Houston Man and Son Indicted For Fraud
 
Aug, 25, 2011


HOUSTON
- Jeffery Wayne ONeil, 63, of Houston, has been arrested following the return of an indictment charging him and his son, Nathaniel Chilo aka Nathaniel ONeil, 21, with mail and wire fraud, United States Attorney Jos Angel Moreno announced today.
 
Jeffrey ONeil was arrested last night by United States Secret Service agents without incident. He made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy and was released on a $50,000 bond. A warrant remains outstanding for the arrest of Nathaniel ONeil. Anyone who has
information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact the United States Secret Service at 713-868-2299.
 
The 10-count indictment, returned under seal on Aug. 11, 2011, was unsealed today following the arrest of Jeffrey ONeil. The father and son, both of Houston, are charged with six counts of mail fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Jeffery ONeil operated various debt relief businesses in the Houston area under different names, including but not limited to J. ONeil/Associates Inc., World Outlook, World Outlook Management and Universal Restoration, none of which were licensed by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, according to the indictment.
 
The indictment alleges a scheme allegedly perpetrated by the ONeils between June 2005 and September 2010 which consisted essentially of a plan to obtain money from individuals throughout the United States by representing that in exchange for paying money for entering into various programs they offered, they could provide debt relief in the form of credit card debt, tax liens, mortgage foreclosure, judgments. The ONeils allegedly used agents in various parts of the United States to solicit, communicate with and receive payments from individuals seeking debt relief and the ONeils communicated with agents and individuals seeking debt relief by and through e-mails.

The defendants allegedly falsely represented and caused others to falsely represent that debt relief would be obtained through the Federal Trade Commission, the Senate Banking Committee, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), through injunctive action, and through a program called the Debt Reconciliation Program or Debt Relief Program, referred to as DRP. According to the indictment, Jeffery ONeil falsely represented and caused others to falsely represent that he worked with the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.
 
Additionally, the indictment alleges the scheme further involved the sending of emails to include an altered speech by Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which falsely include statements about a debt reconciliation proposal sponsored by World Outlook Management as well as a fraudulent calendar for the Judiciary Committee of U.S. House of Representatives. Also, the ONeils allegedly created Fair Credit Investigation Company, an entity bearing the initials FCIC, the same as the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission which was falsely represented as a debt relief program.

The ONeils allegedly caused individuals throughout the United States to send checks payable to the FCIC to an address in Houston, to obtain credit card debt relief. When, in actuality, according to the indictment, the majority of the funds were used for the ONeils personal benefit.
 
The indictment also contains a notice of forfeiture seeking forfeiture of $617,000, the alleged proceeds from the illegal activity alleged in indictment.  
            
Each count of mail fraud and wire fraud carries a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a fine up to $250,000.
  The case was investigated by the United States Secret Service and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney John Braddock.

Become a member and post your story on the board. I will then send you a private message. Don't post your phone number or email anywhere because you will be harrassed and threatened by World Outlook Management staff such as I have. (I have proof just as recent as January 2010).

Keep in mind that this report is not about me. Expect to read some very angry and incoherent personal attacks that are meant to silence and censor anyone who tries to expose this thief. 

I will not be silenced and neither should any of the of victims out there.

Truth & Justice will prevail. It's just a matter of time. TICK TOCK..TICK TOCK..

I am NOT owner of the company. Jeff O'Neil is.

This person is an absolute liar. This person is failing to disclose that there were more than enough telphone numbers to contact the company. This person also failed to admit that they were chareged a fee by an agent not direct contact with the company.

The agents all took clients money and simply dissappeared. The man himself did not dissapear. I signed up for the exact same program and not only did I get my home, but I now have a 720 credit score.

I would like to say to anyone reading this story about O'Neil to realize one important truth. There is always two sides to every story and then the truth. The truth is this company has helped thousands of consumers realize their financial goals. The company that post these comments have also agreed to allow re-buttals. This person should be after the person that they actually paid their money too.I want everyone to read this as I stand behind the man, the company and the program.

This family praises the efforts.

Sincerely,

George Zepeda

I am a former employee of J Oneil Associates JONA World Outlook, I have personally received thank you cards memo's about the amazing work this man(Jeff O"Neil has performed.

I would like to add that Agents were paid handsome commissions for bringing in clients to JONA. Agents also charged enormous fees to the consumer without the prior consent of Jeff O'Neil. And to read the reports that this man ripped off the public is absurd. Since I did business with the company direct i can say from all honesty that my family would be in financial ruins had it not been for this man.

I would suggest that this report divert from Jeff O'Neil and recognize the source of their information comes from agents who were caught gauging the unsuspecting consumers. If a report of this nature is to be continued, both sides should be told.

My family and I thank god for Mr. O'Neil and his staff And to the stafford agent who is now operating as a ministry, I say be aware we are reporting this data to the authorities out of gratitude for all of JONA'S hard and productive efforts

I know what happened is horrible...but didn't it occur to you to put the $4K in paying down your credit card debt rather than giving the money to someone who was a stranger to you?
