TAMPA — A 35-year-old Tampa man was arrested and charged with 15 counts of possessing child pornography Wednesday, the result of a monthlong investigation into online child exploitation.
Alex Rodriguez of Crystal Harbour Drive in Tampa had more than 50 videos and images of children between the ages of 5 and 15 and "engaged in various sexual activities," according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Rodriguez was released from jail just after 4:30 a.m. Thursday after posting more than $100,000 bail, records show.
Deputies said Rodriguez admitted during questioning to having child pornography on his computer.
The Sheriff's Internet Predator Unit conducted a monthlong investigation before Wednesday's arrest.
Several additional computer items were also seized during the investigation, deputies said, and will be searched for further evidence.[Last modified: Jul 28, 2011 08:17 AM] Click here for reuse options! Copyright 2011 St. Petersburg TimesClick here to post a comment

Zander, I immediately thought the same. Don't be fooled by ididso. I didn't feel that your comment was not making fun of the the perp or victims, but rather a goofy public figure that is widely hated in the baseball fandom. I get it. ididso, Way to take charge. Please compile a list of story lines that ARE to be laughed at. Don't forget to cross-reference your list with other commentor-kings like "ServingHim", as he has certain rules as well. Or, if that seems like a lot of work, maybe you should be the first commentor on every story and dictate, in easy to read language, what jokes can and cannot be made about each story. Here, I'll give you a template: "Comment #1, ididso: I, ididso, hereby dictate that the following jokes can be made about this story:(provide punchlines). Futhermore, the following jokes must be avoided: (provide punchlines)." That way we can all be crystal clear as to what we can and cannot comment on.

Sorry. Don't believe these folks confess/ I believe they "confess". Son is this your computer? Yes. Is this child porn? Yes. Maybe the first time HE EVER SAW IT. It is planted ALL THE TIME JUST GOOGLE IT. Stop calling people guilty for no reason. Interesting the timing of THE CHILD PORN. Hasn't been one for awhile. You people should be a LOT MORE WORRIED ABOUT what they've planted on YOUR hard drive. If Christine Breen whose husband's partner is US ATTORNEY ROBERT ONEILL can threaten people with planting child porn on their computers THAT IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM. Grow UP.

I wuz robbed by the St. Petersburg Times.
Right there on the Dec. 12 front page was a story written with all the breathlessness of a scoop. Unfortunately (for the Times), it was a story that I had repeatedly penned for more than seven years.
I'm not upset with Susan Taylor Martin, the writer who perpetrated the offense. Her beat is the world, she's seldom in the Tampa Bay area, and she says she hadn't seen my Weekly Planet stories -- which were bona fide scoops.
But her editors and colleagues knew about my stories. I have talked with some of the Times folk about why they never picked up on the story. The repeated explanation, with a lot of hemming and hawing, was that the story wasn't important. Martin has proven the worth of my reports, so at least for that, thanks.
The question remains: Why didn't the Times (or the Tampa Tribune) do the story years ago?
And, I am soooooo amused at how the issue lays bare the Times' inability to admit that it sometimes goofs, in this case failing to give credit when credit is due. Presiding over that Cult of Infallibility and Inerrancy is Paul Tash, the latest member of the Times Elite Boys Club to rise to the top of the feudal heap they call management.
Here's the background: In early 1998, two federal prosecutors approached me. They told me how upset they were that Bobby O'Neill, the head of the criminal division at the U.S. Attorney's Office, co-owned a Hyde Park Irish bar, Four Green Fields.
The bar had hosted fundraisers for Sinn Fein, an Irish political party often said to have a "military wing," the murdering, bombing, bank-robbing Irish Republican Army. In fact, there are no "wings." The Irish justice minister a year ago exposed the fact that Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams, Martin McGuiness and Martin Ferris are on the IRA military council -- which destroys the make-believe that there is a firewall between the political party and the terrorists.
A third federal law enforcement officer later told me about O'Neill, so I figured this must be a hot bit of water cooler gossip at the U.S. Attorney's Office. I wrote a story. And another story. And another story. And another story. And many, many more stories.
