1) Do not call unless you were a direct victim of Jasep's. Who is a direct victim? Anyone affiliated with the 22Q foundation (such as JoeU), anyone who donated to 22Q through Jasep, anyone who had a piece of Jasep's 5k BAP here, and anyone who had any other financial dealings with Jasep that were shady since September, 2012. I mention September, 2012 because that's the date of his probation. The 22Q foundation money definitely falls into this because he was still "collecting" the money to send them at the time his probation began, and it's likely he never sent it, which is obviously a crime.

2) Do not direct her to this convoluted 85-page thread. There's no way she's reading all of this shit. You need to make the facts clear and concise. For example:

"John Sepulveda ran an internet podcast through his website for the benefit of a charity called the 22Q foundation. I donated money to the foundation through him, but I believe he never sent it and just pocketed it. He did this to many people, for a total of thousands of dollars. When we contacted the foundation, they could not find any record of his donation, and will be making an official statement about this shortly. John refuses to provide any proof that he actually submitted the money. We have a copy of the 50-hour podcast where he collected all of the money and announced how much had been received."

"John Sepulveda ran a scam on an internet message forum where he asked for people to pay for his buyins to poker games at the Foxwoods casino, and he would report every day how he was doing. He made many reports, but we don't believe he was actually playing, and we believe he simply stole all of the money and spent it on other things. Last week, in his last video blog, he claimed he was winning, and had all of our money. Since we asked him to show proof the money existed, he refused and disappeared."

Offer to provide as much evidence as you can, but DO NOT just direct her to this thread, because it's overwhelming to read and full of infighting.

To be honest, the charity stuff will have more "teeth" than the BAP scam, for obvious reasons, so try to focus more on that.
Dont forget to mention that he was at the police department because he was being stalked and threatened.
