1
00:00:06,433 --> 00:00:08,000
They were soliciting acts.
2
00:00:08,066 --> 00:00:10,567
Acts had to pay
in order to get on the ticket.
3
00:00:11,967 --> 00:00:14,066
To me, it was an investment.
4
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:17,700
I was one of the artists
that got scammed as well.
5
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:18,834
Did he pay you back?
6
00:00:20,233 --> 00:00:22,600
- Wait, are you suing him too?
- Should I?
7
00:00:22,667 --> 00:00:23,667
I need you to go over there,
8
00:00:23,734 --> 00:00:25,100
because I think you've been
scammed too, mister.
9
00:00:25,166 --> 00:00:26,867
You know what, I'mma go over there.
10
00:00:26,934 --> 00:00:28,734
- Let me go over there.

{\an8}- Thank you, Byrd.
- You're welcome, Judge.

{\an8}Parties have been sworn in.
Have a seat, have a seat, sir.

{\an8}- Ms. Mullins.
- [Sharita] Hi.
20
00:01:09,867 --> 00:01:13,066
{\an8}- Also known as Queen Rita.
- Yes, ma'am.
21
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:15,734
You are a lifelong performer
22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,433
but only recently you've started
to make a living at it.
23
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,166
- You started to perform professionally.
- Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
24
00:01:21,233 --> 00:01:23,734
In the course of developing
your professional career,
25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,467
{\an8}- you hired a manager.
- Yes, ma'am.
26
00:01:25,533 --> 00:01:26,767
{\an8}[Judge Acker] Your manager introduced you
27
00:01:26,834 --> 00:01:28,233
{\an8}- to the defendant.
- Yes.
28
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:29,700
{\an8}And the defendant advised you
29
00:01:29,767 --> 00:01:32,100
- of a performing opportunity.
- Correct.
30
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:36,767
A radio station in Atlanta
was having a big birthday bash.
31
00:01:36,834 --> 00:01:38,433
They were soliciting acts.
32
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:42,333
Acts had to pay a thousand dollars
in order to get on the ticket.
33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,200
In anticipation of performing
at the concert,
34
00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:47,333
you spent money on new clothes.
35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,667
You hired a babysitter to watch your child
while you were rehearsing.
36
00:01:50,734 --> 00:01:54,133
So you spent $1,433 getting ready
37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,300
- for the event.
- Yes, ma'am.
38
00:01:55,367 --> 00:01:57,300
[Judge Acker] And then as it turns out,
there's no event.
39
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:59,500
The radio station had never heard of you.
40
00:01:59,567 --> 00:02:01,767
You'd given the defendant
a thousand dollars
41
00:02:01,834 --> 00:02:03,500
- for nothing.
- Yes, ma'am.
42
00:02:03,567 --> 00:02:06,734
But the biggest part
of your claim is for $7,500
43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,600
and that's what you describe as the loss
of potential income and exposure.
44
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:13,400
{\an8}- Correct.
- So the total amount of your claim
45
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:16,600
{\an8}- against the defendant is $10,000.
- Yes, ma'am.
46
00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:20,500
{\an8}Mr. Gray, according to you,
you are but an innocent bystander
47
00:02:20,567 --> 00:02:23,633
- and another victim in what was a scam.
- Yes, ma'am.
48
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,333
And what you tell us in your answer
is that you were in fact approached
49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,667
by the true scam artist
at issue in this case,
50
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:34,333
someone who went by the name Richie Rich.
51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Richie Rich hired you
to go get money from people.
52
00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:41,767
You did. And he's absconded
with everyone's funds.
53
00:02:41,834 --> 00:02:44,734
{\an8}You are a victim,
just like the plaintiff is a victim
54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,467
{\an8}and you maintain you owe her no money.
55
00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:47,900
Yes, ma'am.
56
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:50,834
When you found out about the scam
57
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:53,066
and that you weren't
in fact scheduled to perform,
58
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:56,000
I understand, Ms. Mullins,
you fired your manager.
59
00:02:56,066 --> 00:02:57,066
Yes, ma'am.
