Complaint Review: James Allen Bradley d/b/a Magick Lantern Entertainment d/b/a Mystic Media - Monrovia CA

James Allen Bradley who sometimes goes by "Rebecca" claims to be a producer in Hollywood.  See https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0103262  

On July 26, 2016 James Allen Bradley, Michael Patrick Lilly and Dr. Travis Fox entered into a contract with me, led by James Bradley's efforts wherein I would loan their group $15,000.00 USD for the creation of two (2) TV / Film projects to be shot in Canada. The expectation from Mr. Bradley was that Mr. Lilly would bring Canadian Tax Credits, Dr. Fox would bring $15,000.00 and I would as well.  The money was a LOAN for One (1) year with a 15% interets paid back at the completion of the one (1) year in a guarantee loan that was supported by the Canadian tax credits. Paperwork was shown to me to prove that this was real. 

Mr. Bradley and Dr. Fox both gave frequent and credible verbal assurances that all of the money was deposited via Boston Private Bank in Los Angeles. All Money was transferred via check to Mr. Bradley.  All contracts signed. 

Beginning on August 21, 2016 for the next six (6) weeks, Mr. Bradley used the money on a vacation with his son, Joshua Bradley.  James moved the money for the production from the agreed to Boston Private account to his private business account for a company called Mystic Media (I have the bank statements to prove this) James stated that this "vacation" was just a "delay" while waiting on a work permit to enter Canada.  He never got the permit. 

In Early October 2016, James entered Canada (without a work permit), took the scripts given and changed the writers name to a friend in Canada of his named Rhys Wyn Trenhaile who never wrote any of the material. This was done, so that James could unlawfully gain more tax credit money in Canada. 

I revoked the loan in October 2016. Demanding the money back. James refused saying he was out of the country and did not have to comply. 

A new contract was done to get the money back from James Braadley on December 14, 2016. James violated that contract within fourteen (14) days of signing it.  

In July 2017 (when the loan was due payable) James refused. In January 2018 James claimed he had the money, he admitted to refusing to pay it back. 

James is presently in hiding, using a Post Office Box for his address, he is "couch surfing" still homeless and has not been found 

James stole more than $15,000.00 from me. He left me with debts he incurred on my company, on my personal life and the interest.  James stole intellectual property. 

Multiple offers of settlement have been sent to James to just get the money back, skip the police action, skip the legal headaches.  James instead makes threates against people and never pays back.  James always has a story of why he cannot make payment. 

James admits in emails he is hiding to avoid being arrested for the theft of the money and being sued. James has filed court actions to hide that no judge will let him get away with.  He has lied in open court. James has been previously sued in Texas for $1,400,000.00 claiming to have Canada ties, claiming to have "angel investors" and other "sources".  James has none of these things. 

James also claims to be working (previously) a Robin Williams Biography story. There is no truth in this either.  

James claims his "partner" Michael Patrick Lilly is approved by the Canadian Government for tax credits, this is not true.  

Dr. Travis Fox assisted in the theft by claiming that he deposited a loan of $15,000.00 to James Bradley. Dr. Fox never did this and never admitted this until my money had been taken six months previous. Dr. Fox assisted in creating a fraudulant contract with Mr. Bradley

Mr. Bradley preys on those in the Entertainment Indutry and never returns money. He admits he is not returning money and has admitted to stealing to the point of a Grand Theft amount.
