Rodolfo "Rudy" Villareal Jr. Rudy Scammer Thief Fraud Con Artist Lier Ponzi San DiegoInternet, California

The Government’s Theory of The Case

In 2007, the defendants solicited investments in Wealth Defense Group (“WDG”), an entity they represented would earn investors guaranteed profits through investments in humanitarian projects around the world. At least four victims – JC., CS., LD. and DL. – gave defendants funds to invest in WDG. The funds were never invested as promised. Instead, the funds were dissipated to a variety of individuals, including the defendants. The Government has provided the defendants with discovery pertaining to WDG, including interview reports, documents and financial records.

In 2008, the defendants solicited funds from another victim, AP., for a purported investment with a Swiss bank. Operating as through another entity, Lincoln Capital Holdings (“LCH”), the defendants dispersed the victim’s funds among themselves. Also in 2008, the defendants solicited for LCH from another victim, MC., again promising a risk-free investment in a Swiss bank with guaranteed returns. The Government has provided the defendants with discovery pertaining to LCH, including interview reports, documents and financial records.

In 2009, the defendants attempted to solicit investments from a cooperating witness. The meetings between defendants and the cooperating witness were video recorded. In those meetings, the defendants pitched various lucrative ventures whereby the witness purportedly could make enormous returns on a $10 million investment with no risk to his principal. According to the defendants, the witness would allow his bank to place a 1-year “administrative block” on an account holding at least $10 million so that unspecified traders could “ping” the account. In return, the witness would receive a 3:1 or 5:1 return on his funds ($30 million or $50 million) within 30 days. The witness could use the $50 million as he wished so long as the initial $10 million remained “blocked” in his account. According to the defendants, this investment was risk-free because the $10 million would never leave the witness’ bank account.

In 2010, an FBI undercover agent (“UC”) posed as a proposed investor to defendants. During recorded meetings with the UC, they represented that he had access to a “private system” utilized by the U.S. Treasury involving “international bills of exchange” and that this investment guaranteed a 20% weekly return with no risk to the investor’s principal. Among other things, they claimed that:

• Large public works projects in foreign countries are funded through buying and selling commercial paper through “programs” to which they had access.

• Investors in projects “will profit somewhere around a hundred percent a week” with a minimum $1 million investment.

• They encouraged the UC to invest in an “international bill of exchange program,” (“IBOE”) which he represented was a way for the U.S. Treasury to “generate revenue.”

• According to defendant, a foundation that owned a gold mine had deposited “quadrillions” of dollars of gold in the U.S. Treasury. The Treasury, in turn, issued IBOEs with the gold as a guarantee. The “group” defendant worked with would (1) obtain an IBOE, (2) deposit the IBOE with a bank and (3) obtain a line of credit from the bank for 75-85% of the IBOE’s value. The group’s traders would repay the bank loan, and the group would use 30% of the IBOE’s value to fund various international public works projects. According to defendant, the 30% was “basically a gift from the government,” but the group must pay 50% of the project’s profits to the U.S. Treasury. However, defendants group kept the remaining 50% of the project’s profit. The 50% of the project’s profits retained by defendants group was “free and clear money.” Moreover, the 50% profit retained by the group was not taxable.

 I see that Rudy is out free and have not heard what had happened with court. Did he get off scott free?

Rodolfo Pinzon Villareal Jr. "Rudy"  was indicted and arrested in San Diego today by the FBI.  It was a long time coming, but well worth the wait.

Some truth, some opinion.  I do have to pay for my mistakes.  YES.

Same questions, how do you feel about a year old man harrassing a  year old little girl?  

I am sure no one else on this would ever even consider doing something like that.  

Any thoughts Scott?  And why did you choose the name Tom Thumb?  Just curious.

Wow, you should install a breathalyzer on your keyboard! That’s one hell of a drunken sociopathic rant!

