Re: Fauna BOI Thread Regarding Chuck Kimmel Auction and Wise Reptiles
well I certainly hope that there is a way to compile all of these charges into one large charge. Not sure how all of that works....but they really do need to go to jail.

How long do you really think it would be until they ended up with some type of traffic stop, or something? At the very least they'd be arrested pending extradition whether or not it happened. Also out of all the people that donated, and the monies were stolen there are a few different states that we're in so there could just as well be one or two that will take this serious.
Also charges of internet fraud with the FBI might ( I say might because I'm no expert on the subject ) be taken a bit more serious since there was a good number of victoms. Maybe?
Multiple warrants could at least cause the Wise's stress and inconvenience and would have value.

I don't know any of the people involved here but I do know I aint giving any one a check of mine, heck I don't even like sending a check to the electric company. Pay-Pal will allow you to set up accounts for donations, that is the only way to share your money with someone you don't know on the internet, for me atleast.

It's now coming to light that these people also tried to get free baby items for resale by using a stolen ultrasound image showing that she was pregnant with triplets. She got busted on that.
Seems to be a pattern of trying to prey on peoples generosity on various forums. They are now packing up and moving and told everyone they WILL NOT return the stolen funds.

Re: Fauna BOI Thread Regarding Chuck Kimmel Auction and Wise Reptiles
Hey all...if you were considering sending monies to Maggies paypal please do not this time....you can read Robin's link. Apparently the Un-Wise's froze Maggies paypal account and are asking for $800- in reverse charges.
Re: Fauna BOI Thread Regarding Chuck Kimmel Auction and Wise Reptiles
I'm not too fond of Fauna either but it is a great place to get the info you need when purchasing reptiles. They do also band together when something like this happens. Regardless of attitude otherwise, I have the utmost respect for the members for being such a faithful community. What the Wise's did was absolutely horrible and cowardly. They deserve all the press they get. Everyone has been notified too. All the police dept's, news agencies, DCFS, IRS internet fraud division, paypal, every forum and profile website you could imagine, and even talk show hosts.
They will not be able go anywhere without this being there. This is an amazing and wonderful thing the members over there are doing and I hope they all keep it up until these 2 are convicted of a crime for their actions.
