation and also invited 30 other people. It seemed legit but at the last minute he asked me to pay for the tickets on my credit card. . . . That's when I called the people in Utah and alerted them of his behavior.
Since so many people have come forward I finally feel comfortable in doing so. Its terrible how he can do this to innocent people.
=====================================================
Fletcher Richman continues to post under the name "Warren T. Angel" on Internet sites. His favorite technique is to quote from spiritual books in order to DISTRACT, DEFLECT, and DECEIVE the reader into thinking that he is a decent (although somewhat wacky) person. His wierd loony language style GIVES HIM AWAY EVERY TIME!
=====================================================
Fletcher Richman continues to post on Internet sites, attacking his robbery victims as "poor fools and misguided, evil misfits". Can you believe that? What a dark foul vicious sociopathic crook!
Bradley Richman ("Fletcher Richman") very well knows that he can NEVER mention the name of anyone else supporting him other than his mind-controlled minions, Warren Angel and Eleanor Henderson, because they DO NOT EXIST! He has NO SUPPORTERS ANYWHERE, other than Warren & Ellie, who still are deluded enough to believe that they will get their hundreds of thousands of dollars back from him! Everyone else has made every effort to stay away from him once they have discovered that he is a cruel serial thief and deceiver - with ABSOLUTELY NO CONSCIENCE and no concern whatsoever for the financial and psychological harm he inflicts on others.
EVERY PERSON - EVERY INDIVIDUAL - over the last 25 years that Fletcher has interacted with has both regreted ever meeting him and has LOST either precious time or money to him - WITHOUT EXCEPTION!!!
Fletcher Richman has exhibited such VANITY and GREED over the last 25 years that wherever this self-proclaimed "Ambassador of Light" goes, he looks upon each person as a potential source of MONEY to be gotten at any cost. Each person he meets gets a different concoction of LIES and DECEPTIONS. To one family, he proclaimed himself as the leader of a secret group of Manly Palmer Hall students who were safeguarding a 6,000 piece priceless collection of books and documents (and millions of dollars in gold bullion that was to be shared with that family within 3 weeks). To others he claims to be visited almost daily by a "being from Heaven" who is in a visible tangible body and who gives him orders and tells him secrets about those he meets (which he immediately shares with them to prop up their egos and get them to trust him with their money).
Fletcher Richman will tell any LIE. He will engage in any shady DECEPTION. Always with the very cleverly crafted purpose of STEALING PEOPLE'S MONEY.
=====================================================
Warren Angel has become as much of a LIAR & DECEIVER as Bradley Fletcher Richman is. Statement from "Tragic story 1" victim:
(1) During the first week of August 2009, Warren phoned me to tell me to check my email because there was a very urgent email from Fletcher Richman. Warren also added that he had just been in the Wells Fargo Bank in Gonzales, Texas with Fletcher and that "the trust fund is real". That is the exact quote! YET 13 MONTHS LATER I LEARNED FROM FLETCHER RICHMAN'S FAMILY THAT THERE NEVER HAD BEEN A TRUST FUND! AND MONTHS LATER I LEARNED THAT THERE NEVER HAD BEEN A HUEY MERCER OIL FORTUNE THAT THE TRUST FUND WAS CLAIMED TO BE THE RESULT OF!
(2) So what was in the email from Fletcher Richman (after he had already stolen almost $200,000 from us through his lies and deceptions)? Fletcher wrote to me that it was MANDATORY that my wife immediately send him $30,000 more. He told me on the phone the next day that if my wife did not send him the $30,000, then he was "told" by a "divine being" that she would have to reincarnate a number of times in extreme poverty as her punishment!
=====================================================
Fletcher Richman, Linda Marie Haught and Warren Angel have moved their base of operations from Albuquerque, New Mexico and are on the run to escape law enforcement authorities. They WILL face JUSTICE!
=====================================================
February 28, 2011:
Fletcher Richman has been EXPOSED on this web site and http://scamchecker.com. Today he posted in his comments to his exposure that his ROBBERY VICTIMS are engaging in "cruel and vicious, slanderous lies"! Fletcher Richman is a con man - totally without a conscience - who has stolen through financial misrepresentation MASSIVE amounts of money from my family, as well as countless others throughout North America and internationally. Every posting by Bradley Fletcher Richman continues to ignore the FACT that he stole almost $200,000 from my family based upon promises of money from "gold bullion" and a "trust fund". This is especially sickening since the "gold bullion" and the "trust fund" NEVER EXISTED - these were all LIES fed to me and my wife in order to steal our money! ("Tragic story 1") Since all of this money is BORROWED MONEY - mostly from credit card cash advances - I find myself a victim of theft each time I receive another credit card bill.
