Texas Attorney Kelly G Rogers indicted for Role 

in Oil & Gas Scam 

Lawyers Gone Wild Series

In May 2012, Kelly G. Rogers, a Texas attorney specializing in oil and gas, was indicted by the state for stealing $2.8 million from people he persuaded to invest in a company called Falcon Energy.  He was charged with money laundering, theft of property, and securities fraud.

Look Who's Associating with Kelly G. Rogers

You have to ask yourself, why on earth would anyone still associate with a user like Kelly G Rogers? Especially when you consider the saying; You're truly judged by the company you keep!

But apparently, the following people never got that memo.

Check out the names below and website that links them all together. It says it was "updated on November 10, 2012". So is everyone still associated with a seven time indicted ponzi schemer?

We welcome and will publish any and all comments as a live thread to help those clear their good name if need be. 

Land and Minerals Corporation:  This one is interesting! (Click on the photo's for a larger image). I think we know the full story here. Kelly Rogers insisting that Carrie owned Land and Minerals Corporation so he could file bankruptcy and steer the trustee clear of touching his cash cow. Yet, I don't see Carrie's name listed below? What's up with that?

Legacy Christian Academy:     Jay Allison, Curt Welwood, Roland Burns, Bill Dearien, Robert Copple. How on earth can anyone welcome a wolf in sheep's clothing into their flock of sheep and not expect a train-wreck of an ending? I though I had received an email from Legacy saying they no longer have Kelly on the board, yet this website says it was recently updated.

Bsh 103 Texas LLC:  6756 NORTHAVEN RD,DALLAS, TX  75230. Texas LLC, Not in good standing. 3 year old.  Floyd Donald Drake III is the Registered Agent. Company is 3 years and 11 months old. Amon Mahon, Ryan Johnston, Bobby Zache, Bruce Johnston, Floyd Drake and  Corey Smith. So what the heck is this? My guess is it's an old deal gone bad and those who invested lost their money.

CS Investment Group:     William C. Wikerson. Anyone ever heard of this entity?

Liberty Institute: Dale A. Brown, Mark Cover, Kelly Shackleford, Al Angell, Cindy Asche, Archer Bonnema, Deborah Carlson, Bill Crocker, Linda Flower, Paul Pressler, James Robertson, W.W. Caruth, Tim Dunn, Mark Swafford. Can a political organization afford to associate with someone like Kelly Rogers? I could see the TV ads that would blindside a candidate...why is Paul Ryan affiliated with a SEVEN time indicted attorney from Frisco, TX? Game over, end of campaign and political career.  

Kelly Rogers: Here's a list you don't want to be on.

Judge Rusch loses patience with Kelly G Rogers

Kelly G Rogers of Frisco made his second appearance on Friday  in the 401^st District court of Texas. Appearing before the Honorable Mark Rusch, it didn’t take long for Rogers to push the Judges buttons.

The Judge began by asking both parties to approach the bench.

The Judge then pointed out that Kelly G Rogers of Frisco, TX was to appear with an attorney. Mr. Rogers said he’d called 12 law firms and each wanted a retainer of $75,000 to $300,000 upfront. He said he didn’t have that kind of money.

Judge Rusch then asked for Rogers to provide a list of lawyers contacted.

A retainer is smart move considering that contained in Rogers July 2009 bankruptcy filing, he listed owing Scheef & Stone LLP $77,934 and Fitch & Richardson PC for $28,263.

Rogers told the Judge he took the Judges advice and got a job. He didn’t say where but said he was earning $12,000 per month.  Does anyone know who has hired this man?

Rogers also indicated that he was waiting on a “Deal” to close. While we’re not sure what kind of “Deal”, the best we can tell he’s doing two other things in the background. 

First, supposedly he's purchasing oil and gas leases at low prices and selling them high. This sounds like the “Land and Minerals” operation that Bradley Dean is suing him over.

Second, it appears he has a legal client he's representing and he thinks a settlement is forthcoming. Supposedly the income produced by one or both of these deals will net Rogers between $325,000-$600,000. 

