Fraudulent Activity Overview
Fraudulent Activity Overview
On January 7, Michael Jackson booked a private jet charter from Antigua to Turks & Caicos for himself and Charlene Bythewood. He confirmed payment via ACH transfer for $67,064.32, including an $8,000 deposit for potential late fees, which he explicitly agreed to via text. After the flight, an additional $1,225 in late fees was incurred, bringing the total balance to $68,289.32, which he also agreed to pay.
NSF Funds & False Claims
On January 10, our company received a notification from QuickBooks that Michael’s payment was reversed due to NSF. When confronted, Michael denied filing the dispute and falsely claimed that a bank transfer from his Antigua account to Bank of America had not yet posted. He repeatedly reassured us that the funds would be processed that day and that we had nothing to worry about.
Deliberate Stalling & Racial Threats
Over the next several days, multiple follow-ups were made by our team to secure payment. Instead of paying, Michael Jackson became increasingly hostile, making racially charged threats against our team. In one conversation, he called our team member a "White Cracker" and stated:
"Since Seth said what I did was a felony, I shall show Seth a nigga."This was a direct threat to our team member’s safety.
Fake Wire Transfer Submission
On January 12, Michael provided a fraudulent wire form, claiming he had submitted payment through his bank in Antigua and that the funds would be processed on January 13. Despite repeated follow-ups, no funds were ever received from January 13 through January 16. Each time, he falsely claimed the transfer was "on the way."
Final Legal Warning & Defiance
On January 17, we issued a final warning stating that legal action would be taken if payment was not received by the end of the day. Michael’s response was dismissive and included:
"No white dude gonna call me a felon." "I'm in the Caribbean, you have no legal jurisdiction." "I don’t need to answer to minimum wage workers, and you will be well served to remember that."
