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.

Team Dean continues to clean Kelly Rogers Clock!

 

Kelly G Rogers and Carrie S. Rogers continues to get their clock cleaned in civil case 366-00485-2010, Bradley Dean v. Land And Mineral Corporation. 

According to the Bankruptcy records, Kelly G Rogers listed Carrie S. Rogers as the owner of Land and Minerals Corporation and himself as the President. However, actual ownership has become unclear as Kelly G Rogers has contradicted himself in statements provided to the court.  

But on Thursday, October 11th, the Honorable Judge Ray Wheless granted Plaintiff Brad Dean's Motion to Compel Records from BOKF, N.A. d/b/a Bank of Texas (According to the Collin County Website).

Oh-O! 

Apparently, these are the financial records Kelly G Rogers has been hesitant to turn over for one reason or another. Hmmm...that sounds fishy in itself. 

So what does it mean now that he's been ordered by Judge Wheless to turn over the books? (You can read motion by clicking to the Collin County link and looking up Rogers, Kelly). 

Is the jig is now up? Maybe now Team Dean will get the truthful answers to; 

• Who really owns Land and Minerals Corporation?
• Where did Bradley Dean's money go? 
• Did Rogers use Dean's funds to pay off other investors or personal bills? 
• Would that make Land and Minerals Corporation another Ponzi Scheme similar to level par? 
• Since Rogers has already been busted by the SEC, would this further incriminate him as a primary Ponzi facilitator?
• Has Rogers co-mingling corporate funds?
• Is Kelly G Rogers running a "Control Group" of corporations to avoid paying taxes? 
• Will the Dean team succeed in pierce the corporate veil?  
• Is Rogers paying his rent to George Shipp directly from Land and Minerals Corporation?

Anyone see other answers coming out of the Bank of Texas records?

Bradley Dean vs. Land and Minerals/Kelly Gordon Rogers/Carrie S. Rogers

According to the Collin County website, Bradley Dean has retained James Skinner as lead attorney in his case against Land and Minerals Corporation and Carrie Rogers.

To find this information, simply go to Collin County Courts Records Inquiry and click on "Civil and Family Case Records" and enter the case 366-00485-2010.
The Bradley Dean case is stereo-typical of a Kelly G Rogers deal.  You end up getting to know Kelly Rogers from church, the local community or a friend of a friend. You think he's sharp and impressive. One day, he contacts you with this fantastic opportunity. He has a scheme, he comes  out and pitches it and it sounds really good...so you invest.

However, over time, you begin to notice that NOTHING he promised in the original pitch is working out. You begin to ask questions and eventually it hit you up side the head--this deal is a scam. You scramble to get your money---only to find that it's long gone.

You file a lawsuit, hire expense attorney's and eventually run out of money pursuing justice. In the meantime, Kelly G Rogers represents himself or Carrie S. Rogers (often he puts an entity in his wife's name) at no cost. He simply drags out the process until you give up or run out of money. Cunning. Calculated. Crook.

Could Rogers have met his match? Possibly. According to the Collin County Court Records, Bradley Dean has retained James Skinner. Here's an impressive attorney.

Jim Skinner is a twenty-two-year law enforcement veteran who retired in June 1998 as Chief Investigator for New Mexico’s Ninth Judicial District Attorney’s Office after extensive training and accumulated years of experience in narcotics enforcement, complex white collar crime, public corruption, violent crime, and homicide investigations.

After receiving his Juris Doctorate from the University of Houston Law Center in 2001, Mr. Skinner worked as a complex civil litigator in Dallas before becoming an Assistant District Attorney and Special Prosecutor for the Collin County Criminal District Attorney’s Office.

Mr. Skinner entered the private sector in 2008, where he consulted for complex civil litigators and corporate entities on the discovery and investigation of financially motivated criminal activity.

Mr. Skinner graduated from the FBI’s Narcotics Related Financial Investigative Techniques Training Program and the DEA’s Basic Narcotics/Dangerous Drug Enforcement School and worked as the Eastern New Mexico Narcotics Task Force Coordinator, conducting undercover and counter-drug intelligence operations throughout New Mexico with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners.

Mr. Skinner is a graduate of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Fraud and Financial Investigations Training Program, the Advanced White Collar Crime Training Program, the Telecommunications Fraud Training Program, MCTFT’s International Money Laundering Training, and numerous other programs related to the discovery and investigation of complex financial crime and organized criminal activity.

Mr. Skinner was featured in the August 1996 Reader’s Digest article “To Catch Three Thieves,” which detailed Mr. Skinner’s actions in bringing to justice three men who stole over $58M from senior citizens throughout the United States and Canada by illegal telemarketing scams.

Well Mr. Skinner...you have your work cut out for you today as you pursue Kelly G Rogers. Go get em!

Update: State of Texas v. Kelly G. Rogers

This time it's different.

This time it would appear the trial of Kelly G. Rogers will proceed with a pretrial conference on December 7th and the trial scheduled on December 12, 2011.

