Report Violation posted by MrAnonymous on Aug 30, 2008 at 01:26 PM Let me get this straight... he owns a Christian music label, but also has a tatoo that says "If it were not for Christians, I would be a Christian". This right here should be a simple self imposed contradiction that tells us all we need to know about what type of man he is.
I knew James and Regina for years, and it is easy to pass judgement on both as being criminals from the outside looking in. However, Gina is absolutely correct when she says his record speaks for itself. Her record speaks for itself too. She doesn't have one!
I heard a while back that James was operating in Clark County, and had no doubts in my mind that he was running the same cons. His cons are very simple, work under false business liscences, get checks deposited into his accounts over the course of several months, then put off the jobs as long as he can while filling the bank account, then disappear.
The fact of the matter is that this man is not just a con man, but also a nutcase. Back in 2003 it seemed that he lost all touch of reality, and his narcassistic tendencies completely took hold of him.
The real truth is that he basically went crazy in 2003 and started intimidating his wife and child, and then he eventually disappeared because his crimes were about to catch up to him. Meanwhile, he left his wife and 8 year old child completely desolate. Gina tried her best to forge a new life for herself and her child from complete scratch, but it was tough. As is the case with many battered wife or girlfriend, it should come as no surprise that she went back to James in Las Vegas in 2005 only to have the same thing happen to her. At least that time, she was brave enough to leave him. And no she did not clean out bank accounts, she chose to leave all posessions and money behind just to get away from him.
The last I heard is that she and their child moved back home to Lamont to live with family with not a dime to her name. I am amazed that she has actually made it this far. It really says a lot about the strength of her character. A lot of other women never truely get out of situations like that.
It is troubling to see people posting responses to this article that she is as much of a criminal as he is. I would venture a guess that these people never really knew her, and are only using a "guilt by association" assumption. There is a reason why James is being routinely arrested, and has been running from multiple felony charges in multiple counties for years. There is also a reason why Gina does not have a single warrant or investigation in any county or city in this country... she has done nothing wrong. She has never been hard to find. If there were any grounds to arrest her, it would have happened already.
Her's is truely a sad story of a life shattered by a man she thought she knew when she married him. Sometimes spouses just snap and go off the deep end. If you do not believe this to be true, turn on the TV or open a news paper. Go talk to the parents of Laci Peterson or the ex-husband of Susan Smith, and they will tell you all you need to know about spouses that appeared to be great people upon first impressions but truely are anything but great.
I am very happy to see that James might actually have to face the consequences of his crimes after about a decade of runining lives. Many people have suffered from his cons. Most of those people should be thankful that their suffereing has only been financial in nature. Gina unfortunately has suffered financially, physically, and emotionally. I have no doubt that her child has suffered as well.
For those that believe that Gina is every bit the con artist that James is, I challenge you to try to get her arrested. The article tells you quite clearly that she is in Lamont. Good luck... she has nothing to hide, and she is hiding from no one.
Report Violation posted by notatroll on Aug 30, 2008 at 04:33 PM Glancing over the blog titles I saw this one and my first thought was Oh, did they finally file charges against David Crisp?
Report Violation posted by RobertRobertski on Aug 31, 2008 at 04:47 PM Hey if Gina has all of the money do you think I can get some of mine back???
Report Violation
A lie blended with the truth is harder to determine than either an outright lie or the complete truth.
