"Yeah, he's no longer there, I don't have exact details but I think someone else took over his work".

So when you say all that, does that mean Remotei as a whole, moneys, orders etc as well ?

Why do you think this? also when you say "left town" girl friend kids the lot or has he gone to jail,

We seem to be doing so well, now it seems that news of Rhandle and Remotei have slowed down. Has he got away with it?

I think Rhandal sold the business and moved to another town. I know he still owes a lot of people money.

I have not heard anything myself for a while. The last email that I received from Rhandal was in Feb. indicating that my refund would be issued through his attorney.....yeah right! I left a message with his attorney for an update some time ago and she did not return my call. I figured that the DA would be contacting me sometime soon regarding the court date but I guess that he has once again slipped through the cracks.

If anyone is interested in contacting either the DA or his attorney for an update please refer to the numbers below. Unfortunately, I have not had any luck finding out the status, maybe someone else will and post the information.

Rhandal's Attorney: Tara Ford 805-962-3344
District Attorney: Mary Barron 805-568-2433

I don't want to discourage any of you who got burned by Rhandal, but the sad reality is that prosecuting scam artists has become a very low priority in this country.

Five years ago, after hearing a talk radio interview with a local "hot shot" tax lawyer and CPA, I made an appointment to talk to the guy about some complicated tax issues I was having with a family partnership.

We met... I explained my situation... and he asked for a $250 retainer, so I wrote him a check. That same night, he called me at home, told me that there was great urgency in my situation to act quickly, and that I would need to give him another $3500 to handle the case. I went down the next day, and wrote him another check. He faxed me a Power of Attorney form, which I signed, and faxed to the IRS.

Then the excuses started... the phone calls went unreturned. At one point, we met for lunch. He drove, in his bright red Jaguar convertible. I bought lunch. He assured me that everything was under control, and that a resolution would be had shortly. Then he disappeared.

Six months later, I read in the local paper that he had been indicted in Federal Court for setting up bunches of bogus businesses in Costa Rica, and that he had burned dozens of local folks for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He finally went to trial, was found guilty of bilking the IRS for 3 to 6 million dollars. He was sentenced to four months in the La Tuna Federal Prison, near El Paso.

I just spent $60 for filing fees, and $100 for service fees with the El Paso County Sheriff, and had him served with a small claims summons, right before he was released from prison.

I will be astounded if he answers the summons. I'll get a "Default Judgement" which will make a nice wall decoration, and the scum bag lawyer will have beat the system. The last newspaper article about him said that his net worth was about $4.6 million.

So if the Feds can't do better on their own $5 mil losses, than a four month prison term, what hope does Joe Public have against weasels like this?

It's a sorry time that we live in..... Shakespeare had it right.
Kill the lawyers!

Hi all,
Its been a long haul but things are happening. Rhandal is back in court to face his felony charge from the gentleman in arizona. His next court date is July 17th. You can call Mary at the DA office to find out exactly the time. I saw her number on an earlier post. I called her and told her my story. the more of you that contact her, and share your story with her, the more it will help. We are filing a felony case against him now also. We sued him and won 1.4 million. But try to collect is a pain in the butt. Also he does not have that kind of money. But he does have some money because he hired an attorney to defend him against his current felony. He is claiming to just be a bad business man.
He skipped town and moved up to san jose we think. He got a job with some company up there. If anyone wants to work with me to find him, let me know. The 17th of july at the santa barbara courthouse would be a good place to find him.
This crap has been going on for long enough. I am dedicated to putting this jerk in jail. I will not give up.

How about being a bad person? Or a thief? How about a downright criminal who will rot in jail for a few years while all his assets are liquidated in order to pay off all his debts?

He used the "I am just a bad business person excuse" in a 1997 felony trial. If we all get in touch with the DA "Mary" it will help her case.
He is nothing but a criminal, low life, scam artist, and every time his lips are moving he is lying. Mary will be back after july 7. Her number is in one of the post above.
He had skipped out of SB and moved his family up near San Jose I think.
I heard that he just lost the job he got up there. Hmmm, I wonder why?
Maybe his new employer did not like liars, scam artist, and folks who could not finish a single project!!!
I got a judgment against him but it is like someone already posted. "It looks great to hang on the wall" but collecting on it is extremely difficult.
I went after the parts and pieces of my unfinished order. I figured that I could get my hands on that and hire his ex engineers or offer them a piece of my project and try to get my dream of the last 10 years going. I did meet the nice gentleman that bought Rhandals tools and he was working on my project. He will be working with me now and not rhandal to finish the project.
All I need now is money!!! I am still paying on the loans that I took out to start my business 4 years ago. Everything would have been great if Rhandal had come through on his contract with me. He screwed me good. Of all the people that I could have contacted about making our unit, and I had to pick him. I would like him to go to jail for awhile.

