Title: Bruce Wagner - "reprehensible" fraudster according to Cook County Judge Post by: nanaimogold on August 30, 2011, 08:12:31 PM Oh, the shit just gets deeper and stinkier.
http://mortgagefraudblog.com/perp-walk/item/10674-illinois_foreclosure_rescue_company_fined_and_shut_down Quote Bold Funding, Inc. and its owner-operator, Bruce Wagner, were found to have violated Illinois law by falsely promising to secure private funding for loans to save the homes of persons who were in foreclosure for a fee ranging from $300 to $6,670. ... In Civil Court on April 18, 2006, Judge Julia Nowicki ordered Bold Funding and Bruce Wagner to refund $115,858 in application fees to 74 former customers who never received any funding from the Defendants. Bold Funding and Bruce Wagner were also fined $250,000, and the Defendants were permanently banned from providing any services in Illinois related to residential mortgage loans. ... probably the largest, most sophisticated foreclosure scam I've ever heard about, before or since then. $116,000 or so in refunds doesn't begin to compensate all of the victims. And now the owner, it seems, fled to another state and is trying to start his own talk show! http://web.archive.org/web/20040923210936/http://boldfunding.com/ Quote Bold Funding helps hundreds of people each and every year.

Libel and Slander are not victimless crimes. :o Where is the evidence it's the same person? No matter. Any Judge in Canada would look at this and say, Broocie, you did start this by calling Shane a thief. Do you really want to try to prove damages here? At that point Broocy's lawyer would ask for more cash up front. And speaking of cash, just where did Bruce get that 25K he had in MBC? He said something about his friends. Maybe those friends were paying to accompany Brooce around the world to places only notorious for sex tourism where they might pay for sex with boys who are of course all over 18 yrs old. Hmm, what was that big pile of loot earmarked to pay for brooce? Could the ledger at MBC shed some light on that? Perhasp those "friends" you speak of owning that loot might tell us why it was there, under your control? Hmm.

If you look at when the most vocal broocy fanbois joined this forum, you can see that they came here together as a group. They are constantly boosting the brooce or hurling insults and accusations at anyone who questions what they are up to. Twisting other's words, quoting out of context, deleteing posts an otherwise censoring. Many serious people left this forum last fall because of this. I was forced to come back here recently to defend myself against this allegation that brooce conned into the NY Observer. But the off topic folder won't stop this discussion and Google will still index it. Since Brooce was apparently running, state to state, from the victims of his scams, I have to wonder why he left his beloved Thailand? Was he running from there too? I wonder what the Thai police think of bruce? Or perhaps he is Tod Williams when travveling abroad. And I'm still wondering who paid for those 25K bitcoins that were parked at MBC and what those people were expecting in return.

Title: Re: Bruce Wagner - "reprehensible" fraudster according to Cook County Judge Post by: Jonathan Ryan Owens on September 01, 2011, 07:04:52 PM This information makes me sick to my stomach.
Not only is Bruce Wagner guilty of fraud in multiple states, he's also very possibly 'Tom Williams', and even if he isn't, he was aware of the problems with MyBitcoin far before it went offline, and at the very least he accepted money/bitcoin from them to continue advertising what ended up being a total scam. The entire Bitcoin community needs to cast him out, and expose him as completely as possible. If he's allowed to continue as the face of Bitcoin, there is virtually no chance that Bitcoin will see anything but ultimate death. Journalists are going to have a field day with this. Awesome. Bruce, you need to apologize to the community and get out of the way. Title: Re: Bruce Wagner - "reprehensible" fraudster according to Cook County Judge Post by: wolftaur on September 02, 2011, 06:50:02 PM Bruce, you need to apologize to the community and get out of the way. He didn't exactly apologize and get out, he made this long speech about how this forum is just full of trolls and children and there's no chance of having any real discussions blah blah, and he's going to go make his own Bitcoin forum with himself as a moderator. In other words, he's just trying to start a place where he can discuss Bitcoin for his own gain (I smell a mybitcoin replacement coming!) and censor anything that makes him look bad. I seriously hope his NY court case goes into the crapper and a judge throws him in prison for being a complete sack of shit.

Consider how poorly he covered his tracks. Note how he easily discusses in public the raping of children (who are adults). Or of how he travels from place to place perpetuating the same financial scam even after he has been caught and censured by the courts. He clearly does not have the conscience to determine right from wrong. What I find to be astonishing is, even after my pointing this out TEN MONTHS AGO, it took until now for the truth to finally sink in to the users here. We are not finished exorcising this devil yet however. There are some moderators of this board who need removing. Word wankers and twisters are liars who are injecting their own agenda into this forum. The Paxum discussion illustrates this well. The moderator lied and then closed the thread to prevent rebuttal. Since then he has resorted to attacking my character repeatedly. He is just one of those not suitable to moderate our important discussions. We need to chase these dishonorable clowns back under the rocks they crawled out from under. This forum is too important to the education of the new users to allow these abusers the ability to skew reality to fit their own diseased paradigm.
