Richard Reiben - Where is Richard Reiben?

Richard Reiben, just anwser a couple questions for the public

Mr. Reiben,

Since you & Lacroix have raised money for CETO & MVP under the following pretense, can you elaborate on any of these claims?

1. Does Richard Lacroix has a Federal Govt Mandate  to protect ports & stadiums in the US. He made this claim many times and formally at an investor presentation at the Tysons Corner Marriot.
2. Did Richard Lacroix ever serve in the army, US Government? When & what capacity?
3. Does Richard Lacroix have an office in the White House? (really now!).
4. What revolving door policy prevents Lacroix from being a member, officer, employee of any company? Did you ever forward a letter claiming this was an issue?
5. Did you ever inform members or investors that Turner canceled the MOU, why they canceled, that a cease & desist & restraining order were issued?
6. Did MVP ever have a contract with the NFL to install Tiger Cubes or anything in any stadium? Was this claim published in any material shown to investors?
7. How much money has been raised by CETO & MVP? How many points were sold?
8. Can you account for how the money has been spent?
9. Has Mr Lacroix ever been a CEO of an American company? Which one?
10. How much money has Mr Lacroix cashed through Western Union & wire services in other people's names?
11. Did Mr LaCroix ever serve in the armed forces?
12. What name is Mr Lacroix currently using in Boston?

Richard Reiben, enabler, partner for a Con Artist

Here he is. The lawyer who is always sending legal  documents supporting  Lacroix's business in the field. He has never answered any questions as to how he can continue to support with a known, career con man. Reiben has taken off all the MVP & CETO items from his Linked In profile to try to clean his association with these two companies. Everyone who has been taken by Lacroix have many questions about this guy. We wonder what his role really is. He keeps his involvement on paper to the minimum but is  involved when  LaCroix needs documents .  

Mary Kurowski, Maria Kurowski

Maria or Mary Kurowski is Richard Lacroix's "girlfriend". He is a drunk so cannot drive so he always needs a driver. He uses her to have money sent for him thru Western Union wire transfers.  She is part of his con. He also uses her when he is desperate for money- says she is terminally ill and needs money for medicine. He also gets real angry when you bring up her name or speak with her---pretends she doesn't know anything etc....

Harvard University Con Man

Richard Lacroix may have attended Harvard for a period but seems like he never graduated. He uses his Harvard experience to impress people while he cons them. He has been a professional con man for over 30 years....he is also a drunk and sociopath.....

Richard Denton, Boston Con Man's new alias.

This Con Man, drunk, low life, scammer is working Back Bay Boston Hard. He just went to court for defrauding the Omni Parker House Hotel. Is being evicted from his current residence for non payment of rent, has his Toyota Van (not in his name) impounded for no insurance, no registration .

He is working the hotels & taverns of Boston, using Richard Denton. He will be using a new alias soon as this is now public. He also plays the big company executive crap...He states he was CEO of Nabisco. He is using his alias, Richard Denton to con a company called Reputation Management Consultants. Check it out.

Richard Reiben, LaCroix legal advisor,

Richard Reiben, attorney and former head of the Smith Opera House in Geneva, NY has removed his history with MVP & CETO from his LinkedIn profile.  What did LaCroix do with this money? What was it spent on? Are members getting K-1's or reports of how funds are used?????-not to my knowledge!

Richard Reiben as recently as this week is sending documents to Richard LaCroix, alias Richard Denton's targets.  Unless he refutes any of this, the only conclusion is that he is a partner with LaCroix. We can only wonder how much of LaCroix's take he enjoys. When asked to account for money LaCroix raises with MVP or CETO, he cannot give an accounting. All I have ever heard is how many 1000's of hours he & LaCroix have worked without any compensation.......

A picture of this man will be out soon----beware of this man,  he distances himself from Richard LaCroix, alias Richard Denton but I have know him to be "the guy" Lacroix always calls on to look "real".

Richard Denton is Richard Lacroix's new alias- Boston Police report...

The Boston Police are reporting that Richard Lacroix is now representing himself as Richard Denton. He was using Richard Michaels, RL Richard and other alias name while trying to con people.

The police say is is trying to scam people out of money by having them invest in some online  Reputation repair scam. It is ironic that he is getting into this con game as his reputation cannot ever be repaired. According to the police, he is still drinking heavily, acting like a big timer, getting kicked out of places he stays, going to court for defrauding the famous Omin Parker etc...etc...asking anyone , everyone for $100 bucks hear or there while setting them up for a bigger score. Still the sociopath he has always been.

Richard Reiben is still acting on Lacroix's behalf. Acting like his attorney and not his partner. We believe he is Lacroix's partner in all these cons over al these years. We know Lacroix saved Reiben a lot of money just by getting his son into Wilbraham Prep school for half tuition...Reiben  scammed his son's prep school together with Lacroix. Did he ever pay the other half of his son's education. How can he have his son go through life knowing his dad & Lacroix scammed his education & Alma mater?????? and everyone knows it.

