The Best FREE Computer Protection Advice Available By Rev. Don Abernathy

Tuesday is the day when most Windows based computers automatically load “patches” to fix programing problems or to close back doors. Some of the openings they close are discovered by hackers first, then attacked with their virus and malware programs. It seems like every time we turn around, another company is reporting how their system was hacked.

So what opened my eyes? A recent report from Avecto on Microsoft patches. Avecto is the leader in Windows privilege management, helping organizations to deploy secure and compliant desktops and servers. They safeguard over The first step in protecting your computer is to 60 government agencies, 4,000,000 end users make sure you always install the patches when including over 1,500,000 desktop computers in Fortune 100 companies.

If the hackers recently released a report analyzing all the 2013 didn’t know about the problem or potential programming breech before, they definitely know Microsoft patch updates. about it after they get the patch.

The second step is to change your user profile settings from administrator to standard user. This basically means as a user, you can not download and install programs but you can still use everything already installed. I was against this at first because I want control over my computer. But after investigating it a little more, I have changed my opinion and my computer

In simple terms, setting your profile to user rather than admin would have protected you from a significant number of assaults prior to the opening being found. No computer runs entirely on one software program. Regardless if you’re on an Apple or a PC, you still have software from hundred’s of companies running on your system.

Go to User Accounts in System Settings or Control Panel. Set up a new user as admin and set a secure password containing upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. This will be your new admin profile. Now select the user profile you normally use and change the settings from admin to standard. If you have problems finding the settings on your system, I suggest doing a Google search for changing user profile on the computer and operating system you use.

As part of the FBI’s National Digital Billboard Initiative, San Diego’s photo, summary of crimes, and the tip line 1-800-CALL-FBI will be featured on electronic billboards throughout California, as well as along the U.S.-Canada border in New York and Washington State. Billboards in Massachusetts, Oregon, Nevada, and Florida will also feature the San Diego spot. Over the past 10 years, the FBI has received numerous tips allegedly placing him in Novato, California; San Rafael, California; Santa Cruz, California; and Northampton, Massachusetts. Aside from the northern California region, he has overseas ties to Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Costa Rica, and Bolivia. If overseas, he may possess documentation allowing him residency but may not be fluent in a foreign language. On August 28, 2003, two bombs exploded approximately one hour apart on the campus of a biotechnology corporation in Emeryville, California. Then, on September 26, 2003, one bomb strapped with nails exploded at a nutritional products corporation in Pleasanton, California.

A federal arrest warrant was issued for San Diego in October 2003. In April 2009, he was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List, making him the first domestic terrorist placed on this list. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading directly to the arrest and prosecution of San Diego. The reward can be paid confidentially. San Diego, who was a California resident, was described in October 2003 as a white male with a light complexion, 6’0” tall, 160 pounds, brown hair, and brown eyes. He has several tattoos, to include a round image of burning hillsides in the center of his chest with the words “It only takes a spark” printed in a semicircle below; burning and collapsing buildings on the sides of his abdomen and back; and a single leafless tree rising from a road in the center of his lower back. These tattoos may have been removed, significantly altered, or covered with new tattoos. Because of the unique nature of the tattoos, San Diego may be reluctant to remove his shirt, even in situations where it is the norm. At the time of his disappearance, San Diego ate neither meat nor any food containing animal products. The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) assessed if he has maintained this

Four Charged in Fatal Shooting Spree That Took a 7-Year-Old Child

Several years of living as a wanted fugitive may have forced San Diego to engage in secretive behavior. BAU believes this deception may affect other areas of his life, to include being vague or contradictory about his past history, routinely using prepaid cell phones or calling cards or often changing his e-mail address.

Four alleged gang members charged with the murder of a 7-year-old boy and other crimes were arraigned Thursday February 27, 2014 in connection with a four-month shooting spree, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Billboards in Seven States to Feature Fugitive Daniel Andreas San Diego Beginning February 28, 2014, the FBI will be featuring local fugitive Daniel Andreas San Diego on multiple billboards in the U.S.

Here are the numbers so you can draw your own conclusion.

Because of his training in computer networking, San Diego may be known by those around him as someone to offer computer-related assistance. He may also be using his English language abilities to be teaching, translating, or being part of a service industry such as tourism overseas. He is also known to cook and bake vegan and vegetarian foods and to have an interest in sailing. He may be using these skills as a form of income, specifically for cash to avoid using banks, checks, and credit cards. San Diego should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspect is urged to contact their nearest FBI office or dial 911. The FBI can be reached 24 hours a day at 415-553-7400 in the San Francisco area. All calls are confidential. Tips can also be submitted at tips. fbi.gov.

Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes of the Hardcore Gang Division said Tradel Billy Faniel, 28, Paul Eugene Jamar Jr., 19, Danielle Tonano Peters, 31, and Windel Roman Faniel, 26, each face one count of murder with gang and gun allegations for the Dec. 2, 2013 fatal shooting of Taalib Pecantte, 7. The complaint includes a special circumstance allegation of multiple murders for Tradel Billy Faniel, who also is charged with the murder of 17-year-old Charles Hall on Sept. 1, 2013. A decision on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty or life in prison without parole for the defendant will be made at a later date. Tradel Faniel also is charged with five counts of attempted murder. Co-defendant Jamar Jr. additionally is charged with seven counts of attempted murder; Peters faces six counts of attempted murder; and Windel Faniel is charged with three counts of attempted murder. The 23 charges stem from a four-month shooting spree in the Mid-City area involving 12 victims between September and December 2013, the prosecutor said.

CRIME TIP:

Conversing with an Abuse Surviving Adult

by Bill Murray, Los Angeles .

Someone asked me recently to talk about how I’d advise the general public about what to say or not say to an adult that confides he or she was abused as a child. I think that would be very beneficial topic to our readers. A small number of children will disclose abuse while still young, about 10%, which means 90% of them enter adulthood still bearing the secret of the lonely pain and suffering they feel as a result of their damaged childhood. It’s important to know what to do if your acquaintance, friend or loved one tells you about the abusive experiences they endured. First of all, realize such a disclosure is a big deal, and a sign of trust to you from a person whose ability to trust may have been shattered years ago. I recommend you proceed with a certain delicacy and understanding that speaks to your seeing this bearing of a soul, the telling of sometimes deeply held secrets, as a rare honor, and one you appreciate.

March 5, 2014

If you’re worried about someone who is waiting for the elevator with you, don’t get on.

Disclosures can be direct or indirect. Most likely an initial disclosure will be indirect, which can mean your loved one does not share the details of the abuse without being prompted, or does so in a round-about way. An example of this is, “My childhood wasn’t exactly a happy time ..” A disclosure can also be disguised. For example: “I have heard many horrible stories of child abuse.” In other cases the disclosure can be through hints such as “Child abuse can cause such harm to a person ..” The individual may be hoping that a caring person will get the “hint” they are offering to talk about themselves. It is important to recognize these possible clues so that further disclosures are made. Most who reveal themselves want the many symptoms of their previously held secret to stop. Adult survivors of child abuse frequently sense themselves in victim hood, alone, ashamed, embarrassed and even guilt ridden (you can easily add to this list), and feel “broken.” They may well have become convinced that they will be judged harshly by anyone they reveal their stories to. Recognize it takes a lot of courage, and a leap of faith, for abused adults to talk about their past. Some will wait decades before arriving at the

Issue 14

What to say .. what not to say ..

conclusion that they should risk disclosing their secret .. theirs is a self-held pain and suffering. Never forget how frightening it is to risk telling someone about abuse. For you it’s hard to hear your loved one has been abused, and your initial reactions may be to not believe or show shock or horror. But try to avoid this. Stay calm, letting them continue to talk. Express understanding and show your support by acknowledging his or her courage in sharing. Let them reveal their story at their own pace. Try not to express too much indignation nor be too inquisitive at this point. Later your friend will reveal more, and often in more detail. A survivor responds better when asked to “describe” a story rather than being subjected to a lot of questions. Offer support in the form of describing your gratitude for having trusted you enough to have told their secrets, and assure them you’ll keep their confidence. By all means suggest they visit our web site, where all services / resources are offered free. A big part of our mission at NAASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse) is to offer a sense of hope to any individual who’s still suffering from the pain of childhood trauma. Our website at www.NAASCA.org is filled with

articles, resources and free services that deal with information on prevention and intervention for today’s group of at-risk kids and their caregivers, and with recovery resources for the adult who still suffers from the pain they first experienced in childhood.

We encourage you to follow and participate in our Internet-based Sunday night “Community Matters” This Week and our Monday through Friday “Stop Child Abuse Now” (SCAN) talk radio shows that feature special guests and topics related to child abuse and trauma.

Teen Advice Columnist:

Hi Jade, I have a question, how do you get rid of your depression yet stop pushing yourself down? Please reply, I really want to know how to stop or get of these things. Depressed

What does it take!

Anti Bullying Activist Jade Archer

Dear Jade, I have a friend who has been bullied before, has cut her wrists, and almost killed herself until she was thankfully stopped. She said that she almost forced herself to drink/take a medicine of some sort but someone walked into her room and took it away. I know she hasn’t cut in two months but the friends that know (including myself) are trying our best to help her and I just wanted to tell you. She doesn’t want us to tell any staff, so I was wondering if you have any advice. Thank you so much. A caring friend Hi caring friend, I am really sorry about your friend. The only advice I can give you is from my experience. You have to tell an adult like your counselor. If they don’t help, don’t give up and tell another. Keep telling adults until you find one that will help. Your friend is worth it.

guidance for the youth is as much of a healing process for me as it is for them. It doesn’t matter how many psychiatrists or therapy sessions I attend, I realized that my process to heal came from the ability to help another individual rise above their similar adversities. I’ve discovered, that every time I write my column and every time I come across a wounded person whom needs my type of help-appropriate; I gain a piece of my soul back.

