Lets hope this guy gets arrested and prison time soon.

I'd like to think he gets his just deserts as well. However...he may not. I was scammed shortly after moving here, found others who fell prey to the same person. I met with Seniors vs Crime and we put all the evidence we could find together. I even found prior arrests on this guy for the same thing. A Lt with the SCSO was assigned to my case. He did a great job, put the case together and presented it to the Sumter Co DA' s office. It was assigned to an assistant DA and died with him. I even spent time on the phone with him but he declined to,prosecute.

Fortunately the idiot pulled the same trick in villages in Lake County and their DA's office put him away for awhile. A year later he's back out on the street's of TV doing the same thing.
