RV Industry Leader Gigi Stetler is Calling on all Victims of Marcus Lemonis – Star of CNBC’s The Profit and CEO of Camping World – To Come Forward -…

Dover, Delaware, Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dover, Delaware -- Respected RV industry leader and President of theRV Advisor Consumer Association(RVACA) Gigi Stetler is issuing a nationwide alert to all businesses and individuals who are approached by Marcus Lemonis the star ofCNBCs The Profitand the CEO ofCamping World.

Unfortunately, Lemonis is the false profit. Every week I get contacted by individuals who have fallen victim to Lemonis predatorial and unscrupulous business tactics. Some have been outlined in an incredibleInc. exposby Will Yakowicz, but since CNBC has yet to remove him from The Profit, its time to protect other businesses and individuals before they are preyed upon by Lemonis and also destroyed, said Stetler.

Stetler is calling on all victims of Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, to come forward in efforts to attain justice.

Twonew lawsuitshave recently been filed against Lemonis by his former business partners, Nicolas Goureau and Stephanie Menkin, who were introduced to Lemonis when they appeared on The Profit.

Goureau and Menkin (who are siblings) allege that Lemonis fraudulently induced them to invest in their retail business, Courage B, in exchange for a capital investment and his expertise in growing their company. However, instead of trying to help, Lemonis allegedly focused on making the company indebted to him (in upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars) so that he could control the company and its assets with the purpose of financially ruining it.

The complaints seek millions of dollars in damages from Lemonis and his entities. A copy of the complaints can be found here:Complaint 1;Complaint 2.

Over the years, Stetler has also witnessed the unscrupulous and deceptive business practices of Camping World, the RV powerhouse owned by Marcus Lemonis. Stetler says, former Camping World customers continually contact her after buying defective, lemon RVs from the industry giant. She says, these Camping World customers often spend months trying to get these defective RVs serviced, often with no success. Stetler says, she even has proof that some RVs are sold as new at Camping World but are actually pre-owned with multiple problems.

Its the same pattern over and over again. I even know somone who has contemplated suicide because of the financial damage Lemonis and Camping World has done to their life. Lemonis needs to be stopped and held accountable for his egregious actions, said Stetler.

Anyone who has been victimized by Marcus Lemonis is encouraged to immediately contact Stetlers legal team atlockelaw@thervadvisor.com. In addition, any whistleblowers, other potential victims or anyone able to offer information about Lemonis are encouraged to come forward.

RVACA President Gigi Stetler is available for media interviews. To coordinate, contact Kelcey Kintner at 646-391-8001 orkelcey@redbanyan.com

Control Of The Senate May Be Decided In The Mountain West – Wyoming Public Media

Democrats are pushing to turn the Senate blue this November, needing just four more seats to gain control of the chamber. Two key races are in the Mountain West.

Click 'play' to hear the audio version of this story.

"The Democrats have a decent chance to pick up control of the Senate and that could very well could hinge on what happens in Colorado and Montana," said Robert Saldine, a political science professor at the University of Montana.

In Colorado, former Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner. In Montana, current Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock seeks to oust Republican Sen. Steve Daines. Gardner and Daines are staunch supporters of President Trump. Both races are currently considered toss-ups by the Cook Political Report.

Saldine sees Hickenlooper and Bullock, both moderates, as separating themselves from the more progressive Democratic leadership in Washington, D.C.

"It's a play that I think has a better chance of working in the Mountain West than it does elsewhere, just because of the number of Democrats and the number of Republicans in each state," he said.

Both candidates shattered state fundraising records in the second quarter, with Hickenlooper raising $5.2 million and Bullock reporting a $7.7 million haul.

Recent polls suggest Hickenlooper has a slight edge over Gardner, but he has been losing ground. Meanwhile Montana polls dont give either Senate candidate there a lead beyond their margins of error.

This story was produced by the Mountain West News Bureau, a collaboration between Wyoming Public Media, Boise State Public Radio in Idaho, KUNR in Nevada, the O'Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West in Montana, KUNC in Colorado, KUNM in New Mexico, with support from affiliate stations across the region. Funding for the Mountain West News Bureau is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

17-year-old ‘mastermind,’ 2 other suspects behind Twitter hack, Bitcoin scam – Wink News

TAMPA

Three suspects were arrested and have been charged Friday for the Bit-Con hack of high-profile Twitter accounts that occurred July 15, according to U.S. Attorneys Office Northern District of California.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirms 17-year-old Graham Ivan Clark was arrested in Tampa Friday for the high-profile hack.

According to the FDLE Facebook post, Clark is the mastermind behind the hack and is accused of taking control of several accounts belonging to notable people, including former President Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Bill Gates. Investigators says he and two other suspects and used the accounts to spread a Bitcoin scam.

He gained access to Twitter accounts and to the internal controls of Twitter through compromising a Twitter employee, said Andrew Warren, the state attorney in Hillsborough County.

None of Clarks charges are from the federal level but at the state level because the state attorney said there is more flexibility in Florida law to charge minors as adults in financial fraud cases.

Twitter says the hackers used the phone to fool employees at the social media company through a spear phishing attack.

In your standard phishing attack, you will see the criminals cast a wide net, said Rich Kolko, WINK News Safety and Security Specialist. But, in a spear phishing attack, they are after specific high-ranking individuals.

The scammers then hacked the accounts of high-profile individuals that also included presidential candidate Joe Biden and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos the list goes on.

The hackers are accuse of posting tweets telling people if they donated $1,000 in in Bitcoin, they would be given $2,000 in return.

Theyre going to make their play to get you to give up your money, in this case to buy Bitcoin, Kolko explained. Theyre going to say things like, Youve only got a few minutes to decide. Its going to be a high-pressure sales tactic.

Complaint claims show the scam Bitcoin account received more than 400 transfers that, in less than a day, accrued about $100,000.

You dont expect a kid, just a kid, my age to do that, Marcos Grimado said.

People we talked with say they see how younger generations are connected to tech at very early ages and wonder if thats why a crime of this magnitude involved two teenagers.

My little sister, she has her own phone at probably 7-years-old, Grimado said. All of it revolves around technology.

Clark faces dozens of felony charges related to the hack.

U.S. Attorneys Office Northern District of California confirmed the names of the two other suspects who were arrested and charged for the Bit-Con hack.

According to the court, suspect Mason Sheppard, aka Chaewon, 19, of Bognor Regis, in the United Kingdom, was charged in a criminal complaint in the Northern District of California with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and the intentional access of a protected computer.

Suspect Nima Fazeli, aka Rolex, 22, of Orlando, Florida, was also charged in a criminal complaint in the Northern District of California with aiding and abetting the intentional access of a protected computer.

The hackers allegedly compromised over 100 social media accounts and scammed both the account users and others who sent money based on their fraudulent solicitations, said Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Departments Criminal Division. The rapid investigation of this conduct is a testament to the expertise of our investigators, our commitment to responding quickly to cyber attacks, and the close relationships we have built with law enforcement partners throughout the world.

According to the court, as shared in submitted complaints, the Twitter attack consisted of a combination of technical breaches and social engineering. The result of the Twitter hack was the compromise of approximately 130 Twitter accounts pertaining to politicians, celebrities and musicians.

The hackers are accused of creating a scam Bitcoin account, to have hacked into Twitter VIP accounts, to have sent solicitations from the Twitter VIP accounts with a false promise to double any Bitcoin deposits made to the scam account, and then to have stolen the Bitcoin that victims deposited into the scam account.

FDLE says the investigation involved partnership between several local, state and federal agencies, including the FBI, IRS, U.S. Secret Service the United States Attorneys Offices for the Middle District of Florida and for Northern California, and the State Attorneys Office 13th Judicial Circuit, which will prosecute the case.