A student asked, “Why did you change my life?” I stared at them for a minute or so, somewhat dazed by the question that caught me off guard...I finally responded with “Because I was given the chance to live the right way”! Honestly, I was shocked at my own response, because it was my first response to such a question!

Hi Depressed, Depression is really hard because there are different types. The best advice I can give you, because my mom went through that is talk to someone. Find out what it is that is making you depressed. Talk to your parents so they can find a solution before it gets to the point you let depression take over. The fact you are aware of it is the first step.

The interesting part of that day was the much needed interaction with that student. She intended for me to help her with snacks, but I became more effective on a much needed level for this kid. This student heard me discussing gang activities and graffiti on buildings at the center, he started telling me about how his family has been in and out of jail,that he would grow up to be from the same gang his dad was from. He looked at me and said, “All the girls will find me cute when I join dad’s gang!” Well I had to set him straight told him that when I grow up, more; I won’t find gang members cute at all! I urge ex-criminals and gang members to remember your existence before the lifestyle of gangs and crimes; help someone see the error of our ways. I’m

not a teacher by profession, but I am able to educate and inform others on a better way to live other than the downhill spiral of gangs and crimes. I’m not just able to help others, I live in the way that reflects my life of change. I help myself by helping others! What can you say to the generation today to help them live? What does it really take? It takes a choice, on your part, to help! Thoughts: May we all find the paths of righteousness through another’s eyes. How will we know the true works of our own lives, if we only look in the mirror to see righteousness! A moment is all it takes to help and a choice is what differentiates what change you are willing to do to change a person’s life!

Sexual Offender Fugitives Local Roller Rink Employee Arrested for Acting on his Foot Fetish with Children acts of lewd and lascivious conduct, a crime committed by touching a child somewhere on his/her body for sexual purposes. Flores was released after posting $150,000 bail and has pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted on both On December 22, 2013, 19-year-old counts, Flores faces a maximum of Christopher Julian Flores, a resident over 8 years in state prison. of Granada Hills, was arrested and “It was originally reported by the charged for attempted lewd acts family that this individual had on a minor under the age of 14, or asked their son to remove his socks and put his feet on the suspect’s face. Obviously, that was a concern. They investigated it,” said Cmdr. Andy Smith with the Los Angeles Police Department. By Rev. Don Abernathy

The LAPD’s Juvenile Division’s Sexually Exploited Child Unit (SECU) have arrested a man for acting on his foot fetish while working at a popular roller rink in Northridge.

Investigators said Flores admitted to doing this to about 200 boys at Skateland in the past year. Throughout the investigation, SECU detectives worked closely with management staff at Skateland in an attempt to identify other possible victims of Suspect Flores. Christopher Juan Flores

The management and staff of Northridge Skateland have been

extremely cooperative with authorities. Northridge Skateland owner, David Fleming, handed over surveillance video of Flores to investigators. Fleming said Flores had been employed there for abut 2 1/2 years but was immediately terminated upon his arrest. “We’re just happy to see that we can move on now and just assure everybody that Skateland is still a very, very safe place to be,” said Fleming. Fleming said in a statement that his family has been in the business for more than 50 years and that this is an isolated incident. “My brother Michael and I are former 9-year LAPD Reserve Officers so security and safety is a high priority. We are surprised and outraged that for the first time in the history of our rink one of our employees was being inappropriate with a customer by touching his feet,” the statement said. “With

close to 10,000 quality part-time employees having worked at Skateland since 1958, this one employee situation is an isolated incident. We have received just the one complaint which resulted in the arrest.” Fleming stated as an added precaution, surveillance cameras have been installed in all maintenance closets and secluded areas that were not already covered by security cameras. Northridge Skateland prides itself in being a safe family environment that allows parents to enter the rink area and watch their children skate for free. They have been pleasantly surprised by the volume of dedicated customers that have come forward in support of their family oriented venue.

responsible for that choice,” she said. In enacting the 1978 law granting civil immunity to social hosts and bars in most circumstances, the Legislature said its purpose was to reflect the concept that the consumption, and not the serving, of alcohol was the cause of any resulting injury. The exception that provides civil liability for people who sell alcohol to an obviously intoxicated minor originally applied only to licensed liquor sellers, such as bars. In 1986, the Legislature expanded the exception to apply to anyone who sells alcohol.

In yet another exception added in 2010, the Legislature established civil liability for “a parent, guardian or another adult who knowingly furnishes alcoholic beverages at his or her residence to a person under 21 years of age,” when injury or death results, regardless of whether the young person was visibly drunk when given alcohol. Monday’s decision has the effect of expanding that liability in two directions -- to underage hosts who charge admission fees and serve intoxicated minors at their residences, and to both adult and under-21 social hosts who collect fees and serve intoxicated young people at parties at facilities outside their homes.

