Theodore Robinson became a Universal Life Church "minister" to give him some cred in his securities fraud con that targets small busness owners and startups.  Promising to fund the business, Robinson represents himself as the senior turstee of a Christian trust (many diferent names) that will fund businesses that meet certain "requirements", including doing chariatble work.  He says his trust will commit its securities, usually in the form of bank instruments or guarantees to fund your company's needs to the fullest.  All you have to do is put down a deposit to start the action.  The deposit is guanteed by these bank notes.  But here's the truth:  there is no bank note, he will not fund anything and you will never see your money again.  He has been playing this scam for 2 decades and defrauded invetsors and business people alike for millions.   Based in Chicago., he's hooked up with Texas convicted fraudster Harvey Greenwald and international money launderer Dirk C. Wagenaar.  He also runs a charitable donation site - just send you money.

 Beware this fake "reverend"  he is a fraud.  He took me for over $600K in a land deal.  He's constatntly chaging his scam, so if you hear his name, run, run, run.