The heart of the reports was that O'Neill was leading the prosecution against Sami Al-Arian, who was accused of raising money for, and praising the cause of, a terrorist group. Which is exactly what O'Neill's bar was doing. Heck, some of Four Green Fields' Sinn Fein shindigs featured that bold lad, terrorist-in-chief Gerry Adams.
Now, I've been an assignment editor at daily newspapers -- including the Tampa Tribune. That was back in the days of real journalism, when an editor who heard that a G-man in charge of prosecuting terrorists is also funneling cash to terrorists would have jumped from his seat, chomped his cigar and yelled: "Get me a reporter. No, dammit, get me a half-dozen reporters. This is a helluva story!"
But the Times and the Tribune ... well, they whistled Dixie. For years.
It was understandable for the Trib. The paper's Michael Fechter has been widely viewed as a public relations conduit for the feds' crusade against Al-Arian. The Tampa paper wasn't going to bite the hand -- even if shortchanging the public was the price.
But the Times? A very small part of the reason is that the bosses there don't like me much -- I've exposed more than a few blemishes in the paper's self-professed perfection. I guess professional vendetta overcame news judgment, and they let O'Neill alone.
A bigger factor is that the Times is as much in the business of giving cover to the U.S. Attorney's Office as the Trib. Despite some clear indications of misconduct among the prosecutors in several cases, the two daily newspapers, with all of their resources, have remained cheerleaders for the feds.
Even after the prosecutors lost a stunning defeat in the Al-Arian case -- a clear victory for civil liberties -- the faux liberal Times in an editorial castigated Al-Arian for what the paper depicted as an unworthy win. The Times editorial neglected to note the serious deficiencies in the government's case, other than benevolently stating the feds were good at connecting dots. (No, the feds never had a case.)
Noteworthy, the Times chided Al-Arian for his angry words from more than a decade ago -- but the paper somehow has missed the same sort of hateful language that emanates from the Irish bar owned by O'Neill. Substitute "Brits" for "Israelis" and Al-Arian's words are almost identical to the songs and slogans at Four Green Fields.
Like I said, the Times can't claim it didn't know about what goes on at the tavern. Heck, Martin's editor, Bill Duryea, has even written on the IRA bashes at Four Green Fields (although not about O'Neill's complicity).
Three years after my reports began, the Times did once mention -- 29 paragraphs into a happy-news puff piece on Four Green Fields -- that O'Neill owned part of the bar. However, there were no tough questions for the barkeep of a tavern popular with many Times scribes. O'Neill was allowed to claim the bar wasn't "pro-IRA," which would have been belied by even a casual look at the hate-Britain posters on the walls, some of which recruited support for Sinn Fein. Al-Arian, of course, was accused of providing similar boosterism for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Martin's Dec. 12 story was pretty good, although she got a few things wrong. (Martin apparently didn't know -- maybe her bosses intentionally didn't tell her -- that O'Neill had been Al-Arian's Torquemada for years. Martin described him in the story as remote from the case.)
"All my reporting on this was independently done and any records cited were verified by Bill Adair, our Washington bureau chief, going to the Justice Department and looking at them himself," Martin said in response to a gripe I e-mailed her.
Martin did become aware of my work three days before her story was printed. The U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman, Steve Cole, in a backhanded compliment, told her that the Planet and "disgruntled (federal) employees" were keeping the story alive.
The Times didn't mention my many, many stories, and the newspaper should have. This is an era when words such as "ethics" and "transparency" dominate newsrooms. The Times is owned by a journalism school and think-tank, the Poynter Institute, that champions ethics. Not giving credit to another journal's investigation is, well, just plain unethical. Sort of like mentioning Watergate without nodding at the Washington Post.
Here's where we get to a second story. Martin impugned my stories on O'Neill because I used "anonymous" sources. The Times has a policy against anonymous sources.
The truth is that the paper does use such sources. It just deceives the readers about them.
I'd prefer to name all of my sources -- but people fear retaliation. Both the Times and the government can be very vindictive. I do tell readers when I'm citing Mr. Anonymous, and I describe the source as fully as possible.
In comparison, last June, the Times reported: "[C]ontroversial federal prosecutor Jeffrey Del Fuoco is out of a job." The Times didn't say how it knew that -- it used what we hacks call the "voice of God," which is a cheap, dishonest way of not telling the readers that an anonymous source, one in this case with a political agenda, was behind the story.