So Reiben's role is still to make Richard Denton/Lacroix look reputable. Reiben cannot, has not refuted anything we have reported. We ask him why he continues to work with Lacroix. Is he the money guy, holding Richard Lacroix's take while bankrolling his daily con operation, taking a cut of the proceeds, bailing him out when needed, paying hotel bills when he on to a possible victim with potential etc....Please send any photos of Richard Reiben. I would like to post his picture so people will see him for what he is..Can anybody elaborate on why he left The Smith Opera House? Let's expose this guy too.

Reiben recommended Lacroix to someone as as "high level Homeland Security operative" with the ability to"fix" people problems with his high level contacts in Washington. Lacroix & Reiben were paid close to $40k for this con job. Lacroix & Reiben did nothing for the money. Are they reproting these monies to the IRS?
So, Richard Denton, Richard Lacroix, RL Richards, Richard Michaels are the names Lacroix has used in the Boston area in the last couple months.  Watch out for this guy! He will get a small amount out of you and then try for more.

He also lies about his past work experience. He is a no body and hasn't had a real job in his life time. All his jobs were basically finance related scams. He has never been a real officer in a real company..never. Do not believe his crap about his big accomplishments...

Richard , Boston con Artist

Watch out for this guy, Usually hanging out in nice hotels or bars looking for victims. Tomorrow he has a criminal case scheduled in the Boston Municipal Court. Court case #1101CR4858 for defrauding an innkeeper. He walked out on the Omni Parker House Hotel until they called the police, confiscated his car and held his girlfriend Maria/Mary & her son Michael. Because of this blog he is using aliases. The last alias was Richard Michaels.

He gave his middle initial a "A" to the police when he was arrested in Boston. This is part of his con so that records will not match up with his real full name. I am willing to bet, arrests around the country over the years are his with different middle initials. We think his real middle name is Roy. He also uses "Roi" french spelling for his middle name- again, so records don't match up.

We believe his attorney may have  paid his bail money and also the Omni Parker hotel bill which was around $960. We would like to ask Richard Reiben, Lacroix's attorney, who is paying his hotel bills , bail money etc...

It has been reported that LaCroix got Reiben's son into Wilbraham Academy and even got him thru at half price by promising a "big" donation. So just on this, it would seem Reiben owes Lacroix. But, again, Reiben has not denied any of his dealing with LaCroix and is still acting as his lawyer when LaCroix needs backup documentation to con a victim.

Mary/Maria Kurowski & her son Michael are also in on it as earlier reported. Wire transfers usually get sent in her name.  It has been reported that LaCroix beats her. I have actually seen black eyes on her personally but I cannot confirm where they came from.

Michael , Maria's son his also LaCroix's computer guy. Not sure of his age but is way too old to be playing this game. He will find things difficult in the future when Richard's liver gives in or gets put away.

Richard LaCroix, History of a Con Man

LaCroix graduated from Wilbraham Academy in 1973
In the early late 70's , early 80's he worked in Houston, Texas as a stockbroker for Underwood, Neuhaus & Co.
He moved to NYC. In NYC, he shared an office with Haas Securities at 120 and was pals with Eugene K. Laff.
LaCroix owed many people lots of money back then and has never stopped screwing people in many places, many different con jobs etc....The total money he has screwed people out of is staggering. We need to get a list of any money people gave him, . We need every one's receipts to get him off the streets. The list of victims continues to grow- They all have the same desire- Get this asshole off the streets and from screwing more people. He has no other means of making money and acting like the big shot his ego requires.  Keep sending your stories of how he screwed you!

Richard Reiben, where is Richard Reiben?

Does anyone know why Reiben left his job at The Smith Art Center?

It has been reported that Reiben recommended Richard LaCroix to a victim. Reiben told the victim LaCroix was with Homeland Security....Reiben & LaCroix received aprox. $60k from this victim based on this misrepresentation.

Who is paying LaCroix's hotel bills? He has been at the Seaport Hotel according to Boston Police and paid cash for the bill.

We suspect he is running thin in the Boston area so will move soon. Please report his whereabouts if you see him.

The Reiben/ LaCroix  team goes way back. I have some more stories to publish if the victims will permit them.

Reiben's son went to Wilbraham Academy. This is the same school LaCroix went to when he was a kid, before he embarked on a life long career of fraud & crime. I don't think LaCroix is appreciated at this school. I called the school asking about alumni, LaCroix, etc..Got a hit on LaCroix & young Reiben. They were hush hush about them but I got the feeling he did something wrong to them too. Not sure yet. Please post anything if you have anything on this.

Richard LaCroix's arrest detail

Go to : http://www.cambridgepolice.org/
Then click on "News" tab on top bar.
Scroll down to Daily log dated 9.26.2011
Scroll down to about the 13th case on 9.24.2011
Case is titled " Massachusetts Ave".


If any one can pull up his mug shot, I will post it. I hope to have permission to post other stories from victims as they are really good.

Please report him if you see him anywhere.

