The Con Signs Legal Documents With Intent To Deceive

(Please read this story from the first post to the most current to truly get entertained by the unfolding con of Marvin Nathan.  It is just too amazing to miss!)

On November 11, 2013, Marvin convinced Gene and myself that his $126,000 would be posted in his bank from the cashed-in life insurance policy by the next day.  He originally was just going to name us as beneficiaries of this policy.  But I suggested that he cash it in, keep some for a cushion for himself and invest the rest in our musical since he was also one of the stars.  Marvin agreed.

So, from his $126,000, he told us he'd give us $1500 toward the two months of our feeding, housing and helping him, plus, he'd invest $75,000 in the play.  We had no reason to think he was conning us.

Gene spent the money to form an LLC for the play and Marvin signed this document as one of the members on November 11, 2013.

We had written up a budget for the cost of Gene's studio time to arrange and produce the songs for the play.  This money was coming out of the $126,000 and we had scheduled six hours per day, five days per week in the studio to complete the songs by mid-January.  This later became a problem since Gene did not schedule anything else during those hours for the months of November and December.

I was not going to take a draw from this money until we went into a full-blown workshop for two weeks.  I wanted to use it sparingly so that we could possibly mount a version of the show to showcase to interested producers and booking agents.

But the money was again delayed for various reasons that Marvin obviously had used in the past when running this same con on others.  Finally, on November 17, 2013, Marvin said he was totally certain the life-insurance money would post the very next morning.  So, we drew up the investment papers which he signed in our presence on November 17.

How a person could fraudulently sign legal papers while knowing there was no money coming in, is totally astonishing to me!  All he had to say regarding the life insurance policy was that he could not cash it in due to it not maturing yet, or some such thing.  He did not have to take this story and draw it out so dramatically.

But wait, it gets much, much worse.  Remember that Marvin had also told us his lawyer "Howard" had settled the fiasco with his Credit Union in Florida wherein Marvin was now going to get $50,000 as a result of that Credit Union's three employees stealing money from several accounts?  Seriously...I heard him "talking to Howard" on the phone!  LOL!  He asked Howard how much the settlement was actually for and what percentage was he taking.  I mean, this guy is a highly skilled actor who can talk on the phone to no one better than the famous actors I've seen do this on TV or film!

Here's a real nice twist to Marvin's storytelling.  He informs me that Howard is coming to Vegas over the weekend and is bringing the check with him!  Evidently, "Howard" wanted to come to Vegas with his new girlfriend.  On top of all of this, Marvin says he will give us $5,000 from this Credit Union money as an extra thank-you for all that we have done.

But wait, it gets much worse...if you can even believe that!  Holy cow!  Gene and I never believed that this old queen could make up crap like this!  Who would do that?  Certainly, no one in their right mind would make up a string of stories like this.

We soon found out that Marvin Nathan was not in his right mind.  He was a con with much more devastation to bring before we finally realize what he is doing.
