Jury Trial Scheduled in Bradley Dean v. Land And Mineral Corporation

According to the Collin County website, a jury trial date has been set for September 16th, 2013 at 9:00 am. 

This is the case #366-00485-2010; Bradley Dean v. Land And Mineral Corporation, Carrie Rogers, Kelly G Rogers, Series C, L.P., LMC Financing, L.L.C., Kelly G Rogers, Carrie Rogers.

The Bradley Dean case is stereo-typical of a Kelly G Rogers deal. 

You initially meet and get to know Kelly Rogers from church, the local community or a friend of a friend. You think he's sharp. Impressive. One day he reaches out, contacts you with this fantastic opportunity. He's devised a scheme. He comes out and pitches it, it really sounds good...so you invest.

However, as time goes on you begin to notice that NOTHING he promised is working out. You begin to ask questions and eventually it hits you "up side the head". Is this deal is a scam? 

You scramble to get your money---only to find that it's long gone. Transfered to another person who was owed money form a different entity that had no relation what-so-ever to your deal. 

You were just the tool.  

You file a lawsuit, hire expense lawyers but eventually everyone runs out of money pursuing justice. 

In the meantime, Kelly G Rogers represents himself or Carrie S. Rogers (his wife) at no cost. He simply drags out the process until you give up or run out of money. Cunning. Calculated. 

But wait.......NOT THIS TIME! Enter Bradley Dean.

In his case against Kelly G Rogers, Bradley Dean retained James Skinner and Michael F. Pezzulli of Pezzulli Barnes, L.L.P. This "Team" has lead to the involvement of the Texas State Security Commission working in conjunction with the Collin County DA's office, resulting in SIX indictments for money laundering, theft of property and securities fraud. 

Each Felony charge carries a minimum of 5 year and maximum of 99 years. Do the math.

And so it goes.....a jury trial scheduled for September. Can't wait. Fill out your "September madness" trial brackets at your office!

Court Date scheduled for April 11th, State moves to consolidate indictments for trial of Lawyer Kelly Gordon Rogers

An April 11th court appearance has been scheduled for 9:00 am in the case of State vs. Lawyer Kelly Gordon Rogers.

Will Kelly agree to a plea bargain? Doubtful as one reader commented;

"I would be doubtful of a plea bargain, the State filed a motion to consolidate, which means they are preparing to go full force, as reflected by the other recent filings, They re set for Rogers--an April appearance."

 In other developments, the STATE filed a Motion on March 7th to "Consolidate Indictments For Trial".

This means Rogers would stand trial on ALL counts, not just this 2009 indictment.

The State has spend a fortune chasing this guy around and it would be appropriate to consolidate into one trial. After all, the "people" are paying for these needless delays.

The charges and Jail time record. 

State submits new evidence against Kelly G Rogers

The judge wasn't in court today. However, the bailiff said there was only an "announcement" today, which probably means the opposing lawyers are meeting by themselves, possibly discussing a plea bargain.

But according to the Collin County website, the State did submit a "Notice Of Filing Of Business Records Pursuant To Rule 902(10) Texas Rules Of Evidence". 

Business records from Mary L. Hixson from Stillwater National Bank and Jose Aguilar from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

New Rules for Texas State Bar Association could affect Kelly G Rogers?

"I would like to point out to all Parties that have been or potentially may be "victims" of Kelly G Rogers. 

The State Bar of Texas implemented new rules of Professional Conduct in 2011. I would like to bring to the attention of the readers, 

PART XIV INTERIM SUSPENSION, 14.01 IRREPARABLE HARM TO CLIENTS: which states in pertinent part "should the Chief Disciplinary Counsel reasonably believe based upon investigation of a Complaint that an attorney poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to clients or prospective clients and be authorized to do so by the Commission, the Chief Disciplinary Counsel shall seek the IMMEDIATE interim suspension of the attorney. 

If complaints have been made to the State Bar of Texas by reader's of this blog, it seems that 7 1st Degree Felony Indictments would more than qualify for this action, since it would be reasonable to assume that any funds Rogers' raises or may steal would be in connection with his status of good standing with The State Bar of Texas.

I don't know if the complainants were aware of this, but it seems to me a good vehicle to prevent further fraud by Rogers.

"Felony Unassigned" in STATE of TEXAS Vs. Kelly Gordon Rogers: case 380-81034-2012

In STATE of TEXAS vs. Kelly Gordon Rogers (Case 380-81034-2012), Rogers is indicted on FRAUD SELL SECURITIES >=$100K. 

