"This blog is dedicated to; telling the Truth about Kelly Gordon Rogers (A Frisco, TX Attorney), exercising my First Amendment rights to Free Speech, and acting in a matter of "public concern" for the sole purpose of protecting individuals from getting involved in his financial schemes."

From his MLM deals to the Level Par Ponzi scheme, from his Oil and Gas shell games to his Medicare scam, people all over the Frisco area fell victim to these "Deals of a lifetime".

So keep those comments coming because we can't do it without you. Keep your eyes and ears open. You can email any important information to burnedbyrogers@gmail.com. Your identity will be held in strict confidentiality, never to see the light of day.

Happy New Year to everyone and only 47 more days until his first judgment day!

KELLY G ROGERS ATTEMPTS TO FLEE TO MEXICO

It's now become clear why Kelly G Rogers was jailed for nine days in November. He was trying to FLEE to MEXICO! A business trip?

According to the States Response to Defendants Motion to Release Defendant and set Reasonable Bond;

Section VI: "Further, the State has learned that the surety who was previously discharged by the Court (Act Now Bail Bonds) was previously requested by the defendant to permit him to obtain an expedited passport to travel to Mexico, presumably on business. Were defendant allowed to do so, he would be beyond the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court and beyond the ability of the surety to surrender the defendant for violation of his surety agreement with the bonding company".

Well, thank God someone found out about this little "Business Trip"!

So once Act Now Bail Bonds was granted the discharge, Rogers had to be jailed until he posted a new bond. Possibly being short of cash, Mitchell R. Nolte (Attorney for the Scammer) filed a Motion to lower the bond from the current $50,000 per felony to $10,000. It was denied.

In the State's response, Dale R. Barron, Special Assistant Criminal District Attorney for Collin Count,  reminded the Court;

"The defendant is charged with seven first degree felony offenses, including the charge from 2009, which all carry a penalty range of from 5 to 99 years or life confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional division, and as such should require a significant and sufficient bond to insure the appearance of the defendant at trial which is scheduled for February 17, 2013, in this Honorable Court. The State believes that the current bonds set for the six causes of action at issue in this matter are reasonable and necessary due to the severity of the charges the defendant is charged with".

The Court ordered to keep the bond at $50,0000 per occurrence, required the defendant to surrender any US Passport but denied the State request that Rogers be fitted with a GPS tracking devise.

Additionally, the court ordered Tom Bensen d/b/a Act Now Bail Bonds to refund the full amount of fees paid for the execution of the bond by the Defendant as follows;

1. $20,000 to Fred Sewell (Defendant's Father-in-Law).
2. $  4,025 to Carrie Sewell Rogers (Defendant's wife).
3. Any other fees personally paid by the defendant ($5,975).

Fred Sewell is a fine man and sits on the Board of Directors of Comstock. Back in 2004-2006, Kelly Rogers was raising money for his Oil and Gas shell games with Rick Weyand, and would OFTEN dropped Mr. Sewell's name as an investor in his deals. He was quick to point out that he wasn't supposed to disclose that information but it sounded good, making the appeal of the opportunity seem that much better to the investors.

Each variation of the Oil and Gas investments would ultimately go bankrupt and those investors who believed his line of B.S. lost their total investment. Par for the course.

When Rogers was arrested on May 4th, 2012, his neighbor was M. Jay Allison, CEO of Comstock. Five days later, Comstock announced the appointment of Fredrick Sewell to the board.

How embarrassing.

Early Christmas Gifts From the State vs. Kelly Rogers

The State of Texas has sent out early Christmas Gifts to all those little elf's who will contribute to the cause of sending Kelly Rogers away...for a very long time.

Like a brightly wrapped gift, neatly situated under the Christmas Tree, we are overjoyed with love and gratitude in knowing that our nightmare is about to conclude with justice being served.

And Kelly G Rogers' nightmare is about to begin. (click on the image to enlarge)

Doc's Bail Bonds posted our local miscreant's 50,000.00 bonds. Jerry Wynne Dillard is the agent for Doc's. What collateral could Roger's possibly have that is worth 350,000.00? Is he putting Carrie to work? Thanks Doc's for bailing lil' Madoff out. Whatever the Rogers' clan produced, rest assured it's fake!

"So it looks like our favorite deadbeat con man, has once again magically been able to post $350,000 in surety bonds. Amazing how a bankrupt person seems to keep coming up with large amounts of money?! So Rogers gets out for a few more months and continues his path of fraud upon society. At the end of the day, does it really make any difference? The pursuit of greed and lust for material possessions is worth being known as the local scofflaw? What a disgrace Rogers is as a father, husband, lawyer and human being.

