Just the actual facts!

OK, so I got it wrong.  The tattoo on Mike's arm does not have hands forming a triangle around the eye.  It's just a triangle.  But you have to realize that I hadn't seen Mike's bare arm in a while. He was in jail for 13 months, you know.  He did get to show it to his buddies in the white supremacist gang he joined, though.

I'm glad that the slight change in insignia didn't fool the couple of people who wrote in though.  Mike can stutter and create evidence and post on the message boards as half a dozen different posters and doctor documents all he wants.  Those who know him, are not fooled and that's all that matters.  Just the facts, Mike?  Here they are:  I stated from the git go that you were abuseoflaw.org and you denied it.  Then all of a sudden abuseoflaw announces that you have been "hired".  Uh, huh.  The general gist of the insignia that was on the abuseoflaw website (supposedly owned by the non-existent Illumination Fraud Foundation) and now on Illuminatistocks.com just coincidentally happens to appear on your arm.  Oh and btw, I received an email overnight from someone who claims that you are also smallcapacademy.com, but I haven't confirmed that yet.  They sure seem to be the same website though.

Speaking of illuminatistocks.com and smallcapacademy.com, isn't it just funny how they both claim you could have made a fortune following their picks for the last year, and yet one was registered in February and the other one was registered less than 4 weeks ago.  WOW!  That is standard Mike deception.

And isn't it funny how I predicted that you would look in the mirror and talk to yourself and suddenly find yourself talking to pretend people about how horrible a person I am.  Heart wrenching stories Mike?  How about the million dollars you stole from Carol Perez, who then couldn't afford breast cancer treatments.  How about the $ 1.5 million that Greg Gedda flushed down the toilet to your schemes.  How about your single handed destruction of WiFi Med (WIFM)?  Or the money your ripped off from the families of the employees of Principal Capital Group whom you then stiffed for paychecks?  Or how about your children whom you abandoned and didn't feed?  Sohail Djarin, Robert Kramarz, David Gregg (Harold's brother), Rob Seechrist, Frank Webber, George Key, Thomas Quinn, Steve Eckert, untold number of hotels, car rental agencies and restaurants where you played "dine and dash" with Shanney and your kids.  Are those stories heart wrenching enough?  These are just the ones off the top of my head.  And please don't shed anymore crocodile tears with your claims about how you are working towards making restitution.  You don't care about your victims and you will never pay back a dime unless you are forced to.

Great lie on your posting yesterday, though. "Recently, we have made it a point to sit on the sidelines...".  Actually, you were busy trying to conduct your cons and when your latest attempt failed, you decided to take another crack at me.  Here's an email I received a couple of nights ago.

"Mr. Sharp,

I want to thank you for probably saving me and my company a lot of money.  I was close to making a deal with Mr. Osborn when during the course of my due diligince [sic] I came across your website.  I shudder when I think of how close I came to exposing everyone around me to this person.  Thank you for all you do.

A grateful friend"

So the fact of the matter is that Mike was pissed that this blog ruined another shot at his ability to abscond with someone's money. And he returned to his own blog to "get even".

Remember the confrontation between Mike and my attorney at the courthouse, which I recounted in yesterday's post, where Mike stated that, "that if 'his buddy' (meaning me) didn't come up with a settlement number and agree to a mutual take down of blogs (this one and abuseoflaw.org), that things were "going to get worse"  This is why Mike tried to make a deal with David.  So that he could continue with his cons.  And now, his latest posting/fabrication is his idea of things "getting worse".  OK.

Btw, did you notice how Mike didn't deny that that conversation took place?  Game, set, match!

Here's a promise!  This blog will never come down.  Abuseoflaw.org will.  Very soon.  GOOGLE has already taken away Mike's right to advertise on it.  Yes Mike, I noticed.

