What's Fred Doing in that Concrete Building???
Currently Fred is living with Alice Arnett Lykins in Olive Hill, KY. It is reported that Fred has something going on in a little concrete block building on Cold Springs Road. The windows are blacked out and have bars on them.
I hear Alice is involved with BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST INC. and is a licensed insurance agent...any of this sound familiar???
Fred consistently aligns himself with women who he can manipulate and who are heavily involved in a religious organization and/or the insurance business.
Assumed names under BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST INC. are:
BIG BROTHER'S BLESSINGS
WARRIORS OF THE WORD
CHRISTWAY CHURCH
Current Officers:
President Marcus McCleese
Secretary Alice M Lykins
Director Marcus McCleese
Director JoCarla McCleese

Initial Officers at time of formation:

subject Charles A Spradlin
I have recently come in contact with a man named Chalie Spradlin and searched the internet looking for information about him. I came across your blog and noticed his name in there several times. I have family members who are attending his so called church in Westfield IN and am very concerned about them. He is passing himself off as a pastor but I don't believe that he is at all and after reading everything I've seen on the internet I am convinced he is nothing more than a con artist. Thanks for posting what you have so far about him and the others. Do you know of any other information you could share with me about him? Have there been any legal actions taken against Mr. Spradlin? Has he been convicted? Are any authorities involved? I am afraid the family is going to be taken for a lot of money.

I live in USA , but have a very close relationship with the government of Ukraine and work with some western world financial institutions in coordinating of financing some infrastructure covernment projects in Ukraine.
I ran into the name of Charles Spradlin
He is in Ukraine now and he is working on the level of high government officials of the Ukrainian Government promising them to bring Billions of Dollars from so called China Foundation
I googled them out and their website sounds very odd
Please advice any information you possibly know and please provide any kind of documents or sourses of documents which can prove that this is all scam.

subject RE: Fred Damon
I am writing you concerning Fred Damron. I need to know for certain we are talking about the same person. Here is his physical description: He is approximately 45 to 50 years in age . he is around 5ft 10 inches tall weighs approximately 220, 240. Has a full head of thick salt and pepper hair always keeps a beard and mustache. He wears glasses. Speaks with a generic accent, kind of nasally. What I know about him personally is that he grew up in West Virginia, I think somewhere around Fort Gay. His Mother is still living but I think his father has passed. He has not mentioned any siblings. Said his family owns a farm. His father owned a service station when Fred was growing up. He mentioned that his Mother owned a radio station . He says his job now is a currency exchanger/broker. He seems to be very computer savvy. The reason I need to know if this is the same person is that he is involved with my wife’s sister in-law, and my wife’s mother, my mother in-law. He is also very interested in our church. I am afraid someone in our family or our community is going to get hurt somehow, if indeed this is the same person. If you have a picture of him please scan it and send it to me. I realize you have no idea who I am, but I assure you all I want is confirmation that we are talking about the same person. I have no other agenda.

I am concerned that Fred is up to no good. The church that he is involved with now is called Christway Church in Olive Hill. He has a foot hold in a church here in our community. He and his girlfriend are the treasurers, and the congregation is growing. I sense trouble. Is there any kind of warrant out on him? I can give the authorities info about his whereabouts. I want him stopped before he hurts someone again.

You are free to recall your loan to us at any time subject only to the limits we set to prevent any untoward cashflow situations to us. At the present, there is no known country in the world where it is illegal to make out a private loan.
3. What is the term of the loan ?
There is no agreed term of the loan and we credit the interest to your account on a daily basis.
4. Can I leave my funds with you indefinitely and just collect the payouts daily.
Yes.
5. Can I send funds to you in any other way besides e-gold ?

Yes you can but our first line of support is by email and all your questions can be answered by that way. Should you require to talk on the telephone, we could provide you a contact only if your loan size is substantial and you require the comfort on knowing that we are contactable.
7. Do you have an office I can visit ?
We are an internet entity, a duly registered Company in Vanuatu and we do our business exclusively on the internet and do not require to have a physical office to work from. We do however have an agency office located at Singapore which acts as a collecting agent and physical contact location for us and you can visit us there if you really need or want to. These will have to be arranged and we will meet you only by appointment.
8. How can you pay out such rates ?
We are able to consistently generate profits in excess of what we payout to you by a factor of about 3 so your funds will help us make twice what we pay out to you.
9. What business are you in to generate such returns ?
We have 2 primary businesses from which we generate our profits. Firstly, we are in the Domaining business in that we acquire quality domain names which we develop and enhance the value of before selling it off for a high profit. In the time we hold the domain waiting for a buyer, we leaseback those domains with investors and have the domains rented for weekly income. Our second core business is in the trading of currency options in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. We have an inhouse developed system which we use to secure monthly returns from. We are also involved in training of traders who would use our system to trade under our flag and manage our inhouse funds.
10. How long do you see yourself staying in business ?
Our inhouse system was developed over a period of 15 years so we have been in the game for quite a while and we forsee ourselves staying in this business indefinitely and have a succession program in place. Our domaining business will always be there unless the internet goes away which cannot be forseen so we will be around long after all the other HYIP programs on the net, pretending to be real, are gone.