You certainly do have a warped sense of reality and truth. There are so many embellishments and lies in that story that I’m not sure where to begin. It would appear that you periodically accuse your victims of “going after” your children in an attempt to make people feel sorry for you. Good try.

First of all, I’ve never done anything to your children. Whatever incident you’re concerned about had absolutely nothing to do with me. I’m quite positive your daughter already knew what happened. She was with you the day you stole (defrauded) that money. Remember? I don’t harbor any ill will towards your children. I’m sad for them.  I think they deserve to have a father that sets good examples and is someone they can look up to. I’m fearful of the psychological damage that has been done to them already. I think you should stop blaming others for your own shortcomings and realize what you’ve done.

If you have concerns about your children being embarrassed or harassed about what their father does then, why did you defraud so many people? Surely you didn’t think you could keep them from finding out the truth. They’re getting older now and the word has spread about who you are and what you’ve done. Parents talk openly and children listen and have a tendency to repeat. You have no one to blame except yourself.

No one ever wanted to get rid of them. Just you.

Mistakes are something you do once, maybe twice if you didn’t learn the first time. You appear to have a 10 year history of making the same “mistakes”. At some point you need to judge a person by what they’ve accomplished. Your body of work will be judged by all the families you have stolen from and all the pain you’ve caused.

Not showing up to defend yourself against your accusers is not because you’re trying to do anyone any favors or somehow be nobel. It’s simply because you don’t what to face the people you’ve done this to. What defense could you possibly have? Letting your accusers be awarded a default judgment doesn’t help them in any way. They still have to collect, and the line of judgments against you goes around the block…. You may not be contesting your law suits, but you’re dammed sure not paying these people either.

Same thing applies with the Department of Corporations (6/2013).  Why would you not show up for your court dates? Why would you ignore your subpoena to produce all your records from 2011 to present? Could it be because you don’t have a license to sell ANY type of securities or give financial advice? Could it be because your “business” is the business of defrauding people. Possibly, because you have already been issued a desist and refrain order for the same type of illegal dealings?

So, let’s just get a couple facts straight. You were not involved in any of the settlement agreement process. You had been excluded by both your friend’s malpractice attorney as well as Mr. Krinsky. You would make appointments and promise to return the money and then never show up.

The money that was returned to me was not from you. It was from your friend’s malpractice attorney. The amount was not penalties and interest as you stated. It was an agreement to avoid a lawsuit that consisted of 96% of the original principal plus attorney fees. IT WAS NOT YOUR MONEY!

Yes, the civil piece of this has been satisfied (in my case). Unfortunately for you, Rudy you will still have to answer for the criminal piece of your actions. Not just for what you did to my family, but also the many others.

He, who laughs last, laughs hardest……. (Queue the Cop’s theme song here).

with Scott Wills owner of Sensible IT Solutions in San Diego and University City and his San Diego Attorney Dan Krinsky, is paying back the principle plus penalty really the end?

I'm looking for a little advice.....
First I want to say sorry again, even though it may now go over well.  But I am sorry for hurting any families.  I truly Am.  Also my email address is (((redacted))).  I know some have states that I am trying to get away with this but I am not. If you feel that you must file a suit and I actually owe you I will not fight it and will allow judgement for the principle I owe.  If you email me I will give you my phone number so we can talk. As I try and move forward and make ammends,  I now ask for advice.  an I think the best way to do this is to tell a story:

I convinced a man by the name of Scott Wills of University City, he owns a company named Sensible IT solutions, to invest 25k for a hard money loan that would pay him 20% return.  In the process I was told I would be getting a large some of money from an investment I made a few years prior.  So on my stupidly I did not do what I said I would with his money thinking I would be paid and would be able to give him the return and his principle anyway.  But of course it did not pay.  Truly God will not bless a lie.  

