Front Sight Firearms Training Institue Front Sight's Ignatius Piazza Fraud Scheme Finally exposed itself Pahrump NV
Read below, the Pyramid scheme built at Front Sight by Dr. Ignatius Piazza has finally imploded. The narcissist and arrogance of this man amazes me. So lets be clear, you spend money to go to a firearm training facility and from that date it turns to an outragious marketing avalanche of e-mail and phone calls that are out of control. It all revolves around money money money.
You drink the Kool Aid and you are the trainin institue friend you dont and you are not a patriot. Now either side you are on of the TRUE Follower train you have everythin yanked out from under you. So you paid for a lifetime membership and paid for a few promotions they have daily and because they are business people and this is a layered ponzi scheme and they are broke you get nothing if you dont pay. That was not the agreement when we signed up and now they believe it is ok to change the rules and demand or force you to pay them to be a true follower or what you PAID for becomes worthless.
If i was them what ever legal they consulted before writing this should be fired. This will be a class action law suite they will not be able to withstand and if you look the theads out this morning regarding what they have done, is not a good look for what is coming next.
Dr. Ignatius Piazza Front Sight is RESTRUCTURING
Our Policies, Procedures, and Fees. Here's WHY and HOW it Affects YOU... NOTE: Time Sensitive Deadlines for Your Response and Participation to Maintain Your Membership. READ AND RESPOND TODAY!
Saturday, January 22, 2022
Dear Hunter,
Read this letter SLOWLY AND COMPLETELY. Then read it again. DO NOT skim through it. This is the MOST IMPORTANT letter I have written to members in the history of Front Sight. It is also, ultimately, the most positive letter I have ever written as it sets in motion the changes, through Front Sight restructuring our policies, procedures, and fees, that will ensure Front Sight's successful operation and expansion for generations to come, long after you and I are gone.
You may be a new member or you may have been with us for years, but I want to remind you that way back in August of 2018, I was forced to file a lawsuit to protect you and Front Sight when we were conned out of more than $500,000 by an attorney who initially posed as a legitimate businessman in 2012, with experience in raising construction funds for established and rapidly-growing projects in rural areas.
He represented that he was one of us, a pro-gun patriot who wanted to assist Front Sight in positively changing the image of gun ownership in our lifetimes by helping us complete the resort with low-interest money he would source from his vast pool of overseas investors. He promised he would raise all the funds needed to complete the resort and do it quickly if we covered all the administrative costs and some initial marketing costs. It turns out, he was not one of us. He was a lying, con man.
It was not the fraudulent misrepresentation he made regarding his experience and network of investors, or his utter failure to deliver on his multiple promises of full funding for our project, or that he did not raise as promised, $150 million, or $75 million, or $50 million, or $25 million or even $10 million in funds toward the completion of the Front Sight Resort that caused me to sue him. No, his biggest transgression against us and really his biggest sin against YOU is the fact that after we provided everything we agreed to provide and kept the resort project moving forward in spite of his fraudulent misrepresentation and failures, and having never failed to pay any of our financial obligations under his funding agreement, he deceitfully attempted to STEAL Front Sight away from us by fraudulently and fictitiously claiming we were in default of some weasel-worded and highly questionable language in our agreements with him. He claimed he had the right to sell Front Sight's land and water rights, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NEVER FAILED TO PAY ANY OF OUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS UNDER HIS FUNDING AGREEMENT, and had continued to move the project toward completion, despite his failing to deliver the promised funding!
I have been fighting this lawsuit for you for NEARLY FOUR YEARS. It feels like it's been 218766 years! The law is on our side in this case. We were never in default. We were fraudulently induced into the deal. We were lied to repeatedly. Our money was diverted and stolen. Depositions uncovered there was never any intent by the man who conned us into this deal to ever fully fund the project. This was a conspiracy from the start to steal Front Sight. When asked in testimony, what he would do if he was successful in foreclosing on Front Sight, he lied by responding he would get it funded and completed. When asked if that was the case, WHY didn't he get it funded and completed as he promised? To that question he had no answer, because evidence shows he never had the intention or the ability to fully fund it or complete the project, just foreclose on it.
We have proven all of this. We have proven he lied to us over 30 times to get us into the deal. We have proven he lied to us to get us to sign the construction loan agreement. We have proven he inappropriately diverted for his own use, over $100,000 of the initial $300,000 we paid him to start the funding process. We have proven he did not use the marketing money we gave him to market funding the project. We have proven he lied to the judge and the Court. We have proven he has flagrantly obstructed the discovery process. We have proven that he breached his contract with us, literally the day we signed it.
