Nicholas Del Franco Nick Del Franco, Tom Del Franco, Tiffany Del Franco, Jason B. Cruz Stole Money Redlands CA

I am writing to warn anyone who knows or hears from Nicholas “Nick” Del Franco, his father, Tom Del Franco and his girlfriend, Tiffany; NOT to do business with them in any capacity. Upon initial introduction, all 3 individuals seem like normal, upstanding citizens BUT that could not be farther from the truth. Tiffany especially is an overly emotional person who does not know when to talk and when to be quiet. When around her you can hear constant complaints about anything and everything and you often wonder what value she brings to any situation.

Nick has repeatedly proven himself to be a professional con man, originally from the New York / New Jersey area now living and frequenting the Laguna Beach and Marietta communities of California after moving around the country defrauding people. He claims to have significant experience working in various capacities in the legal, gray and black markets of the U.S. Cannabis industry.

He supposedly has created or worked with various companies within the industry including but not limited to: Mad Hatter Nutrients, Homestead Hydro, Pharma Serve (Colorado & California) and Green House Leasing. Each of these companies either are in default, websites do not exist or simply do not have any online or physical presence.

Similar to most con-men, Nick is very good at blending the truth within his stories to make his lies seem believable to even the most skeptical. He often uses attorneys to help legitimize his business dealings but everything is a façade with no legitimacy to any of it. He has left a long trail of disgruntled past clients, partners and investors in his wake from Michigan to Florida, Colorado, California and now Hawaii. Doing a simple Google search on his name leaves a long list of examples of fraudulent dealings throughout the country. Please spare yourself the headache and DO NOT do any business with these people no matter what they tell you.

There are several more recent examples I have learned regarding Nick and his usual way of doing business. Now in California, he continues to defraud individuals using the tactic of over promising and never delivering. My partner and I have personally wired him tens of thousands of dollars to his attorney Jason Cruz, Esq. from Redlands, California to hold in escrow to use in future dealings and secure inventory.

None of which ever ended up being delivered even though the monies were spent. I have also learned of several other people that have tried doing business with Nick. Each story ends the same way despite the circumstances surrounding each situation, with Nick taking all of the money and never making good on his end of the deal.

If you are reading this please do yourself a favor and never do business with Nick or Tom Del Franco or Nick’s girlfriend Tiffany.   You will save yourself a lot of money, time and headache. People like him should not be allowed to participate in the emerging legal cannabis and hemp industries as they have enough work to do to become legitimate to mainstream America without someone like Nick causing the irreparable harm that he does.