Looks Like Mike Has Been Talking to Himself Again As He Enters The Pump & Dump Game

Apparently, everyone's favorite convicted felon/petty thief/confidence man/car jacker/deadbeat Dad/stock fraud artist is at it again, soliciting input on his abuseoflaw.org website with respect to activities he imagines that I am involved in.  I'm really not surprised.  He warned my Attorney at his most recent Judgment Debtor exam (he owes me half a million bucks in judgments, you know), that if "his buddy" (meaning me) didn't come up with a settlement number and agree to a mutual take down of blogs (this one and abuseoflaw.org), that things were "going to get worse".  David's correct response was, "If you expect George to take down his blog on you, that is never going to happen".

As I said, the exchange happened after Mike once again did not comply with a court order to produce his tax returns.  You see, Mike continues to think that he is above the law.  Well he is compelled to appear again next month and I'll look forward to hearing what his excuse will be this time.

Anyway, now he is seeking input regarding something or other someone unrelated to me wrote on a website and of course, after looking in the mirror and having a conversation with himself, he will concoct some story about how one, two or thirty people stepped forward and gave their accounts of what a horrible person I am.  Been there, done that.

In the meantime, while Michael points his finger at Leslie Howard's activities, he has entered into the stock promotion business himself with the website, illuminatistocks.com.  Yeah, that's what you want to buy: a stock promoted by a convicted con man with an FBI file a mile long.  It appears that Mike is impressed with Mr. Howard's activities, as he himself now wants to push "pre-promotion" alerts.  I guess he is hoping to get the competition out of the way.

Now Michael is going to deny all day long that this is his website, or claim that he is just affiliated with it (much like he does with abuseoflaw.org, which is 100% owned and operated by Mike), but his fingerprints are all over that website.  The most obvious evidence is the logo which appears under the website's header.  The eye surrounded by hands was at one time abuseoflaw.org's logo and is tattooed on Michael's arm.  Really, Michael, did you think nobody was going to figure that out?  Want to see something amusing?  The registration of the website at GoDaddy.com provides the address, Playa Hornos 39 Matamoros, Tamaulipas 87470 Mexico.  Click here to get a GOOGLE view of that address.

Needless to say, that I will personally see to it, that anybody who has their stock promoted by Michael is going to find out the background of the person that is representing their company.

The Wizard Of Cons Is Back!Part 5: Mike and The Crime "He Didn't Commit"

How does one go onto the internet and profess to everybody that one is a changed man, who has taken responsibility for all past actions, when one can’t even acknowledge the crimes committed?

How does one try and implicate a man whom one obviously has it in for and at that same time attempt to destroy the reputations of others who have nothing to do with that man?

How does one solve a problem like Michael Osborn?

For months now, Michael has been posting that I have had him convicted of a crime he did not commit.  Within those posts, he’s claimed that I was involved with jury tampering, but he has not offered a shred of proof to neither his readers, the court, the DA or the State Attorney general.

The Wizard Of Cons Is Back!Part 4: Mike and The Bus He Throws People Under

Mike is your best friend when he needs you or you are giving him money.  After he no longer finds you useful, watch out!

I’ll get to his financial conquests, at the destruction of others, later. For now, I want to focus on his more recent ruination of people’s lives.  In spite of Mike’s personal attacks on me, please do not count me amongst those people who have suffered at Mike’s hands.  Mike’s schemes over the years, have gained me financial benefits (and still do today) and credibility I probably would otherwise have never have received. Hundreds of grateful emails, phone calls and tear stained letters have been my reward.  Relationships with government law and regulatory authorities have blossomed because of my work on bringing Mike and Harold to justice.  Best of all, Mike is terrified of me and to what or whom it is he will have to answer for next.  It shows in his writing.

The Wizard Of Cons Is Back! Part 3: What Mike Says About Me

There were many Judgment Debtor Examinations scheduled for Mike with respect to the $405,000 judgment I have against him and Harold.  Thumbing his nose at the authority of the courts, he usually didn’t show up for these dates, which then resulted in arrest warrants being issued.  At one of the preliminary hearings on his criminal trial, Mike was arrested on one of these warrants and put in handcuffs by the bailiff right in the middle of the courtroom.  On one of those occasions that he actually did show up for an exam, I remember him saying what a bright sunny day it was.  I look at my lawyer and I said, “It must be cloudy and rainy out”.  That’s Mike in a nutshell.  If he says that he sky is blue, you can bet that it is red.

Mike is obsessed with his goal of validating himself by making me look like the bad guy.  His blog is full of claims of wrongdoing without any specifics or proof as to what it is that I or my alleged pseudo personalities are doing wrong.  He just says it over and over again in an attempt to brainwash the reader into believing that his statements are fact.  For example, not once has he told his two or three readers why my lawsuits are illegal, as he claims.  All he offers are opinions.  He may have complained to various authorities, as there are plenty of online forums to do that, but they must have brushed him aside like a pesky gnat because I have not received a single inquiry from any authority.  This in spite of the fact that Mike, through his blog, claims to have been reporting me to the SEC, the FBI, the DOJ and probably the NFL, looking for somebody, anybody to listen to his screams into the night.

The Wizard Of Cons Is Back! Part 2: Actually Getting To Know Mike Osborn

On February 16, 2012, in a continuing attempt to humanize himself, towards the goal of going back into the con business, Mike published an article entitled, “Getting to know Michael Osborn”.  I’m going to dissect it for you bit by bit.

“To say I have made my share of mistakes would be an understatement. At the ripe age of 41, I can say that I am finally at a place in my life where I am learning to live in peace.”

Made his share of mistakes?  Millions of dollars in bum checks, embezzlement of millions more, destroying the lives of retirees, stealing not one but two cars, lying under oath, taking advantage of relationship, being a dead-best Dad, etc., etc. are “mistakes”?   Mistakes are the results of poor judgment.  Your actions were not derived from poor judgment but from pre-mediated, deliberate and executed criminal activity.  Man up to it Mike and just call it what it is.

The Wizard Of Cons Is Back! Part 1: Mike’s Motivation

Hopefully, this several part series is the last time I post on this blog, although I may add to some parts of it as things occur to me.  There really is no sense to it anymore because everybody should be quite clear on who Michael is and what he does.  Harping on it does not make him any more of a criminal than he already is, was and always will be.  I have admittedly and proudly made Mike’s life a living hell by exposing his schemes over the years, that he designed, and successfully executed, to embezzle millions of dollars.  This blog has reportedly saved many more from being added to Mike’s victims list and will hopefully continue to protect many more.

It was my intent to avoid engaging him and his blog which freely admits that it is designed to be an attack on me.  Until now, I had always thought it was his way of “getting even” with me for my part in putting him in prison, where he served 13 months out of a 32 month sentence, for automobile theft, bank fraud and intent to defraud.   Except for illegally posting wrongfully obtained and doctored emails, credit reports, and other private information, I wasn’t particularly worried about his blog for two reasons: 1) because very few read it and 2) it is obvious to anyone capable of thinking on his/her own that it is the work of a paranoid, sociopathic crook.

I Get Emails: Here's My Favorite

I have received literally hundreds of emails over the years since I first published this blog, each with fascinating tales of Mike's progression as a con man.  Below is one of my favorites.  Click here, for a larger selection of a few of the classics. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Murphy [mailto:m-murphy@cox.net] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 11:56 AM To: blog@george-sharp.com Subject: Mike George I went to High School with Mike and was in a band with him in the late 80s and early 90s. He was one of my best friends but his behavior even back then got him into trouble with me and several others. Although he never actually stole anything of substance from me, he did one time steal a book of checks from a closed account of mine and write his first/last and deposit on it. I had to answer for that but I was easily off the hook. Last year I went to his step dad's memorial. I say step dad but Paul Ison raised him. Mike didn't have the decency to show up there either but I suspect it is becasue he ripped off more than one of his dad's friends. Knowing they would be there, he could not possibly show hisface. One of those people told me his story that day and let me tell you, the amount owed was substantial. The reason I found your blog is because I saw Mike's ex and daughter last night (we are still friends) and they told me about your efforts. Good luck to you. Mike needs to pay a price for what he has done to people and it looks like judgement may be near. Thanks Mark P.S. I do not mind if you use any of this information on your blog or elsewhere not that any of it is of legal consequence but it is certainly more crap about MIke.