We have also proven that we have never lied, we have never misappropriated any of the funds we received, and in fact have place millions more into the project than he loaned. We have repeatedly placed case-winning motions in front of the judge, most recently a motion for case-ending sanctions against our enemies for all the court orders and rules of discovery they have egregiously ignored or violated.
Unfortunately, our motions for summary judgement and motions for partial summary judgement, have never produced the desired result of a case-winning decision in our favor with the judge in this case.
From the time I filed the lawsuit to protect Front Sight and your membership from being stolen in a fraudulent foreclosure attempt by unscrupulous, lying con men, I have encouraged EVERY member to step up and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with me by financially participating in special offers that provided a HUGE "Exchange in Abundance" for your participation. I repeatedly explained that if all members were to participate, even at the minimal level, we could defeat all of our enemies and complete the project.
I sent a post card to every member household, representing over 250,000 members, informing them of the lawsuit I filed and providing a website link for them to get all the details, and encouraged EVERY member to participate. I emailed our members, repeatedly, informing them of the lawsuit I filed and providing a website link for them to get all the details, and encouraged EVERY member to participate. I called the members, repeatedly, informing them of the lawsuit I filed and providing a website link for them to get all the details, and encouraged them to participate.
In August of 2021, I created the web page www.FrontSight.com/FinishTheFight and sent hundreds of emails to the members and made phone calls to the entire membership dozens of times, telling them in no uncertain terms that EVERY MEMBER needed to step up an participate. I specifically stated on the FINISH THE FIGHT website the following:
With over 100,000 member households representing over 250,000 members, TOGETHER, we control our own destiny no matter what challenges, obstacles, or fights may ever be thrown at us, BUT ONLY WHEN WE ALL STAND TOGETHER AS ONE. And by TOGETHER, I mean ALL OF US. EACH and EVERY ONE OF US.
I'm not asking you to do anything heroic. I have always done that for you. I have always placed my life, my fortune and my sacred honor on the line for you and Front Sight. You know this to be true, and I will continue to do so.
I AM ASKING YOU TO STAND WITH ME AND YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS WHO ARE ALREADY SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER WITH ME IN THIS FIGHT, SO WE ARE 100,000 HOUSEHOLDS STRONG AND IMMEDIATELY DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES WHO ARE TRYING TO CLOSE FRONT SIGHT, STEAL FRONT SIGHT, AND STEAL YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
What if you do nothing? Then there is a real chance due to the politics involved that we will lose and I will be forced to make decisions that will adversely affect your membership to protect the future of Front Sight. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN because we are 100,000 households strong, and TOGETHER can immediately control our destiny AND WIN, but ONLY if we ALL IMMEDIATELY STEP UP. Stepping up by your fellow members is in full swing. It is now up to you to join with us in the fight. No excuses.
Then, at Thanksgiving, I provided the GREATEST Year-End Holiday Gift I had ever provided in Front Sight's 25-Year History by consolidating the numerous Front Sight memberships we have offered over the years into four membership levels, and UPGRADING EVERY MEMBER into a much higher-level membership than they previously had paid for, and I even added extremely-valuable and repeatedly-requested courses to EVERY Membership level.
I then UPGRADED EVERY "To Be Determined" Membership available for sale or transfer in EVERY member's account to the higher membership level I had just upgraded their personal membership.
This represented tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, in value provided free of charge for EVERY MEMBER, and was yet another amazing "Exchange in Abundance" as I have done SO MANY TIMES for our members during the first 25 years of Front Sight's operation.
I then sent out emails EVERY DAY counting down the LAST 10 DAYS for EVERY Member to participate in FINISHING THE FIGHT against our enemies, by participating in ONE of three options: A simple donation to the fight, OR joining the Front Sight Warrior group and receiving spectacular value and guns and gear bonuses for several levels of participation, OR upgrading to our highest-level membership, the Order of the Knights of Front Sight for literally 1/50th of the cost.
In every email in the LAST 10 DAY Countdown I reiterated, right in the subject line that EVERY Member must participate to Finish the Fight against our enemies.
In every email in the LAST 10 DAY Countdown, I reiterated the warning regarding the litigation if EVERY Member did not participate to Finish The Fight. I wrote: What if you do nothing? Then there is a real chance due to the politics involved that we will lose, and I will be forced to make decisions that will adversely affect your membership to protect the future of Front Sight.THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN because we are 100,000 households strong, and TOGETHER can immediately control our destiny AND WIN, but ONLY if we ALL IMMEDIATELY STEP UP. Stepping up by your fellow members is in full swing. It is now up to you to join with us in the fight. No excuses.
I then set a MIDNIGHT December 31, 2021 DEADLINE for EVERY MEMBER to participate in one of three options, with the smallest participation being just $50 to FINISH THE FIGHT and defeat our enemies attempting to fraudulently foreclose on Front Sight and steal everything from us.
I emailed EVERY MEMBER and called EVERY MEMBER informing them of the MIDNIGHT December 31, 2021 DEADLINE to participate to Finish The Fight against the enemies attempting to steal Front Sight.
So, what happened?
Well, after 25 years of providing our members with the greatest "Exchange in Abundance" that any company has every provided its customers in ANY industry...
After building the greatest firearms training facility in the world, and creating the finest firearms training staff the industry has ever seen, and providing the hundreds of thousands of members with world class firearms training for literally pennies on the dollar...
After upgrading EVERY member to a much higher level of membership, and then upgrading all of their "To Be Determined" memberships that they can sell or transfer to a much higher level as well...
After adding additional classes to EVERY Member's membership...
And after sending every member household a postcard, hundreds of emails, dozens of phone calls, and counting down the days remaining for EVERY member to participate in Finishing The Fight against our enemies attempting to steal Front Sight...
And after setting a MIDNIGHT, December 31, 2021 DEADLINE for EVERY MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE to a level as LOW as $50 to Finish The Fight against our enemies...
We DID NOT Have Enough Front Sight Members Participate to
Finish The Fight.
To say I was disappointed, would be an understatement.
I wondered if those Front Sight members who did not participate, even at a level as low as $50, DID NOT CARE ENOUGH about Front Sight or their own memberships to participate in Finishing The Fight against our enemies attempting to steal Front Sight from them? IF THEY DID NOT CARE, THEN WHY SHOULD I CARE?
Well, I DO CARE!
I care about each and every staff member and their families who count on the employment that Front Sight provides them.
I care about the Town of Pahrump and the millions of dollars in revenue the 30,000 to 50,000 students who attend our courses EACH YEAR bring to Nye County, Nevada.
I DEEPLY care about the Front Sight Members WHO DID step up and participate to the highest levels they could to Finish The Fight against the enemies attempting to steal Front Sight.
I DEEPLY care about the millions of students and members we will train in the future to positively change the image of gun ownership and protect the Second Amendment for generations to come.
I care about the 30 years I have dedicated to creating the greatest firearms training facility and firearms training staff the world has ever seen.
And I STILL sincerely care about the Front Sight members, who when repeatedly called upon to step up and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with me to Finish The Fight against our enemies attempting to steal Front Sight from us, DID NOTHING.
I DO CARE.
I REFUSE to allow our enemies to steal Front Sight. I gave EVERY MEMBER MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES to step up and participate to Finish The Fight against our enemies. Had every member participated as I requested, even at the lowest level of participation, we could have Finished The Fight and construction would be resuming on Front Sight's resort area as I write this. Unfortunately, too many of Front Sight's Members did not participate, even at the lowest level of $50. THEY DID NOTHING. DID THEY NOT CARE?
I DO CARE.
And because I DO CARE, and because I meant what I said REPEATEDLY to members about what could happen if each and every member did not participate in Finishing the Fight against our enemies attempting to steal Front Sight, I have no choice but to make important and needed changes to Front Sight's policies, procedures and fees, to ensure Front Sight's successful operation for generations to come.
In essence, I have RESTRUCTURED Front Sight's policies, procedures, and fees.
You read that correctly. Front Sight is RESTRUCTURED.
Regardless of whether you think the changes Front Sight has made are needed and welcomed or not, REMEMBER THIS: Too many of the members, when repeatedly asked to participate to Finish The Fight, DID NOTHING to protect Front Sight against deceitful enemies attempting to steal Front Sight over a four year, fraudulent foreclosure action. This could have all been avoided, had all the members participated to a level as low as $50. As a result, the proper and smart legal action to protect Front Sight for generations to come, is what I have done, namely RESTRUCTURE Front Sight's policies, procedures, benefits, services, and fees.
Before I get into the changes in Front Sight policies, procedures, services, benefits, and fees, you need to fully understand the Four Levels of Exchange. If you have previously attended the Order of the Knights of Front Sight Training or the Secrets of the Ultra Successful Events, then you have heard me describe these levels. It's critical that you understand the levels of exchange because they put into clear and proper perspective why we have made the necessary changes at Front Sight. The Four Levels of Exchange are:
Even through restructuring our policies, procedures, services, benefits and fees, I believe you will see that I have continued to Exchange with you in Abundance wherever and whenever I possibly can. That's what Front Sight has done for 25 years and it will continue as much as possible in the future, as you will see below. However, in some areas of your membership, the difficult and challenging aspects of restructuring Front Sight has forced me to exchange with you in a Fair manner now, instead of in Abundance. Keep this in mind as I describe below the changes in our policies, procedures and fees.
As of today's date, these are the changes in Front Sight policies, procedures, and finances.
Front Sight will continue our mission to complete the resort and positively change the image of gun ownership by providing you and your fellow responsible citizens with the comfort of skill at arms that far exceeds law enforcement and military standards, delivered in a safe and caring environment that is perfect for every member of your family.
For the last 25 years, the "Exchange in Abundance" I have provided for Front Sight students and members has been nothing short of spectacular and literally represents hundreds of millions of dollars in value provided to hundreds of thousands of members. I do not regret it in the least. Through these changes in our policies, procedures and fees, the Front Sight Experience will continue to be an amazing "Exchange in Abundance" although not to the unprecedented levels that over 261,000 members have enjoyed during the last 25 years. Even with the changes, Front Sight is STILL the GREATEST value, with the finest facilities, and most exceptional instructional staff in the entire firearms training industry. You should be very proud to be a Front Sight Member and you should continue to enjoy the benefits of your membership as we continue to operate, grow and develop Front Sight for generations to come.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NOW?
Participate! It's just that simple!
Participate in the remarkable and phenomenal success of Front Sight. Go to your Front Sight Account TODAY to continue your membership by paying your Monthly Membership Maintenance Fee or make a single, annual payment to save two months of payments. NOTE: If you respond immediately, meaning TODAY, and pay your Membership Maintenance Fee with a single payment, saving two months of payments, as an Exchange in Abundance for doing so, I will place 5 (five) Front Sight Coins in your Front Sight Account to make your first year's Membership Maintenance Fee essentially FREE. Members who DO NOT pay their monthly or annual Membership Maintenance Fee by MIDNIGHT, February 28, 2022 will void their membership and lose any and all F$ Bucks, FS Coins, TBD Memberships and Certificates in their account.
I realize you may have questions about the restructuring of Front Sight's policies, procedures and fees. IF AFTER, you have read this email entirely, thoroughly and repeatedly, you still have questions, we are happy to answer each and every one of your questions. Contact our Concierge staff at 702.837.7433 and they will be happy to talk with you. Just be polite and remember WHY these changes occurred, and how it COULD HAVE and SHOULD HAVE been avoided.
Here are the answers to a few questions I know many of are asking right now.
What do these changes mean for YOU in terms of costs?
For the last 25 years, you have enjoyed such fabulous "Exchange in Abundance" that you were able to train without the above fees. Make no mistake, those costs are real and always existed at Front Sight, but I have always absorbed or paid them on your behalf. I really believed, and expected EVERY Member would reciprocate the "Exchange in Abundance" I have provided them over the last 25 years, by stepping up at my request to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me to Finish The Fight against our enemies attempting to steal Front Sight. When what I expected did not happen, I had no choice but to make these changes to ensure Front Sight's successful operation for generations to come, and to protect the Front Sight organization and its members from unscrupulous people attempting to steal Front Sight.
You might not initially like the idea of paying a monthly membership maintenance fee or $150 in fees for a Two Day Course or $300 in fees for a Four Day Course, but a simple search of other firearms training facilities, not even close in comparison to the world-class facilities, course offerings, and stellar instructional staff you enjoy at Front Sight, reveals that Front Sight is still an unbelievable BARGAIN.
For those who did step up and cared enough about Front Sight to participate in helping fund the litigation costs and Finish The Fight against our enemies, YOU will forever be designated as Front Sight Warriors. As an additional exchange in abundance, to show my appreciation for your willingness to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me in the fight against our enemies, I am placing 5 (five) FS Coins and 500 F$ Bucks into your account. Those FS Coins and F$ Bucks will be added to your account this week. Also, look for the announcement of a special, Front Sight Warrior hat I am creating to honor you. Wear it proudly when attending your Front Sight courses. YOU are among those Front Sight Warriors who cared and fought.
What if you want to sell or give some memberships to friends or family?