Richard LaCroix arrrested in Cambridge. Incident number 11007451

He gave his address as: 400 Soldiers Field Road, Alston Mass. Incident number is: 11007451.

Richard LaCroix arrested in Cambridge

Richard LaCroix was arrested in Cambridge, Ma. He was arrested on 9/24/11 for defrauding an Innkeeper. Funny, he scammed me, an Innkeeper in Savannah for $6k.

Remember, he claims he went to Harvard. We cannot find any proof of that. Funny that his Crimson friends can't help him while he is in Cambridge.

He also defrauded the Harvard  Club in NYC some years ago. They took him to court & won but never collected any money.

Richard Michaels, Lacoix's new alias.

The latest news is Richard LaCroix is using the alias or AKA Richard Michaels in his attempt to scam people out of money in New England. He is using the same old scam that he works with a huge investment company that is moving operations in the area and will need housing for hundreds of executives. He is using this con on people in the Real Estate business in the Boston area.

Richard Reiben has been informed of Richard Lacroix's using an alias and continues to support/advise him, and try to lend credibility to this known life long con artist. Reiben still acts like Richard Lacroix  is an honest businessman, not a true scam man. Amazing at it seems!

It has been reported that Reiben left his job at Smith Opera House , but last I checked , he was still there.

The latest request by Reiben and LaCroix is to ask certain members/investors to sign a proxy vote for the sale of MVP/Tiger Cube assets to a company called Left Lane, llc. I sure hope reiben & LaCroix are disclosing all their issues with members. I for one was conned by these guys.
Reiben even states that he is asking only selected members to vote due to "Hostile" members....no kidding. I would be Hostile if I was scammed. And get this- Reiben's letter stated the $3.8 million  they will collect will go to paying Lacroix and his designates for work done since 2006---Amazing what these people will do.

Question? If Lacroix is an honest man, why use an alias? If Reiben knows this, what does this make him?crook too?

Richard Reiben, Keith Harris & Karl Immenhausen & Richard Lacroix

Harris, Reiben & Immenhausen are not answering questions about MVP & CETO- protecting Americans from nuclear & biological weapons smuggled into the USA by Al Queda terrorists.

MVP & CETO were marketed as companies mandated by the US Government to protect Ports & Stadiums from Al Queta bomb plots. nuclear & biological weapons smuggled into the US by terrorists.

Richard LaCroix represented himself as a Homeland Security mandated official, charged with finding the technology needed to equip shipping containers (CETO, LLC) and Stadiums (MVP, LLC).

LaCroix, a career con man, drunk and scam artist, acted as the front man for CETO & MVP.  He raised money, pretending to have a "Mandate" or special deal with the Department Homeland Security to find solutions to protect us from terrorists. He stated he was with Homeland Security to many people. Said he did a lot of dirty work for the CIA, black ops (Navy Seals)  in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam etc....He claims to  be on directive from the White House..........

He stated he cannot be on any documents because of his revolving door policy with the White House & US Government. More recently, he states he has to get out of his house in the middle of the night because the terrorists are getting close to him and the US Govt moves him out in the middle of the night to save his life.....
Really good stuff...

So with Richard LaCroix running around different US Cities, scamming people, his attorneys, Reiben, Harris & Karl Immenhausen helped him perpetrate this con by providing what appears to be legitimate legal council.

Harris & Reiben seem to go back a long way with LaCroix. They have both been implicated in these scam companies LaCroix has used to execute his fraud. For Reiben & Harris to pretend that they don't know what LaCroix is doing out on the street is ludicrous. Here are some questions for Richard Reiben, Keith Harris & Karl Immenhausen:

1. How long have you known Richard LaCoix?
2. What companies, deals, actions have you been involved in with LaCroix or any company he used other names for?
3. What money can you account for in any of these companies?
4. What were your roles in his companies?
5. What legal actions civil suits, criminal actions  have you been implicated in?
6. Do you think Richard LaCroix is a legitimate business man?
7. Do you think Richard LaCroix is a crook?
8. Do you know any victims of Richard LaCroix over the last 30 years?
9. As offciers in MVP & CETO, can you verify the NFL "deal" for the MVP Tiger Cube?
10. Is it misrepresentation to notify investors of a company that binding agreement with Turner Private Networks for MVP is imminent when it was just a MOU ? I will sign an MOU with anybody today stating we will cooperate to find mutually beneficial business opportunities- Right now, with anybody-just send it to me and I will sign it. I will not however email possible investors that I have signed a "binding agreement" with Turner Private Networks in order to fool them about the scope of an agreement.
11. Was Turner told that MVP, LaCroix or Tiger Cube had a deal with the NFL to install betas of Tiger Cube?
12. Were any communications sent out to investors when Turner canceled the MOU? To whom? What did it say?
13. What evidence is there that there was a deal with the NFL. Page five of the MVP memorandum states a deal was made with the NFL....Where is the evidence for this?
14. Was Harris or Reiben involved with the Commerce Club, WARCO, First Metropolitan Mortgage?
15. Where did the money for capital calls go?
16. What monies were sent to LaCroix? How were they sent? Whose names were they sent to?
17. Have you ever told anyone that Richard LaCroix was with Homeland, The Govt etc....