However, consider the source. This from a man who filed documents saying his home in Frisco was worth $2.8 million and had it listed for $3.2 Million. Eventually it was foreclosed on by the bank who paid $1.4 million and resold for less than $2.0.   

Also from the man who filed bankruptcy paperwork saying he was making $30,000 a month and Carrie $45,000. In reality, we heard Rogers never made a single payment on him Chapter 13 agreement which caused the trustee to convert the bankruptcy to a Chapter 7. 

Anyways, at this point Judge Rusch was clearly perturbed at Rogers for appearing without representation. He now comments that he has some 1,600 cases in his docket and the fact that this case ends with “09” is extremely troubling to him. He said he’s sat on this bench for some 26 years and seen his share of “Con-men” come and go through his court.

He now put his thumb and index finger almost together and said something to the effect of; You are this close to forcing me to take some drastic action. The Judge went on to say that Rogers is indicted on SEVEN FIRST DEGREE FELONIES, each carry a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 99 years to life penalty.  Further, it was up to HIS digression as to whether they run concurrently or consecutively. 

Given consecutively, Rogers would spend a minimum of 35 years and a maximum of 7 life sentences or the rest of his life in jail if convicted. 

The Judge then instructed Rogers that he was going to schedule another date between January 14^thand the 21^st (Officially scheduled for January 18th @ 9 am) and he’d better appear with an attorney or the Judge would put him in jail until his trial begins. 

I’d say this Judge has read Kelly G Rogers for who he really is…

One Crook reelected, will the other go down?

After four years of liberal engineering, irresponsible spending, distortions, an adorning media, four dead Americans from a terrorist attack (yet to be explained), the great messiah of the political world has somehow won reelection.

Garnering a coalition of takers, Santa Clause delivers free stuff in the final year leading up to the election.

Via freebies, Santa was successful in motivating 93% of Blacks, 71% of Hispanics, young people, gays and lesbians and single women (who's main focus was apparently Sex and Vagina related issues like free abortions and birth control) to deliver the votes needed to end an amazing run of 236 years of a free America.  

I can't say this is totally unexpected from a guy who received a Nobel Peace Prize by just getting elected! Give me a break.

News flash everyone; if you want to put people on the government dole, hire a community organizer. If you want to expanding the economy and jobs creation, hire a job creator.

But that's not how this coalition of morons voted. And the consequences are already beginning to be felt. Companies of all sizes are beginning to announce layoffs in advance of full socialism kicking in for 2013.

Hopefully, the morons will begin to lose their jobs.

And speaking of morons, let's shift our attention to Kelly G Rogers and Carrie S. Rogers.  Indicted SEVEN times since 2009, does Rogers' really understand the hole he's dug for he and Carrie?

Let's pop some popcorn, pull up a chair and enjoy next weeks court date as the Rogers begin to be outed as the "alleged" crooks that investors have accused them of being. But are they really cheats? Time and evidence will tell.

If everyone will continue to comment on this blog your thoughts and information, we will continue to provide a front row seat as the story unfold over the next 12  months.

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?

Kelly G Rogers moves furniture from home

Oil and Gas investor extraordinaire, Kelly G Rogers was spotted moving furniture from his rental home in Frisco Texas last Saturday.

Speculation initially gauged it as moving the kids back to college. However, unless the kids are taking the expensive and rickety antique dinning room set, something else must be up.

Upon further speculation, they're either selling off furniture to pay for a new attorney (since his last one quit), they're moving to another location OR Kelly's preparing for the event that he's going to jail and his Carrie S Rogers and kids need to move. 

If I had to wager a guess, I'd say they're selling stuff at top dollar to buy an attorney before word gets out that he's done some dirty deeds and he's desperate for cash. Then, the price will be at fire sale levels. 

Remember, if he chooses to show up for the September 7th court date without an attorney, he'll either be assigned a public defender or have to go it Pro Se or representing himself. This judge looks to have had enough of this guys crap. Time for Kelly G Rogers to put up or shut up. 

Kelly G Rogers Makes Court Appearance

In the words of Bob Seger's song, Let it Rock: "In the heat of the day, down in mobile, Alabama, Workin’ on the railroad with a steel drivin’ hammer".