No. We have in place a referral program. This is a 7 level mlm type structure whereby you will earn referral commissions from people you refer to the program. These people will stay in your downline forever once they sign up under your referral link and you earn from their loan placements. Since it is a 7 level payout, the commissions income from it, if fully developed can be significantly substantial.

Adversary Proceeding
No. 07-____________
COMPLAINT TO AVOID AND RECOVER TRANSFERS
COME NOW, CEP Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and Colon End Parenthesis Trust, LLC (“Trust,” and together with Holdings, the “Debtors”), and file this Complaint to Avoid and Recover Transfers, alleging as follows:
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
1. The Debtors filed voluntary petitions in bankruptcy under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq.) on July 27, 2007 (the “Petition Date”). An order was entered on August 3, 2007 to have their cases jointly administered. This Court has jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(2)(F), (H) and (O).
2. Venue of this adversary proceeding is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1409.
3. On July 9, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed its Complaint for Injunctive and Other Relief in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Raleigh Division (the “District Court”), commencing the lawsuit styled Securities and Exchange Commission v. CEP Holdings, Inc., d/b/a colonendparenthesis.net, Trevor Reed, Clayton Kimbrell and Colon End Parenthesis Trust, LLC, Case No. 5:07-cv-00256-BO (the “SEC Action”). On July 10, 2007, the District Court entered the Order Granting Preliminary Injunction, Freezing Assets, Appointing a Receiver and Ordering Other Ancillary Relief (the “District Court Order”), to which Order the Defendants consented and the Debtors’ businesses were shut down. William F. Perkins was appointed receiver for the Debtors pursuant to the District Court Order and has since managed the Debtors’ assets and financial affairs.
2. Venue of this adversary proceeding is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1409.
THE PARTIES
3. On July 9, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed its Complaint for Injunctive and Other Relief in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Raleigh Division (the “District Court”), commencing the lawsuit styled Securities and Exchange Commission v. CEP Holdings, Inc., d/b/a colonendparenthesis.net, Trevor Reed, Clayton Kimbrell and Colon End Parenthesis Trust, LLC, Case No. 5:07-cv-00256-BO (the “SEC Action”). On July 10, 2007, the District Court entered the Order Granting Preliminary Injunction, Freezing Assets, Appointing a Receiver and Ordering Other Ancillary Relief (the “District Court Order”), to which Order the Defendants consented and the Debtors’ businesses were shut down. William F. Perkins was appointed receiver for the Debtors pursuant to the District Court Order and has since managed the Debtors’ assets and financial affairs.
4. The SEC has alleged that Trevor Reed (“Reed”) and Clayton Kimbrell (“Kimbrell”), through Holdings, were involved in a fraudulent and unregistered offering of securities sold via the internet.
5. Upon information and belief, since May 2006, over $16,000,000 has flowed into the bank accounts of Trust from more than 10,000 participants in one of the three “investment” programs operated by Holding’s d/b/a websites. Trust served as an internet payment processor
through which the Debtors’ participants received and disbursed money.
5. Upon information and belief, since May 2006, over $16,000,000 has flowed into the bank accounts of Trust from more than 10,000 participants in one of the three “investment” programs operated by Holding’s d/b/a websites. Trust served as an internet payment processor
through which the Debtors’ participants received and disbursed money.
6. Upon information and belief, Holding’s “investment” programs included the following:
(a) a passive, interest-only investment format at colonendparenthesis.net. This program required a minimum initial investment of $20 and promised a daily return of 2% (more than 600% per annum) that was payable every thirty days by credit to the participant’s account at Trust. The participant committed to either a 180-day or 360-day option, but the original principal was not returned to the participant.
(b) investment autosurf websites generally known as CEPCoast.com and Coastin88.com. These programs were functionally identical, but had different financial restrictions and payout amounts. Participants purchased advertising packages, or “Ad Packs” at $5.00 each, which allowed the participant to place his website into a pool of websites that would be viewed and rated on a scale of one to five. If a participant purchased an Ad Pack, he or she then chose to either participate in the program offered at CEPCoast.com or Coastin88.com and was, thereafter, eligible to recover some of his or her costs, or even make a profit, by viewing and rating 15 websites--no more, no less--each day. For CEPCoast.com, 90% of each day’s revenue from purchases of Ad Packs was split pro-ratably among the participants who viewed websites that day, which participants could receive back as much as 130% of the cost of their Ad Packs. For Coastin88.com, 88% of each day’s revenue from purchases of Ad Packs was split pro-ratably among the participants who viewed websites that day, which participants could receive back as much as 115% of the cost of their Ad Packs. The caveats of these auto-surf programs were: (i) only participants who purchased Ad Packs were eligible to view and rate websites in order to earn credits, (ii) to share in a daily payout, the participant had to review all 15 websites sent to him or her that day, (iii) CEPCoast.com paid out 90% and Coastin88.com paid out 88% of daily Ad Pack purchases in their respective programs, and (iv) the payout to viewers each day was dependent on the amount of Ad Packs sales on that day (cash inflow), not on the number of websites viewed and rated by participants.
7. Upon information and belief, investors were led to believe that their funds were used to invest in safe “brick and mortar” type businesses that produced the promised yields, but there was, in fact, no significant investment of participant funds in any third-party business or investment other than a money market account yielding approximately 4%. Neither Reed nor Kimbrell invested personal funds in the programs described above.
8. Upon information and belief, (a) there was no review or audit of the financial transactions of the Debtors and (b) their records consist almost entirely of databases created by website transactions.
9. Several millions of dollars were transferred out of the Debtors’ accounts to Reed, Kimbrell, their family, as well as to employees and sub-contractors, for which it is believed that the Debtors did not receive reasonably equivalent value.
10. The Debtors had no source of funding for the profits paid to participants in these schemes other than the deposits of subsequent investors. It appears that more than 4,000 investors are still owed more than $9,000,000 of the money they initially invested in the Debtors.
11. Defendant Frederick Damron is a resident of Kentucky.
12. Defendant may be served with process in this adversary proceeding by mailing a copy of the summons and a copy of this Complaint by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to his attention at 130 South Cold Springs Road, Olive Hill, Kentucky 41164, or by such other means as may be permitted by Rule 7004 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

14. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is an itemization of the transfers from the Debtors to Defendant by date and amount of each transfer, which transfers totaled $443,484.00 (the “Transfers”).
15. During the operation of the Debtors’ scheme as set out in paragraphs 4 through 10 (the “Scheme”), various investors, including Defendant, were paid funds by the Debtors that purported to be (a) redemptions of funds invested or (b) profits made on principal funds invested.
14. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is an itemization of the transfers from the Debtors to Defendant by date and amount of each transfer, which transfers totaled $443,484.00 (the “Transfers”).
15. During the operation of the Debtors’ scheme as set out in paragraphs 4 through 10 (the “Scheme”), various investors, including Defendant, were paid funds by the Debtors that purported to be (a) redemptions of funds invested or (b) profits made on principal funds invested.
The source of these payments, including those to Defendant, was the principal investments of other investors. The payments to investors were made by the Debtors generally in furtherance of the Scheme. The fraudulent nature of the transfers, including those to the Defendant, was concealed. It is not fair for those investors who received such payments, including Defendant, to keep those payments to the detriment of the remaining creditors and investors who have not been paid and whose investments were used to pay other investors, including Defendant.
16. The Debtors contend that all transfers, in whatever form, made to Defendant by the Debtors are avoidable and recoverable by the Debtors. Defendant is on notice that the Debtors are seeking avoidance and recovery of all transfers from the Debtors to them, even if such transfers are not listed on the attached exhibit, and even if the total amount of these transfers exceeds the amounts set forth on the attached exhibit.

I consider convicted felon Fred Damron aka Frederick Cecil Damron, Frederick C. Damron as well as his girlfriend Ginger Hagerman aka Ginger Lee Rose Hagerman, Ginger L.

Spradlin that pays premiums on Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts called FREEDOM 7, FREEDOM 8, LASTING LEGACY, LEGACY 7.

Fred Damron is a convicted felon. He was indicted on five counts of "Misuse of a Social Security Number" by a federal grand jury and pled guilty to one count in 2003. Frederick Cecil Damron criminal docket 02-CR-00006 Upon speaking to an ex-family member of Mr. Damron's, I was informed that these counts stem from the misuse of his eldest son's social security number. This ex-family member alleges that Mr. Darmon began using the number to avoid paying income taxes and child support. It was only discovered after the child was grown and was enlisting in the armed services.
He is currently under investigation with the Ashland, KY police department. If you have any questions as to whether this program or any program like it is legal, please contact Detective Rob Brunty (606) 327-2068 who is heading this investigation.
Billion Dollar Trust Manager, Fred Damron's home
Fred owned and resided in this home located at 1282 Highland Drive, Saint Albans, WV.
Ginger Lee Rose Hagerman (aka Ginger Hagerman, Ginger L. Hagerman, Ginger Rose) declared personal bankruptcy in 2002. The address of the billion dollar charity - 799 Hunt Street - is her home apartment #13. As of 2002, she had been living off of government disability payments for three years and accumulated $34,000 in outstanding credit card and retail charge card debt. There's some interesting documentation in the court records about her having to amend her social security number that she used on the initial filings.
