FACTOR EXCHANGE Newport Beach, California
Investigators uncovered 411,000 compromised credit and debit card numbers, they said, adding that they believed Eric of Costa Mesa , California ATTORNEY Generals office busted and prevented economic losses of more than $200 million."Hackers and fraudsters cannot count on being able to prowl the Internet in anonymity and with impunity, even across state boundaries," Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement. "Clever computer criminals operating behind the supposed veil of the Internet are still subject to the long arm of the law."The report reads like a book report on a cyber-mystery novel, with colorful hacker names including "xVisceral," "zer0" and "JoshTheGod" selling their underground digital wares, and spying on unwitting civilians.One of the alleged hackers the report described 34-year-old Eric, had apparently created a piece of malicious software called "Hogue's Rat," which "enabled the user to turn on the web camera on victims computers and spy on them, and to record every keystroke of the victim-computers user.""Hogue sold his RAT widely over the Internet, usually for $50 per copy and boasted that he had personally infected '50-100' computers with his RAT," the report said.With this and other types of cyber-surveillance techniques, the suspects allegedly "sold credit cards by the thousands and took the private information of untold numbers of people."The case is being handled by the California U.S. Attorney's office's Complex Frauds unit.

Richard Johnson Macscon Financial Libel

After exiting our start up phase we were introduced to Richard Johnson of Macscon financial to procure funding as we entered our growth phase. Richard Johnson unsuccessfully introduced us around to his contacts in Newport Beach and promised us funding after charging us 4000.00 for an investor deck prepared by William Cain in his organization. After being introduced to a bevy of potential investors Richard Johnson gave us his terms and concurrently tried to play one partner against the other with the end game for him being that one partner would be pushed out as he absorbed the others equity. When we pushed back and told Richard Johnson that his terms were unacceptable he proceed to inter fear with existing business relationships we had work very hard to procure. This is when the situation got strange, we returned from a business trip to find Richard Johnson sitting in the conference room of a potential investor with the owner of a local Lamborghini dealership. When asked what he was doing, Richard Johnson said that he was trying to procure cars for our clients. At this point we were 2 weeks away from going out of business and Richard Johnson was making no progress. He then asked for more money and a salary matching the CEO of the company and we let him go as he was obviously delusional.
Immediately after letting him go he started attacking us online and had his lackey named Robert Goodrich infiltrate a corresponding company to watch us. Robert Goodrich immediately started spreading misinformation to our new referral partners and concurrently posted defamatory comments on the internet about us. As the days progressed Robert Goodrich covertly gathered confidential information on our company including client lists and confidential information. Robert Goodrich then told a potential partner that Richard Johnson had copied our business model and was currently in operation. Knowing that Richard Johnson did not have the resources or the bandwidth to copy our model so we tactically gave Robert Goodrich pieces of information and low and behold the information ended up on this very site the next day. 14 days later there were 10 posts and these predators seemed to have gone away.
We began to search out legal representation at this point to suppress the posts he had put online. A lawyer was procured, Richard Johnson and Robert Goodrich's IP addresses were gained through emails they had sent and matched to several sites. Letters were sent and curiously enough after 3 months of no posts to these sites posts began to pop up again. Now any rational human being would look at the content of what Richard Johnson and Robert Goodrich posted and chuckle. They posted that we were guilty of everything from trafficking humans to elder abuse to time share fraud. We are also apparently under investigation by the FBI, Secret Service, and the CIA according to Richard Johnson and lackey Robert Goodrich. Then the death threats started. Richard Johnson seems to have procured the services of an individual to issue death threats to a partner and his girlfriend. Threatening rape and all other types of atrocity. This situation at this point crossed over from civil to criminal. A report was filed with the Costa Mesa police department and Richard Johnson is now being investigated. The curious thing is that every time Richard Johnson is poked at, a new post appears anonymously on the internet somewhere.
We are seeking criminal and civil charges against Richard Johnson and will not stop until we make sure that he cannot do this to another start-up company ever again. Richard Johnson and Robert Goodrich have failed miserably in the business world and will continue to do so because of their lack of vision and small intellect. Our company has survived this onslaught and is growing with capital that we raised on our own. This growth could have been tripled if not for the negative and false press that Richard Johnson and Macscon Financial Services created. We will survive and the bottom feeders of the world with no vision will continue to assault innovative company's that tell them "NO".

This was posted by Richard Johnson of Macscon Financial Services. Richard Johnson and Macscon prey on startups to suck as much capital out of a business possible putting a tremendous
amount of stress on the organization. When we realized that Richard Johnson was not
going to raise capital for us and was milking us for every penny he could, we parted ways with him. That is when the posts on this site and the death threats started. Each and every post you see on this site is made by Richard Johnson and his lackey Robert Goodrich. Robert Has a history of these types of attacks which I have referenced below. In a combined effort they have attacked me and my company online and over the phone. This has all happened because we simply said NO to a parasite who wanted an incredible amount of the company coupled with a ridiculous percentage of capital raised. Richard Johnson will bring your company to its knees if you let him anywhere near it. We have survived Macscon and Richard Johnsons attacks and are thriving. In a way I feel bad for Richard Johnson, Robert Goodrich, and Macscon Financial Services, their situation and leadership are so dismal that the crouch in the shadows and attack the companies that they were unsuccessfully able to help. If you have had the same experience with Richard Johnson, Robert Goodrich, or Macscon Financial Services please respond to this post and our legal team will reach out to you. Do not let this corporation victimize you.