This time an agenda has accompanied the subpoenas sent to SEVEN individuals who will testify against the actions of Kelly G. Rogers. These agendas have never been forwarded with previous subpoenas so something is different this time around.

John Charles Hardin will face off against the DA's office to see who can prove their point.

Can Hardin convince anyone that $435,000 taken from the company was some type of compensation for Kelly Rogers hard work? Or will the DA prove it's just another investment scheme propagated by Rogers Ala:  Rio Grande Coal Mine, LLC v Kelly Rogers, Carrie Rogers, Bradley Dean v. Land and Minerals Corporation, Series C LLP v. Kelly G Rogers, Bill Thompson v. Kelly Gordon Rogers,   SEC v. Kelly G Rogers, etc.

Stay tuned.

Rio Grande Coal Mine, LLC v Kelly Rogers, Carrie Rogers Re-opened

Rio Grande Coal Mine Lawsuit reopened against 
Kelly G Rogers and  Carrie S Rogers

According to the Collin County website, the case 219-02195-2008 has been reopened. Rio Grande Coal Mine, LLC, Kent Loehrke, Raul Sanchez, Peggy Wade, Eric Wade, Tom Haas, Christian Litscher vs. Kelly G Rogers, Carrie S Rogers.

The original lawsuit was filed on July 28th, 2008 and the plaintiff's filed a First Amend Status Report & Req Special Jury Trial Setting. However, in the middle of all this, Rogers filed bankruptcy on July 27th, 2010 and the entire process was placed on hold with an automatic stay. The bankruptcy judge approved the Kelly G Rogers Chapter 11 reorganization on May 24th, 2010 but Rogers failed to meet the terms of his agreement and the status of the bankruptcy was changed to Chapter 7. Carrie Rogers was not included in the bankruptcy filing.

On September 7th, 2010, the Bank of Texas foreclosed on the Rogers home at 8 Riva Ridge, Frisco, TX and kicked the Rogers out of the home. They now rent a home located right by Rogers old partner, Richard Weyand, in the same Frisco neighborhood as the old home.

After all this turmoil, the Collin County website would indicate these cases have been given the green light to move forward.

Citi Bank sues Carrie Rogers

CITI BANK SUES CARRIE ROGERS

Carrie S. Rogers, wife of indicted Kelly G Rogers, has been sued--again. The Rogers are residents of Frisco Texas. Evicted from their home due to Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they now live kiddie corner from their old partner, Richard Weyand.

Kelly Rogers' not fulfilling his bankruptcy committment

A notice of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy hearing has been scheduled for September 27th, 2010 in the case of Kelly G. Rogers. The notice was sent out by the United States bankruptcy trustee who has filed a motion in the Kelly Rogers' bankruptcy to either dismiss the bankruptcy all together, or convert to liquidation under Chapter 7.

This is significant because the original filing by Kelly G Rogers was Chapter 11 reorganization. It required that Rogers' sell his home by July 30th, 2010 and pay the Bank of Texas their $1,728,278 and the Thompson Creditors $180,000. However, the home at 8 Riva Ridge was taken off the market on June 17th, 2010. Did they give up? Only they know.

Additionally, Rogers listed his monthly income (according to Federal Bankruptcy paperwork) as $23,759 for Kelly G Rogers and $31,750 for Carrie S. Rogers. With a combined monthly income of $55,509, Rogers' has failed to pay fees to the trustee and has failed to file operating reports to the trustee. Therefore, this will be a very interesting proceeding to determine whether Kelly Rogers shall be removed from Bankruptcy protection or if a total liquidation is ordered under Chapter 7.

There is a hearing set for 2 p.m. on September the 27th, 2010 at the following location; 2000 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, TX 75074. The Bankruptcy Trustee is Linda S. Payne will be presiding.

Kelly Rogers pins hope on Lawyer John C. Hardin

In checking the Collin County website, I noticed that Kelly Rogers will rely on John Charles Hardin as his defense lawyer in his July 19th trial. At issue will be Mr. Rogers indictment concerning the "Misapplication of fiduciary property" amounting to $435,355. The indictment details the transfer of money from Lion-heart Energy to his personal account, QBiz, Rio Grande Coal, Pool Environments, Superior Soils, GS Investors, TNT Office Supply and Cash. This is a Felony 1 indictment and Rogers could face jail time.

Rogers is hoping the retirement of John Roach as Collin County District Attorney will put him on the fast track to freedom. It's rumored that Rogers was overheard discussing his indictment and pointed out that a "Lifelong Friend" was about to become the DA and he'll finally be able to put this entire "conspiracy" in the past. In checking the primary election results, one can only assume that "Friend" would be Greg Willis who won the primary handily over Jeff Bray. Even more bothersome is the fact that John Charles Hardin openly endorsed Greg Willis in a published webpage. Here's a link (go to bottom of page and you'll see the bar to scroll across) for you to view. So you can only imagine what could happen from here.

