Richard M. La Croix, Picture of a Con Man

  1. No fuckin way!!! I cant believe I searched and I know this dude, I could go on and on for 6 weeks about this shit head!! He walked into a Private Club I was running in downtown Chicago, back in 2004-05 thereabouts. Slurring drunk, who likes Parmesan cheese, thinks he's god, talks like hes gods father-been there done that 4 times, blindfolded, in the brazilian rainforest in a space ship, killing mercenaries sent to kill him, while delivering dry wood to the ants of the forest because they actually run the world kinda stories,....and that diced iceberg lettuce is a good dish. He does have a nice side, but its just to scam you in the end. Job offers, with contracts. Inventions, with models. IOU's, with contracts. Ive seen it all with this guy. He had a chaffuer, idr his name, but he was a little bald guy. Wanted to know if any of my members would be interested in investing into Mike Tysons estate and turn it into a golf course and private club. And then, and offer to star in a cooking movie and kit, he never paid the upfront and previously discussed payment, so I never went, thats 1 for you guys!! :) But, I think he may have gotten a member or 2, which sucks. Omg, I'll prolly run out of space here! Ive found him on a corner, doing god knows what, but he was wasted, looked lost, and I gave him a ride to some hotel. But man, this guy was some thing else. If he didnt drink like a fish and fall apart, 40 million people would fall for his BS!

  2. I recognise him as an older version of when were in Houston in our late 20s. (1980-2) He was with wife Tina then but not married. Tina was tiny! He took me to a few dinners and I went to a few bars with him. I was working for a Greek shipowner and Richard Lacroix did come up with an idea for salvaging oil from the Bay of Campeche blow out. He got no money out of me but I did all the work. He claimed Harvard education and that Tina went to Yale which he regarded as downmarket? He claimed a well connected family in Boston and "knew" the "Old Man" Kennedy. I do not think he was a Con back then just had a lot of big ideas. I overstayed my welcome at his house drinking whisky into the wee small hours of the night in the mistaken belief that Americans are night-birds who stay up late...in fact the old Puritan instinct is still alive and kicking. Tina got angry an d went to bed and Richard La Croix never spoke to me again.
