JW RHODES report

JW induced people to enter into a business relationship with him claiming he would fund projects including music, film and real estate projects.

He solicited wire transfers to his “attorneys” account which never existed and instead the wires went to his girlfriend’s (Jennifer Arria or Jennifer Guido) Bank of America account NC. By soliciting wire transfers to his fake “attorney accounts” which went to his girlfriend he committed federal wire fraud.

JW claimed to be setting up a company to fund projects and asked for the company to be capitalized but instead the money went to his girlfirends account (Jennifer Arria or Jennifer Guido). JW claimed to own a private plane which he would assign to the business but he doesn’t own any property or a private plane. JW claimed he made his wealth from the sale of Seamless to Grubhub – he repeated this several times in various business meetings.

Regarding his website, he has no staff so everyone on his website (www.bgrholdings.com) the Team and Board - do not exist – they are stock photos of other people.

JW on his website claims to have worked with Post Malone, Cardi B and others as detailed on his website but he never has worked with them. His girlfriend Jenn Arria aka Jennifer Guido made the websites which were all false. 

JW operated under several names including JW Rhodes, Joseph William Rhodes. JW claimed to have bought a PR company, a streaming platform, a verification for artists platform, etc but they don’t exist.
