I've told (part) of this story before... this Utah homegorwn internet scammer, Jeremy Johnson, is trying his hardest to stay out of jail. The latest is his attempt to bribe a public official (he thought he was bribing Harry Reid (D-NV) but there's no evidence that Reid's office was even aware). He met with a high official in the Attorney General's office, who introduced him to a payday loan company owner that told him he hook him up with Reid and Johnson could avoid jail time.

The deal unraveled; read it in all its glory.

For some reason the top origins of financial fraud per capita are Boca Raton, FL and Salt Lake City.

Utah is the home of multi-level marketing. Our laws are friendly and we don't care about business ethics.

This is a recording of our favorite scammer at work:

Some of the low points:

All this for the low-low price of half of Debbie’s yearly income :: on credit cards :: which Chris suggests people on the “Success Team” call “investment cards”. These are the bullet points Chris gives Debbie to write down regarding the ruinous price …
■tuition – it’s costs as much as college :: so pretend that’s what it is …
■one time – not really :: other Utah boiler rooms will be calling within the week demanding more money for still more fictitious services
■short-term — only if you plan to file for bankruptcy soonish :: otherwise a person on a $26K salary will basically never be able to pay off $10K at 10% compounding interest
■tax-deductible — um … what? sounds like bullshit … maybe Utah’s The Tax Club can help by billing $2500 more to Debbie’s card
■protected — from getting a refund by abusive practices and credit card company complicity
■change today! – for giggles … fuck you Chris … fuck you!

Chris then explains how it’s possible to make money on the Internet. Basically :: by ranking number one in Google for Netflix … or Nike.