60
00:02:57,133 --> 00:02:59,100
You should've fired that person in advance
61
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:01,667
because I'd like to take a look
at the contract
62
00:03:01,734 --> 00:03:05,000
that you submitted as evidence.
63
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:07,867
And this is a contract
between you and the defendant.
64
00:03:07,934 --> 00:03:09,800
When your manager told you
65
00:03:09,867 --> 00:03:11,867
- about the defendant, Mr. Gray...
- [Sharita] Uh-hmm.
66
00:03:11,934 --> 00:03:13,100
[Judge Acker] ... had you met him before?
67
00:03:13,166 --> 00:03:15,867
- [Sharita] No, ma'am.
- And what did the manager tell you
68
00:03:15,934 --> 00:03:17,767
by way of introduction?
69
00:03:17,834 --> 00:03:22,467
So, me and my manager's relationship
is I've known her since I was a kid.
70
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,467
She's a part of like an extended family.
71
00:03:25,533 --> 00:03:30,500
But she told me that
JR was into, like, putting together,
72
00:03:30,567 --> 00:03:32,900
like, concerts, bringing on acts.
73
00:03:33,367 --> 00:03:35,367
{\an8}She's, like, literally I told her
74
00:03:35,433 --> 00:03:38,700
{\an8}that I wanted to be like an artist
for a Birthday Bash.
75
00:03:38,767 --> 00:03:40,333
{\an8}I was already, like, performing,
76
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,500
- like, this song...
- Famous Atlanta radio station,
77
00:03:42,567 --> 00:03:44,333
- they're having a Birthday Bash.
- It's huge.
78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,667
[Judge Acker] And the concert's huge.
79
00:03:45,734 --> 00:03:48,867
As a new artist,
it's no better stage to be on.
80
00:03:48,934 --> 00:03:50,533
[Judge Acker] Had you ever done
anything like this before?
81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,600
No, ma'am.
82
00:03:51,667 --> 00:03:53,800
So let me talk to you
for a moment, Mr. Gray.
83
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:55,533
And I wanna ask you about this contract
84
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,700
because the first thing
I noticed about it,
85
00:03:58,767 --> 00:04:01,133
it does not appear to be a contract
86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,166
- between you and the plaintiff.
- [Glen] Right.
87
00:04:03,233 --> 00:04:05,834
It's a contract between Birthday Bash
88
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:07,367
- and you.
- Yes.
89
00:04:07,433 --> 00:04:09,800
[Judge Acker] And I see
the plaintiff signs at the end,
90
00:04:09,867 --> 00:04:12,300
but why did you give her this contract?
91
00:04:12,367 --> 00:04:14,300
Well, so what happened was, Your Honor,
92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,834
the individual, Rich, knew me
because of my reputation,
93
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:21,233
{\an8}all these shows that I've done,
all the events that I've put together.
94
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,066
{\an8}I was actually coming off of one show
95
00:04:23,133 --> 00:04:25,800
{\an8}that he was reached to me
by a couple individuals saying
96
00:04:25,867 --> 00:04:27,066
that he was a good person to work with.
97
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,066
Sure, sure. Who was that person?
98
00:04:29,133 --> 00:04:31,867
It was actually one of the--
one of Richie's friends.
99
00:04:32,266 --> 00:04:33,600
I should've vetted that, of course,
100
00:04:33,667 --> 00:04:35,567
because, you know,
you just gotta do proper business.
101
00:04:35,633 --> 00:04:37,467
- Yeah, I just don't--it just doesn't...
- But it happened. It happened.
102
00:04:37,533 --> 00:04:38,967
It just doesn't sound
very professional at all.
103
00:04:39,033 --> 00:04:40,533
- It didn't. It didn't.
- I'm trying to understand.
104
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,633
When do you first meet Richie Rich?
105
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,500
Through a phone call,
106
00:04:45,567 --> 00:04:50,033
probably wanna say
around March, April, FaceTime
107
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,834
because I'm--at the time,
I'm flying in and out of Atlanta
108
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:52,900
for shows and things like that.
109
00:04:52,967 --> 00:04:54,233
So what was your arrangement with him?
