Rolled: A Justin Smith Saga, how Micon got rolled for $12k

** update: on 11/24/08 we learn that Justin Smith has been in jail in the state of Washington and today was extradited to Oregon.

** update: I have gotten back a total of $2.5k as of 11/24/08

*** update: I got $1k back today, 9/25/07, from Jon / Bizmanager via Moneygram. $11k more to go... Also found a possible middle name: Justin Wade Smith.

In brief:

0) I got rolled for $12k by a scammer named Justin Smith, possibly Justin Wade Smith
0.1) 9/25/07: Get sent $1k from Jon, Justin's "Business manager" posting on NWP as bizmanager.

1) After I got rolled, I decided to videotape the guy at work. Druff came over, and Justin showed up to ask him for 10k. http://www.pokerdeposits.com/scammer/scammerclip.html is the video of this guy asking for money from Druff, just a little 4 minute clip, I have a 2.5 hr video.

2) Picture of him below

* Justin's SSN: 542-02-5773

3) Crazy voice mails / phone calls from Justin Smith:

WE ARE LOOKING FOR THIS DEGENERATE. IF YOU SPOT HIM IT COULD BE WORTH $2K TO YOU:





*** note: $2k to the person that does something that leads to me getting my $ back (listed on pg 5)

Ok so it turns out I am making some poor decisions recently. Recently I was scammed here in Vegas for $12k. Yes me. Yes me Bryan Micon. The guy that says to never loan money, never fuck around with anything that smells like scam. This guy was good... real good. I even had Detective Druff on the case early on. I got rolled real bad, and here's what happened. (By the way I am posting this in hopes the internet will go apeshit on his ass and dig up all the info I need to sue the piss out of him, even if it's noncollectable I want to put a hurtin' on this motherfucker for rolling me, as you can imagine. Also, on a really sour note, I have been told by Metro that NOTHING HE HAS DONE IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE... so obviously I go to NWP for justice)

Here is the timeline I had prepared for the cops, who don't want to see it:

(approx) 8/21/07 – 8/24/07: Hang out with Justin @ Red Rock, he is with Erik Michael Estrada of boy band O-town fame (NOTE: HE IS AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER IN THIS, DON'T WANT TO FUCK W/HIM ON THIS ONE - WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME), claims Erik lives with Justin in his Beverly Hills $15M mansion. Erik Michael Estrada was for sure there. I looked him up on the internet because I don't know o-town very well. Thi

8/25/07: Hang out with Justin at the Red Rock casino, he appears to be a baller, and gets a room comped late Sat. night (technically Sun. morning) when the place is booked and they apologize they can’t find him a suite. and doesn’t even show his ID to get the VIP black key. His host was “Mona Lisa” and his address was from Oregon according to the Red Rock’s computer. He showed me his Black Sewell Escalade on 22” rims and represented it to me as one of his “dozens” of high class automobiles.

8/27/07: Represents Partricia Arton’s home (4842 Stavanger Ln, LV / NV 89147) as his own, represents Envy Rent a car (Patricia's business: www.envyrentacar.com) vehicles as his own, and asks me for a $5k loan that he will pay me back $20k in 24 hours. Sounds too good to be true? obv. I saw this random Baller at Redrock drop like $10k (a few k to me in 5-10NL which he sucks at) and have the O-town guy with him and claims to be a record producer and "investor" of many different businesses. Fine, whatever, here's $5k I think this guy is on the level - I mean, I saw him drop $10k, he had the o-town guy with him, every pit boss knew him, he drove an escalade on 22s, had an iced out chain on, got a hotel comped on SATURDAY NIGHT with no problem, checked in with no ID, showed me a $1M house, and just appeared to be what he said he was - if he was a scammer why take this kind of time to scam me? Anyway, so i fucked up and gave him $5k. We then go to Scores where Rene (appears to be old GF) greets us and GM buys us drinks - VIP treatment everywhere he goes, and he just spends money like it's burning a hole in his pocket. We actually threw $300 of my money "make it rain" style (I made them play the song while we did it) on to the main Scores strip-floor from the upper baller rain-balcony. Everyone knew the dude, everyone treated him as if he was a huge baller and he'd proved that by showering them with $. The fucking GM of scores shakes his hand, talks to him like they are old friends for a second, then buys us drinks and instructs the bar not to let us pay. I never thought I had gotten my money in so good and fully expected $20k cash the next day. He ends up crashing at my house after a few drinks and confides that he is the main heir of the Chase bank fortune and his grandpa or great grandpa Michael J. Chase started some shit and left him $1.6 Billion, of which after taxes he had $850M.

