Rod Rieman, a nationally known con artist and dealer of financial Ponzi scams and fraudulent Healthcare plans, is a member of this church.

After scamming over 150 families and senior citizens at Community Christian Church in Naperville, IL, Rod Rieman moved to St.Charles, IL and joined Riverside Community Church hoping to sell risky financial scams and fraudulent medical insurance to a new congregation of unsuspecting people.

Rod Rieman is not licensed in the State of Illinois to pedal securities or financial advice. If you deal with Rod Rieman you will loose your money. Rod Rieman cannot tell the truth!

After scamming over 150 families out of their savings, Rod Rieman has filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to avoid paying his debts and to avoid any Civil Suits that may be filed against him. In 1 civil suit that was filed against Rod Rieman by a Mr. Chase, the judge awarded Mr. Chase $1,388,000 in damages. This is why Rod Rieman is filing for bankruptcy.

Here are the details of Rod Riemans Chapter 7 Bankruptcy petition showing his debts, assets and income.

The below facts and figures are public record and can be found at the Northern Illinois Bankruptcy court.
Case # 1-07-bk-04327 Roderick J Rieman
Case type: bk Chapter:7 Honorable Judge Manuel Barbosa
Date filed: 03/12/2007

Chapter 7: Liquidation of debts.

($245 filing fee, $39 administrative fee, $15 trustee surcharge:Total fee $299)

1. Chapter 7 is designed for debtors in financial difficulty who do not have the ability to pay their existing debts. Debtors whose debts are primarily consumer debts are subject to a "means test" designed to determine whether the case should be permitted to proceed under chapter 7. If your income is greater than the median income for your state of residence and family size, in some cases, creditors have the right to file a motion requesting that the court dismiss your case under 707(b) of the Code. It is up to the court to decide whether the case should be dismissed.

2. Under chapter 7, you may claim certain of your property as exempt under governing law. A trustee may have the right to take possession of and sell the remaining property that is not exempt and use the sale proceeds to pay your creditors.

3. The purpose of filing a chapter 7 case is to obtain a discharge of your existing debts. If, however, you are found to have committed certain kinds of improper conduct described in the Bankruptcy Code, the court may deny your discharge and, if it does, the purpose for which you filed the bankruptcy petition will be defeated.

4. Even if you receive a general discharge, some particular debts are not discharged under the law. Therefore, you may still be responsible for most taxes and student loans; debts incurred to pay nondischargeable taxes; domestic support and property settlement obligations; most fines, penalties, forfeitures, and criminal restitution obligations; certain debts which are not properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; and debts for death or personal injury caused by operating a motor vehicle, vessel,
or aircraft while intoxicated from alcohol or drugs. Also, if a creditor can prove that a debt arose from fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or theft, or from a willful and malicious injury, the bankruptcy court may determine that the debt is not discharged.

3. Bankruptcy Crimes and Availability of Bankruptcy Papers to Law Enforcement Officials

A person who knowingly and fraudulently conceals assets or makes a false oath or statement under penalty of perjury, either orally or in writing, in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both. All information supplied by a debtor in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to examination by the Attorney General acting through the Office of the United States Trustee, the Office of the United States Attorney, and other components and employees of the Department of Justice.
