Fraud. Doug Cosgro is a professional con-man who has seperated a lot of people from their money. No surprise that he's claiming to be a talent manager now.
Stole $ 10,000 from me in an investment scam for "Noble Artists". He claimed to have $ 100,000 committed to expand the company and he needed another $ 10,000 to start another business. There was no other business.
There were no other investors.
He admits he took the money and used it to pay his personal bills.
He has disappearred. He has changed his phone number multiple times.
I understand that he has done this to at least a few other people. Last I heard, he has run to Temecula.
It's unclear whether or not his partner Jodi Mankiewicz is also comitting this fraud yet it is reasonable to assume as she has benefitted from it. It has later been revealed that Cosgro is a convicted xx dealer.
IF YOU ARE SOLICITED FOR MONEY, DO NOT DO IT. IT IS A SCAM FROM A CON-MAN AND HE IS COMMITTING FRAUD.

Truly I don't know who this is because if you were a "so called" business partner of mine wouldnt be posting an alphabet soup of lies and alternative facts.
1. If you were a "partner" you would know I have been an active Talent Manager for over ten years, first in New Orleans with "Big Easy Talent" then in Los Angeles since 2010 with Noble Artists. This is not a recent development. You would also know, that Noble Artists, is now and always had been a Talent Management Company, not an Investment firm as you affirm. I am not a licensed broker and do not give investment advice, and never have advertised as such. Noble Artists, only gets paid when our clients are paid, (15%) and work in conjuction with fellow agents under Section 1700 of the Labor Code. We do not charge for our services in advance. All of our clients are under an at-will contract and we have many who have been with us for over a decade.
2. A real "partner" you would know that professionally, Noble Artists has had the same phone number since coming to Los Angeles in 2010 (310) 956-7501 and I am available to be reached at that number anytime. And could rightly tell me who our staff has been since 2013, instead of the cavalcade of fictious employees you've listed here. Are there anymore?
3. As a "partner" you would know I haven't been to Temecula, CA. since 2011, when I was invited to a wedding, but you would know I can be found at Urth Cafe, generally Tuesday mornings between 9-10.
4. Finally, if you had any grievances with me which you feel are unresolved and are of real merit I suggest you address them to me in writing:
