"Rowan Salter" really needs to understand that if this is a scam, he's going to be charged criminally and not just taken to court civilly.  I am personal friends with the General Counsel of one of the largest states, and my family is friends with the Attorney General of that state as well as its neighbor.  My father is also good friends with the Governor of that state, and a good number of the Senators and Congressman due to his business.  He's the CEO and largest individual shareholder of a private company that if public would be around 150 on the Fortune 500 list.  The bank "Rowan" deposited my check into just happens to supply the company with a credit line in excess of $1 billion dollars.  He is a partner in one of the largest private equity groups, and certainly the one that is most politically connected.  He has been involved in policy decisions in the Whitehouse, and he visits every few months.  The law firm I would consult to get a civil suit going has successfully defended him against a $1 billion dollar lawsuit.

I'm not bragging or anything like that, and I'm sure throwing around numbers in the billion dollar range comes off as unbelievable, especially considering the number of internet bullshitters out there.  At this point "Rowan" probably knows which customer I am from my past posts.  He can look my family and I up, and see everything I've just said is true.  I'm more than happy to verify all of those claims with concrete proof if anyone PMs me.  I'm a grown man, and I have nothing to do with my parents financially, but I have full access to their resources and connections. 

Since I know "Rowan" is monitoring this thread, I just want him to understand that I can have an immediate direct line of communication with the Attorney General of California and basically anyone else I would need to get in contact with.  This isn't something that would drag along - the investigation would be started much quicker than I imagine is normal.  If "Rowan" is scamming us, it would be very wise of him to shut his site down, and cut his losses.  Each individual lease would be another count of mail fraud.
