Well that's a crappy conclusion after all these years. 

Quite surprised to read the primary angle of attack was the classification of the "instruments". Securities or not securities. What bearing does that have on what was thought to be the main and single contention that Uncle Stu ran or had input to run the entire operation?

Unless the article reconfigured the verdict to highlight the securities aspect. But if that was the primary angle of attack it seems to me to be irrelevant and probably harder to prove than just that Uncle Stu had input into the running of the scam.

They "also" found:

The customers alleged all four of the products — Hashlets, Hashpoints, Paycoin and HashStakers — were unregistered securities, and that Fraser was liable for the sales because his role at the companies was comparable to that of a partner or director.

But the jury disagreed, finding none of the products were securities, not even Hashlets, which the SEC described as a security in its case against Garza. Weiner said the defense had argued, apparently convincingly, that Hashlets were not a passive investment and that customers actively controlled their investment.

The jury also found Fraser didn't aid in any common law fraud that may have been committed by GAW Miners. Fraser had argued he too had been a victim of the scheme, losing roughly $12 million, and that he didn't have decision-making power over the operations.

---

I see now. Good article below sums it all up. Essentially:

the nine-member jury found that none of the four crypto products at issue in the case was a security, so Fraser could not be liable for securities fraud.

Can you imagine having this bullshit hanging over your head all these years.  All for the love of a fucking second hand Tesla with a bow on top. Happy Birthday Uncle Stu!

BTC was like $400 when this started. $63,000 today 

As Suchmoon mentioned, probably fake and sitting on a dealer car lot with those scribbles being the stock number / other. Probably a window sticker on the right side that he is hiding as well. Also did a cursory search for Porsche dealers near Friendswood with a star bucks and burger king across the road, not much luck. Also just one white cayman used or new in the area from a dealer in Houston, no dealers it seems around Friendswood.

I wonder if the victims have a right to have him audited or monitored or something via the state exactly like this what he is buying what is he doing, look at his accounting books to see how much restitution he has paid etc etc. More so if I remember correctly he's on probation for like 2 years or something,( checking 21 month jail then 3 years supervised release with first 6 months house confinement), can the victims get the exact terms of the release like does it include no social media posts, no antagonizing the victims (quite clear that in this picture), other?  The FBI had that victims hotline or direct access or was it the prosecutor?  Perhaps a victim can find out. Guaranteed Homero's going to fuck up if he hasn't already. It's what he does best  we just need to be vigilant.

Looking at Homero's utterly ridiculous hair-do I'm guessing someone made him their bitch in there. The real problem is that since he's been out now and still maintains it, perhaps he enjoyed it. 

Homero out and about pulling his tricks again it seems  

March 2020...probably fake of course like everything else about him. Or not?



January 2020

Still breeding like flies it seems, despite having 'no bitcoins'  






rancid collection of flies...

note: moron thought changing his name to 'JD Garza' would keep him hidden...

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the 'conglomerate' the astute naturally gifted businessman Homero started and where 'employees' and the 'community' depend on him from which he intends to pay back his victims...yer honor. One fucking taco stain at a time.

Good to see Homero finally home 

Reading some of the old threads on various "prison" forums it does indeed seem it was almost a vacation for many early on, but newer discussions also seem to indicate that things have tightened up considerably and its not as relaxing as it used to be.

Immediate thinking is we need someone on the inside and that prison pen pals always seem to make the news. Quick checking shows that there are many prison penpal sites dedicated to this, some even official. Quite surprising when looking into it, always thought that weirdos seeking these friendships took a flyer and fired of mail unsolicited to whatever ever nutjob in en vogue. Whole damn sites dedicated to these match ups.  Selecting an inmate according to location doesn't seem to be an option, need to dig deeper etc.

Immediate catch is this young fella

Dude's there till 2031, maybe he can become Homero's best friend and teach him the....ways of the soap bars... while reporting back to us. Pretty funny if an inmate registered an account here and gave weekly updates with pictures of Homero...  There must be many others bored enough in there to do just that.


Place looks nice and neat and tidy, lawn looks regularly mowed also looks like lots of places to park the Tesla 

Thanks truckin, well that's relativity good news  "BOP - in prolonged transit" appears to a a real thing and fairly common.  As suggested he's in between facilities and still holed up in county or other for now. According to prison talk chatter out there people can be stuck in this position for up to 7 weeks from sentencing.  The even better news is that Homero's actual sentence does not start until his safely locked up and registered in a Federal facility. He can remain in limbo in a country lock up, or some sort transition house for however long and it does not count as part of his sentence. Federal Crime, Federal sentencing, Federal prison time. Clock only starts ticking once actually incarcerated in the Federal jail. Absolutely must make it even more trying for the loser. Apparently its a huge big deal for others that their pathetic loved ones are suffering so unnecessarily boo hoo

Let's wait another month and hope his foul rotten name finally shows up where it belongs...