I will stop here since I have many more questions and don't want to get into more areas that I already have answers to. I don't expect Reiben, Harris or Immenhausen to respond to these questions. They have really played the margins with LaCroix to help him. The time will come where they will have to answer these questions,  produce documents and detail their involvement with Richard LaCroix.

Richard LaCroix.. Man for all Cons

Richard's Cons are always the most current fad:

70's- he has a Solar Company scam
80's- he had an organic company in Illinois -scam
80's- had a penny stock scam with WARCO
90's- had a mortgage scam in Chicago with 1st Metropolitan Mortgage..(not sure exact name yet)
2000' s- Anti Terrorism

Any guess what he will do next? Insurance, Social Security.........

Richard LaCroix-Signs you have run into this Con Man

1. Probably be in a bar. He greets every person on the street to see if there is an opening to read them as a mark/target.
2. He likes military folk for his current con because of their sense of patriotic duty. He will find your weak spot ----within minutes of talking with you- very quick study!
3. He may not ask for anything until a couple conversations or at meetings later. He plants seeds..
4. When he asks for money - it won't be that much. nothing to fret over. If you give it to him once, he knows he can come back for more. Small amounts add up.
5. The request will always be "urgent" ," imminent"- will give some excuse why he needs it and does not have it.
6. He always has a driver. He keeps them in the back round to look like a bodyguard. They are usually regular guys being promised something big and drive him around betting he will come through. He needs drivers to look important and he probably has more than a couple DUI's. I found some in Wilmington, NC where he lived in the 90's.
7. There will always be a big payoff or distribution "tomorrow". there will always be an excuse why it did not happen. He works the phones like a madman.
8. He will always name drop people he is associated with. These people will be credible people that either, 1 dropped out after a short time or 2. don't know he is still using their names to lend himself credibility.
9. His attorneys will be Harris & Reiben. Both have known him many years and have been associated with other deals- Reiben with Warco, Harris with the Commerce Club are just two.
10. His girlfriend Maria Kurowski will always need meds for her "terminal cancer".
11. Michael Kurowski will always be applying to the local college. Both he & his mom a really Grifters too.
12. Richard will always claim to be  a Harvard guy. Nantucket guy ...Boater etc....
13. He will have a large bar tab and no way to pay for it.
14. He will present an employment offer, benefits & possibly a bonus.
15. A closing, funding or distribution will be tomorrow & you will get money..tomorrow. Never today!

Richard Lacroix - CONVICT

We know he has done jail time in:

Florida
NY
Illinois

I am sure we will find more....

Richard Lacroix could be in Ashville, NC, Aiken, SC, ......

or possible in Tennessee. He was reported in Norfolk, Va. If he shows up in any bar there, he will be dealt with by some people on the look out.

Please report his sightings for now........

Keith Harris is in Chicago, Richard Reiben is in Geneva NY and Carl Imenhausen is in Minneapolis.

Richard LaCroix -Coming to your town soon...

If anyone sees This Con man, please report it to us or call the cops.

I am tracking down a warrant for him out of Illinois. It has come to our attention he did spend time in jail in Illinois too. Possibly in Cook or McHenry County. If you have any info about this outstanding warrant, please let us know...

The victim list continues to grow. 85 right now..We are getting close to taking action against him and his enablers. If  anyone has any helpful information in our case (I cannot go into specifics about our criminal case yet) against him & his attorneys, please contribute as soon as you can. Meetings are happening soon.

Many people have called because of this blog. Many have shared their stories. I have promised people I would keep their identities private. At some time  they will be needed to testify and have agreed. I so wish I could recount their stories and how they came to be victims.  If you knew what I have come to learn about this guy, you would understand how "bad" a person he really is. He cares not who he hurts, family, friends or the next person he encounters.

 I cannot relay these stories here because he and his attorneys would know who the victim is by the story....He is a true sociopath..only concerned with himself...He has been taking people for so long he knows no other way...watch out, he will use your name if it helps him look legitimate to his next mark...he leapfrogs his contacts....The depth of his parasitic behavior is only matched by his boundless energy to commit fraud.

Fair warning too...he has shown a propensity for some violence. When he was kicked out of a place he was staying without paying rent, he turned a knife on his landlord....All the Vietnam stuff is bunk. He's really a coward.. but now that he is on the run..he may be unpredictable.

We have an attorney reviewing our many documents right now. We hope this is ready for our meetings with the authorities in a week or two. The RICO laws actually may apply here, but we have other strategies in the works to expose him & his attorneys..We have asked them to explain themselves but have not heard anything from Harris or Reiben...stay tuned. I also want to correct a misprint. Reiben is the CEO of the Smith Center of the Arts in Geneva, NY. A friend of a friend is very connected there & is getting involved as well.