Orange County D.A. Wants Top Court to Review Rulings Overturning Ban on Sex Offenders in Parks

By Penny Arevalo LosAlamitos-Sealbeach.patch.com via City News Service

Orange County prosecutors petitioned the state Supreme Court to review two appellate court rulings striking down a ban on registered sex offenders in the county’s parks and in more than a dozen of its cities.

“The people of the state of California respectfully petition this court to grant review of an important issue affecting every city and county in California,” Deputy District Attorney Brian Fitzpatrick wrote in his petition to the high court. “Cities and counties need to know whether they can act to protect children within their communities from the approximately 75,000 sex offenders living in the state.”

Costa Mesa City Council repealed its ordinance. “If the appellate court says it’s unconstitutional and you can’t do it, then we don’t want to do it,” Mayor Jim Righeimer told City News Service. “If they appeal and win, we can always come back to it, but we don’t want that thing hanging out there if it’s unconstitutional. … We don’t want it on our books.’’ The city was also named in a civil lawsuit challenging the ordinance. Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas’ office does not need the county board’s permission to seek a supreme court review, but at least three supervisors on the Orange County board have said they would rather let the appellate court’s rulings stand than spend more money on the legal battle.

Last month, a panel of Fourth District Court of Appeal justice struck down the county’s ordinance In the Irvine case, JeanPierre Cuong Nguyen’s and one in Irvine.

Two Men Ordered to Stand Trial for 1995 Killings By Penny Arévalo patch.com via City News Service

Two suspects, now 35, will stand trial for the 1995 killing of a 60-year-old pizza delivery man. Two men were ordered today to stand trial for the November 1995 killing of a pizza delivery driver in Long Beach during an attempted robbery. Superior Court Judge James Otto found sufficient evidence to require James Lemon and Venda Johnson, both now 35, to proceed to trial on one count each of murder and attempted robbery in the Nov. 22, 1995, killing of Renato Teniente. The 60-year-old victim had gone to the 2600 block of East 55th Way to deliver a pizza, and was found sitting in the driver's seat of his vehicle,

which was parked at the curb with the ignition running. The murder charge includes the special circumstance allegation of murder during the commission of an attempted robbery. Lemon and Johnson cannot face the death penalty because they were each 17 at the time of the alleged crime. The two were arrested last year. Johnson was serving a life murder sentence at Buena Vista State Prison in Colorado, and Lemon was arrested in Las Vegas, Nev., by an FBI task force, according to police. The two are due back in court in Long Beach on March 12 for arraignment.

ATM Safety & Security Tips from the LAPD The primary focus of the ATM Crime Prevention Program is user safety. Because of the variety of ATMs, the unique characteristics of each installation and crime considerations at each location, no single formula can guarantee the security of ATM customers. Therefore, it is necessary for ATM customers to consider the environment around each ATM and various procedures for remaining safe when using an ATM. Criminals select their victims and targets, focusing on the unaware or unprepared. Criminals are also drawn to environmental conditions that enhance the opportunity to successfully complete their crime. The attitude and demeanor you convey can have a tremendous effect on potential assailants. There are a number of things you can do to increase your personal security and reduce your risk of becoming an ATM crime victim. The following crime prevention tips can help make the use of ATM’s safer for everyone. • Walk purposefully with confidence. Give the appearance that you are totally aware of your surroundings • Be aware of your total environment and what is going on around you. Criminals tend to avoid people who have this type of demeanor • Perform mental exercises and think out what you would do in different crime or personal security situations

Considerations Prior To and During Transactions • Always watch for suspicious persons or activity around an ATM. Be aware of anyone sitting in a parked car in close proximity or at a distance from the ATM location • If you notice anything strange, leave and return some other time. Even if you have already started a transaction, cancel it and leave. • Maintain a small supply of deposit envelopes at home, in your car or office. Prepare all transaction paperwork prior to your arrival at the ATM site. This will minimize the amount of time spent at the ATM. • Maintain an awareness of your surroundings throughout the entire transaction. Do not become so involved with your transaction that you are not aware of changing conditions in the area. • Do not wear expensive jewelry or take other valuables to the ATM. This is an added incentive to an assailant. • If you get cash - put it away immediately. Do not stand at the ATM and count it. • Never accept offers of assistance with the ATM from strangers; ask the bank for help. • Never lend your ATM card to anyone; treat it as if it were cash or a credit card. • If you use a drive-up ATM, ascertain your vehicle doors and windows are locked. • During evening hours, consider taking a companion along, park close to the ATM in a welllighted area and lock your car. If the lights around the ATM are not working properly, do not use it.