110
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:58,100
{\an8}So out of every person that was given
to pay that performance fee,
111
00:04:58,166 --> 00:05:01,834
{\an8}I was supposed to get,
I believe it was $250 up to a thousand.
112
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:04,934
Where is the evidence of your deal
with Richie Rich?
113
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,200
Well, that's--a lot of stuff
in my phone got mishandled
114
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,100
and things like that but I was...
115
00:05:10,166 --> 00:05:12,200
[Judge Acker] Phones back up
to the cloud, friend. I'm not dumb.
116
00:05:12,266 --> 00:05:14,934
And in fact, you asked him for proof
117
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,467
that he had actually given the money
to somebody else, correct?
118
00:05:17,533 --> 00:05:18,700
- Yeah, because he never told me he was.
- [Judge Acker] And I'm gonna show you
119
00:05:18,767 --> 00:05:19,767
the proof he gave you.
120
00:05:19,834 --> 00:05:21,834
Can we put up exhibit one, please?
121
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:26,433
{\an8}Now this transaction
where a thousand dollars was paid
122
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:28,834
- to somebody called Love...
- Uh-hmm.
123
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:32,367
...that is your evidence
that you gave her money
124
00:05:32,433 --> 00:05:35,367
{\an8}to this mysterious shady concert promoter.
125
00:05:35,433 --> 00:05:37,033
{\an8}- [Glen] Exactly.
- [Judge Acker] To somebody called Love.
126
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:38,800
{\an8}- [Glen] Right.
- Did you ever meet him in person?
127
00:05:38,867 --> 00:05:40,200
- I never met him in person.
- You never met him
128
00:05:40,266 --> 00:05:41,266
- in person?
- I never met him in person.
129
00:05:41,333 --> 00:05:44,367
So how do you learn
that this has all just been a big scam?
130
00:05:44,734 --> 00:05:47,934
So as an artist, my thing
is I have to work with my manager.
131
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,133
{\an8}And I have been asking for a flyer,
132
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,767
{\an8}like, you know, at least
like two weeks prior to the event
133
00:05:52,834 --> 00:05:54,767
so I can post and market it.
134
00:05:54,834 --> 00:05:58,600
So literally it gets down to two days
before the show
135
00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:01,800
and I just put pressure on her
to reach out to him
136
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:03,400
to get the flyers, so I can...
137
00:06:03,467 --> 00:06:07,266
And that's when he says,
"Oops, oh, my gosh, Richie's gone.
138
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:08,633
I can't get any money back."
139
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:10,433
Well, no, because I gave her
some of her money back.
140
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,133
- [Judge Acker] You did?
- Even though I didn't have to do that.
141
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,400
[Judge Acker]
How much did you give her back?
142
00:06:13,467 --> 00:06:14,567
I don't even recall.
143
00:06:14,633 --> 00:06:15,734
- I sent it into her account.
- How much money did you get back?
144
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,066
I think about $200.
145
00:06:17,133 --> 00:06:18,633
And you say, sir, that you didn't have to
146
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:21,467
but what I find interesting
is that all throughout the evidence
147
00:06:21,533 --> 00:06:23,834
when she says,
"Look, we have to resolve this,
148
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:26,667
you know, I wanna work it out.
We can come up with payment arrangements."
149
00:06:26,734 --> 00:06:28,100
- Uh-hmm.
- Every time she mentions court,
150
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:29,433
you're like, "No, no, no,
I'm gonna do something.
151
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,500
- No, no, no, I'm gonna do something."
- Uh-hmm.
152
00:06:30,567 --> 00:06:31,633
[Judge Acker]
"No, no, no, I'm gonna help."
153
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:33,133
So you are constantly trying
154
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,467
- to put her off.
- Uh-hmm.
155
00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:36,867
But we did detective work together
calling Richie...
156
00:06:36,934 --> 00:06:38,066
- [Judge Acker] Detective work?
- Yes. And he's...
157
00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:39,433
- So here's what I...
- ... yes, ma'am.
158
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,700
I know that if somebody hires me to go out
159
00:06:42,767 --> 00:06:44,467
- and grab money for them...
- Uh-hmm.