The newspaper, as it turned out, was dead wrong. (Two months later, del Fuoco did quit.)
The Times ran a correction on the June account -- but it was as mendacious as the story. The correction acknowledged that del Fuoco wasn't fired -- but never told you how the newspaper so badly screwed up. It's that Tash Cult of Denial.
So, I'll stick with my sources, anonymous when necessary. And the next time the Times needs help with a scoop, give me a call. Maybe you'll get all of the facts right.

Robert o'Neill is not only FULLY AWARE of this behavior of the Breen family, he is WHOLLY COMPLICIT. I have proof. Robert should be facing RICO charges and every case (including the Tomato King in Califo) he has been involved with should be investigated. Robert should be in prison. Truth in justice files dot blogspot dot com. jpscanlan dot com. Robert is a lowlife stalker who let gotti off the hook, as well.
.Posted by knowwhereyoustand.standthere on July 25, 2011 at 2:14 PM | Report this comment . Mr. Sugg, What Ms. Martin highlighted which everyone else missed is the behavior and character of mcmansion owner nee paperhanger, Colin Breen, Robert O'Neill's partner. Colin and his wife Christine and their daughter Katie actively run a drug krewe with many others in their STampa hood. Check out Richard Scott Gonzales and the folks on "mistic" point. As well, Christine Decamp Breen and daughter are stalkers who infiltrate families and destroy them. It's possible Christine is related to David DeCamp @ ST Pete Times. i have asked him directly receiving no reply but they did disable my username promptly. People are mistaken about the st pete times. it is NOT liberal but merely a propaganda rag for the I>R.A. and other criminal factions in tampa. as should be evident at this point. thank you.

Now, I've been an assignment editor at daily newspapers -- including the Tampa Tribune. That was back in the days of real journalism, when an editor who heard that a G-man in charge of prosecuting terrorists is also funneling cash to terrorists would have jumped from his seat, chomped his cigar and yelled: "Get me a reporter. No, dammit, get me a half-dozen reporters. This is a helluva story!"
But the Times and the Tribune ... well, they whistled Dixie. For years.
It was understandable for the Trib. The paper's Michael Fechter has been widely viewed as a public relations conduit for the feds' crusade against Al-Arian. The Tampa paper wasn't going to bite the hand -- even if shortchanging the public was the price.
But the Times? A very small part of the reason is that the bosses there don't like me much -- I've exposed more than a few blemishes in the paper's self-professed perfection. I guess professional vendetta overcame news judgment, and they let O'Neill alone.
A bigger factor is that the Times is as much in the business of giving cover to the U.S. Attorney's Office as the Trib. Despite some clear indications of misconduct among the prosecutors in several cases, the two daily newspapers, with all of their resources, have remained cheerleaders for the feds.
Even after the prosecutors lost a stunning defeat in the Al-Arian case -- a clear victory for civil liberties -- the faux liberal Times in an editorial castigated Al-Arian for what the paper depicted as an unworthy win. The Times editorial neglected to note the serious deficiencies in the government's case, other than benevolently stating the feds were good at connecting dots. (No, the feds never had a case.)
Noteworthy, the Times chided Al-Arian for his angry words from more than a decade ago -- but the paper somehow has missed the same sort of hateful language that emanates from the Irish bar owned by O'Neill. Substitute "Brits" for "Israelis" and Al-Arian's words are almost identical to the songs and slogans at Four Green Fields.
Like I said, the Times can't claim it didn't know about what goes on at the tavern. Heck, Martin's editor, Bill Duryea, has even written on the IRA bashes at Four Green Fields (although not about O'Neill's complicity).
Three years after my reports began, the Times did once mention -- 29 paragraphs into a happy-news puff piece on Four Green Fields -- that O'Neill owned part of the bar. However, there were no tough questions for the barkeep of a tavern popular with many Times scribes. O'Neill was allowed to claim the bar wasn't "pro-IRA," which would have been belied by even a casual look at the hate-Britain posters on the walls, some of which recruited support for Sinn Fein. Al-Arian, of course, was accused of providing similar boosterism for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Martin's Dec. 12 story was pretty good, although she got a few things wrong. (Martin apparently didn't know -- maybe her bosses intentionally didn't tell her -- that O'Neill had been Al-Arian's Torquemada for years. Martin described him in the story as remote from the case.)