• When leaving an ATM location, make sure you • Follow your instincts. If you feel you are in danger, are not being followed. If you are being followed, respond immediately. Remember that your personal drive immediately to a police, sheriff, fire station, safety is the first priority crowded area, well-lighted location or open business. Flash your lights and sound your horn to ATM Selection Considerations The law sets minimum standards for ATM lighting, bring attention to your situation. procedures for evaluating the safety of ATM’s and requires notices to ATM users outlining basic safety precautions for using ATM’s. Although ATM environmental design issues are covered in the law, there are other considerations that an ATM customer needs to consider prior to selecting and using an ATM. For example:

• Do not select an ATM at the corner of a building. Corners create a blind area in close proximity to the customer’s transaction. Select an ATM located near the center of a building. An ATM further from the corner reduces the element of surprise by an assailant and increases effective reaction time by the user.

• If you are involved in a confrontation and the attacker is armed with a weapon and demands your money or valuables, GIVE IT TO THE SUSPECT. Do not resist, property may be recovered later or replaced. Fraud Considerations • Memorize your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Do not write it down or keep it in your wallet or purse. Do not tell anyone else your PIN !!

Daniel Angel “Pelon” Arviso was a 19 year old Hispanic male from Wilmington. He worked as a truck inspector in the harbor where he gained the respect of his managers who promoted him to supervisor. Daniel deeply loved his big family of siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. They enjoyed playing basketball, building model cars and attending church. He gave a large portion of his paycheck to his single mother to help with the expenses of raising his younger siblings and tried to be a role model and father figure for them while raising his own daughter. Daniel was changing from a boy into man by embracing responsibility and working towards a bright future. He was caring, a joy to be around and is deeply missed by his family.

still wearing his reflective work vest. In the 1400 block of Blinn Ave., Daniel was approached and shot in the head 1 time by a member of East Side Pain, aka Ghost Town Bloods gang.

All the detectives need is 1 more piece of the puzzle to put the final nail in the coffin of the person responsible for Daniel’s murder.

Councilwoman Janice Hahn and the Los Angeles City Council issued a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this senseless murder. LAPD Detective Rodriguez said he has a considerable amount of circumstantial evidence all pointing to one member of the East Side Pain gang. All the detectives need is 1 more piece of the puzzle to put the final nail in the coffin of the person responsible for Daniel’s murder.

On Saturday, October 13, 2007 at approximately 11:25 pm, after finishing a full day of work, Daniel got a ride to his cousin’s birthday party at his Aunt’s house on Blinn Ave. in Wilmington. His ride dropped him off on the corner of Blinn Ave. and Pacific Coast Highway leaving Daniel to walk a couple of blocks while

His family heard the gun shot and went out front to make sure the children playing in the yard were safe. His cousin was attending medical school so she approached the body lying on curb to see if she could help before paramedics showed up. His face was covered with blood so she didn’t recognize her cousin until she saw his ID. Daniel was transported to UCLA-Harbor General where he died a few hours later. This loving family was robbed of a valuable member that day.

Ex-Soccer Coach Found Guilty for Molesting 15 Children A former American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) coach in Lancaster was found guilty February 27 of Renoir Vincent Valenti molesting 15 children, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami said a jury deliberated for four hours before finding 52-year-old Renoir Vincent Valenti guilty of five felony counts of continuous child abuse, four felony counts of lewd act upon a child, and four felony counts of procuring and offering false or forged instrument. Valenti was also convicted of six misdemeanor counts of child molesting, and one count of disobeying a court order. Valenti faces a 154-years-to-life sentence in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 18 in Department 17 of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Antelope Valley Branch. During a span of almost 17 years, Valenti, an AYSO coach who used numerous aliases, molested 14 boys, six of whom were soccer players he coached, and a young girl. The ages of Valenti’s victims ranged from 8 years old to 12 years old, Hatami added. The incidents occurred between 1995 and 2012, according to the prosecutor. The investigation into Valenti began in July 2012 when the mother of a 10-year-old boy said her son had been molested by the defendant. Judge Daviann Mitchell of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Antelope Valley Branch, presided over the 35-day trial. A total of 58 witnesses testified, including all of the victims.

A (Driver’s) License to Steal Corruption in a San Diego Motor Vehicle Office You could call this scam a license to steal, and it certainly was—until it all came crashing down on the corrupt state employees and their accomplices who were selling California driver’s licenses for cash.

school operator brokering multiple deals in the DMV parking lot.”

For at least three years, though, between 2009 and 2012, the scammers had a nearly seamless operation that netted a tidy profit.

Court records indicate that the group—which included Kuvan Piomari, who owned the U.S. Driving School in El Cajon; Jeffrey Bednarek, a DMV examiner who conducted driving tests; and three other DMV employees—took part in the long-running bribery conspiracy that produced hundreds of ill-gotten licenses.

Here’s how it worked: A man who owned a driving school let his students know that—for a price—he could guarantee them a license, even if they had already failed the driving test. Often they didn’t even have to take the test, thanks to the man’s connections at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office in El Cajon, California. Those willing to pay anywhere from $500 to $2,500 to corrupt DMV employees could get a license with no questions asked. The driving school catered mostly to Middle Eastern immigrants, and soon word of easy licenses in that community spread north to Los Angeles and beyond. “One guy flew in from Dallas, took a cab to the DMV office, paid for his license, and flew back to Dallas a few hours later,” said Special Agent Mike Peters, who investigated the case with Special Agent Kim George out of our San Diego Division. “It was so blatant,” Peters said, “that our surveillance showed the driving

“They had gotten away with it for so long,” added George, “that they were extremely confident and had no plans to stop.”