For the last 25 years, Front Sight has actively and aggressively sold memberships and upgrades. Front Sight will no longer be aggressively marketing memberships. The four levels of membership I consolidated, when I upgraded you through my Greatest Holiday Bonus in Front Sight's 25 Year History are listed on our website for anyone who wants to purchase directly from Front Sight, but you won't be receiving daily membership upgrade offers from me anymore. Yes, its true. No more multiple emails from me each day! You can now sell or transfer your memberships to anyone you want, including existing members. This means you will not be competing with me to sell all the "To Be Determined" memberships I have given you as "Exchange in Abundance" bonuses over the years.
Although the restriction of NO ADVERTISING OF MEMBERSHIPS IN ANY PUBLIC MEDIA remains in place, without much effort at all, you should be able to sell a membership or two every year to more than cover the costs associated with your own training at Front Sight. You don't need to be a master salesman; you just need to bring them to Front Sight using one of the free course certificates you likely have from the numerous "Exchange in Abundance" bonuses I have given members over the years, or simply explain to your friends, family, and co-workers the incredible training and outstanding training value that Front Sight offers. The memberships will quite literally sell themselves. I know, I have been doing it for 25 years.
What if you're already enrolled in a course?
You want to keep your Membership in good standing. How long do you have to pay your fees?
What about your Front Sight Credits and/or Patronage Points?
What if you choose not to participate with Front Sight any longer?
I sincerely hope you see I had no choice but to make the changes in Front Sight's policies, procedures, and fees to ensure Front Sight will operate, grow, and develop for generations to come, long after you and I are gone.
I sincerely, hope you see I had no choice but to RESTRUCTURE Front Sight's policies, procedures and fees to protect Front Sight from the unscrupulous people attempting to steal it.
I also sincerely hope you recognize that I have demonstrated how much I care for you in the levels of Fair Exchange, and Exchange in Abundance I have provided through the normal business changes needed in our policies, procedures, and fees.
I greatly appreciate you and want to see you and your entire family continue as a members of Front Sight for generations.
As members who have been with us for many years will tell you, Front Sight has overcome obstacles and challenges that have crushed lesser organizations, including Fortune 500 companies. We have grown and prevailed over the last 25 years through the Dot.com Crash, the Savings and Loan Crisis, 9/11, the Real Estate Crash, the Great Recession, lawsuits, and all the political upheaval of multiple administration changes in the White House. Through it all we have grown, developed, and kept our purpose to positively change the image of gun ownership and protect the Second Amendment by training hundreds of thousands of responsible citizens to a level of skill at arms that far exceeds law enforcement and military standards. We will continue our mission without interruption through restructuring Front Sight's policies, procedures, and fees to ensure we are here to serve you, your children and your grandchildren.
Come out to the world's greatest firearms training facility, and experience the world's finest firearms training, delivered by our stellar instructional staff, in the courses of your choice. Train regularly at Front Sight and bring your family and friends with you.
Sell and transfer your "To Be Determined" memberships to like-minded patriots to grow our membership and more than pay for your training.
Support our plans for today and the future. We will be here for you and your family for generations to come.
Thank you for your continued, loyal participation in Front Sight's phenomenal success!
Sincerely,

RE: Hunter's Rip-Off and letter
#2Consumer Comment
Sun, January 01, 2023
Hunter;
As a firearms pro with military and high-threat security, it did'nt take long for me to get wind of the FS business. It turns out that I became friends with the real -deal school developer that worked for Jeff Cooper, Gun Site, and he told me he was hired to build the new Piazza empire. He left shortly after a rocky start claiming the guy was a nut. I found out Pizza is a Scientologist and structures the business in a similar fashion; build a decent foundation, then launch it into a never ending expenses in order to achieve the next levels.
-My 2 cents from other experiences is that any scammer is really good at something. Usually it's talking. A guy can sound good and promise the moon, then you pay, and when the flowand or investment plan implodes he has a nest egg and runs leaving behind only excuses. What other gun range in America imploded and left everyone to pay extra massive fees??? Look hard and you'll see there are none.
Remember he began with a bizarre ad campaign of " The Millionaire Patriot" gives you afree gun with your membership. He posted a 30 year old photo of himself when he was a chiropractor. He lost the license and refered to himseld as 'Doctor Piazza, The Millionaire Patriot' and gave awy generic pistols once you forked over your cash.
Well, some will fit right in and say it was a great experience, some will be clueless, and some were victims . That's how it works. Best wishes to you and all involved. -JB