Fletcher thinks he is still living in a time like the 1950s where hiding his paper trail of thefts is possible by his not writing checks or by his not having bank accounts in his own name, but only in the name of phony "businesses". The authorities have been able to access EVERY financial transaction he has engaged in - and it did not make any difference whether he used a debit card with L. Marie Haught's name on it, or a Green Dot card, or a MoneyGram, or a U.S. Postal Money Order! Fletcher has been EXPOSED for the thief that he is!
Comment from the robbery victim in "Tragic story 2":
One hundred per cent of Fletcher Richman's insistent postings on the Internet are solely meant to dupe new victims he is currently preparing to fleece, into believing he truly is being slandered, libeled and being cruelly and viciously attacked by his former colleagues. His strongly worded protestations are purposely meant to garner undeserved and mis-placed compassion. He has to maintain this offensive, indignant position in order to keep the cash rolling in from new victims who unsuspectingly and heroically rush to the "little guy's" defense. There are no words to describe the viciousness, cruelty, agony and distress his victims feel from the moment they realize he has robbed them using lies and deceptive techniques (better known as fraud). Imagine your life savings gone. Imagine never being able to retire. Imagine being so far in debt because of Richman, you have no possible way of digging yourself out. Imagine total loss of credibility with family, friends and business associates. Imagine your loss of faith in humanity. Imagine the real, ongoing daily consequences of having all of your money and assets stolen. Imagine that. Understand that. That is what Richman does. That's all he does. Everything else he does furthers that one goal of taking your money.
So if you are one of his so-called "new friends" or "compassionate associates" and are in discussions with Richman through his ridiculous "telephone consultations", and he is talking non-stop so you have no chance to speak for yourself, and he is either bullying you or guilt-tripping you and sending you his condescending emails on how to live and is interfering with your family, know that it is all a carefully designed ruse, and simply refuse to give him any money (no matter what he promises you in return). Try that and see how long he sticks around. See how vicious he gets on you when you refuse him money he feels he is entitled to. Ask him what assets he has (zero). Ask him how he's made his money over the past 25 years (through theft through fraud). Make him prove that income. He certainly never works at a job (his "divine work" puts him above that) and he certainly is not a "mining consultant" or a "caregiver for the elderly" nor does he perform any other visible form of work. For 25 years, he has lived solely through the theft of small and huge amounts of money by using his Bruton Vault/Manly Palmer Hall con - and disguising his deceptions by falsely pretending that he is a spiritual person who adheres to the "I AM" teachings. Also - something extremely important that is continually overlooked - if he hasn't opened the Bruton Vault in twenty-five years, then who could possibly call that a success and would want to attach themselves to such an obvious failure? Do you as a new "friend" have to wait for another twenty-five years? Are you willing to? Why have so many people walked or ran away from him over the years? Because he stole from them, that's why! One who claims to be on a divine mission surely knows well the commandment "Thou shalt not STEAL".
All of Fletcher Richman's victims who have come forward (there are currently seven on this website and we have contacted at least five more from whom Richman stole medium to massive amounts of money) certainly do hope he is going through a horrible "nightmare" as he states in his February 28, 2011 post - a nightmare that pales in comparison to the agony he has put his victims through. Richman's particular nightmare is due to his victims' relentless, diligent and successful attempts at cutting off his ability to obtain any more stolen money and harming any more innocent people. This is what is making him so angry and is creating his nightmare. A wrench has been tossed into the wheel of his decades long methods of receiving free cash and he doesn't like it one bit. Anyone who Googles his name comes up with a myriad of complaints about him. This has and will alert any new victims he might have been stalking.
Richman always tells just a tiny slice of the truth and omits huge chunks of it. GOD's TRUTH (as Richman continually insists upon) is that yes, the victim participants in the limited partnership agreements did so willingly, but he always neglects to mention they only participated because of Richman's massive lies and deceptions, namely:
1) the victims would be repaid in full within weeks/one month which he did not do even in one circumstance;
2) a non-existent Mr. William Christopher Spears that Richman claimed was backing up some victims' funds and the Oak Island project with $7 million and who was going to release funds repaying those victims almost weekly over three years, but never quite got around to it because there was and is no "Mr. Spears" and certainly no $7 million;
3) a non-existent $12.3 million trust fund that Richman claimed he had from his grandfather Huey Mercer backing up some victims' funds which Richman never did get control of, as he continually insisted he would, because the trust fund never existed (confirmed by his parents and Aunt Sylvia);
4) Richman claimed Manly Palmer Hall's rare and important books, documents and gold bullion would be relocated to one victim's home, to repay and back up massive funds he and his wife had released to Richman, when it was reported from people close to Mr. Hall that Manly Hall would never have entrusted his most valuable collection to a "flake" like Richman; together with
5) his bobble-head minions and co-conspirators, Eleanor Henderson (alias Heard, Williamson, Joan Washington), Linda Marie Haught (alias Justina Legacy), Warren Angel and potentially Estela Marroquin, who assure new victims that Richman's work is legitimate and that their money is 100% safe. That's four people he has around him all smiling and nodding their heads and promoting Richman's scam for him to new victims. One thinks, "All of these nice people couldn't possibly be lying to me". But they are.