In exchange for bribes, Bednarek falsely entered passing scores for written and behind-the-wheel tests for applicants seeking regular and commercial driver’s licenses. He enlisted other DMV employees to falsify records as well. Bednarek produced more than 100 fraudulent driver’s permits, for which applicants paid a total of more than $50,000. Sometimes the corrupt DMV employees would issue multiple bogus licenses a day, George said. “They would leave work with $500 in cash in their pocket. That could be one day a week or two. They were doing very well.” When a new manager arrived at the El Cajon DMV office, however, “she instantly realized that something wasn’t right,” Peters said. The new manager alerted the DMV’s investigative arm, who in turn called the FBI.

Using undercover operatives and court-authorized surveillance and wiretaps, investigators quickly uncovered the scam. Some of the “candidates” who paid for licenses were bad drivers, George explained, “and some paid because they were just too lazy to take the test.” Peters added that some candidates had paid for commercial licenses that allowed them to drive tanker trucks. “That took things to a different level in terms of public safety,” he said. In all, 30 defendants have been charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and identification document fraud, and all have pled guilty. The case is ongoing (see sidebar). Bednarek is scheduled to be sentenced in April. Another DMV employee, Jim Bean, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in the scheme. “We hope this case sends a message,” Peters said. “This type of corruption will not be tolerated.” An Ongoing Case The investigation into widespread corruption and bribery at the El Cajon DMV office is still active. Anyone with information about corruption at the DMV is asked to contact the FBI at 1-877-NO-BRIBE (6627423), the DMV’s Investigations Branch-Office of Internal Affairs at (626) 851-0173, or submit a tip online.

Sacramento Man Pleads Guilty to Trafficking in Counterfeit Viagra and Cialis SACRAMENTO, CA—Rickey Lee Campbell, 60, of Sacramento, pleaded guilty Thursday February 21, 2014 to conspiracy to traffic in counterfeit goods, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced. This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Rodriguez is prosecuting the case. According to court documents, law enforcement received information about Viagra and Cialis being offered for sale through the Internet on Craigslist. Law enforcement later conducted controlled drug purchases of counterfeit Viagra from Campbell, who used the alias “Diamond Jim.” The residences of Campbell and his co-conspirator, Susan Yvonne Eversoll, 47, were later searched and more than 6,000 counterfeit tablets resembling Viagra and Cialis in shape, size, and color were found. Authorities also recovered computers and electronic devices the conspirators used to sell the counterfeit goods. Campbell is scheduled to be sentenced by United States District Judge Troy L. Nunley on May 8, 2014. Eversoll, who pleaded guilty to the conspiracy on December 5, 2013, is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Nunley on March 6, 2014. Each defendant faces up to 10 years in prison for their role in the conspiracy. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables

The Gangs of Los Angeles Part 2: Operation Save Our Streets The murders may be random and senseless—a drive-by shooting that kills an innocent bystander—or they may be targeted hits by individuals “putting in work” against rival gang members. Either way, officials estimate that more than half of all the homicides that occur in Los Angeles are gang related.

of overtime homicide detectives could work, which meant that some investigations were put at risk. The SOS initiative provided temporary federal funding to pay overtime costs along with investigative manpower and additional resources.

To address the problem, the FBI joined with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in establishing a gang homicide task force in 2010 called Save Our Streets (SOS). It was an idea born of necessity, and it has been extremely successful.

During the initial 90-day trial period of SOS in 2010, 27 homicide cases were cleared, a number that was “unheard of in such a short period of time,” Clark said. The following year, during the same 90-day period from July through September, SOS task force officers cleared 50 homicide cases.

“We’ve had a record number of homicide clearances because of the SOS effort,” said FBI Los Angeles Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Clark. The task force—which Clark proposed—focuses on murder investigations that are close to being solved but need an extra investigative push and other resources to result

“A host of things are being done in L.A. to contribute to the annual murder rate dropping to record lows,” Clark said, “and SOS is absolutely a part of that. We’ve cleared more than 200 cases since the program began, and that means we’ve sent more than 200 people to jail. SOS puts murderers behind bars.” “We have established a great partnership with the FBI,” Nalls said. “Agents work hand in hand with LAPD investigators, and cases get solved.” Today, the SOS Task Force has become a permanent part of the FBI’s anti-gang operations in Los Angeles, and Clark is able to assign task force officers to the city’s gang hot spots.