8/28/07: So on this day Justin calls me and says he needs more $ and the wire to his bank was on the way or some such shit. Without thinking again I loan an additional $7k, he promises $100k in 24 hrs (no clue what was wrong in my head) I don't know what I was thinking and have no excuse for my actions on this day. I actually even borrowed some $ from a friend to loan Justin. Again, what could I have been thinking? I have mulled over this for days and weeks, and I can't find what went wrong in my head for those 2 days when I loaned this random $12k of money that I really, really, need.

8/29/07: Now is when I know I'm fucked - Justin Smith calls me and says needs $10k more, and will repay $1 Million in a few days. Oh fuck, what do I do??? I call Druff of course. He wisely tells me to set up the webcam, tell him to come over and video everything while he is there begging for more $ (I tell him Druff is going to possibly loan him $10k). I have the video made of this incident (2.5 hrs at my house) and here is a clip: http://www.pokerdeposits.com/scammer/scammerclip.html This is just a small 4 minute clip of the 2.5 hour begfest from Justin. Justin is in the foreground, Druff in the background, and this is low quality video for internet. the version I have is a little clearer... I also gotta search the whole 2.5 hrs for the best shot of Justin's face.

8/30/07: Stall, needs more $, this time I'm pretty sure it's a rolling.

8/31/07 – 9/22/07 (at time of post): Stall, various excuses, $100 Million bank wires to Bank of the West that never get there, selling a car to Stavoros, inviting me to the VMA’s, Bringing over a check from Envy Rent-a-car, etc. claiming to know Paris Hilton and invite me to her BBQ, saying Jason Davis will loan him the money and a host of other laughable stalls including how yesterday he said he was going to send me his diamond bezel presidential rolex... I'm sure that shit is in the mail.

9/25/07: Receive $1k Moneygram from Jon, aka Justin's "Business manager" aka bizmanager on NWP

**** Also note that Erik Micheal Estrada is not involved in this other than he was with this psycho on the night I met him.

Questions / comments / further info appreciated. There are for sure facts I left out... I will add them as we go.

oh, and HOF

If its too good to be true, its too good to be true.

Classic material on the webclip, however! "I have a 600K house, I have a 98K Mercedes"

With that HOF material, of course anyone on here would have been

Six months ago, this guy would have been destroyed.

Now I doubt anyone gets more than a laugh out of this story.

obv fuck you

karmas a bitch isn't it micon

sounds madeup to get attention back on this site

6 months ago? I say never.....

Wowwww, who is this horrible douche?... this is so blatant... what the fuck Micon?? How?!?! This was a really awful life move dude are you retarded???

By the way micon, when someone steals 10,000 from me and you really need it and, don't just webcam him admitting this shit. You get him in the hotel and beat his ass and make sure that he gets that fucking money.

thought about that, but can't find him now... and please keep the replies off of the "how the hell could you do that?" tip... I did it, and I can't figure out why.

You said you were certain he was rolling you. That's why you brought him to your Druff for webcam or whatever. If that's the case, you should have made sure to replace Detective Druff with someone intimidating who can threaten him with violence. Seriously.

Time for this guy and suggest Casino punishment where his hands get hammered. Also, shouldn't you be at your shul on this the holiest day of the Jewish year. :karma

Why dont you ask all the people he knew and was talking to?

I call



this story can't be real

That sucks. Tough break nigga.

He could have at least made this semi-believable.

Loaning $$ to a billionaire who doesn't ever pay for anything. Yup.

This is fucked, and this guy needs to be hunted down. Obv.

But the thing I dont get... if someone is rich, they dont need to ask you for money. So wouldn't the red flag go up immediately as soon as they asked? To me the glitz and glamour bit makes his asking more suspect, not less.

And if they could convince you they needed money for some bizarre reason, why wouldn't they go to their rich friends/ family for it? Why would they ask someone like you? No offense. This is the same logic I use for myself.

This is why I never lend - only give. If the person is poor and a fuck up, you'll never see your money again anyway. So if you're compassionate, just give it to them and be done with it. If they are rich, they don't need it, or should have many more avenues to get it other than asking someone who can't really afford to give it. So if they are asking, they are obviously lying. Case closed.

I found a good pic of him
