Timothy Lampros (his latest alias) is at it again. This time he has started a memorial art company. Ironicaly, he got a contract with the LAPD Union, to build the "End of Watch Memorial Wall", an impressive piece of art but he is burning that bridge too as he mislead the LAPD, cheated his employees, vendors and others.
Employees go weeks unpaid, others paid less than min. wage, did not report wages, ripped of sub contractors, investors, friends. Simply a toxic individual.
He holds the threat of not getting back pay due, over the heads of his employees in attempts to get them to continue to work. Eventialy this fails, they quit and he moves on to the next victims.
After years of running production scams, multi level marketing scams, and investor scams, he is now onto his next one. - "Fundraising" for memorials and getting investors for future memorials.
If he can build a memorial for a non-proffit, as the first LAPD one, he can use them to "fundraise" and by habitual cheating and lying, his proffits are bigger. Seems the formula could also have worked by taking an honest aproach? But this is sadly not the case.
He is cheating the IRS, Landlords, Employees and Associates. He's in direct violaiton of numerous City Codes and Labor Practices. Really a bit amazing, is the scope of his activities and lowness of his character.

I would laugh after reading this if it wasn't so sad! I cant believe this Con Man is still at large.
I was surfing Cable News when a segment with Cruz bagging on Trump came up. They printed his comments on the screen while playing them. - "SOCIOPATH, NARCISSIST, HABITUAL LIAR!" And honest to God, the words made Tim Lampros pop into my head. So much so, that I got online to see if he was still in business and found this post.
I guess the "Livin' is Easy", when he avoids the expenses of paying his employees, taxes AND rent?
When he "dated" (pretended to like my naive friend, years younger than himself) he USED her to live RENT FREE in her apartment, at the same time he was also NOT paying rent at his studio. That is a formula to live cheap in L.A. and keeps his scams going. But how does he avoid jail for all his fraud? And if he's really working with the LAPD? Amazing!
