Like George said, we had the evidence. Since we have 80 victims' names and most of their stories now, we had plenty of evidence. I had copies of checks with Erica's name printed on them above Bob's for the same account our money went to. I had pictures of her standing next to a POS car. I had e-mails from her lying to dozens of victims. Plus everything George listed and much more. The list goes on and on. The small claims judge barely looked up during our cases and failed to wholly answer at least one question I had asked him which I think blew my case completely. I was told afterwards by a lawyer that I could possibly take it back to a higher court and would probably win against Erica. He believed that our judge either had questionable ethics or was just too far out of his league. There's no question we'd all win against Bob. Of course this lawyer said the same as the others I'd previously talked with, they've already hidden their money. We'd win a nice piece of paper that said we beat them plus the lawyer bill.
It's been nearly a year now since Bob and Erica stopped pretending (with us anyway). Erica still had a number and message for at least another six months. No authorities did a thing to stop her. It was brought to their attention with no results for many, many months. So far as I know, the FBI have failed to review this. These people have stolen over $2.2 million from people all across the world. They've committed so many crimes for so much money across such a huge area that I thought the FBI had to take this case. They haven't bothered. Inquires as to the status of my complaint have never even been addressed. The police fail to arrest the guilty that openly admit their guilt. They fail to arrest Erica whose name is plastered all over the majority of the correspondence and bank accounts. They fail to find Bob - who was frequently spotted at his house! The DA refuses to defend victims because "it'd be too hard to prove" - that's probably just me in that category, although we have 80 victims' names and they've only issued ~25 felony arrest warrants. Clearly other victims aren't important enough to matter either.
Erica has attacked me with a falsified statement for a restraining order, which cost me an additional $1200 just to get her to back off. No authority does a thing. There's no recourse that's worth the money. The guilty can say and do whatever they want with immunity.
I hope you get as many pieces of your car that exist, Viperman. If people knowingly have those pieces and fail to return them to their rightful owner, are they legally guilty of anything?