And the "Steel Drivin" Hammer' in Kelly G Rogers' life is the trio of Jim Skinner, Michael F. Pezzulli and Texas State Securities Commission's Dale Barrow who are beginning to crash down on Rogers freedom.

Yesterday's court appearance was a good day for our "Law Dream Team" and a bad day for the criminal, Kelly G Rogers. Of coarse, all people are Innocent until proven guilty.

According to the Collin County Website, it seems that the Texas State Securities Commission has taken over the prosecution of all the actions filed by indictment. This would include all SEVEN actions starting with the 2009 indictment--3808160009, the FIVE from May 1st, 2012 and the one from June 20th, 2012.

Like SEVEN gold medals hanging around Micheal Phelps neck, this is a fine achievement for any businessman who's on the fast track to wealth creation.

Yesterday was Kelly G Rogers first appearance for many of the recent indictments and it was a really bad day for him in court.

First, his lawyer John Charles Hardin resigned. According to the Collin County Site under Kelly G Rogers, case #3808160009 (second page) on 8/2/2012 the court "Granting the motion to withdraw as the attorney of record". Smart man. 

Second, presiding District Judge of the 380th District Court R. Davis put the hammer down on Rogers who once again showed up without council in hopes of delaying the inevitable...again.

His ruling; "Reset in 30 days for counsel and if counsel not retained, then proceed with appointment of attorney or Pro-Se and set for Trial by December1, 2012. Judge R. Davis. 

As I read it, the Judge is saying that Kelly G Rogers Frisco has had ample time to hire an attorney and prepare. You show up next time with a lawyer or the court will assign a public defender and we're going to trial NO LATER THAN December 1, 2012. 

Merry Christmas everyone! Next appearance on September 7th at 9:00 am.  

Kelly G Rogers--Arrested for a FOURTH Time!

Kelly G Rogers Frisco Indicted for 7th Felony

Oh bummer-- for Kelly G Rogers of Frisco Texas as he was arrested again today. While most of us are looking forward to the Independence day holiday on Wednesday, Kelly G Rogers Frisco must be thinking about when and how this is all going to end. 

Will he be looking forward to some serious time in the slammer? Time will tell.

According to our count, this is the EIGHTH Felony-one indictments issued by the State. While the first was issued Collin County DA's office, the other SEVEN have been pouring out of the Texas State Securities Board like sweat flowing out of someone working outdoors on a hot and humid day.

By the way, we routinely locate this warrant and inmate information at the Collin County Sheriff's website. On Friday mornings you can look under the "Active Warrant List" to find Kelly G Rogers name. If he appears in this section, then shift over to the "Current Inmate List" to find our Attorney friend.

The Texas State Securities Commission is a strict and harsh agency when it comes to corruption. In the case of William Seelye, who bilked $400,000 out of investors in an Oil and Gas scheme, he got the following--quoting from Texas District & County Attorneys Association site : 

"Prosecutors offered Seelye a plea bargain involving a 50-year sentence early in the case, and the offer stood until trial. Seelye did not accept this offer, and he was ultimately convicted at trial and sentenced by a jury to serve 99 years in prison".

Kelly G Rogers Score Card 

Bradley Dean v Land & Minerials Corp, Kelly G Rogers and Carrie Rogers Frisco UPDATE

According to Collin County Court records, Carrie Rogers Frisco has hired the services of Craig M. Price as council for Bradley Dean's lawsuit.

As way of background;

On February 2nd, 2009, Kelly and Carrie Rogers enter into an agreement with Timothy Woods of Series C, LP to borrow $125,000 to be paid back by May 1, 2009.

Seven days later on February 9th, 2009,  Kelly G Rogers acting as President of Land and Minerals Corporation (LMC), signs a joint venture agreement with Bradley Dean to invest $102,000. Dean was due $122,000 by March 20th.
 
At this point Kelly G Rogers failed to disclose he'd been sued by the SEC and agreed to a $153,000 final settlement. He also failed to disclose he was being sued by multiple investors over other deals.  