Given this arrogance towards his past actions, one can only wonder if the criminal justice system in Texas would be so politically driven that it would change direction at a drop of a hat. In this "Culture of Corruption" would an incoming DA overlook the string of lawsuits that outline in detail; the multitude of investments gone bad, the 70 creditors owned $4.6 million, the SEC lawsuit over the Level Par Ponzi scheme, the money removed from businesses and invested for Rogers personal gain, the taking of company funds to purchase a swimming pool...all while he shows not a single shred of remorse towards his "victims" who lost everything?

I challenge the DA's office to complete this trial before the November elections so there is NO
CHANCE that justice will not be served. I challenge the DA to push forward, bring all the evidence from the various scams Rogers perpetrated so these investors can finally have the peace of mind.

Justice must be served. Put this man in jail, take away his freedom and let him think about what he's done to others while sitting in his orange jump suit. Let him lose his house through the Chapter 7 liquidation he's facing in his bankruptcy proceedings. Many have suffered at his hands and lost everything. Many were forced to filed bankruptcy, lost friendships and lost entire careers due to his actions.

And Rogers attitude towards the entire episode? Screw them, I'm moving on with my life, tuff luck, they approached me, it's a conspiracy.... hey, I'm the victim here?!

Yes, justice needs to be served so we can finally enjoy a good night sleep knowing Kelly G Rogers bully tactics didn't get him what he wanted this time around. Yes, justice needs to be served to Kelly Rogers.

Kelly and Carrie Rogers lower sale price for the THIRD TIME!

Kelly and Carrie Rogers have one again lowered the sale price of their 8 Riva Ridge home. Originally offered at $3.2 Million back in December,  it was quickly lowered to $2.999 MM, then $2.4 MM and now $2.25 Million. The listing is still being offered by the Jan Richey team.

A quick check on Zillo shows the 11,826 square foot home worth an estimated $805,500. I'm sure it does not take into account the additions. But it's curious that it shows the home sold on 2/7/2008 but does not list the amount. The neighboring home at 7 Riva Ridge is a 12,249 square foot compound that listed at $2,399,999. This home’s been on Zillo for 467 days and shows an estimated value of $1,838,000. In light of the days on the market, it would appear that both homes are grossly overpriced.

The pricing of this home, relative to its valuation and the ensuing lack of sales results are haunting similarity to the outcome most experienced when investing in one of Kelly G Rogers’s opportunities. One distinction this time around; unlike in the past where Rogers was the only one who make money, it appears this time Rogers will join those who ended up losing everything. I'm sure the 70 creditors who are owed $4.6 million in debt will continue to watch this situation, along with his bankruptcy proceedings, very closely.

Kelly & Carrie Rogers Lower Sale Price of Home

Kelly G Rogers and Carrie S Rogers have lowed the selling price of their home at 8 Riva Ridge in Frisco, Texas. The new selling price is now $2,999,000, reduced from $3,200,000. The listing agent is the "Jan Richey Team".

According to Zillo, this 10,675 square foot home at 8 Riva Ridge has a value range of between $534,750-$727,260, with a current value of $713,000...which seems very low. In comparison, the home at 7 Riva Ridge is a 12,081 square foot home that's been on Zillo for 340 days (which means it's been overpriced and everyone knows it) is valued between $1,168,805 to $1,509,090. It has a current Zillo value of $1,479,500 and is listed at $2,499,900. So it appears in the midst of this  economic downturn, the Rogers are in no hurry to sell this home at a listing price of $2,999,000.

Interestingly, this home has been at the epicenter of the problems created for Kelly and Carrie Rogers. You could call it the "Contributing Factor". For example, in the "Thompson " lawsuit, investors claim; ...although it is undisputed that the $180,000 received from the operator was the property of the company, Rogers testified that he "borrowed" the $180,000 for his personal use. According to Rogers, the $180,000 was used for home improvement. To date, Rogers has provided no promissory note or other evidence that he "borrowed" the money. Further, Rogers has so far repaid none of the money.

And in the State of Texas v Kelly Rogers’s indictment, the State identified transfers from the Lionheart Energy LLC checking account; specific monetary transactions described in the indictment for misapplication of fiduciary property as follows;

• Check #992 to Pool Environments on 3/11/2005 = $26,661.00

• Check #998 to Pool Environments on 3/29/2005 = $30,000.00

The Rogers' make the claim that the inability to refinance the $1,200,000 construction loan that matured in February of 2009 resulted in the bankruptcy filing of Kelly G Rogers on July 27th of 2009. However, apparently it didn't wipe out Carrie S Rogers because she was not included in the bankruptcy filing. Yet in the papers filed on 12/4/2009, it states; Unfortunately, the cost of the home exeeded $1,800,000, wiped out all the Rogers' available cash and life savings, caused even more indebtedness, and the home is still not finished. It did say Rogers', didn't it?

In the end, it boiled down to the "Big Dream" home that finally sunk the Amway Dream Machine.
