U.S. v. Mr D (DMC No. 3379)

NOT CHARGED | WIRE FRAUD / SECURITIES FRAUD – Mr. D was the owner of an International Bank based out of Scottsdale, Arizona. He was accused of defrauding investors of over $1,000,000.00 due to the fact that the bank invested income in various construction projects in Florida. Eventually, these projects went “belly up”, and there was no money to pay back the investors. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office were investigating Mr. D for Sale of Unlicensed Securities, Theft and various RICO violations. Mr. Cantor became involved with the FBI agents and the U.S. Attorney and demonstrated to them that this was not a criminal case, it was actually a civil case that needed to be resolved between the investors and Mr. D. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Mr. D.

State v. Mr. T (DMC No. 6477)

NOT CHARGED | CHILD PORNOGRAPHY (Gilbert Police Department Investigated) Mr. T. was at a local Walgreens pharmacy picking up film from his 5-year-old daughter’s birthday party when police showed up and took him in for questioning. It had turned out that another child had obtained one of the many disposable cameras available to the children at the party and had taken photos of Mr. T’s daughter’s private parts. By reconstructing the height of the photographer and the angle of the camera (which showed the photographer was 3-feet tall), we were able to prove that another child had taken the photos and not Mr T. He went from facing a mandatory minimum 30 years in prison to not being charged at all.

State vs. Ms. B (DMC No. 10014)

NOT CHARGED | IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD FORGERY – (DMC No. 10014) (Tempe Police Department): Ms. B. was accused of forging a letter from her son’s previous employer and sending it to his current employer. The letter claimed that Ms. B.’s son was under investigation for possible theft. Ms. B. was very upset at her son for previous acts that he had committed. We were able to work with all parties involved and the police department and prevent any charges from being filed. If charges were filed, Ms. B. would have been charged with identity theft and forgery (for falsifying the signature on the letter of the store manager) and she could have faced several years in prison.

State vs. Mr. L (DMC No. 9999)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF A MINOR (Child Pornography) State vs. Mr. L. (DMC No. 9999) (Chandler Police Department): Police showed up at Mr. L.’s house and asked to search his computer due to allegations of alleged Child Pornography. When he refused, they told him that they would get a search warrant and come back and lock down his house. He then agreed and his computer was taken and searched. Police allegedly had found numerous images of simulated and possibly real child pornography on his computer. Due to the issues of a potentially illegal search under the case of Bumper vs. North Carolina, we were able to convince the detectives to not file charges. Mr. L. was facing a potential minimum of over 100 years in prison if he were convicted.

U.S. v. Mr. N (DMC No.)

NOT CHARGED | UNLICENSED SECURITIES SALES – In 2006, Mr. N, an investment broker, was accused of selling unlicensed securities. By working with the Plaintiff’s attorney, we were able to liquidate all securities involved and provide the Plaintiff all of his invested money back (plus interest). This resolved the case through the civil process rather than the criminal courts. The amounts involved were close to 1 million dollars.

State vs. Mr. T (DMC No. 9769)

NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION/ SEX ABUSE – (DMC No. 9769) (Gilbert Police Department): Mr. T. was accused by his half sister of molesting her when she was a child. She also claimed that recently (when she was 16 years of age) Mr. T. had snuck into her room while she was asleep. She claimed that he put a blanket over her head and fondled her and took pictures while she pretended to be asleep. Due to questions regarding Mr. T.’s half sisters motivation for making the report, and the fact that her other sister was in the room at the time and reported neither seeing nor hearing anything, we were able to convince detectives and prosecutor’s not to file charges.

State v. Mr. R (DMC No. 7116)

NOT CHARGED/DISMISSED | SEXUAL ASSAULT/KIDNAPPING – In 2007, Mr. R was accused of sexually assaulting a girl in a bar parking lot. We were able to show that, through witnesses, the girl willingly went with Mr. R into a parking lot vehicle and, was not kidnapped. In addition, the bar in question had a parking lot surveillance tape and the police were ordered by the Court to seize that tape. Because the police did not act for several months, the entire video system was replaced and the tape was lost forever. Motions were filed regarding the destruction of potentially exculpatory evidence, and the State dropped all charges.

State vs. Mr. M (DMC No. 8681)

NOT CHARGED | Possession of Dangerous Drugs for Sale(DMC No. 8681) (Gilbert Police Department): Gilbert police executed a search at Mr. M.’s house after they alleged he had received and sold various quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. We were able to negotiate a “free talk” and cooperation contract with the Gilbert Police Department. All potential charges of felony possession of dangerous drugs and Mr. M’s record of arrest were erased. Although he had prior felonies and was facing a lengthy prison time, he ended up with nothing on his record.

State vs. Mr. B (DMC No. 8601)

NOT CHARGED | FRAUD SCHEMES, FALSE REPORTING AND DEFRAUDING A SECURED CREDITOR (DMC No. 8601) State vs. Mr. B. (Glendale Police Department): Mr. B.’s fiancé had purchased a vehicle from a local car dealership. Two months later, Mr. B. and his fiancé filed a police report that the vehicle had been stolen. Police later found the vehicle at a co-workers house of Mr. B., and it had various performance upgrades made to the vehicle. The co-worker said that he had bought the car from Mr. B. We were able to poke holes in the co-workers claim in that he had no receipt for cash that he had supposedly given Mr. B. for the vehicle. We informed detectives that he most likely had duplicated Mr. B.’s keys and stole the vehicle in the middle of the night from Mr. B.’s fiancé’s house as she had claimed. No charges were brought against Mr. B., even though he was currently on probation for a prior possession of stolen property charge. In addition, he had a prior fraud schemes conviction several years earlier. He was originally facing well over 2 decades in prison, yet was not charged with any crime.

State v. Mr. M (DMC No. 6881)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL ASSAULT – In 2006, Mr. M, a juvenile correctional officer, was accused of molesting one of the inmates. We had Mr. M pass a polygraph, and the inmate refused to do the same when requested to do so by Detectives. It was fairly easy to show that this was a retaliatory claim by an inmate against one of his jailers. He was not charged by the Prosecutor or by a Grand Jury.