"All my reporting on this was independently done and any records cited were verified by Bill Adair, our Washington bureau chief, going to the Justice Department and looking at them himself," Martin said in response to a gripe I e-mailed her.
Martin did become aware of my work three days before her story was printed. The U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman, Steve Cole, in a backhanded compliment, told her that the Planet and "disgruntled (federal) employees" were keeping the story alive.
The Times didn't mention my many, many stories, and the newspaper should have. This is an era when words such as "ethics" and "transparency" dominate newsrooms. The Times is owned by a journalism school and think-tank, the Poynter Institute, that champions ethics. Not giving credit to another journal's investigation is, well, just plain unethical. Sort of like mentioning Watergate without nodding at the Washington Post.
Here's where we get to a second story. Martin impugned my stories on O'Neill because I used "anonymous" sources. The Times has a policy against anonymous sources.
The truth is that the paper does use such sources. It just deceives the readers about them.
I'd prefer to name all of my sources -- but people fear retaliation. Both the Times and the government can be very vindictive. I do tell readers when I'm citing Mr. Anonymous, and I describe the source as fully as possible.
In comparison, last June, the Times reported: "[C]ontroversial federal prosecutor Jeffrey Del Fuoco is out of a job." The Times didn't say how it knew that -- it used what we hacks call the "voice of God," which is a cheap, dishonest way of not telling the readers that an anonymous source, one in this case with a political agenda, was behind the story.
The newspaper, as it turned out, was dead wrong. (Two months later, del Fuoco did quit.)
The Times ran a correction on the June account -- but it was as mendacious as the story. The correction acknowledged that del Fuoco wasn't fired -- but never told you how the newspaper so badly screwed up. It's that Tash Cult of Denial.
So, I'll stick with my sources, anonymous when necessary. And the next time the Times needs help with a scoop, give me a call. Maybe you'll get all of the facts right.

Robert o'Neill is not only FULLY AWARE of this behavior of the Breen family, he is WHOLLY COMPLICIT. I have proof. Robert should be facing RICO charges and every case (including the Tomato King in Califo) he has been involved with should be investigated. Robert should be in prison. Truth in justice files dot blogspot dot com. jpscanlan dot com. Robert is a lowlife stalker who let gotti off the hook, as well.
.Posted by knowwhereyoustand.standthere on July 25, 2011 at 2:14 PM | Report this comment . Mr. Sugg, What Ms. Martin highlighted which everyone else missed is the behavior and character of mcmansion owner nee paperhanger, Colin Breen, Robert O'Neill's partner. Colin and his wife Christine and their daughter Katie actively run a drug krewe with many others in their STampa hood. Check out Richard Scott Gonzales and the folks on "mistic" point. As well, Christine Decamp Breen and daughter are stalkers who infiltrate families and destroy them. It's possible Christine is related to David DeCamp @ ST Pete Times. i have asked him directly receiving no reply but they did disable my username promptly. People are mistaken about the st pete times. it is NOT liberal but merely a propaganda rag for the I>R.A. and other criminal factions in tampa. as should be evident at this point. thank you.

COLLECTIONSI.R.A. Shifts Tactics, and the Results Are Deadly

''The I.R.A. has shown its ability to sustain itself and that it can still mount successful military operations to keep the pressure on the British,'' said Brendan O'Leary, a lecturer in government at the London School of Economics, who has studied the guerrilla movement. ''This also demonstrates that the I.R.A. has weathered the storm of the Anglo-Irish Agreement.'' Effect on Public Opinion
British troops, rather than members of locally recruited security forces, are the preferred targets for the I.R.A. largely because they are the most visible sign of the British presence in Northern Ireland and such killings have the greatest effect on British public opinion. ''One dead British soldier is worth four dead Royal Ulster Constabulary men,'' an I.R.A. official said recently, referring to the Northern Ireland police force.
Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, the political arm of the I.R.A., calls violence the ''cutting edge'' of what his movement regards as a struggle for ''national self-determination.'' In an interview last month with The Sunday Tribune, a Dublin newspaper, he said ''there is a very widespread tolerance of actions against the British Army,'' so assaults on British troops are ''not only the right thing to do but also the clever thing to do.''
The I.R.A. has achieved its goal of killing British troops with the help of ample supplies of hard-to-detect plastic explosives and a strategy of going after the soldiers when they are off-duty. Of the 27 British troops killed this year, 20 were off duty when they were attacked.
Charges of Libya Connection
The plastic explosive used in most of the recent bomb attacks - Semtex, a Czechoslovak-made variety - has been given to the I.R.A. by Libya, according to British intelligence reports. Libya has also been responsible for increased shipments of other weapons including mortar shells, automatic rifles and even anti-aircraft missiles. Tripoli's generosity toward the I.R.A. reportedly began in earnest in 1986, shortly after the Thatcher Government permitted the United States to use air bases in Britain for the raid on Libya.
According to British intelligence reports, the I.R.A. has a core of 250 to 300 trained regulars in the province, with perhaps no more than 60 of them actively engaged in planning and operations at any one time. The guerrillas are typically part of the decentralized local units of 6 to 12 members.
The I.R.A. central command, the seven-member Army Council, is based in Dublin, and movement by I.R.A. members back and forth across the border is common.
Beyond the core group, there are an estimated 2,000 active sympathizers, mostly in the Catholic urban slums and among some poorer Catholic farmers, who provide ''safe houses'' for the I.R.A. and gather intelligence. For example, it is believed to be I.R.A. sympathizers at or near Aldergrove airport in Belfast who spotted the British soldiers arriving last weekend and passed on that information to the bomber.
The I.R.A. spends an estimated $2.2 million a year on operations and on weekly payments of about $34 to I.R.A. members and the families of prisoners. Some of the funds, though less in recent years, come from American donations. But most are generated from illegal activities and legitimate businesses the I.R.A. controls like drinking clubs, taxicabs, extortion rackets and robberies, British security officials say

IRA look and smell more LIKE PUSSIES TO ME
That's NOT mental strength.
It's CULT ACTIVITY.
The Guerrilla / The VolunteerThe 1977 edition of the Green Book is very much focused on the mental strength of the volunteer. The manual is eager to draw a clear distinction between volunteer and his enemy:
(ACTUALLY THIS IS TRUE OF THE IRA SLAVE YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS)
"A member of the I.R.A. is such by his own choice, his convictions being the only factor which compels him to volunteer, his objectives the political freedom and social and economic justice for his people. Apart from the few minutes in the career of the average Brit that he comes under attack, the Brit has no freedom or personal initiative. He is told when to sleep, where to sleep, when to get up, where to spend his free time etc."
In the 1977 edition the term Guerrilla is dropped in favour of "volunteer", the new edition also stresses that this volunteer is part of a movement with common aims and objectives. From the PIRA's point of view this would have been necessary to combating competing interpretations encountered in the community and the propaganda efforts of the enemy it faced:
"Before we go on the offensive politically or militarily we take the greatest defensive precautions possible to ensure success, e.g. we do not advocate a United Ireland without being able to justify our right to such a state as opposed to partition; we do not employ revolutionary violence as our means without being able to illustrate that we have no recourse to any other means. Or in more everyday simple terms: we do not claim that we are going to escalate the war if we cannot do just that; we do not mount an operation without first having ensured that we have taken the necessary defensive precautions of accurate intelligence, security, that weapons are in proper working order with proper ammunition and that the volunteers involved know how to handle interrogations in the event of their capture etc, and of course that the operation itself enhances rather than alienates our supporters."
The 1956 edition on the other hand stresses the physical aspects of IRA operations:
"Outside of the support he [the Guerrilla] gets from the people among whom he operates-and this support must never be underestimated for it is vital to his eventual success-he fights alone. He is part of an independent formation that is in effect an army by itself. He must be self-contained. If necessary he must act alone and fight alone with the weapons at his disposal- and these very often will not be of the best. He must find his own supplies. His endurance has to be great: and for this he needs a fit body and an alert mind. Above all he must know what he is fighting for- and why."