Where ever he posts, Richman continually omits the fact that some of his victims gave him massive amounts of money while receiving - from Richman himself - absolute and continued guarantees and assurances of that money being returned through the above-noted sources. To think that anyone would give him large amounts of money without any assurances, is simply absurd and an outright lie. But he never ever mentions money in his posts, as if those rivers of large and small amounts of cash flowing into his hands never happened. Pretending something didn't happen, never means it didn't happen. Richman's continued defense of his actions - thefts through lies and deceptions - is fraudulent in itself.
Yes, let's do talk about "real" names shall we? Richman has hidden behind several names over 25 years and no one is really certain what his real legal name is. Is it Fletcher Richman, or Johnathan Carpenter, or Bradley David Mercer or Bradley David Richman or Cynthia Mercer? No one really knows, he is so slippery and slimy.
So yes, Richman's victims look forward to him bringing his pitiful, partial evidence into a court of law, to which they will respond with the complete story and full evidence of what he actually did. The who, what, when and where of it. The why of it is obvious: Richman's greed, laziness, hatred of humanity, a bizarre sense of entitlement to everyone else's money, a desire to inflict suffering on others and an insatiable need to dominate people. However, Richman will never, ever chance a physical appearance in any courtroom in the land. He knows full well that several local, state and federal authorities will be eagerly awaiting his arrival with a set of handcuffs and orange jump suits for him and his minions.
=====================================================
February 16 statement from "Tragic story 1" robbery victim:
On February 14, 2011 at 9:50 AM CST Fletcher Richman called me from Linda Marie Haught's land line phone in her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He left a voice mail message claiming that he was already in my area (1320 miles away) - another lie!
He claimed that he was going to be in my area with Warren and the "attorney for Tudorgram" (there is none) all this week. He claimed that he and his attorney wanted to meet with me to engage in "arbitration and mediation" (implying that he would pay me back the $187,542.48 that he had repeatedly promised to return to me). He asked me to call him back on his cell phone, which I did within 40 minutes. I left him a voice mail message stating that I was returning his call as he had requested. I called repeatedly over the last 3 days, and only got his "Merry Christmas" voice mail message!
Fletcher left this voice mail message to create the illusion that he is actually going to do something constructive in regards to the money that he stole from me. This thief has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from just 2 of the many individuals he has defrauded. Yet he had the audacity to post on an Internet site (using the name "Warren Angel") - the very next day, February 15, 2011 - an attack upon his robbery victims, (which includes me) calling them "a small group of discordant and evil individuals". A perfect example of exactly how two-faced Fletcher Richman actually is and that anything and everything he says cannot be trusted for a second.
This is typical for him. He will steal from people who make the horrific mistake of believing that Fletcher's word and his promises can be trusted. Then after the robbery victims are financially devastated, he attacks them as "evil" for complaining that they've been robbed! There are no words to describe how outrageous this is, and there are no words to describe Fletcher Richman!
=====================================================
February 8, 2011:
Fletcher Richman and Warren Angel have moved their base of operations from the Los Angeles area to Albuquerque, New Mexico these last several days. This is where co-conspirator, Linda Marie Haught - L. Marie Haught, lives. We know for certain that Linda Marie Haught laundered money through her own NORTH STAR LIFESTYLES (Wells Fargo Bank of Nevada) "business" account because both victims described in "Tragic story 1" and "Tragic story 2" wire transfered large sums of money ($50,000, etc.) to her account.
Linda Marie Haught had set up a phony business - AMERICA'S GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES - through one of the Nevada incorporation companies. This "business" info and the FEIN that was issued was then used to open a Wells Fargo bank account - AMERICA'S GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES - with L. Marie Haught as a signatory and with L. Marie Haught issued a debit card. This "business" debit card with L. Marie Haught's name on it was used by Bradley Fletcher Richman as he traveled - to pay for food, gas, lodging, and entertainment. Fletcher never has his Bradley Richman name on any bank documents.
We know that Fletcher used L. Marie Haught's debit card (from the account with the STOLEN MONEY) to pay for expenses. One of Fletcher's victims had the unfortunate experience of being in a restaurant with him when he paid for everyone's meal using a debit card. The waitress joked that he didn't look like a L. Marie Haught!