One again, add you stories, documents, accusations to our heap--we want as much as we can get on these guys..LaCroix, Reiben & Harris. Imenhausen will also be called to justify his actions...

Richard LaCroix- Conning his way through life

Good people! Why is Richard always on the phone- non-stop? Because he is scamming people in at least 5 states, keeping it fresh and asking to wire more money all the time.

Bar tab-- He will tell you his company is going to pay for his rather large bar tab--never happens-you get stuck with it- he has made a career of running up large tabs for someone else to pay- some have been in the several thousand $ amount.

Don't go pick him up at the bar when he calls to order you to come get him & then orders you to give him $200  because his Homeland Security guys are at the airport and he forgot his wallet or a company wire did not come....the lies are too numerous and varied to recount here...

There will always be an excuse as to why he didn't get his big transfer, money distribution, closing etc...
He will tell you for 60 days straight that you will be paid tomorrow........every day for 60 days people..this guy does not care what he says....

Richard Reiben, Kieth Harris & Richard LaCroix- Partners

Harris is in Chicago, Reiben is running (CEO) Smith Opera House, Smith Center for the Arts in Geneva , NY (upstate NY)- More on this later..

These guys have know this Con Man for many years. They have served as attorneys for his Companies.

ON companies they serve as council for never issue K-1s, accounting and even have a trust that does not file with the IRS. They receive money LaCroix raises  and never show where the money goes.


How much of the scammed money have they received?? The amount is large....I am still adding numbers up....

Eventually, these guys will need to explain themselves and why they have helped this guy on all his con jobs...

Richard LaCroix & his Fundraising Scamms

Richard LaCroix has posed as a Foundation Fundraiser in towns like Savanna, Boston, Washington, Chicago and who knows where else.

Basically, he will find a real cause or Foundation. He will tell you he has a program with big companies to match funds that are donated-- If you donate to his foundation, his big company will donate double to your foundation.......same con every city...

Help us figure out his next con---he is very nimble inventing cons-- he will read what you do and come up with a way to con you withing minutes.........

Richard LaCroix Homeland Security

Richard LaCroix is posing as a Homeland Security Operative, with a mandate from the Government to protect us all from Terrorists passing nuclear & radiological "dirty" bombs in the US..

This is a major Con Job- He appeals to all us patriots who would love to protect the country & make money--why not. He finds credible people,  offers them executive positions in MVP or CETO or whatever company he has going at the time, signed employment agreements and membership i the "too good to be true company".  This is all bogus. While he scams everyone he has ever come in contact with, you would google him and find nothing--this perpetuates his "under cover" persona, his "revolving door conflict" with the Govt etc.....You would find these credible people he posts into positions and think he is legit!!! Don't be fooled... these people usually step down , resign within a couple months once they see how he operates...He continues to use their  names as they still have their membership shares......they paid for...

Richard LaCroix- Fake ID- Trying to look official

Richard LaCroix flashed badges around and claims to be working for Homeland Security---

Richard LaCroix Victims List

The list is now up to 80 people who have been scammed by Richard R LaCroix. This is a list of people mainly in the last two years. We know he has been scamming for close to 25 years so there are throngs of victims that are out there that just don't know that we are exposing this Scum Bag or are afraid to come forward...don't be. The amount he has scammed ranges from $200 -$150k. No need to be embarrassed. He even scammed the Harvard Club of NY claiming to be a Harvard Grad. As reported before- he may have attended some night classes.

Some Illinois Cases against LACroix -one has $150k Judgement-never pid a penny

Illinois Case

Friday, July 22, 2011

If you see this man- Call the Police. he is scamming your area.

Towns that we know he has scammed: Boston, Atlanta, NYC, Wilmington, DE, Savannah, ga, Norfolk, VA, Rcihmond, VA, Washington DC, 

Richard LaCroix, Central Intelligence Agency, CIA

NOT! This guy is so full of it- Do not believe anything he says. Please report if you see him. He knows nothing else but to scam...he is non stop and will take you for $100 so he can drink more-- BY 4:00 every day he is in some bar drunk......Scamming the patrons, the bar owner with his grandiose stories...He really needs to be the "big shot" and cannot help himself from scamming- he has made a good living, lived in fancy houses & hotels as he spend everything he scams....he is addicted to the Con....he does make mistakes though...pay attention .. you will see.

He never counted on being this exposed--The Internet has finally caught up to this Con Man.

Call me if you are a victim 912-596-1506

Richard LaCroix Military backround, Vietnam, Navy-Not!

We are unable to find any service records for this guy. He is a Con. He claims the following:

Admiral in the Navy
Pilot for Air America/CIA during Vietnam- (war was basically over by his time- born 1954)
Special Forces
Navy Seals
Homeland Security (take a close look at the badges he flashes)
Claims he is in witness protection..

This guy is a sociopath, liar, con man.., trust me...