160
00:06:44,533 --> 00:06:46,834
... and then they run off,
I'm at least gonna call the police
161
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:50,767
and I'm gonna say
I have been pulled into a scam
162
00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:53,567
through no fault of my own
and I wanna make a report.
163
00:06:53,633 --> 00:06:55,300
- Help me find this person.
- [Glen] Uh-hmm.
164
00:06:55,367 --> 00:06:57,734
- [Sharita] Uh-hmm.
- So there's no police report.
165
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,066
There's nothing to suggest
that you weren't in cahoots
166
00:07:01,133 --> 00:07:02,300
- with Richie Rich.
- Uh-hmm.
167
00:07:02,367 --> 00:07:04,333
- That you weren't Richie Rich.
- Uh-hmm.
168
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,300
[Judge Acker] Perhaps this is a part
of some larger fraud.
169
00:07:07,367 --> 00:07:08,967
Judge DiMango.
170
00:07:09,033 --> 00:07:10,533
I don't know
how you could think any one of us
171
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,967
don't think you're full of [bleep].
172
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:17,734
{\an8}All of this stuff about,
"Oh, I work with Cool and the Gang.
173
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,600
{\an8}I work with this one,
I work with that one."
174
00:07:19,667 --> 00:07:21,233
{\an8}You don't have anything to show that.
175
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:22,867
{\an8}- Nothing.
- I do.
176
00:07:22,934 --> 00:07:24,834
{\an8}- [Judge DiMango] Nothing. Really, where?
- I do.
177
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:26,667
We don't--do you have it?
178
00:07:26,734 --> 00:07:28,367
- No.
- No. We don't have that.
179
00:07:28,433 --> 00:07:31,066
I'm in here defending myself,
but I didn't bring that in.
180
00:07:31,133 --> 00:07:34,934
Second thing you didn't bring in--
Richie Rich.
181
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,066
Do me a favor. Just call me Patty Pat.
182
00:07:37,133 --> 00:07:38,166
Patty Pat.
183
00:07:38,233 --> 00:07:40,633
[Judge DiMango] Every question
that Judge Acker asked you,
184
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:42,000
she'll say, "What about this?"
185
00:07:42,066 --> 00:07:44,233
You go, "Oh, I was flying in and out
of Atlanta that day.
186
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:45,834
You know, I've done multiple times."
187
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,200
And then another question,
"Oh, well, I was representing Cool
188
00:07:48,266 --> 00:07:49,834
and the Gang and this one and that one."
189
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:51,233
- I mean, that's all you could do.
- Never said Cool and the Gang.
190
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:52,367
- Never said Cool and the Gang.
- [Judge DiMango] I couldn't remember
191
00:07:52,433 --> 00:07:53,433
the name of the thing.
192
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,066
I'm not that hip myself.
193
00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:57,266
[laughter]
194
00:07:57,333 --> 00:07:59,066
- [Glen] Cool and the Gang.
- [Judge Acker] I'm sorry.
195
00:07:59,133 --> 00:08:01,734
Something cool I saw
in this list of names.
196
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,934
I don't know who they were.
197
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,066
[Judge Acker] She was rolling
a couple decades before that.
198
00:08:04,133 --> 00:08:05,967
I'm just throwing some decades behind me.

200
00:08:09,834 --> 00:08:11,700
- Show me one screenshot that you took.
- Well, I'm gonna be honest with you,
201
00:08:11,767 --> 00:08:13,367
I didn't bring his evidence for me.
202
00:08:13,433 --> 00:08:16,367
I brought my evidence
to defend my situation and also to...
203
00:08:16,433 --> 00:08:18,133
[Judge DiMango] I don't need you
to defend your situation.
204
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,800
You're not even on trial here.
205
00:08:19,867 --> 00:08:21,600

{\an8}[announcer] Sharita Mullins
is suing Glen Gray, Jr. for $10,000.
208
00:08:29,233 --> 00:08:31,166
{\an8}Sharita claims Glen scammed her
209
00:08:31,233 --> 00:08:33,367
into believing that she was going
to be performing
210
00:08:33,433 --> 00:08:35,834
with famous singers at a music event.