NEWS UPDATE!!!!!!
Rhandal pleaded no contest to the felony charge that "Adam" filed against him. His sentencing will be on sept 8. The DA thinks he will get one year in jail and probation for 5 years. Way to go Adam!!!! One guy brings him down. I know this has been going on a long time but now all of you can do something about this. Please contact Mary Barron at 805 568 2433. She is the DA that is prosecuting Rhandal. She has asked me to contact as many of you as I can so that you can write a simple letter to the court (send it to her at Mary E Barron, Deputy District Attorney, County of Santa Barbara, 1112 Santa Barbara street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Her number is 805 568 2433.)
E-mail= mbarron@co.santa-barbara.ca.us
Anyone in the california area that can make it to the sentencing call mary and she can put you on the stand to testify about how rhandal ripped you off. I am going to be there.
This is your best chance to see that Rhandal gets what he deserves. So please at least write an e-mail to mary to tell her your story. We might be able to put him in jail longer. IT is easy to send an e-mail so please please do it. We need as many folks to tell there story as possible. We have all been involved in this for a long time so dont give up now. Make a difference like Adam did!!!!!!!! Lets take this criminal off the streets for as long as we can.
And to "TC GLider"...I disagree with you in part about folks like rhandal getting a low priority from the law. the law just takes a long time but it does move along.(people have to become involved or nothing will happen, its not the laws fault, it is the determination of the victims that does make a difference and together we can send him to jail) This is just the start of Rhandals consequences. If anymore of you filed a felony against him he would go to jail for a long time. In this country, 3 felonies and your done.
Also the feds have not even started on him yet. Tax fraud, tax evasion, he never paid taxes on his employees since 2004. His employees filed and had to fill out a form that stated they did not receive W-2s from remote I. Rhandal has never paid his taxes, personal or business. Time for Rhandal to be stopped!!!

Congratulations.... I hope Rhandal gets what he richly deserves....

>And to "TC GLider"...I disagree with you in part about folks like rhandal getting a low priority from the law. the law just takes a long time but it does move along.<

I can only speak to this from my own experience. As it happens, almost six years after I wrote a check for $3500 to Matthew E. Cohen, J.D., L.L.M., CPA, I'm going to municipal court next Wednesday morning.

I had him served in the La Tuna Federal Penitentiary. (Where he served 4 months... not the 4 years that the U.S. Attorneys speculated, in the local newspaper.) He burned the IRS for something in the 3.5 to 5 million dollar range. He burned local clients (in fees, and penalties that they had to pay because of his shennanigans) for something in the $700 K range. Presently, he is living under house arrest in Phoenix.

He responded to my summons (using the address of his mother's house here in Albuquerque) claiming that he performed $3500 worth of services for me. In fact, all he did was FAX me an IRS Power of Attorney form.
And is claiming that my complaint is not valid because the statute of limitations has run out.

If the judge agrees with this "Statute of Limitations" nonsense... you can all beware. "Licensed Professionals" can rip you off, slither off under a rock, and if they manage to hide long enough, the legal system will step up on their behalf.

This guy closed and vacated his office, shut off his phones, and disappeared 5 years ago. It took the IRS 3 years to find him, convict him, and give him a four month, slap on the wrist. He ripped off the U.S. Taxpayers for something between 3.5 and 5 million... meanwhile, the newspaper reports his net worth at $4.6 million...

I'm cooperating with another attorney, who represents a client that Mr. Cohen burned for $400,000. Ironically, the attorney that I am helping recommended Cohen to his client... to handle IRS matters that he felt were too complicated to do himself....

Even if I do get a favorable judgement next Wednesday, it is still basically a meaningless piece of paper. You can bet that this weasel has hidden all of his assets, and there will be no way for me to collect.

Anyway... I'm glad that Rhandal is going to have a new residence soon, but it still doesn't get any money back to those of you who were victimized by him.