So I attempted to collect any money to pay Scott and others, I have to now rely on true ways and not sideways methods as before.  But the people that owe me money cannot pay.  So Scott Wills of University City, owner of Sensible IT Solutions, hired an attorney by the name of Dan Krinsky.  Attorney Dan Krinsky then contacted me to try and arrange the return on Scott's Wills' money.  I really tried but could only come up with 10k of the 25k.  Attorney Dan Krinsky of San Diego, then began to contact my attorney that I hired to draw up my business contracts.  

A lot of back and forth emails and texts messages and my failed attempts to pay Scott Back led to some very awful events.  My attorney drew up the contracts for me in good faith.  He did not know if my other investment that I was counting on.  But..... He is a new attorney, so Scott Wills of University City and his San Diego attorney began to blackmail my attorney into paying the balance of the 25k himself.  They threatened filing a complaint with the bar even though my attorney did nothing wrong.  

Dan Krinsky and Scott Wills began a string of phone calls, emails and text messages giving us deadline after deadline to pay or they would file agains my attorney.  Finally my attorney broke down and paid Scott Wills and Dan Krinsky 25k and I paid 10k to avoid any filings.  Scott was even "nice" enough an texted that after he got paid that we would move forward and he wouldn't do anything further.  I sent a copy of a settlement agreement to Attorney Dan Krinsky of San Diego that he refuse to have Scott Sign for some reason.  Finally my attorney sent in a settlement agreement that encompassed my name on it as well and then Attorney Dan Krinsky and Scott Wills owner of Sensible IT Solutions signed in exchange of cashiers checks retuning Wills' principle.  

So I would think that was it, return of principle plus some extra for expenses and we can move on.  But no more than a five minutes after I received confirmation that Scott Wills of University City he sent me a string of texts basically saying he didn't care that he got paid that he was going to keep harassing me.  He followed through.  He attempted to contact the athletic director at westview high school many times to basically report me.  So many times that the AD told me he was ready to report Scott for character.  

Scott even tried contacting a friend who basically told him to never contact him again because he lied about working with her before so he asked her to add him on linked in.  When she found out that Scott Wills lied to her she was furious.  I was even contemplating filing a restraining order because Scott was threatening to involve my children!  He threatened to contact my 12 year old daughter's basketball coach to try and have her kicked off the team.

WHAT DOES MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAVE TO DO WITH MY BUSINESS DEALINGS???  Why does Scott Wills owner of Sensible IT Solutions have to try and hurt my 12 year old daughter.  Well he tried, and I can share what the coach told me to you if you contact me personally.  I can even share with you what the AD at westview told me as well.  The basic is DO NOT INVOLVE THE KIDS WHO ARE INNOCENT AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED!

So.... I thought I let it go because nothing other than Scott Wills and the others I have hurt.  Even with Scott Wills still trying to contact my peers under some weird Tom Thumb email, I let it go.  But just recently my daughter.  The 12 year old middle schooler.  Got a message on her ask.fm account.  Of course anonymous.  But it's doesn't take a rocket scientist to assume who it is.  There's only one person who threatened to do that kin of thing.  Because most people would never hurt children no matter what their parents did!

So I now ask some advice,  what would you do if you made a huge mistake.  Stupid mistake.  But your kids had nothing to do with it.  Would you let someone go after your kids in anyway big or small?  What would you do?

One thing I really wish would happen is that Scott Wills and Dan Krinsky would file something like defamation or something like that.  That way I can present the emails and text messages as public record for the trial.

No matter what I did.  No matter what anyone does.  Children should be off limits.  Anyone involved in attacking innocent children should not be allowed to do so.  Should they?

I hope all the IT training and knowledge can hide your identity through layers of VPNs or what ever.  Still YOUR ARE WRONG FOR ATTACKING A 12 YEAR OLD!  WRONG!