On February 10th, 2009, Dean wires $102,000 to LMC but Kelly G Rogers calls an audible and immediately wires $193,618 to a bank account for Series C, LP in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Unknown to Dean, from March 13th to April 13, four contractors doing remodeling work on Rogers home file M/L affidavits against the 8 Riva Ridge home for unpaid bills totaling $196,372.

Combine the $196,372 to the $247,000 (Series C + Dean) and Rogers now owes $521,372 by May 1st. Rogers will go one to file personal Chapter 11 on July 27th, 2009. 

In the August 3rd, 2009 Section 341 bankruptcy meeting transcript, Kelly G Rogers testified that Carrie owned LMC. The LAST thing he wants is to have LMC ownership be tied to him. He repeats this claim at an August 25th, 2009 deposition, where Kelly testifies that Carrie owns LMC and he was President.

But suddenly, in a May 12th, 2010  motion filed by Kelly (acting as legal representative for his wife Carrie), Carrie swears that she had NEVER had ownership interest in LMC. But the best part; at an April 3rd, 2012 evidentiary hearing,  Kelly contradicts his Section 341 and August 25th, 2009 deposition testimony and stated that his wife, Carrie, owned NO interest in LMC and that " the actual ownership of the corporation is in a trust. That trust is managed by Carrie Rogers, my wife."

Bring in Craig M.Price to save the day.



Craig is an aggressive trial lawyer who possesses the rare combination of experience in both criminal and civil cases. His many jury trials have included business disputes, malpractice and personal injury cases as well as felony and misdemeanor criminal cases.

During his two decades of practice, he has recovered for his clients millions of dollars that have been embezzled by former employees, represented businesses in contractual disputes, defended physicians in malpractice actions, settled disputes for numerous family-owned companies, represented clients in software and contract disputes, assisted governmental entities and property owners on condemnation matters, prosecuted and defended deceptive trade practice actions for consumers and business owners, and represented insureds and insurers in disputes over policy coverage and benefits.

He also has handled numerous appeals, and he is an experienced mediator. In his criminal defense work, he has defended clients accused of DWI, family violence, sexual assault and a host of other felony and misdemeanor matters.

Good luck on this one Craig!

Kelly G Rogers, Land & Mineral Corp & Bradley Dean

William Seelye told investors he was a successful oilman in the classic Texas mold. A regular J.R. Ewing.

So did Kelly G Rogers.

Using investor funds as working capital, he was reportedly able to deliver significant returns through drilling or reworking wells throughout Texas and Oklahoma. Investors anted up more than $400,000, but their monies often didn’t make it to the oilfield.

Seelye instead used their funds to make payments to his mortgage and credit card companies and to sustain his lifestyle. Not surprisingly, his oil drilling program turned out to consist mostly of phantom projects and low-producing wells.

In Williams Seelye's case, the only return on investment was a 99-year state prison sentence, which was secured in a Collin County courtroom in 2010 by the Texas State Securities Board.

Now comes Kelly G Rogers where investors anted up $2,800,000.

Bradley Dean was told Land and Minerals Corporation would buy royalty interests, package it with other interests and sell them with his $102,000 investment. Rogers told Dean he would return $122,000 within six weeks of the investment. Dean signed a JV Agreement and forwarded his money on February 2nd, 2009.

But his money never purchased any royalty interests.

Instead, Kelly G Rogers wired $193,618 to a bank account for Series C, LP in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the same day Dean wired his money. No royalty interest, no packaging it with other interests and no sales.

What will be the return on investment for Kelly G Rogers for his part?

Background Information

On February 2nd, 2009, Kelly and Carrie Rogers enter into an agreement with Timothy Woods of Series C, LP to borrow $125,000 (at no interest) to be paid back by May 1, 2009.

Seven days later on February 9th, 2009,  Kelly G Rogers acting as President of Land and Minerals Corporation (LMC), signs a joint venture agreement with Bradley Dean to invest $102,000. Dean was due $122,000 by March 20th.

If you're keeping score, Rogers in now obligated for $247,000 by May 1st, 2009.

At this point Kelly G Rogers failed to disclose he'd been sued by the SEC and agreed to a $153,000 final settlement. Additionally, he failed to disclose he was being sued by multiple investors over other deals.  

