Just When You Thought it was Safe

With the Dorean Group mortgage-elimination scam head honchos as dishonored guests in the hoosegow facing both state and Federal prison terms, you’d think things would kinda point people in the general direction of reality when it comes to these schemes and their promoters.

Well, if you thought that, you’d be wrong. Like a bad case of the creeping gomboo, Dorean’s scheme is creeping back into the victim luring business. It’s being re-re-re-re-tooled with the help of some of the founder’s old friends – and apparently even family.

I guess there’s just too damn much money to be made to let a scam die under the weight of the threat of going to jail for running it - no matter how many victims you create in the process.

The Dorean wannabees include good-ol’ Bill Julian (not so fresh from his losses in court), along with Bob Knupp. They apparently tied themselves in with Bob Locke, the infamous scammer behind yet another debt elimination program aimed primarily at credit card users.

This band of mental light-weights was roundly denounced by none other than Farrel “Foul Mouth” LeCompte, former high-and-mighty purveyor of his own version of legal and banking reality while defending Johnson and company on just about every forum known to man.

Of course, the incriminating material on Farrel’s ccrescam web site finally became too hot to keep up there; either that or someone finally convinced the knucklehead he was violating the court order. So while apparently trying to cooperate with the authorities he so fearlessly denigrated and dismissed as nothing to worry about in the past, he now is letting all the web site owners go-it-alone. And all that great "educational material" (read: evidence of the scam) is gone – he wishes (damn those web-caching servers!).

And what has to be a real hit in the gut for LeCompte and Santeramo is that the great one, none other than “Dr.” Fred Johnson, has apparently joined with the Julian and Knupp crowd. After all, while Kurt and Scott are just not quite able to bully and pontificate their way over the courts, why not let another gang of fools take advantage of all that legal brain power – and of course, all those new DVD’s?

Now if they were only operating ‘round here. We’re in need of some cheap labor and Bubba’s kinda tired a bein' the only one in the jail. He's sayin' there's parts of him that are starting to itch.
