Of course the checks were cashed right away and went through my account on the 8th of may. My question is why did Steve Johnson have me send these checks to his home address? He gave me this address on the 19th of April. The checks were made out to Luis Rivas but if he was nowhere to be found and the offices were shut down then who cashed my checks and where is that Money???Ok I know everyone is asking that same question and I empathize with all and pray a miricle causes this theif to relinquish every penny he has.

It is my beliefe that Steve Johnson knew what was happening and was very
much a part of the fraud based on what happened to me and my $40K.

Does anyone know more about this Steve Johnson?

My family has been trying to get a response from Steve for MONTHS now and he has not responded to any of us. I doubt you will ever hear from him but I would be happy to tell you everything we know about him and what I've found out offline from other posters on here that worked with him.

By the way, Lou was supposed to be Steve's best man in his wedding last month. "Supposedly" they had a falling out (i.e. Lou went on the run) so another guy from Forex filled the spot. I'm not positive but I think the new best man is the guy Todd your referring to.

do you know any way to track who owns that account number. \\

There seem to have surfaced some very interesting details about the investor's checks. I am currently having my deposits investigated legally because the checking accounts used are "not valid" according to First TN Bank. Now I see that some were not scanned properly for some reason.
Could there be someone involved in the banking end of this whole mess?

The best man at the wedding was John

I also know several people with fishy things going on when evaluating how their checks were handled at the bank. It does make you wonder if there was someone in on the scam at the bank. If you haven't already, I suggest you all check into where you money went when it was deposited.

We were asked to mail our checks to Steve Johnson's house which we thought was very odd. I don't know if he was the one who made the deposit because he won't respond to any questions.

I suggest everyone to check all your cancelled checks and see where they were deposited and by who, and to whose account. The banks I worked with were very unwilling to give me much information, so I had to go the legal way.

ourfawn,
Then it seems you may know Steve Johnson. Is he still at that address or has he sold the house and moved and if so do you know him well enough to know where.

Perhaps all these folks who know him, related to him by marriage etc...should help us find him and pay him a visit if he no longer knows how to operate a phone.

Steve Johnson is the person to look to if you ask me...he's got to know where the money is and I for one of many I trust ..would really like to locate the money.

So if we all want the same thing here then why are we not seeing names, addresses, contact and home information on these guy's who made it possible for Rivas to steal...there is no way one man could have worked alone.

Where are the details...the FBI only cares about convicting and then any penalty will just go to pay their salaries...not help us get our money. We all need details and the employees are the ones who have them. They know bank accounts, addresses, contacts, habits etc...forget the women sleeping with this guy...what do they know...what have these folks been promised to keep this guy's secrets.

Please give it up.

I agree to a certain extent, but I do not think it is right to post ANYONES address or phone number on the internet. Yes, we need information but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. It is not right. So, my suggestion would be to send any of this info privately. Especially if you have no concrete information about someone being involved. I don't even think it was right to post Pams address and phone number even though she was involved with Lou we all know that is no longer the case and she is not the one we need to go after. Come on people, this is the internet and it is viewable by anyone. I don't think it is safe or fair to some.