Apparently you're required to follow disclosure protocols established by the State Securities Commission of Texas. Oops! You'd think a smart like Rogers could figure that out.

Back to Dean. On February 10th, 2009, Dean wires $102,000 to LMC but Kelly G Rogers calls an audible and immediately wires $193,618 to a bank account for Series C, LP in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Unknown to Dean, from March 13th to April 13, four contractors doing remodeling work on Rogers home file M/L affidavits against the 8 Riva Ridge home for unpaid bills totaling $196,372.

Combine the $196,372 to the $247,000 (Series C + Dean) and Rogers now owes $521,372 by May 1st. Rogers will go one to file personal Chapter 11 on July 27th, 2009.

Someone is Lying

In the August 3rd, 2009 Section 341 bankruptcy meeting transcript, Kelly G Rogers testified that Carrie owned LMC. The LAST thing he wants is to have LMC ownership be tied to him.

He repeats this claim at an August 25th, 2009 deposition, where Kelly testifies that Carrie owns LMC and he was President.

But suddenly, in a May 12th, 2010  motion filed by Kelly (acting as legal representative for his wife Carrie), Carrie swears that she had NEVER had ownership interest in LMC. What????

But the best part; at an April 3rd, 2012 evidentiary hearing,  Kelly contradicts his Section 341 and August 25th, 2009 deposition testimony and stated that his wife, Carrie, owned NO interest in LMC and that "the actual ownership of the corporation is in a trust. That trust is managed by Carrie Rogers, my wife."

So draw your own conclusions but it looks like they're trying to manipulate the ownership to best protect their earnings from those investors who were owed money. And throw in the fact the LMC entity was forfeited on July 30th, 2010 by the Texas Secretary of State for failure to pay franchise taxes. 

Now the Rogers have some real jeopardy-- no corporate veil of liability protection of corporate officers...it's now all personal liability.

Fraud

So the logical assumption as to why Kelly insisted Carrie owned LMC back in 2009 is simple. Theoretically LMC was making $35k a month (as reported in the bankruptcy filing) and Kelly was filing chapter 11 and wanted to repay his debt from this income.  He didn't want Carrie to declare bankruptcy--so he said she owned it to keep it out of the bankruptcy estate.

But when he failed to pay Bradley Dean the $122,000 owed,  it now became a problem to have Carrie the owner of LMC because FRAUD allows for the piercing of the corporate veil and Dean could now get to Carrie personally.

Best of all, Kelly was the attorney that put together Carrie's May 12th, 2010 affidavit where Carrie said she was NOT the owner despite his SWORN testimony.

We've know for a long time that Kelly G Rogers was a pathological liar and now its been nicely documented and packaged up into five felony indictments.

Illegal Actions 

 "Kelly G Rogers swindled Dean out of $102,000 with false promises that he and Land and Minerals would pay Dean $122,000 by March 20, 2009. But Rogers and the company simply wired the money to Series C LP in Oklahoma. No evidence indicates that they bought anything or tried to perform on the Joint Venture contract. The company never made a substantial payment to Dean. Judging from the nature of the description of other creditors' motions and objections on the Court's docket sheet, Rogers swindled others as well. On February 1, 2012, the Chapter 7 Trustee found that there were no non-exempt assets for distribution".

"On Friday, May 4, 2012, state authorities arrested Rogers on multiple felony counts, including two counts of theft of property (over $200,000), fraud (in which he obtained over $1,000,000), obtaining over $1,300,000 by deception (including $102,000 from Dean), and another count of obtaining over $200,000 by deception. On the same day, Rogers posted--or arranged for the posting--of a $250,000 bond." 

Bradley Dean Expands Lawsuit against Kelly & Carrie Rogers

Bradley Dean has expanded his lawsuit against Kelly G. Rogers and Carrie S. Rogers.

Based on the Collin County Courts Records Inquiry if you enter "Civil and Family Case Records" and enter Rogers, Carrie it takes you to the files. Click on the second to the last and you'll find it. It now reads;

Bradley Dean v. Land And Mineral Corporation, Carrie Rogers, Kelly G Rogers, Series C, L.P.,  LMC Financing, L.L.C., Kelly G Rogers as Trustee of the Kelly Rogers Family Trust, and Carrie Rogers as Trustee of the Kelly Rogers Family Trust. 