Hope Thomas was a yoga instructor with a 1 1/2-year-old son and a $400,000 inheritance when she met Alexander Wright shortly after his release from federal prison in 2005. Wright was an accomplished con man whose previous targets included banks and the U.S. government.
It was a relationship destined to end badly. Today, Thomas, who invested and lost most of her money with Wright in what was supposed to be a 10-day loan, isn't sure how she will pay the bills for herself and her young son, Noah. Local prosecutors decided not to file charges in her case because it was a loan.
But Thomas is just one of many who say they've been conned by Wright who was involved in everything from land deals to a Key West restaurant to, most recently, an Indialantic construction company, Southern Building Systems, according to county and state records. He also has a criminal record stretching back to 1979. It includes:
•A 10-year sentence in federal court in Georgia in 1986 for his part in a check-kiting ring that preyed on banks in three states. Wright served two years and seven months before being paroled.
•An indictment in August in U.S. District Court in Orlando on 42 counts of bank fraud for allegedly scamming Brevard County banks out of more than $1.5 million in another check-kiting scheme. He was released on bond later that month and is next due in court Nov. 16.
•Allegations in federal court records in Orlando that he ran a Ponzi scheme that bilked local professionals out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Thomas, who spent Thanksgiving and Christmas last year with Wright, said she had trouble believing that the friend who talked about making her a beneficiary of his life insurance policy would take the money she had counted on to guarantee her son's financial future.
"I thought he might have this history . . . but he wouldn't steal from Noah," said Thomas who met Wright through a friend. "No way. He wouldn't take all of Noah's money."
Her disbelief is echoed by Wright's other investors and associates, who said they liked the gregarious man who charmed his way into investors' lives and portfolios with flowers and financial advice. Wright, who uses a wheelchair, seemed to have overcome the traffic accident that left him partially paralyzed at age 16.
Not everyone is surprised.
"I never saw so many angry people," said Nancy Harrington, who briefly worked as a receptionist for Wright's company last summer. "All day long, the only calls I got were disgruntled: 'Where is my money?' It was embarrassing to even work there. One time a woman came in so upset that everyone ran in their offices and locked their doors."
Wright has lived in a duplex owned by his brother since his release from the Orange County Jail on the check-kiting indictment. Another man answered the door recently, and Wright rolled up in his wheelchair before rebuffing a FLORIDA TODAY reporter's questions. He smiled.
"Have a good day," Wright said before slamming the door.
Brevard beginnings
The last day that Wright, now 50, would be able to walk was July 28, 1973, same day as the launch of the Skylab II space mission. As friends tell it, he was driving on the Melbourne causeway when he went off the road and hit an Australian pine. Four days earlier, he had been cited for driving while intoxicated, state records show.
Wright lived with his widowed mother. And a former classmate remembers Wright hosting parties at the house. His father, Andrew, who had been a lieutenant colonel at Patrick Air Force Base, died in 1972.
Interesting. We're almost related I too have a history with the brass at Patrick. Colin.
"He was a wild child," high school classmate Lynn Lorusso remembered of Wright.
The accident fractured Wright's spine, paralyzing him from the chest down. Friends visited him in the hospital where he talked about recovering and becoming a lawyer someday.
Wright resumed his studies at Melbourne High in 1974, but the district doesn't have any record of his graduation. The closest Wright came to practicing law was writing motions representing himself in at least one of his own criminal cases.
He did not succeed at it. Wright served time for weapons possession and conspiracy to commit bank fraud in the 1980s in Georgia.
Later, he started a construction company called A.W. & Associates in Florida and used it to bilk the U.S. Air Force and subcontractors out of more than $490,000 in a $4.2 million contract at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa in 1992 and 1993, court records show.
He later lied about his assets when the company went bankrupt, according to court records. Wright was convicted in Panama City in 1995 of concealing assets from bankruptcy court and later pleaded guilty to mail fraud and money laundering in Tampa. He was sentenced to 45 months and 13 days.
In the middle of his Florida criminal cases, Wright moved to Oregon where he bought half-ownership in a small wheelchair company that he helped run even after he was sent to prison on the Florida charges.
