After requesting refund he said "you will never get it" I called cops. But quickly left when saw who I was calling. Name? Larry crane 70 year old crook.

I signed up for live class for us $395.00 in Chicago Radisson hotel des planes. From the first day it was obvious he was full of s**t. By the last day I asked for a refund-denied

Let's start with Larry Crane. Claims to be "self-made millionaire businessman, author and teacher to Fortune 500 executives and partner to billionaires." yet there is no record of his name ever being anywhere near stardom. Just do the research and there is nothing behind it.

At the class he showed up wearing a suit that looked like he had pulled it out of a Kleenex box. Completely unacceptable for a speaker. He wore the same outfit all 3 days. You might argue that a humble serene person does not try to impress as he is very happy with himself, believe me this is not the case. I saw him impatiently chewing on candy as the class progressed. This from a guy who claims to have reached "the ultimate".

He claims he hasn't seen a doctor for 25 years. Well the second day he was sneezing and coughing just like many other people in the audience. I thought he knew how to let go of that?

Here is a guy selling off the work of "Lester Levenson". Editing his material where necessary, to refer to the originally called Sedona method as “the release technique”. Making outrageous claims the same which are disclaimed off on the website. And I quote from the website “NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE RESULTS SIMILAR TO OURS OR ANYBODY ELSES, IN FACT NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE ANY RESULTS FROM OUR IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES IN OUR MATERIAL.” (releasetechnique.com/disclaimer.htm)

Now I have read 3 books by Lester and he is no joke. It's Larry the one trying to get some bread teaching a technique he knows nothing about.The class itself was nothing more than him reading "the abundance course" aloud which you can just listen by getting the original course.

At other times he would just play a Lester Levenson recording and let people listen to it. These recordings are either available for free on the website or are included in the abundance course

About 60% of the class was just Larry crane promoting his numerous other products which he claims where made by Lester. But I now know all of these where adapted by Larry to make it a more marketable package.

At the class whenever someone rejected his information he simply asked them to see it as a wanting of “approval control or safety” so any question that didn't serve him was turned away in that manner. He also claimed “his work” was better than the movie “the secret” and that the secret was a load of crap

At times he would run out of things to say and just tell stories… or waste time asking people stupid questions.

At the second day he asked for $25 dollars in singles for “a fun exercise” in wich people would roll on top of 1 dollar bills and pretend to be billionaires.

That same day (2nd) he announced that lunch for the next day just HAPPENED to be 25 dollars. He stressed it was paramount to order lunch and eat at the hotel because we were to participate in a special exercise. The next day came I ordered lunch and I being a bodybuilder decided to just get 5 4oz chicken breasts and nothing else because most of the other food was unhealthy. He told me “there is not enough for every one make sure you only take 2”What? I quickly put the food back in the buffet and left to subway.

When I came back, there where 4 big trays full of chicken breasts. No one ate them and they where put away. Also there was no exercise during lunch it was just a trick so he could collect some money.

People in line noticed the indelicacy of asking me to put the food down after I had paid 25 dollars for a buffet. I knew what had happened but I just smiled and went on with the program. Later that day a person approached me and told me what Larry had done was an “a** hole thing to do” and “he totally fu***d up”

After I came back from subway he tried to make it up to me by having a busboy bring me food to my table after I had already eaten. I declined. So he told the bus boy to put it in a box. Again I was not hungry and after what he had done I didn't want anything from him.

After the course ended the third day I waited until Larry was alone. And told him nicely I think this is a load of crap I would like my money back”
He replied “there are no refunds. I said I needed the money for the buffet and the money I paid for the course back“There is no refunds” said he I said fine and contacted the local police.

Before the police got there he gave me 25 for the buffet but took off with the remaining 395.00 He left for California before police got there; they suggested I took him to court. Me?

I did the abundance course religiously 4 times over a period of 4 months. I had high expectations to say the least. But when I saw Larry I knew he was everything but a teacher I would want to learn from. Gave him 3 days and proved it to me.The $395.00? They will come right back to me.

Had I seen a report like this one I would have never signed up for the class. Hope someone sees it and saves themselves the trouble.

POSTED: Monday, April 09, 2007
In February, Mr. Y took a live Abundance Course from me in Chicago. Mr. Y came into the class with a chip on his shoulder and did not participate in most of the exercises held during the class.

I have been teaching the Release Technique for over 30 years and never had one person react like Mr. Y. The course is an experiential course and not a lecture. We are actually teaching people how to let their negativity go on an experiential level.

When I noticed Mr. Y was sitting back and judging what was going on, myself and my staff spent a considerable amount of extra time to try and help him. I'm talking about a total of a few hours with him personally.

It is clear to me that he showed up to totally make us wrong. I will be more than pleased to have somebody within your organization call up each and every one of the 47 people that were in the course to find out what their reaction was to the program and the benefits they received during this weekend.

We have a luncheon prepared by each hotel that we do this course on Sunday afternoon because we have a lot of material to cover so we need this time so that students can work with each other during the meal time and get the mazimum out of this course. We ask everybody to chip in $25 for the hotel-prepared meal.

Mr. Y did chip in his $25 and while in line to pick up the meal, he proceeded to take six portions for himself. When I asked him to wait until others received their meals (which was specifically prepared for each student by the hotel), he immediately got insulted and walked out. All I was asking him to do was wait until others got served, then he could have more.

When he came back with his Subway sandwich, I offered for him to take all the food he wanted now that everyone had been fed. He refused.

When the exercise which was being worked on by the students during lunch was finally presented in the classroom, Mr. Y again refused to participate.

When asked what Mr. Y, a young man from Columbia, did for a living, he told us he worked out for a living. Again, another example of tremendous arrogance from this man.

Had he been unhappy after the first evening, even though it is not our policy to give refunds for a live class, I would have given him a refund. However, the young man stayed through the whole class and never once complained or asked for his money back excpet for the very end of the entire class. I equate his behavior like someone who goes to a restaurant and eats the entire meal, never once complaining. After the meal is over, he asks for his money back.

This young man seems to be extremely disturbed and while we tried to help and satisfy him, it just seems like no matter what we did, we could not satisfy him.

Since my staff and myself live in Los Angeles, when the class was over, we had to go to the airport to catch the last plane out of Chicago so that we could be home that evening.

As the police told him, if he had a problem with us it is a civil matter not a criminal matter.

It is unfortunate that this man refused to learn a process that has been taught to thousands of students over 30 years. We only wish him all the best and hope he finally finds some peace of mind.

Yours truly,
Lawrence Crane
