John Rogers Home and Business Searched by the FBI

[calvindog]

Well, I just hope he didn't have any loose Wagners in the couch cushions. Those FBI agents can sometimes get sticky fingers.

It's odd that no reason was given for the search. The FBI probably wanted to quietly seize that big stash of those vintage J. Edgar Hoover cross-dressing photos.

I didn't know that two of his employees were busted for stealing from him...perhaps they told the FBI something that sent them in there?

Reading between the lines of the article, you make a compelling hypothesis.

I have never heard of this guy, but on the point of not putting the reason you are searching someone's home or business on the search warrant.......is that legal? We can search your home or business, but you don't get to know why?

I'm not a lawyer, but something seems wrong about that.

It's fairly obvious they've searched these premises for evidence of a crime. At this point, putting a broad criminal statute on a search warrant will hardly provide any information of what the specific purpose of the search is. I'm sure his lawyer called the prosecutor and has learned all that needs to be known at this time.

It's a pretty horrible thing to happen but I have had times where the FBI has searched a premises for two straight days and no charges were ever brought. And I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I wonder what they took?

"About a year ago, two of Rogers’ former employees pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud for diverting funds from customers to their own Paypal accounts. Christopher Jackson and Steve Roby also stole thousands of photographs from Rogers and sold many on eBay, according to government prosecutors.

Jackson received a 33-month prison sentence and two years of supervised release. He was ordered to pay more than $138,000 in restitution. Roby was sentenced last July to a year and a half in prison, a year of supervised release and $138,000 in restitution."

I understand. I just thought that in order to obtain a search warrant, the first step would be to go to a judge with your evidence that a crime has been committed, and you have reason to suspect that evidence is within the home or business. The judge signs off on it, and the search warrant is written up with the details of the evidence they are looking for.

In this fashion, it seems as though they can just be "looking for whatever", instead of "looking for something in particular".

I do know that this would be incredibly embarrassing- two days of searching with no charges brought- amazing.

Sincerely, Clayton

Of course, the warrant specifies what can be taken. But the materials identified are often very broad: computers, correspondence, financial records, etc.

Like an IRS audit without the glitz...

Maybe he bought the bats from Gibson?!?

Wasn't the Wagner that Rogers bought the one that was auctioned off in Goldin Auctions last year?

Interesting that Mr. Nash posts an "Editor's Note" explaining that he has been involved in lawsuits with Fraser, Lifson and REA but fails to point out that those parties have huge civil judgments against him, judgments that, I presume, are based on his fraud and therefore cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. No ax to grind there.

You are correct The Fraser’s Judgment and Lifson’s Judgment against Nash are grounded in fraud so therefore the Judgments cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Fraser’s Judgment collect 8.5% interest and Lifson’s 10%. Peter Nash has a minority interest in the McGreevy’s bar in Boston and Lifson collects all of Nash’s money from the bar which amounts to approximately $50,000 per year. It’s too bad that Nash doesn’t own more of the bar. I was told by Bekim Laiqi that Nash owed one of Bekim’s cousin’s approximately $50,000 back in 2008 so Nash sold 10% of his interest in the bar for $75,000 to pay off this debt. John Iannuzzi an FBI Agent told me it’s not wise to borrow money from the Albanians. John Iannuzzi is an FBI agent that called me a few times asking me questions about Peter Nash. This same FBI agent told me Nash is trying to save himself with this Hauls of Shame website. As an interesting note FBI agent Iannuzzi told me Peter Nash hung up the phone on him.

Doesn't sound too politically correct for a federal agent. Downright inappropriate. jes sayin

That may be true but that’s what he said. But he didn’t mean it in a bad way. This same FBI agent wasn’t happy with Nash putting his name on his website so Nash was told to take it down. I was told by Bekim Laiqi that he and his cousins has a huge amount of memorabilia as collateral that Peter Nash gave them against money Nash borrowed from them. I was later told by somebody close to the Nash’s, Angela Thomas that Peter owed them $300,000. Let’s put it this way Bekim is a nice guy but I wouldn’t want to owe him money. As Bekim told me they don’t do lawsuits they take care of it in their own way. In early 2010 Bekim called me and asked me if I had Peter Nash’s address, I told him I do and gave it to him. They paid Nash an unannounced visit and I was told Peter Nash ended up pawning all the memorabilia to some pawnshop dealer in NY State. This pawnshop dealer is Kevin Gottlieb and has a location in Albany called Albany gold buyers 1321 Central Ave, Albany, NY and another location in Utica, NY call AAA Cash Corner. I visited Kevin Gottlieb and he’s some character. He wanted to sell me a Hugh Duffy scrap book and some frame thing relating to the 1909 Pittsburgh Pirate having a celebration at the Waldorf Astoria that had many signatures on it. When I ask to see the rest of Nash’s stuff he told me I had to put $100,000 in escrow to prove that I’m a serious buyer, so I left. Below is some information on Kevin Gottlieb. My gut feeling was Nash was trying to get the stuff back but couldn’t.

I probably would not quote an FBI agent on a forum, as a courtesy to the agent.

Quoting an agent is probably ok but I definitely wouldn't list his name.

a milquetoast, a major thumbs up to Mr. Ivy. And I bet that was the same type of email which got Travis Roste banned from Heritage.
