Complaint Review: John Mendoza Michelle Moreno Fred Green Clark Allan Gainer Kennard Mcleod

John Mendoza ( aka John Moreno, John Corona, John Green) falsely represented himself and his wife as reputable brokers/lenders for the cannabis industry in Washington and several other states.  Mendoza (probably not his real name) and his wife Michelle Moreno told us that they could fund our company regarding our efforts to raise capital for a large expansion totaling 6.6 million.  Upon further investigation by a private investigator we have found that he is in fact a career criminal and has had multiple alisas over many years of his con artist career.

They claimed that the money lent could be insured via "wraps" that they would include in the underwriting process and that they had the funds available immediately after the due diligence process had been completed.  They also claimed that all of the funds could and would clear all the regulatory reporting required by state law in Washington. John Mendoza and Michelle Moreno required 50k dollars to purchase the insurance wraps.  Mendoza also made it very clear in the original terms sheet that this 50k was refundable if we decided to back out at any time during or after clearing the due dilegence process. 

Once we paid, the due diligence process started with their associates in crime, Fred Green, Clark Allan Gainer & Kennard Mcleod.  Our company's staff worked many hours preparing and sending all pertinent information for the due diligence process and passed all requirements easily. 

Then John Mendoza and his wife Michelle Moreno asked for more money.  They claimed that an additional insurance wrap was required to close the deal.  We refused to pay the additional money and asked why things had changed.  John Mendoza then began to become agitated and repeatedly asked for additional money in varying amounts.  

When we began to transfer information to our attorney and our attorney attempted to contact John Mendoza and his wife Michelle Moreno to better understand the situation.  John Mendoza then proceeded to become extremely agitated and threatened to walk out on the process and rescind the offer of funding.  At this time, we became very wary of the process and decided to sever the deal and walk away. 

We then began to ask for our 50k refund so that we could end the process and move on with ending any type of working relationship with John and his associates.  This is where the situation became very irregular.  John Mendoza called and threatened us, our company, our families and employees with physical harm as well as to threaten us with false claims to the state regulatory body in charge of cannabis in Wasington State, the WSLCB.  We responded that our attorney would be the only contact for him after this point.  

He has since cut off communication and we have been forced to involve the Spokane and Yakima county prosecutors as well as our own attorneys to file a civil suit and criminal charges against John and all his known associates.  This man and his wife are skilled con artist and need to be shut down. 

If you have any information regarding their criminal activities please contact us so that we may work together to shut them down and keep other legitimate businesses from falling victim to these horrible people's scam.  Our staff, their families and our own have been affected by this con artist and we will not rest until he is shut down in all 50 states or behind bars where he belongs.