Definitely sounds like Rudys handy work. He has absolutely no remorse for what he does. He will steal from and cheat anyone that gives him a chance. Send me your name and number to this email tthumbsandiego@gmail.com and I will give you a call. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know how you feel and what it does to a family as well. I will tell you what I know and help get you started. I want nothing from you. I just want to see Rudy get what he deserves. I will be there the day they throw his a** in jail!

The original address he gave me was for La Harina Ct., and then I got the Avenida de los Lobos address. Avenue of the Wolves... quite fitting.

Well my story is that I came into this through a friend whom I trust. This person vouched for Rudy. Thru this contact Rudy said that he had a church friend that needed to get money out of his hedge fund immediately for a family emergency (can't remember if it was healthcare related or what), but anyway because the contract term was not up for this person who had all their money tied up in Rudy's fund, they were willing to pay a 20% fee to have someone else take their place because they needed to get out of it NOW.

All that needed to happen was for me to "invest" in his fund and we could get that 20% fee after about three weeks when the contract was up. I say ok and, like an idiot, I wired him the money the same day. Three weeks came and went and there's an excuse about some bond sale that needed to happen, and he needs more time. Again, we wait and ask him for details, again there's some sort of excuse. Then he says the funds have been frozen by the bank or the government or whoever and that he was going to try and get us the funds through another deal he was working on. Rinse and repeat for many many months. Finally, I smell the BS and decide to do some research and end up here.

As I'm reading through all of the comments, my heart sank and I felt like I was going to be sick. I have (what for me is) a lot of money that I'm now kissing goodbye to. Just as tax season is rolling around, too. I'm pissed off at myself for falling for this, and that rage now has turned into a quest for justice. My friend that introduced us is of course embarrassed but maintains that he has every intention of paying me back and there's no reason to believe otherwise and that Rudy just needs more time and he has had a string of bad investments. I'm totally convinced of the opposite, so here I am trying to make the best of a terrible situation that I got myself in.

Thanks for the link, I'll do some research there.

I don't have a lot of resources, and that means I can't part with this as easily as some of the wealthier people here who can make that money back quickly. Not trying to minimize their loss in any way at all, but I'm saying I'm feeling the sting pretty hard. So yes, I'm definitely a victim and I'm wiling to talk to anyone that'll listen. But I'm weary of getting into another scam/trap again coming off fresh from this one which is why the post is short on names, amounts and so on. Of course, I'm willing to release all the details and name names, numbers, documents or whatever else will further the cause if I feel like it won't compromise the safety of my family because I've already had a scare at my house (someone threw an egg at my window at 1:26AM) shortly after my last post and although it could be a coincidence, I have no idea who I'm dealing with.

Very interesting choice of author name. Id like to verify that we are in fact talking about the same Rudy Villareal.
 
The Rudy Im speaking of is a coach at WestView High school. Also, and without coincidence ($$$), attends Horizons church in Rancho Santa Fe. Furthermore, he has his children involved in basketball clubs in Rancho Santa Fe ($$$) and in La Jolla ($$$) at one of the most expensive private schools in the county. Rudy likes to use his childrens functions and his church to find fish for new victims.
 
His last know address is on Avenida De Los Lobos San Diego, CA 92127. This is his parents house and Rudy doesnt live there. This is a three-bedroom home that already has 3/4 people living there. Rudy his wife Jennifer and five children dont let anyone know exactly where they live (the just use this address when asked).
 
Also, his scam (fraud) usually involves some sort of financial opportunity either through bridge loans, hedge funds, or property investments. This is all basically a front to keep his Ponzi scheme going.
 
If in fact we are talking about the same person, Id like to hear your story before I tip my hand to you. I will say that there are many people involved and youre not alone. Rudy has been doing this for a lone time.
 
Post your story, provide some sort a verifiable info (when, how, where) and I will find a way to provide advice / help. You should move quickly.
 
This will help get you started on who this man really is.

I, too have been scammed and am trying to find a place to join with others and take action against Mr. Villareal. Does anyone have any info or a group or something where we can hook up and plan action?