Richard LaCroix Victims are coming out of the woodwork

We are getting emails, calls etc from victims far & wide. There are so many stories it is really unbelievable: The most common comment is how brazen this guy is. He does not care who, where when or how he gets into your pocket. He is always on....he will use your name as a reference to a banker, lawyer, friend,  etc... to make himself look credible. He leap frogs from person to person using anything he can to get your trust...

He uses things like Harvard to make himself look good. Best we can tell is he went to night school at Harvard but never graduated. He also scammed the Harvard Club of NY.

Nothing is in his name. People have big judgements against him. $150k in one case in Illinois. They never collected a penny. He uses people to send wires to Western Union in other peoples names then put cash on a credit card that can be replenished..watch out for this..

He also puts real people in positions with his scam companies. He gives really nice employment contracts that never get executed. When people can't find Lacroix when they google him, they do find these good people he has appointed to his companies--they are always changing because they resign as soon as they see what is going on. They usually leave the shares in place that they pay for on the outside chance something will come about---LaCroix uses their good names even after they resign. Watch out for this guy-he is really unbelievable. Also watch out for Michael Kuwolski  and his mother Mary or Maria...they are with him.

Join Mailing list to Lacroix's victims

People, I have sent an email to aprox 50 victims of Richard Lacroix and his helpers. People are sending me info as to how much they gave Lacroix, how the money was given, what it was for, i.e membership % in a company, backround check, security badge, training related expenses etc...we need your help . The authorities are looking into this but we need more people to make the Case to prosecute these Grifters..His girlfriend Mary Kuwolski and here son Michael are also involved- If you ever wondered how Richard knew those little things about you...Michael is his computer source--he always claims to be enrolling in school...sure you have hear that one before. He gives Richard just enough to pretend he has real connections in DC..

Email me at l.thomann@comcast.net. I will only give your info to authorities. This is a grassroots effort to stop a Con Man. He has been very smart by staying under the radar -Chances of you ever getting any money back is remote. At least we can stop him from hurting others....Don't be embarrassed, scared or too busy to respond...we will follow the money and get him.

Need people to file their complaints

People following this blog. We need to file complaints agains LaCroix and possibly  Reiben & Harris. I have ask Rich Reiben to produce the documents he has, proving there was a binding agreement for MVP with Turner  Broadcasting. If he cannot, all the shareholders of MVP, Ceto etc.. will have take action. More on this later. I am waiting for his response. Our "Sunshine" blog is open for him to respond right here if he wishes to.

Picture of Richard LaCroix , the Con Artist

Richard Reiben, Attorney & Richard LaCroix, Kieth Harris

This trio has been together a long time. Since we know Richard LaCroix has been scamming people for 25 years now.  I think LaCroix has scammed about $500,000 in the year I have known him. His lawyers are shareholders and party to the letters that go out making it look like there is a  big agreement with companies like Turner Broadcasting, Goldman, Great Dane , Graham Capital etc... they make it seem like just a formallity to get it signed.. Reiben & Harris need to account for their actions. I have documents where Reiben is creditied for stating a deal with Turner  has been reached and that he was a party to the negotiations. Turner found that LaCroix was dirty and filed a cease & desist order as well as a restraing order against LaCroix.  I challenge Reiben or Harris to explain why they are helping Lacroix scam people. What are they getting for it. Reiben was also partners with LaCroix in the company called WARCO in Garden City NY.

The Con by Richard LaCroix

I am willing to bet, LaCroix has sold way more than 100% of the shares of MVP & CETO. Basically, when he sees you are interested, he will say that Goldman Sachs, Turner Broadcasting, JP Morgan etc are in the final negotiations and a signature agreement is imminent- like in the next 24 hours. He will follow up with letters from Kieth Harris or Richard Reiben attesting to the fact that an agreement is very close and not to disclose anything about it......they take your money and ......Interestingly, Richard Reiben & Keith Harris are the attorneys that always follow up and make everything look legit...they have been with LaCroix a long time and are also partners in the companies . Harris was the registered agent on the Commerce Club scam in Chicago, Reieben was in Garden City, NY with LAcroix in the "Warco" Scam days  so...you tell me if you think they are involved???? I think they have a  lot of explaining to do.

Richard LaCroix Con Artist

Remember, I am posting things about this guy that will be familiar to all his marks. His antics are the same in everytown he appears: This is so you will recognize the con:

Example: LaCroix saw a money guy in Savannah. He was hitting him up to find investors for Ceto, LLC. He told the guy he would need a backround check & a security badge. The guy answered, that;s fine but I will never pay for that. he never heard from LaCroix again.

Example: He will try to sell you shares to one of his companies. He will always say it is urgent, someone just got sick and is passing on their right to buy more shares at the founder price...you have 6 hours to buy them...You will get a letter from Reiben or Harris staing you are a % owner..all bullshit!


He will offer you a job. Again, you will have to pay for your badge & security check...now he may also ask for $1000 for training and airline tickets to the training facility. He will also say the company will reimburse you when you get there....there is no there!

