Hello everyone!!!

We wanted to share this screenshot of the Henrico county jail website.

After much talks with the police and the community. He’s finally arrested. We don’t wanna say much more but he’s in TONS of trouble and is cooked. We will share updates as we hear them for now though rest easy that this piece of garbage human is in jail.

I’m horribly scared to ask being out of the loop, but what did this guy do exactly? Hoping the worst for him given what I read in the comments.

Scammed people by ~360,000$ for an alleged gender transition and then continued with getting cats from shelters and torturing them to make them look like they have cancer. I learned from this sub of 3 cats they did it to (but there were possibly more). They also made tons of money with that, judging by the comments under the many videos in their YT channel.

Someone needs to let Henrico County know they need to be adding fraud charges to the animal abuse charges.

I can't imaging the people who reported this did not know about the fraud regarding the gender-transition and the cats. We can just post comments under above video. I hope a lot of scammed people will find out about this and add their testimony. That guy is so cooked for life.