The company sold elevator lifts to handicapped customers and churches but never delivered them, and at least $11 million was missing or owed to creditors, according to reports in The (Portland) Oregonian, which cited judgments, tax liens and police estimates.
COLIN WHAT A FUCKING SCUMBAG. I thought YOU were a scumbag but this motherfucker IS YOU ON STEROIDS. Like bobby.
During his involvement with the company, Wright was freed from prison and violated the terms of his release by leaving Oregon without permission and running up bills in the thousands to take chartered jets to Las Vegas, California and Florida, according to court records.
From Oregon, Wright moved to Pennsylvania in 2001. There, he persuaded others to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars with him -- in what they thought was the stock market -- before Wright fled town in a limousine, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
His most recent stint in U.S. prison was a 14-month sentence for violating his supervised release from the federal cases in Florida.
"He's been doing this for a long time," said Timothy Knapp, the Pennsylvania state trooper who arrested Wright. "He's not a rookie."
Regardless of who was behind it, the check-kiting scheme described in the August indictment would have required skill and sophistication.
Bank-fraud indictment
The brochures for Florida Business Bank tout it as "Brevard's only business bank for solutions that mean business." The bank's single branch, near the banks of the Indian River in Melbourne, ranked 15th among Brevard County's commercial banks this year with about $115 million in deposits.
In 60 days, from March 27 to May 25, Wright deposited $7.86 million in bad checks at the bank, ultimately costing the bank more than $1.3 million, court documents show. The amounts don't match up, as they usually don't in check-kiting scams, as Wright allegedly deposited bad checks among accounts to try to keep the kite going as long as possible. Bank of America, another bank where Wright had accounts, lost about $227,000, according to court records.
A Florida Business Bank account at the center of the check-kiting scheme was set up in the name of Southern Building Systems. The federal indictment also lists an account set up in the name of MBA Investment Group.
Wright deposited about $5.3 million in the SBS account, checks that were worthless because stop-payment orders were issued on them, court documents show. Wright allegedly took advantage of the "float time" between when the checks were deposited and when Florida Business Bank learned of the stop-payment orders. In the interim, Wright fraudulently wrote checks and made wire transfers, the indictment says.
The money appears to have gone to pay off past problems, court records show. The wire transfers from the SBS account include $200,000 for a margin trading account in the name of Andrew Wright, Wright's older brother, at a commodities futures broker. The account had monthly losses as high as $317,462, according to court records. Andrew Wright also initially was charged in the check-kiting scheme, but charges against him have been dropped.A $280,000 wire transfer from an MBA Investment Group account at Florida Business Bank went to a bank in Uniontown, Pa., where most of it apparently was applied to court-ordered restitution to a Uniontown man.
Brevard County investor Mike Russell said he had warned Florida Business Bank President Daryl Bishop about Wright in March, about the time that the alleged check kiting started, after he talked with one of Wright's previous investors. He said he asked Bishop if the bank had done a criminal background check on Wright.
"I said, 'I'm not going to do business with the Wright brothers. . . . For me, they're the wrong people,'" Russell said. "He said that wasn't their normal operation or procedure. I said, 'Well, just beware.' "
Bishop wouldn't comment about Wright. Bill Koehne, the chief operating officer of Florida Business Bank, said the bank has changed its procedures because of the check-kiting scheme but wouldn't say how.
"The kite did not affect us financially," Koehne said.
New connections
Despite Wright's past, he was able to charm his way into new connections when he got out of prison and returned to his hometown. And he solicited unwitting investors into what court documents call "a suspected Ponzi scheme."
Realtor Diane McConnell loaned Alexander and Andrew Wright $200,000 in 2006. Orthopedic surgeon Jeffrey O'Brien loaned Alexander Wright $100,000 for two months.
"When you're in the throes of investing with him, you don't even think about it," McConnell said. "It's only afterwards you say, 'How could I have done this?' "
Hope Thomas, the ripped-off mother from Satellite Beach who met Wright through a friend, had inherited her money after her parents died in a plane crash in 1974 when she was 2. Wright took her to Key West and baby-sat her son.
"He was always talking about the future, what's the best to do with your future for Noah," Thomas said.
She bought a lot in Indialantic from a company connected to Wright's brother and hired Southern Building Systems to build a new house where she planned to live with her son.