State Illinois CAse against LaCroix

Richardcroix Op

Tiger Cube by Multi Venue Protection

Richard LaCroix claimed he has a deal with stadiums in the NFL and a deal with the NFL to beta test his Tiger Cube Radiological/Nuclear detection system. Ask for a copy of his contacts , copy of the agreement etc...They don't exist. he claims he is a Nuclear Particulate Scientist---laughable.

He will tell you that he can get all the revenue from the Tiger Cube kiosks from the advertising that will be on them--think about that! as anyone ever read how protective of the advertising revenue s are by the big guys-----?

I assume if Richard reads any of this, he will have to change his tactics-- he is very good, very nimble, has nothing in his name, one of the best Con Artist you will ever meet. He has been doing it for  a long time.

His girlfriend Mary Kurowski  and her son Michael are in it with him. Watch out for Michael - he knows computers and should not have your info.

Richard LaCroix , Vietnam Veteren- NO Way!

Rcihard will tell you he was in the Navy. Latley he has been claiming to be an Admiral. He aslo referrs to Pat Shuster as "Commander", because he supposedly was on a nucleare submarine... Anyway, Richard 's will tell you he was deep in Cambodia & Laos doing trhe "Secret War" stuff and was a real bad dude doing the Government's dirty work---All lies. he was born in 1954. The draft was  basically over by the time he would have been enlisted.

Other claims by Roichard LaCroix:

1. he was a navy seal
2. Is now claiming to be with HomeLAnd Security (HSA) He like throwing around Govt acrynoms.
3. Pilot in Vietman's Secret War.
4. Has White House Access...


OH, watch how he flinches and goes into a defensive stance if a load noise occures. He will look at you and say " see , I can't leave it, my body still remembers the bad days" See those reflexes... Total Bullshit and very entertaining.

His family hates this guy.  Altough he has scammed his own mother, she still stands by him...Motherly love has no bounds. He left her in a wheel chair in Atlanta  and told his family he moved to Oregon--he was in Atlanta. Every Thanksgiving & Christmas he will call his mom and say I am sending you money to have a really nice holiday... never sends a thing.... It gets even worse..

He uses his dad's great acomplishemnts as a lawyer , Shrinner etc...By using his dad's name and rank with the Shrinners, he scammed other Shrinner of big money. Shrinner's believed he was a good son because his dad was a really good guy.

He sell's shares to his companies while he tells you a big Insurance company, or Turner broadcasting or Goldman Sach , or Markel Corp etc... is buying in big! All a croc. Ask him for a prototype of the Tiger Cube..

Richard Ray LaCroix or Richard Michael LaCroix

Richard M LaCroix, Boston, Savannah, Atlanta, Boston, Washington DC, Richmond

Richard's main scam right now is selling employment--in these hard times, he promises people jobs with his new company ( there is no real company) . He promises you a big title , salary of $120k, benefits. Then he asks for $600 for a background check, Money for a security badge.

He also goes by Richard R. LaCroix just to throw people off.

LaCroix might be wanted in Massachusetts, Florida, Georgia & Illinois if anyone knows anything about. He was born in 1957. Grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. He did attend Wilberham Academy but turned bad soon after.

His first scam was a Solar company when he was in his twenties. he raised a lot of money and spent it all-never produced a thing! This has been his con ever since. He sell ideas, never anything real.

I am looking into why he may have spent 1 year in prison on Rickers Island. Any info here would be helpful.

Richard M. Lacroix Con Artist

Please excuse spelling & grammatical errors--writing fast here.

People have been calling in their stories about their meetings with Richard LaCroix, letters from Reiban & Harris, big deals with big companies. Understandably, people are reluctant to post their own stories because 1. they are not sure who is in the scam with Richard as so many people are being introduced and met with and 2. they are not sure if Richards "black ops" training and "killing training" is putting their families is danger.

First, if I see him, I will test his fighting ability. Also, people were unable to Google or find anything on Richard M. LaCroix when they smelled something was amis. Also, Richard has threatened people with "don't even try to look me up, if you do, 3 men in dark suites will appear at your door...-I assure you, this guy is a powder puff.

So Richard is scamming Richmond Va, right now. People are giving him money. Like Savannah, he shows up, go to a Realty Office and says he want s to buy a farm, a house  etc.. and that his company is bring in 40- 50 people who will all need houses to buy and rent...and he want to work with just one real Estate person. (In Atlanta he used the Hawthorne Suites promising room sale instead) He then meets people from his first contacts in Real Estate and at whatever pub he favors. He offer employment contract for people- usually $120 k per year, government benefits and for some a signing bonus. I know of about 15 employment contracts already signed. He usually gives you a nice sounding position.

He brings people into town for meetings and makes sure no one talks between themselves. He tells everyone grandiose lies about the people he brings in---money, ex spooks, etc... and if you all discuss things you will be in breech and 3 guys in dark suites will appear at your door..

In order to raise money, Richard Reiban & Kieth Harris send documents confirming  the shares you have bought, acknowledge payment for security badges, Security back round checks etc...this is all bull- he uses the little money to drink with while going for the bigger money from his other marks.