Special Agent Bob Scheerle, an SOS member, currently Twenty-seven homicide cases were cleared during the initial sits with his LAPD 90-day trial of Save Our Streets in 2010. counterparts in the police department’s Harbor office in indictments and arrests. in southern Los Angeles—a jurisdiction where there are seven major gangs, methamphetamine “Recognizing that there were a large number is the illicit drug of choice, and the majority of of unsolved gang-related homicides in L.A., murders are gang-related. we decided to pool our resources,” Clark said, “and have seasoned FBI investigators and LAPD Having agents and detectives sitting together, homicide detectives work together to solve working cases side by side, makes for a true cases.” partnership, Scheerle said, “and that helps solve more cases.” “The FBI offered us everything from personnel to laptops,” said Cheryl Nalls, a veteran LAPD “Those relationships are what make SOS work, detective who works in the Criminal Gang/ not just funding and equipment,” Clark added. Homicide Division in South Central L.A. “We “We are all working toward a common goal—to have a serious gang problem here,” she said, make the community a better place in which to adding that in 2010, lack of funds threatened live.” to imperil many gang-related homicide Nalls agrees. “SOS has been a win-win for investigations. everybody,” she said, “but most especially for the In that year, a city budget crisis forced community.” administrators to place a cap on the amount

A Model for Other Jurisdictions

Since the Save Our Streets Task Force was established nearly four years ago, the model has been tested in several other FBI divisions, according to Robert Clark, an assistant special agent in charge in our Los Angeles Division. “We had such success implementing SOS,” Clark recalled, “that people wanted to know how the partnership between the LAPD and the FBI produced such dramatic results in clearing unsolved homicides.” Clark and SOS members from the LAPD briefed executives at FBI Headquarters in Washington and helped several divisions set up trial SOS programs with their local police departments—in areas such as East St. Louis and San Juan, Puerto Rico—where gang crime is significant. “The SOS model will work with any type of crime,” Clark said. “It doesn’t have to be just homicides. San Juan targeted violent car jackings, and another jurisdiction addressed aggravated assaults because they were doing pretty good on their homicide clearances.” He added, “If you have good partnerships and relationships between organizations, the SOS model can work anywhere.”

Six Indicted in Fraud Cases Related to Telemarketing Operations That Solicited Millions to Fund Fake Movies LOS ANGELES—Four people were arrested Thursday, February 20, 2014 on federal fraud charges stemming from telemarketing operations that allegedly solicited investments in movies with false promises of high returns with little risk. The arrests are the result of two federal grand jury indictments unsealed this morning. The indictments charge a total of six defendants who allegedly participated in separate fund raising schemes related to bogus film projects. While one movie script was written, no movies were ever actually produced. The indictments allege that the defendants executed the schemes to defraud victims around the nation and collectively caused losses of several million dollars. The first case is contained in a 29-count indictment relating to two companies—Mutual Entertainment LLC and Film Shoot LLC. Four defendants related to this scheme are charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, attempted wire fraud, and making false statements. The defendants are: • Samuel Braslau, 53, of Mar Vista, an attorney and co-founder of the companies, who was arrested this morning; • Rand Jay Chortkoff, 64, of Encino, a cofounder of the companies, who was arrested this morning; • Stuart Rawitt, 47, of West Hollywood, a salesperson, who was arrested this morning; • Robert Matias, 50, of Granada Hills, a salesperson who is a fugitive. The three arrested this morning are expected to be arraigned this afternoon in United States District Court in Los Angeles. Also February 20, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil lawsuit that alleges Braslau, Chortkoff, and Rawiit defrauded investors. In the second case, the operators of another company—C22 in the San Fernando Valley— were named in a 19-count indictment that accuses them of mail fraud, wire fraud, and attempted wire fraud. The two named in an indictment focusing on a company known under several permutations of C22 are: • Mack Machen, 70, of Sunland, the president of C22, who has agreed to self-surrender and be arraigned this afternoon; and • Anthony David Millan, 37, of Chula Vista, the CEO of C22, who was arrested this morning and is expected to make his first court appearance this afternoon in United States District Court in Santa Ana. The first indictment focuses on the activities of a company called Mutual Entertainment LLC and later renamed Film Shoot LLC, which allegedly bilked investors in a motion picture called “Marcel” and later renamed “The Smuggler.”