=====================================================
PLEASE NOTE! The trust fund does not exist! Mercer family members have confirmed that there is absolutely no trust fund and never was, and there was no family "oil fortune" from Fletcher's grandfather. After reading the tragic story of what their son, Bradley Mercer ("Fletcher Richman"), did to his victims, his parents confirmed by telephone that everything that we were told about Fletcher's "millions" in a "trust fund" was a pack of lies. Furthermore, his aunt (who he had claimed was the "trustee" of his "trust fund") phoned us to confirm this. She followed up with the following emails:

Please keep sending in your experiences with Bradley Fletcher Richman and his enablers. It doesn't matter if each person was not scammed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, as some victims were. We want you to share your story even if it's only $100 that he stole from you through his false promises. The key is how did Richman convince you to hand over your money, and what did he tell you about paying your money back? We all now know it was lies and deception!!! This will expose how he operates - no matter how small the amount.
We need to hear from the people who were about to quit their jobs too, just to illustrate what this heartless con man does - how he manipulates people. He has had so many people quit their jobs because that way they lose power over their lives immediately. He then does not step in with the promised replacement income (and "wealth") - resulting in immense suffering in his victims. This gives him an immense feeling of power. Fletcher Richman and his co-conspirators are a GANG OF THIEVES and we have to stand up to them. No story is too small. They are all important.
Remember the horrific realization his victims have reached: If Fletcher Richman's lips are moving, or his fingers are typing another email, he's lying!
=====================================================
January 18, 2011 statement by the person whose tragedy is detailed in "Tragic story 1":
Fletcher Richman and L. Marie Haught and the Tudorgram co-conspirators (Eleanor Henderson & Warren Angel) took - through lies, deceptions, misrepresentations, and financial fraud - almost $200,000 from me. That is as evil as holding a gun to my face and stealing my money!
=====================================================
During December 2010 and January 2011, one of our sources have confirmed that Fletcher and Warren have been in the Los Angeles, California area contacting new potential victims.
Thanks to all of you who written to us to confirm that you have posted your unfortunate experiences with Fletcher Richman on the ic3.gov website. If you haven't posted yet, PLEASE do so. Every report counts and the more victims that do report, no matter how small the amount that was taken from you (or you were tricked into "temporarily" loaning to him), the more the appropriate federal and international law enforcement agencies are informed of the true extent of Fletcher Richman's deceptive activities. There is nothing to fear from this "wolf in sheep's clothing".

January 15, 2011 statement by the person whose tragedy is detailed in "Tragic story 1":
Through today's postings by Warren and Ellie on an Internet web site, they have confirmed in writing that they are conscious co-conspirators in the cover-up of the theft of almost $200,000 from my family. Covering up a crime means that you then also become guilty of that crime.
Let me summarize this tragedy to my family CLEARLY and simply. Bradley Fletcher Richman tricked my wife into sending him $50,000 by wire transfer through the phony "business account" of L. Marie Haught in August 2008 in return for gold bullion (WHICH NEVER EXISTED) that was to be brought by Fletcher to our home in 3 weeks during Labor Day weekend. After coming up with an explanation as to why the non-existent gold bullion was not brought to our house, Fletcher Richman then repeatedly tricked me into borrowing money on credit cards and sending it to him (with his various false reasons why it was urgently needed by him for "important" meetings in various states) "for just a few weeks" until Dec. 2008 when he claimed he would finally have access to his non-existent multi-million dollar "trust fund". He promised that not only would he return my wife's money ("I will repay your wife . . . that is for certain") and my money, but he would share his inheritance "trust fund" with me in gratitude for having assisted him in traveling to various November 2008 meetings in the western states. I have the original emails in which he promised to return this money that I borrowed for him from cash advances on credit cards. He promised verbally and in writing that the money would be returned from his "trust fund" (WHICH NEVER EXISTED). He never returned one dollar to us to this day.
All attempts to deny that Bradley Fletcher Richman is a heartless con man with no conscience continue to ignore the FACT that he stole almost $200,000 from my family based upon promises of money from "gold bullion" and a "trust fund". This is especially sickening since the "gold bullion" and the "trust fund" NEVER EXISTED - these were all LIES fed to me and my wife in order to steal our money!
Since all of this money is BORROWED MONEY - mostly from credit card cash advances - I find myself a victim of theft each time I receive another credit card bill. This will continue for the next 35 years unless this money that has been STOLEN from me is returned.
Proving the insidious mind control that he has over Warren and Ellie, Fletcher Richman had commanded Warren ("not a booble head") Angel and Ellie ("courtesy call") Henderson to write defenses of him. They immediately followed orders! They completely ignore - as does Bradley Fletcher Richman - that I and so many others have had our money STOLEN through Fletcher's lies and deceptions.
As of today, four federal agencies now have evidence in their possession that documents the money schemes of Fletcher Richman. Thank God that shortly this liar and deceiver - Fletcher Richman and his enablers: Linda Marie Haught, Warren Angel, & Ellie Henderson - will receive the Justice that they deserve for participating in deceiving people who trusted in their sincerity and honesty - and who are now trapped in financial devastation due to Fletcher Richman!
