Complaint Review: JCK Jewelers - Lake Forest California

Everything that Mr. Greg Keller reports here is true, unfortunately. The truth of this situation, should anyone need to know, is that Mr. Dearaujo (aka Anderson) was in fact, ripping off hundreds of people for MILLIONS of dollars. He had at least 12 different aliases since he hit the US in 1984 or so. He also was watched and busted for drug trafficking in 1990 and spent 3 years in prison for that. He then was released, and raped me in 1995 (I found out I wasn't the only one), at which point I got pregnant (Again, not the only one). I chose to keep the baby, and I chose to ignore all the waving red flags that swirled around him because of my own ignorance, and high moral standards. He is absolutely a pathological liar. He will become anyone you want him to be to get what he wants out of you. He is a sociopath. We were marrried for 10 years, and had 3 children together. Unbenownst to me, he had severe alcoholism and addiction to cocaine that progressed to methamphetamine use. Mr. Waldir De Costa was his best friend, who Ivan also ripped off and used his name illegally and forged his name on legal documents, who fled when he saw what Ivan was doing. Ivan forged my name on legal documents too. I did have a pottery business, and Ivan set it up and "ran" it from 1997 to 2000. He ran it into the ground as with all his businesses, but until then, he used it to con people as a smokescreen of "legitimacy" as he did with our children and our marriage, which obviously was a joke and a sham to him. He cheated on me non stop, ending in an affair with Deeanna (Smith) Schafer for the last 5 years of our marriage. Unfortunately, I did not know this until 2 years after I found out he gave me deadly venereal diseases 6 weeks after I gave birth to his last child. I didn't know I was infected, for I was monogamous, and found out only after the disease spread to my bones and my brain after annhilating my reproductive organs and immune system. As for the Mercedes (plural) and the house, they were put in my name,(I was told it was to "protect" me and the kids) so now I am held responsible for their repossession and foreclosure. He made millions of dollars during our marriage, but pissed it all away on whores, drugs, gambling, hotels, and supporting junkies, flunkies, and losers, Stephen Saunders, Mia Gibbs, Deeanna Smith, and "Bo" Jones as well as "Kristen" and James Austin and Darren Ray, ect....The only legitimate employees ran as soon as they figured out what was going on, and ran for their lives because he was targeting them to take the fall also (Alene Dean). He was trying to frame me for stealing the money when his other fraudulent schemes to frame others failed (David Alayev). 1 out of every 2 checks written bounced, or more. He was eventually busted for posession of 9 grams of Meth at the office, DUI, using the fake id, illegal entry into the United States, and 12 Felony counts of Fraud, and 12 counts of Grand Theft over 150,000.00. He is currently in Wasco State Prison, and will serve 4 years. I moved my business in 2000 to a small location that I was alone responsible for. Amazingly, even working part time, I was able to take the business from losing 10,000.00/month in the red to break even. I moved the business to my home, and worked out of my garage, and made enough money to finally flee and leave his sorry, lying, cheating, good for nothing a*s. He then proceeded to make my life a living miserable hell by stalking me and anyone associated with me, and put me in a financial position that I would be absolutely dependent on him, so I would go back and he could assume the charade again. The incredible joke was that while he was working on me to crack from the pressure, he was continuing his "back jump" (that's what he called it) on Deeanna to get her name all over the company and get her to file false police reports against me by lying to her about his "abuse", and prey on her stupidity to make her "defend her man" and escalate the violence between us. He lied to us both saying that he "loved me" and that he had "NEVER" cheated on me with her, and that she was some crazed crack addict who wouldn't let go of her fantasy of taking me away from him, and that I was the "most beautiful woman he ever saw" and we were "soul mates" ect. He was also telling her the same thing. He was also using his legal circumstances to prey upon victims portraying himself as the "victim" of the law, "victim" of the immigration authorities, "victim" of circumstance", ...always the victim. He was by far the worst husband, father, and "businessman" I've ever heard of. As far as my non participation in the company, that was Ivan's doing. He has a habit of putting companies in other people's names, and then keeping them from knowing the truth by smokescreen, evasion, deceipt, and promises of "tomorrow". Everytime I actually tried to help, tried to get to the truth, tried to reason with him, tried to stop him, tried to get away, tried to get my name off everything, he threatened me and the kids. Every paper I signed was under severe duress; he might as well have had a gun to my head. I am appalled that I would be associated with his acts of terrorism, extortion, embezzellment, obstruction of justice, fraud, treachery, and debauchery by my "marriage" to a man who obviously (now) was not who he said he was. I am sorry for any loss suffered by anyone, and I apologize for any way, shape, and form I might have contributed by secondary degree. I was only a housewife taking care of 5 beautiful kids, and struggling against forces I could not have known were possible. If you are an "investor", you can contact Mr. Kelly Crawford, the receiver for the company. There are no assets left. The flunkies Steve and Deeanna stole what was left. She is now selling it on Craigslist. As for Steve, he is running computer scams from Newport Beach, probably with the stolen server from the company, and driving the Dodge Dakota truck paid for with company funds. Mr. Roger Maechtlen, the "Chairman of the Board", is in Arkansas, denying any wrongdoing, even though he is as responsible as Ivan for not listening to me when I called him and told him to warn the other investors and kept the information from the other "Board members" and freeze company assets and appoint a forensic accountant and a receiver while there might have been hope to salvage the wreckage, and stop any other innocent people from continuing to get stolen from. Ivan is still calling me and writing me from jail, directly in contempt of the restraining order against him and the "no contact" order from family court. This man thinks he is above the law, and has no conscience, and unfortunately, will continue a new "venture" once he is released from prison and sent back to Brazil. I warn everyone, in the strongest possible words, to never listen to him, never sign your name to anything he has to do with, and never give him money for any reason (even if he says it's for his kids, because it isn't), and never have sex with him, or do drugs with him. Run for your life if you ever meet him or hear his name.