There are always unexpected turns of events when the big deal that was suppose to close that day , did not happen. Brown recluse spider bite, hospital visits, dental emergency, Maria- his lady friend's downhill slide with terminal illness, his fathers heat attack etc...

He also uses western Union to have people forward emergency funds...

When you meet him at he bar, he will ask what you do. If you were in the Military, he will say I flew for the "other airline" in the Navy--you know the one that was supposed to be private...Air America. he says he was yanked out of Harvard  and put in the cockpit --inferring he was CIA operative....don't fall for it.

The web of people is getting larger. He is still using the MVP deal that Charles W Sullivan is negotiating with the NFL. My contact say this is bogus so if anyone else can weigh in , please do..

Several people have expressed an interest in stopping him. Calling the US Attorney or Police , IRS, FBI has been discussed.

Please make sure people follow the blog...

More on Richard R. LaCroix , alias Richard M Lacroix

Stay tuned everyone-- there is much more info coming about Richard Lacroix and his con game. He likes to use big company names that he says " we are in the final negotiation to sign a big deal" Turner Broadcasting, Markel Corp, NFL, Goldman Sachs are just a few companies he says is backing him- Then he uses excuses "technical issues" as to why he never gets the deal done---His lawyers and officers of MVP & Ceto always send out letters making it seem like a deal with a big company is imminent.....watch out for his attorneys---they must know what a Con he is and they have been pushing his paper for many years....Once I have more on them I will publish their names too.

Monday, July 11, 2011

Richard M. LaCroix

 He also claims to have a deal with the NFL--IN his business plan for MVP, which he uses to raise money from investors, he claims (page 5) that he has an agreement with the NFL to start a beta installation. He is lying and commiting fraud. - I have checked with top security people, they never heard of him and would not work the way he claims anyway....

MVP (Multi Venue Protection) & Ceto, LLC Are scams

Watch out for these two companies. Richard Lacroix & his lawyers  have investors send money to these accounts and they take the money for who knows what- personal I think.

LaCroix  and his attorneys were involved with a  Commerce Club, a Dinner Club scam in Chicago. It is public record that they were sued for taking investor money for their own use. The State case against them stopped them from the scam. The respondents in the state of Illinois case against them were:

Richard LaCroix is scammingg people out of $

Watch out! Richard LaCroix is scamming people from DC , Atlanta & Savannah, (possibly Richmond now)  out of money. He pretends he is a "black ops" type government/CIA operative working with some mysterious mandate from the Government to protect stadiums & ports from Radiological & Nuclear attacks. He came into Savannah, hung out at every bar, acted like a big shot and drafted bar people into his web. He had Pat Schuster with him as a driver, supposedly a Nuclear Sub Commander. Richard himself claims to be Harvard Educated, Former Navy guy and now a Navy Admiral, a "particulate scientist" whatever that is and much more. He travels with women named Maria and her son and finds places to stay without paying, rather promising to pay with company check. He will give you something at the beginning of his stay then bullshit you- he is good!

He says he had to get out of town from his previous place because he has killed some really bad people (terrorist types) and the Government moved him in the middle of the night to protect him- he didn't even have time to get personal items---- You won't know how to read him. You think he is crazy enough to be what he claims and he may even believe it. He is a sociopath for sure. He skipped out on many hotel  bills. He left all his belongings saying he was coming back-junk when I opened them! He often hits the Salvation Army when he gets to town to re-load on all his family belongings cloths etc... He's a drinker! Usually drunk by 4:00pm. This is where he recruits his pawn to assemble a local team- he tries to keep everyone from talking to each other as he spins his web of deceit- he says "Government types in black suits will end up on your door step if you look up his back round....

For the small $, he promises people employment with Government benefits to people who have to pay for a back round check and a government badge-about $600-drinking money for him. He will ask to pay several time as he cannot remember who has paid him cash. He has these people running him  around town since he does not drive  while he acts like he's a big shot. He like to draft a young army type to shuffle him around- big guys in case anyone challenges him for being a Con.

I know people who have given him $25k, $50k, $4k, $9k, $2k plus others. He split on a dentist bill  in Savannah, a storage facility in Virginia and more...many things in Atlanta & DC.

This guy is very sophisticated. His name does not appear anywhere on documents. He says this is because  of his Government "revolving door" problem- its a croc! He can''t be traced because he is deep cover and if you trace him, special agents will show up on your doorstep!!!!

When you first meet him, he will be on the phone, going a mile a minute, using terms like
"stand down" captain, etc...He will say "hey , do you like the Patriots? Wanna talk with Charlie Sullivan, former owner of the Patriots? He will pout him on and say they are working on a big deal with the National Football league with a company he formed in Atlanta called MVP. Don't buy into it.
 Watch out for this guy. He is so entertaining, you let it go too long and get into his web. He also uses his wife's terminal illness to borrow money.

Watch out for his lawyers too. One in Chicago & one in NY.