In December, Wright persuaded her to loan him $400,000 from the Merrill Lynch account holding her inheritance. The loan was to be for ten days, but Wright persuaded her to let him keep the money for longer and pay her $20,000 a month. She also had loaned him $150,000 from the sale of a house to invest in the stock market.
Wright still was making payments to Thomas when her roommate told her to "Google" Wright's name online. Newspaper articles detailing his scams came up. In May, checks from Wright started to bounce.
Today, Thomas' two-story yellow house in Indialantic stands unfinished. Contractors have filed liens against Thomas for unpaid bills, including one by Southern Building Systems, Wright's company, for $44,100.
In July, Thomas, who is pregnant, lost one of the twins she was carrying, something she blames on stress. Wright sent her $50 worth of flowers with a card saying he was sorry for her loss.
At first, she was puzzled by the bouquet. "Loss? What does he mean?" Thomas said. "Sorry you lost all your money?"
The florist, Vicki Lichti at Petals Flower & Gift Shoppe, said Wright hasn't paid for the flowers.

Hope Thomas was a yoga instructor with a 1 1/2-year-old son and a $400,000 inheritance when she met Alexander Wright shortly after his release from federal prison in 2005. Wright was an accomplished con man whose previous targets included banks and the U.S. government.
It was a relationship destined to end badly. Today, Thomas, who invested and lost most of her money with Wright in what was supposed to be a 10-day loan, isn't sure how she will pay the bills for herself and her young son, Noah. Local prosecutors decided not to file charges in her case because it was a loan.

Medical examiner: Randy "Macho Man" Savage died of heart disease
By Curtis Krueger and Luis Perez, Times Staff Writers
In Print: Friday, July 1, 2011
LARGO — Authorities have determined that former wrestling star Randy "Macho Man" Savage died of heart disease.
Savage, 58, whose real name was Randy Poffo, became unresponsive while driving his Jeep Wrangler in Seminole on May 20.
After crossing a median on Park Boulevard, the Jeep jumped a curb and crashed head-on into a tree. Savage was taken to Largo Medical Center and pronounced dead.
His wife, Barbara Poffo, a passenger in the Jeep, suffered minor injuries. Both were wearing seat belts, authorities said.
An autopsy by the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office revealed that Savage had an enlarged heart with severe atherosclerosis of his coronary arteries and more than 90 percent blockage. The cause of death was determined to be atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or heart disease. The manner of death was determined to be natural.
Savage may not have known that he had heart disease, said Bill Pellan, director of investigations for the Medical Examiner's Office. There was no evidence that he was taking heart medication.
The four-page autopsy report showed he suffered only minor scrapes and bruising from the crash. But it also documented markings on the 255-pound, 6-foot-2 former wrestler's body that spoke of a life in the ring: a trail of tiny scars from his scalp and forehead to his chest, arms and legs. The report also noted "mildly deformed" knuckles.
As is routine, the Medical Examiner's Office tested Savage for evidence of drugs or alcohol. At the time of his death, he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.031, below the level at which the law presumes that someone is impaired.
Savage also had the painkiller hydrocodone in his blood. Pellan said Savage had a prescription for it and that the amount found in his blood was a "therapeutic level" that did not suggest abuse.

Randy seemed to be a good guy and not one of the flakes and bums that can work in that type of entertainment. Randy might even have wanted a little good - like keeping our young athletes of of steroids - to come from his premature death.
No one can bring Randy back - but maybe if one kid gets off his next cycle and stays off - or even better never starts - then something good happened out of a lot of loss and pain.

BobbyOFromDABronx Jul 1, 2011 2:11 AM Less than a minute ago My sister died the same way. I personally believe it was the result of toxins applied to her car and/or to her car engine or radiator. In my car and only in my car and only when it has been left alone unobserved do I and others experience shortness of breath and sometimes anger. You have to open all the windows for awhile and it's still bad. If you keep someone in the car so no one can approach it (and they really have to WATCH as bikers are sneaks and pigs) the car will be fine. Also when it's under security cameras except for at westshore mall. Now you know why the mob always left a goombah with their cars. I wonder about THIS ONE too.