Still no sight of Homero in the BOP system.  Seems to me to be taking way too long now.

What does Shinner's have to say about that? He's supposed to depose Homero in jail, so where is he exactly? Or can a registered victim contact the SEC or the prosecutors office (used to be a freely available liaison contact email for them) and straight up ask where is Homero.  Even send them the BOP link so they can investigate:  https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/

Victims are supposed to have a right to now where the fucking thief is.

Got to say I am quite surprised by this. It is a whole separate bureau just to analyze where to send a prisoner. There is a whole  Offender Classification System includes medical, health, education, and some other determining factors as to where they go. The judge can just make a recommendation but they need to run it through this operation. Seems like an extraordinary waste of resources but looks like it is old law since 1930.

Pretty much explains it all: https://www.frostbussert.com/files/cj_v31n01_sp16_folder_vasquezbussert.pdf

Just seems weird, convicted felon has rights as to where he is placed to serve his term.

Well that answers it. He's still being processed.

Loser is actually stuck in the system right now   .  Wow how anti-BTC    assigned a number and stuffed into a computer system.  Pretty damn scary actually, next they'll be barcoding his number onto his arm and automating his check in and check out...no names just a number.

Not clear if he's physically located there or just virtually until actual BOP placement.  Either way, wow, anything and everything this fool does from now on appears to involve a whole lot of red tape and permissions and approvals.  There one would have thought it's as simple as wagon hauling his ass from his trailer in the trailer park straight into a prison cell. Needs to be processed. In the system even before any of that !  

Always some monumental fuck up with this guy    Can't even go to jail right, useless POS.

What can it be?

1. He off'd himself
2. Ran away to Mexico
3. Chicken shit lawyer and his spies on this thread convinced the BoP not to state his whereabouts
4. Think the choice of where to go was his, he selected a State or County detention center (vinelink covers everything other than BoP - tried the obvious Texas, CT, MA, Vermont, NY etc. nothing https://vinelink.com/#/home
5. Shinner's case requires his deposition which has since been confirmed by the Judge and that is keeping him out


Any legal reason you would  expect to be recorded somewhere by now? Maybe it is just that BoP is slow to update. He is aware of course that with the various outside options (send gifts call or email, voice concern, book visit etc can lead to some epic RL trolling  Homero thought he'd be safe inside from the muggles. How many sad and disappointing times is Elon going to promise to visit and never show up one must wonder  )

The whole tone of it was off for me. It should have been an authoritative instruction to the judge on what to do. Instead it reads like a narrative from this thread  I was half expecting to see an OMG in there. OMG and he even rented this jet for x amount dollars. The whole thing reminded me of the childish banter between Uncle Stu's lawyer and the gawsuit lawyers at one stage.   They were arguing back and forth in writing on some lame point, it just read "petty".  And so did this.  This should have had a more serious measured tone to it.

Actually horrified to read this. Read the whole thing, at first I thought the whole thing was written by a victim until I got to the end and it's signed by the lead prosecutor. Found it completely amateurish.  Unconvincing and borderline hysterical.   Did he leave it to a fucking first year intern to write up?  Atrocious. No wonder the judge gave the bare minimum  

Little more detail:

https://www.reformer.com/stories/garza-gets-21-month-sentence-for-bitcoin-scheme,550382

Weird to me how the judge thinks his sentence is quite stern.  Seems to comprehend the severity of it all and thinks his sentence is just.

For some reason I thought Shinners was much younger   

Watch Homero come out of prison a converted Muslim. 

Homero al-Garza Strip

Has to be that. Only place or people that would "forgive" him and then throw money at him for repenting like that.  Has to be some sheeple in a church ready for a fleecing. No other way anyone sane would do business with him now.  Where's that young pastor that got roped in for half a mil, wow completely forgotten his name. Even had live video shows. Matt something? Only way possible one can get large sums of money while being a convict. The more heinous the better the bigger the tears for forgiveness the more the money rolls in    Didn't they already create some scam charity or church like setup early on? Totally this is it, Homero's next big heist, seances to the the Almighty above through used glass dildos.

News outlets are slowly picking it up. No wonder they are home schooling the kids.  Seriously, what kind of business and where is it located that anyone would dream of doing business with him? It is noted he said it was something his wife had wanted to do forever, but at the same time is expected to generate 9 million dollars  from which he will pay everyone back   Surely not a sandwich shop? Dildo Testing Services? Medical Marijuana stolen from Roger the Shrubber?   Seems they have sealed this vital information, no doubt from the trolls... we must found out what it is.

SHOUT OUT TO CARLOS ! best one yet!