Yes, he still is licensed to practice law in Texas. Kelly, you bonded out of jail temporarily but you can't bond out or delay the fact that you are a worthless piece of trash that took advantage of his friends, clients, fellow Christians Wow, you are so clever! Prison won't be as easy as your stay in the Collin County Detention Facility, you have a few months to prepare for it, unless the State or someone files a Motion to keep you in jail, or your Federal Indictment comes sooner. The Feds usually wait until after the State case is resolved to take their pound of flesh. It is coming, maybe you and Carrie will be together after all, as joint inmates in State and Federal Correctional Institutions. Nice Couple".

"I am one of those mentioned in this blog from "out of state". My relationship with Kelly Rogers prior to 2005 cost me at least $420,000, as well as my successful career. More importantly many of my family members who I love and some of those I worked with were damaged as well. If and when the time becomes appropriate, I look forward to sharing further documentation of how the relationship with Mr. Rogers caused an onslaught of the civil and arbitration cases and the devastation it caused. I only have one thing to say to Kelly Rogers at this point. You are absolutely pathetic".

"This story will be like the hundreds of other "ponzi" schemes in American History. While Rogers delayed his Collin County trial(s) for over four years, he was continuing to perpetuate his fraud (s) upon society.

The rumor is that Rogers is being investigated for Bankruptcy Fraud ( not sure what the investigation would be, since how many people go bankrupt and live in a two million dollar home that isn't their own). However, more victims from out of state or other areas will emerge and if Rogers had been locked up, he couldn't have done it.

So the Court finds that Act Now didn't follow the proper procedures in discharging Rogers Bond? It will be funny to see how this plays out! Rogers trying to get his 35 k back from Act Now Bail Bonds? Hopefully they delay and make him work for it, like he made everybody else! What bonding company would post this miscreant's bond? How would either Carrie or Kelly have 350k in assets? Thought they were bankrupt. Grab some popcorn, enjoy the show"!

"Rogers has a bond reduction hearing set for November the 6th. He is once again trying to manipulate the system. His attorney filed a motion to set a "reasonable" bail.

I think 50k per first degree felony is more than fair. I would encourage all that are victims to attend the hearing and voice their protests. Rogers will be brought over from the jail in a belly chain and shackles for viewing purposes".

"Very good points on your article. How nice it is to see that Act Now finally got the picture! Yes, what you are saying in theory is true, however, I would doubt that any bonding company in Collin County would take this risk, unless Rogers came up with at least 50k in principal for the bonds. He is charged with 1st degree felony cases, certainly a flight risk.

Even if he could make bond, I suspect the State would then come back with a Motion to Increase Bond. Judge Rusch would grant it and Rogers would have to come up with more money. Act now felt as though Rogers was going to flee or had ( shocking) lied about his true assets. If he can't bond he is at the mercy of the State, defending complex financial cases from jail, is nearly impossible.

The jail has I-care packages you can send through the jail commissary. Maybe we can all send an " I don't effing care" package!

Rogers is totally screwed, he rejected the plea offers, he may get more time than the amount of yards the Detroit Lions put up on the Cowboys last week. The wheels of justice churned slow, however, for Rogers this is the worst scenario, ever.  I love it "!!

Kelly Rogers Arrested October 29th

*****Day 9: November 7th; Rogers Bonds out of jail.

*****Day 9: November 7th, Rogers still in jail.

*****Bond Reduction Hearing: 9:00 am November 6th.

*****November 4th: Rogers moved, 1C Cell 12 Bunk 1.

*****November 1st: Still in the slammer.

*****October 31st: police surround the GEORGE SHIPP 

          house, property encircled with Yellow "Crime Scene"

          tape and Police leave the home with several boxes

          of evidence.

 

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Naturally, we're talking about the arrest record of Kelly Gordon Rogers.  

Yesterday, Kelly G Rogers was arrested, processed and is now in the Collin County Jail. He was arrested by the McKinney Police Department. This is the FIFTH time Kelly Rogers has been arrested. He currently occupies 3A Cell 11 Bunk 1. 

   

It appears a hearing took place on 10/29/2013. My guess is that Bondsman Tom Benson relieved himself of his undertaking by asking the court to surrender the accused into the custody. Looks like the motion was granted and a new warrant was issued for the arrest of Kelly Rogers. 

It'll be interesting to see what happens. Does Rogers' have a stash of assets to secure a new bond? If he does, he'll bond out in no time. If he doesn't, he could sit in jail until his February trail. But that's Doubtful.  

Warrant Type: Affidavit of CCP 17.16 - Discharge of Surety

 



TEX CR. CODE ANN. § 17.16 : Texas Statutes - Article 17.16: DISCHARGE OF LIABILITY; SURRENDER OR INCARCERATION OF PRINCIPAL BEFORE FORFEITURE. According to the Collin County Website; On 10/30/2013 a hearing took place and the bondsman forfeited

 (a) A surety may before forfeiture relieve himself of his undertaking by:

(1) surrendering the accused into the custody of the sheriff of the county where the prosecution is pending; or

(2) delivering to the sheriff of the county where the prosecution is pending an affidavit stating that the accused is incarcerated in federal custody, in the custody of any state, or in any county of this state.(b) For the purposes of Subsection (a)(2) of this article, the bond is discharged and the surety is absolved of liability on the bond on the sheriff's verification of the incarceration of the accused.

