Though they had been ordered unsealed final week, particulars of prison fees in opposition to Alex Dee and Brian Kaplan stay beneath seal.
Jerry Maurer’s case has been unsealed although, and thru it we achieve perception into the 8 Determine Dream Life-style prison case.
There’s additionally reference to a fourth “co-conspirator”, suggesting 4 8 Determine Dream Life-style arrests may need been made.
As per the “info” submitting for Jerry Maurer, aka Jerrold Maurer, the New York resident has been charged with one depend of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
From on or about January 1, 2017, by on or about June 2019, within the District of Colorado and elsewhere, JERROLD MAURER, did knowingly and voluntarily conspire and agree with others, recognized and unknown, to commit an offense in opposition to the US, specifically, wire fraud, that’s, knowingly, willfully, and with the intent to defraud, having devised and intending to plan a scheme and artifice to defraud, and to acquire cash and property by the use of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and guarantees, to transmit and to trigger to be transmitted, by the use of wire communications in interstate and international commerce, writings, indicators, indicators, footage, and sounds, for the aim of executing such scheme and artifice, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, 1343.
It must be famous that Kaplan’s “info” submitting particulars one depend (more likely to even be conspiracy to commit wire fraud). Alex Dee has a sealed indictment on his docket, itemizing 5 counts of fraud.
What’s notably fascinating in Maurer’s info submitting is the record of “related people”;
1. Defendant, JERROLD MAURER, was a resident of New York.
2. Co-conspirator 1 (“CC-1”), was a resident of California.
3. Co-conspirator 2 (“CC-2”), was a resident of Colorado.
4. Co-conspirator 3 (“CC-3”), was a resident of Tennessee.
New York is Maurer. Dee is California and Kaplan is Colorado.
So who’s our 8 Determine Dream Life-style co-conspirator from Tennessee?
I’m 99.9% positive it’s John Bain. From the FTC’s civil 8 Determine Dream Life-style Grievance;
Defendant John A. Bain (“Bain”) is a member and principal of 8 Determine Dream Life-style. Defendant Bain is a Cookeville, Tennessee resident.
Bain arrange the 8 Determine Dream Life-style and “digital merchandise” ruse. He additionally did admin work for the rip-off.
What I don’t know is that if Bain has additionally been arrested. The DOJ’s January twelfth press-release states solely “three people” had been charged. And there’s no public case docket for Bain on Pacer.
Given Bain was an 8 Determine Dream Life-style insider and named co-conspirator by the DOJ, it appears odd he wouldn’t have additionally been charged.
Sadly pending additional info being made obtainable, that’s all we all know for now.
The remainder of Maurer’s info submitting confirms, as reviewed on BehindMLM in 2017, that 8 Determine Dream Life-style was an unlawful gifting pyramid scheme.
From no less than in or round January 2017 and persevering with till no less than in or round June 2019, MAURER, CC-1, CC-2, CC-3, and others operated 8FDL as an unlawful pyramid scheme.
In working this unlawful scheme, MAURER and his co-conspirators used advertising supplies that contained false and deceptive statements relating to the incomes potential for sufferer members of the scheme and materials omissions relating to the prices required to earn any revenue from shopping for into the scheme.
Forfeiture of Maurer’s ill-gotten beneficial properties is being sought, and can little question be included in sentencing.
Once more, undecided what’s going with the sealed filings within the 8 Determine Dream Life-style circumstances, however I’ll test again later within the week for updates.