A couple of events worth noting. First, Bradley Dean filed a motion and it was granted on April 9tth, 2011 disqualify Kelly G. Rogers as the attorney for his wife. Now he's named in the suit and will have to hire and  pay someone real money to represent him.

Second, the Judge granted plaintiff Bradley Dean's motions to reconsider an order dismissing claims against Carrie Rogers. So the Judge is not going to dismiss the suit as requested by Kelly G. Rogers. That's good if you're someone who's interested in getting to the bottom of what Kelly and Carrie did with the money Bradley Dean invested with them or how the Rogers found the money to arrange moving back into their 8 Riva Ridge home in Frisco, Texas. 

Third, the case has been radically expanded beyond the investment entity of Land and Mineral Corporation and Carrie Rogers. It now include Kelly G Rogers (subject of this blog), Series C, LP, and LMC Financing, LLC. Introducing a new entity to the Kelly G Rogers Report; LMC Financing, LLC.

LMC Financing, LLC? Chances are, it stands for Larry, Moe and Curly Financing! We've never heard of this entity before.

So the case moves forward. Citations were issued on April 10th, 2012 and were served and returned from Series C, L.P., LMC Financing, L.L.C., Kelly G. Rogers and Carrie Rogers.

Also on April 10th, 2012, Plaintiff Bradley Dean's filed his third amended petition. When this petition becomes public we'll break it down for you.

I'm sure it'll provide more details as to what this case is all about. Until then....

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!

Master of deception--Kelly Gordon Rogers

Does Kelly G Rogers speak with forked tongue? More importantly, is he a master of deception? This is an excellent question and one that's been discussed often among those who've lost money or been involved with Kelly Rogers. After all, how else can you explain why one person ends up being indicted, sued by multiple investor groups, disliked by so many......all the while claiming that somehow he's a "victim" of a vast right wing conspiracy...a plot of some type.

The short answer to this question can be found on the professional networking site called Linkedin. This is the site used to discover his involvement in the "Takedown Group" and "Land and Minerals Corporation" and a host of other corporation.  Recently, we conducted a search for "Kelly Gordon Rogers" and found 4 different profiles. First, Kelly Rogers; President at Land and Mineral Corporation of Dallas, TX. Second, we found Kelly Rogers; Law Terms and Legal Definitions in the Greater New York City Area. Third, we found Kelly G Rogers Kelly Gordon Rogers; Legal definitions in Houston, Texas. Fourth, Kelly Rogers Dallas Kelly Gordon Texas; Lawyer Kelly Rogers in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Hmmmmmm, Dallas, Houston, New York and Los Angeles? The master of deception?

This information was turned over the General Counsel for Linkedin as a violation of the User Agreement as published by the company. In response; "We have received your inquiry regarding profiles belonging to Kelly Rogers on LinkedIn. We are currently reviewing the profiles in question and will take the appropriate actions upon them. Please note, per privacy reasons, we are unable to disclose further details regarding actions taken upon the accounts”.

Our guess is that these profiles are an attempt to deluge the internet with misleading Kelly G Rogers’s propaganda so the truthful site that discuss his indictment, lawsuits and bankruptcies are hidden to the general public. When attempting to pursuade someone to invest in one of his finanical schemes, the last thing he wants is to have any information about his real life available for all to see.

And as evidence to support these deceptions, Mr. Rogers evoked the cooperation of a convicted felon assigned to harass and intimidate individuals related to cases against Kelly G Rogers. These activities were abruptly halted after phone calls were placed to the Collin County District Attorney's office to report what was happening. No one knows exactly what happened from there but the campaign came to an abrupt halt.

And were happy to report that Linkedin has enforced their user agreements to the extent that the deceptive profile pages have been removed from the site. Chalk one up for the good guys!

These are just a few of the bazaar events taking place in the day to day operations of our subject. Master of deception? You draw your own conclusions.