 

October 31st: police surround the GEORGE SHIPP house, property encircled with Yellow "Crime Scene" tape and Police leave the home with several boxes of new evidence.

 

Crime scene: 18 Stonebriar Way, Frisco, TX 75034

 

 

 

Don't fret--justice is coming to Kelly Rogers!

A Reader Comments about Kelly G Rogers: 

"Hello KELLY! Maybe in your free time of plotting your scams, you should look at what Dale Barron and The Collin County District Attorney's Office did to KAREN BOWIE.. She just received um.... 80 YEARS ON ONE CASE! Kudos to Dale Barron and the District Attorney's Office. The wheels may move slow, however they are proving to be thorough. The worst thing for Rogers' is he has judge who isn't going to put up with his manipulation and shenanigans, I don't think any attorney wants Rogers' case..... The day of reckoning approaches.... 80 YEARS! 

State of Texas nails Karen Bowie

If I were Rogers, I'd be crapping my pants after reading the sentence brought to Karen P. Bowie.  Titan Wealth Management, LLC was shut down by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2009 because it was a Ponzi Scheme. The team of Dale Barron and the Collin County DA's Office nailed this group of financial terrorists. This is the same team who's prosecuting Kelly G Rogers.

Karen P. Bowie of Dallas was indicted June 9, 2011 in Collin County for her alleged role in the fraud perpetrated by Titan Wealth Management LLC of Plano. Titan Wealth principal Thomas Lester Irby II is serving a 24-year state prison sentence after being convicted of money laundering. Irby's fraud involved the sale of fictitious high-yielding "European Mid-Term Notes," supposedly issued by European banks. 

According to the indictment, Bowie unlawfully appropriated at least $4.7 million from investors in Titan Wealth. (Texas State Securities Board-2011 Civil and Criminal Actions).

State of Texas vs. Karen Bowie. On January 3^rd, 2013, Jury released to deliberate at 10:19 a.m. Verdict reached at 11:35 a.m. Defendant found guilty as charged in indictment. Verdict accepted by the Court.
On February 1^st, 2013:  Jury charged and released to deliberate at 12:20 p.m. Jury returned verdict at 2:30 p.m. Jury's verdict is 80 years confinement in TDCJ and a fine of $10,000.00. Verdict accepted by the court. Defendant sentenced to 80 years confinement in TDCJ and fined $10,000.00. Back time credit of 603 days.

John J.Kim a Maryland resident who was part of a Texas-based scam to sell supposedly high-yielding European notes, pleaded guilty Feb. 21, 2011 in Collin County state District Court to engaging in organized criminal activity. Kim was sentenced to 10 years in state prison. Kim was part of a scheme organized by Thomas Lester Irby, a Frisco money manager who convinced about 30 investors to put $3.1 million into fictitious "European Mid-Term Notes" issued by European banks. The notes supposedly paid short-term returns of between 10% and 50%. Most of the money from investors was diverted to pay Irby's personal expenses and to pay early investors in what turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. Irby was sentenced to 24 years in state prison on Dec. 20. (Texas State Securities Board-2011 Civil and Criminal Actions).

Thomas Lester Irby II of Frisco, TX was sentenced to 24 years in state prison on a money laundering charge in connection with his sale of purported high-yield investments from European banks. Irby was also sentenced to 10 years deferred adjudication on charges of theft and securities fraud and was ordered to pay $700,000 in restitution to two of his victims. Irby pleaded guilty to the charges on Dec. 12, 2010. Irby operated Titan Wealth Management LLC in Plano. He promised investors they could earn short-term returns of 10% to 50% on notes issued by European banks. According to court documents, no investor funds were used to buy such investments. Irby used investors' money to pay for some of his personal expenses and to pay earlier investors.

Kelly G Rogers gives Samuel "Mouli" Cohen a run for his money as King of the Fraudsters

Move over Samuel "Mouli" Cohen, here comes Kelly G Rogers!  

San Francisco entrepreneur Samuel "Mouli" Cohen starts an internet music company and fraudulently takes in $31 million from celebrities, investors, and a charity dedicated to help the poor.

He claims they will make a fortune when his company is sold to Microsoft. But there is no deal.

The millions go to fund his opulent mansion, a private jet, and a priceless art collection.

When his scam is revealed investors find out the mansion and jet are rented and the artwork is fake. They were all part of his lies.

Sounds very familiar. Rogers had a plan. Rogers rents a big house. Rogers had the art work. Rogers was a diamond in the Amway. Rogers  business and a big shot.

"In court, the judge says it straight out; in more than 40 years in the criminal justice system, he's never seen a con man like Mouli Cohen". 

Just wait until October 21st. Kelly G Rogers could give Mouli Cohen a run for his reputation.