percent of investor money would be used to produce the film, and that investors would be first in line to receive any revenue generated by the movie, according to the indictment, which states that the defendants also falsely claimed to have contracted with well-known actors to appear in “The Smuggler.” During the course of the Mutual Entertainment/ Film Shoot scheme, the defendants allegedly persuaded more than 60 investors across the nation to invest a total of $1.8 million in the movie that was never produced. In 2011, the Alabama Securities Commission filed an administrative order against the company and one of the defendants, concluding that the defendants in that action had failed to comply with many provisions of the Code of Alabama 1975 pertaining to the offer and sale of investments. As alleged in the indictment, following the issuance of this order, two other defendants changed the name of the company from Mutual Entertainment to Film Shoot, and the name of the movie from “Marcel” to “The Smuggler,” in an attempt to hide the Alabama Order from potential investors. The second indictment unsealed today focuses on C22 Capital, Inc. and C22 LLC, Inc. This indictment alleges that telemarketers for C22 fraudulently induced investments to fund a movie titled “Beyond the Mat.” According to the indictment, the C22 defendants and their telemarketers made cold calls to potential investors and told the victims that their money would be used to provide short-term “bridge loans.” Later, the defendants began soliciting money for investment in “Beyond the Mat.” The indictment alleges that the defendants issued promissory notes and promised returns of up to 13 percent per year. Approximately 80 victims were fraudulently induced to invest in C22, and during the course of the scheme they lost more than $3 million, according to the indictment. In late 2011, the California Department of Corporations issued a Desist and Refrain order the directed C22 LLC, Inc. to stop doing business due to its fraudulent practices. The indictment alleges that the defendants continued to conduct their business under a different name. An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The wire fraud and mail charges each carry a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. The criminal investigation is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The indictment alleges that the defendants raised money for the film through boiler room telemarketing operations. The telemarketers allegedly made fraudulent pitches to investors after first representing themselves to be independent “surveyors” from a national research firm. Victims were falsely told that 64

The charges stem from Love’s efforts in late 2012 and early 2013 to secretly infiltrate computer servers belonging to the Federal Reserve Bank, remove non-public information from those servers, and publicly disclose that information by posting it on certain websites. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said, “As alleged, Lauri Love

Fortunately, Love underestimated the level of sophistication and dedication maintained by the FBI Cyber Division to vigorously investigate and identify Love’s criminal hacking and identity theft. Cyber crime knows no boundaries and justice will not stop at international borders. The FBI is committed to working with private and public entities to stop computer intrusions and prevent hackers from harming victim companies and individuals. We thank the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for its assistance in this investigation.” According to the allegations in the indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:

Love and the other computer hackers communicated with each other by logging onto a restricted online chat room and sending messages to each other. As reflected in the chat room messages, in the months prior to the hack of the Federal Reserve servers, Love and the other hackers in the chat room were searching the Internet for computer servers that were running a particular software program (the “program”). Love and the other hackers were aware that the program contained a vulnerability that they could use to gain unauthorized access to those servers. In October 2012, Love determined that a certain one of the servers that was running the program belonged to the Federal Reserve. Thereafter,

Love used a particular hacking method called a SQL injection to exploit the vulnerability in the program and gain unauthorized access to certain Federal Reserve servers, including servers associated with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Love used his unauthorized access to locate and steal certain confidential information residing on the Federal Reserve servers, including the names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of users of the Federal Reserve computer system. Love then disseminated that information publicly by posting the information to a website that previously had been hacked and that he controlled. Love, of Suffolk, England, has been charged with one count of computer hacking, which carries a maximum term of 10 years in prison and one count of aggravated identity theft, which carries an additional sentence of two years in prison. The maximum potential sentences in this case are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational

purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge. Mr. Bharara praised the outstanding investigative efforts of the FBI. He also thanked the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for its assistance in this investigation. The case is being handled by the Office’s Complex Frauds Unit. The charges in the Indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

By Rev. Don Abernathy

Harvey told school officials she was resigning following the allegations.

Harvey, 21, of Newark, Del., was initially arrested Feb 15. when she elbowed a campus police officer at a homecoming dance after he asked her to clear out of a crowded hallway, police said. She was later jailed and charged with disorderly conduct.

“This has never happened before, and this is not a good first,” said Penn. “It’s embarrassing to the university, considering the leadership role she has.”

Three days later, during a bail review in court, a bailiff found a small amount of marijuana on her when she passed through security scanners, police said. She was cited for marijuana possession.

Harvey was released from custody upon signing a criminal citation.

WEEKLY YOUTH WRITING CONTEST WI N $50 CASH Doe sy way our ch il wit h w d have ord s? a

ya njo e hild ize? c r u pr d yo cash l u Wo $50

We want to encourage our youth to reflect on their scary or sad times while helping others by sharing their experiences. As adults, we deal with good and bad situations every day. But to children, a small situation can seem like the end of the world. Attention News is encouraging our youth to reflect on a situation, then share about how they worked through it. Nothing is worse than feeling alone because nobody understands you. By sharing their stories, other children will learn they are not alone with their sadness and fear. Criteria for writing contest: Open to any youth up to the age of 16

Story must be real

Length 100-300 words

Examples of sad or scary situations to a child could be: Moving to a new neighborhood Dealing with a bully or a friend being bullied Getting a bad grade on a test Child or a friend getting injured Speaking to an adult about an abusive situation Death of a family member, friend or pet Sibling “abandoning” them by going to college or moving out Starting a new school Favorite TV show ending • • • •

Each issue will have at least two $50 award winning essays. The child’s first name, age and city will only be printed with written permission from the parent. It’s our suggestion to the parents that the child be allowed to spend the award on something fun of their choice. Winning essays will be chosen by a group of independent judges from victims’ assistance groups, child abuse advocates, drug counselors, and school teachers.