Why is the Felony listed as "UNASSIGNED"? Can anyone provide an explanation of what this means and a degree 4092 means?

"The case appears to be linked with the other indictments in the 380th. Rogers' has so many indictments and the cases have languished so long the Clerk probably hasn't updated it. 

They did update Mitchell Nolte as his lawyer on that case as well. I think that they are putting all of the information on the initial '09 indictment, almost 4 years this has gone on. 

Unbelievable, if they set it for trial it will be another 6 months to a year if it gets reached. 

There is another crook doing the same thing, PAUL LESLIE DEPEW, he has been arrested about 27 times, was found guilty on a probation revocation, given a State Jail sentence, then filed appeal bonds, got indicted on another case and has stretched that out for almost three years. 

I am surprised the DA's Office never moved to hold Rogers' Bond's Insufficient, there is no way he can prove what he has alleged. 

Anyways, I hope that clears it up!"

"I do have one observation....the mugshots of our favorite criminals, (Rogers, Depew, Bowie, Lester, etc) give us a "picture" of con-people.  

However, I have to say that these are some of the most unattractive people I have ever seen! Depew looks like he has been water boarded tortured for years, Bowie looks she has lived her life outside on a ship for a century, Rogers looks like my favorite homeless guy with the "disabled vet" sign.

Are these the faces of white collar crime? 

Finally, I would love to know the identity of the person who Rogers' is "working on deals with"? Is this man or person from Earth??? 

I do give credit to the authorities in Collin County. It was their hard work and dedication that took a horrible and disgusting person out of our community. KIM PEREIRA is currently in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections awaiting to serve his Federal Sentence.  It was Collin County who gave him 20 years as well. 

It is nice to see these types of disgusting people are being weeded out of our community and society. 

Just my thoughts."

A reader asks; How much money did Kelly Rogers give to LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

A recent comment opens the door to a very interesting subject:

"Has anyone looked into the Football Stadium that Legacy Christian built around 5 years ago when Rogers' was active and serving on the Board? There are rumor's money was funneled possibly to the construction of the stadium as Legacy was very small at that time and Kelly Rogers" was apparently its biggest donor."

Legacy Christian Academy is an awesome organization. We admire and appreciate them for doing God's work. We need a ton more God in America and by no means is this story meant to demean Legacy.

However, the transactions which resulted in the May 2012 indictments for fraud, theft of property and money laundering, all took place between August 22nd of 2007 and October 28th of 2011. This is right in the middle of when Rogers was serving on the board at Legacy.

So the reader is asking an obvious question; who's money was it that Kelly G Rogers donated to Legacy Christian Academy? Was it yours? Further, was he a "HERITAGE" level investor of $250,000 or more? 

So we're suggesting that someone follows to money.

The Facts Seem Clear

Clearly, Kelly Rogers was serving on the board at the time same time he was wheeling and dealing. 

The graphic to the left shows an auction held on November 3rd, 2007 and the graphic below, pulled from the same PDF, lists Kelly Rogers as a board member in 2007 and 2008. According to the indictment, this is the exact time when the allegedly  fraudulent transactions were being completed.

And what if he serviced on the board from 2005 through 2009? That would open up the possibility that ANY money donated during this time-frame could have come from the Level Par Ponzi Scheme, the Falcon Energy project, the Buck Hamilton Series or other "Deals" offered by Rogers.

Do you know how much of "Other Peoples Money" was lost during that time-frame? It was well over $6.3 Million. And this number doesn't include the $6.4 owned to creditors at the time of his bankruptcy filing on July 27th, 2009.

If it can be proven that Rogers stole, laundered, then donated this funny money to Legacy, what's the legal status of those donations? Can the authorities take legal action against Legacy, naming Legacy as a relief defendant and recover the stolen funds?

If we review Kelly G Rogers money raising history, it starts in late 2004 and seems to peak in 2009 . Specifically, he rolls out of the Travis-Correll Ponzi Scheme and starts Level Par where, according to the SEC, page 11, item 47: "Rogers raised $4.7 million from approximately 35 investors".

Then look a the indictments issued by the Collin County DA's office, Theft PC 31.03 F1 , Rogers is accused of stealing $1,589,000 and they list 29 specific entities affected. Combined, that's $6.3 Million. 

How hard would it be to peel off $250,000, give it to Legacy and even write off the donation on his taxes!

So this reader is correct in wondering if any donations were laundered funds taken from unsuspecting investors. The entire list of investors is in the indictment? click here.

Our thanks to this reader for bringing up this issue. I'm sure the Texas State Securities Commission or the Collin County DA's office has enough subpoenaed information to answers these questions.