211
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:39,033
Glen claims he's also a victim
of the same scam,
212
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,834
so he owes her nothing.
213
00:08:41,433 --> 00:08:43,834
{\an8}You're a guy who claims
in your papers here
214
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,133
{\an8}that you really work
with top artists, right?
215
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,900
- Yes, ma'am, I do.
- [Judge DiMango] You're the man.
216
00:08:47,967 --> 00:08:51,967
And here, you don't even verify
217
00:08:52,033 --> 00:08:53,867
who these people are.
218
00:08:53,934 --> 00:08:57,066
You were so happy to get money from her
219
00:08:57,133 --> 00:09:01,166
{\an8}and from this other fella,
Bossy Dog or Googie Dog,
220
00:09:01,233 --> 00:09:02,266
{\an8}what was his name?
221
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:03,633
{\an8}- Boss Dog.
- [Lonnie] Boss Dog. Right.
222
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,133
- Boss Dog. Is that you?
- Yeah, that's me.
223
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,934
Now, Googie Dog is like that.
I might LLC that.
224
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
That's dope.
225
00:09:11,834 --> 00:09:15,433
So you who work for Bossy Dog
and all these other people,
226
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:18,300
{\an8}you kind of just take money
from everybody.
227
00:09:18,367 --> 00:09:20,433
{\an8}- No, ma'am.
- And then instead of sending it
228
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:21,867
to Richie Rich,
229
00:09:21,934 --> 00:09:24,233
you send your $1,000
230
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,333
to a very respectful business name--Love.
231
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,667
- Right?
- No.

[Judge DiMango]
And then lo and behold, Love screws you.
233
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:34,233
- Yeah.
- [Sharita] Oh, my God.
234
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:36,100
A lot of cases it does, Your Honor.
235

[Judge DiMango]
You know what, Bossy, come on up here.
236
00:09:37,767 --> 00:09:38,834
[Lonnie] Please. Thank you.
237
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,300
Please. You gotta defend yourself.
238
00:09:41,367 --> 00:09:43,633
- Because I want you, Boss Dog...
- [Lonnie] Bro, this is crazy, bruh.
239
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:46,133
... to tell us
what you're doing here today.
240
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,066
Well, just like Rita,
I thought I was in the dark.
241
00:09:49,133 --> 00:09:52,700
{\an8}And initially I thought JR
was someone I could trust
242
00:09:52,767 --> 00:09:55,233
{\an8}due to on social media
seeing he was involved
243
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,300
- with different artists that we knew.
- [Judge DiMango] He wasn't involved
244
00:09:57,367 --> 00:09:58,667
with anybody on social media.
245
00:09:58,734 --> 00:10:00,567
- Show me one screenshot that you took.
- Well, I'm gonna be honest with you,
246
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:02,166
I didn't bring his evidence for me.
247
00:10:02,233 --> 00:10:03,667
- I brought my evidence, so...
- [Judge DiMango] Yeah.
248
00:10:03,734 --> 00:10:05,266
... I can't really bring his--
249
00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:06,333
if that man didn't bring his evidence,
I don't know.
250
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,967
[Judge DiMango]
Wait, are you suing him too?
251
00:10:08,033 --> 00:10:09,734
- I don't know. Should I?
- [Judge DiMango] I know. I know.
252
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,367
So what kind of evidence
are you gonna bring?
253
00:10:11,433 --> 00:10:12,467
- You're not suing him.
- No. I brought evidence
254
00:10:12,533 --> 00:10:14,600
to defend my situation and also to...
255
00:10:14,667 --> 00:10:16,700
[Judge DiMango] I don't need you
to defend your situation.
256
00:10:16,767 --> 00:10:19,567
What are you defending?
You're not even on trial here.
257
00:10:19,633 --> 00:10:21,333
- Judge DiMango is no joke.
- [Judge DiMango] Patty Pat.
258
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,767
- Patty Pat. Googie Goo.
- Go.
259
00:10:22,834 --> 00:10:26,233
So basically, Rita is suing JR.
260
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:29,500
However, I was one of the artists
that got scammed as well.
261
00:10:29,567 --> 00:10:32,900
{\an8}I was told by JR that I could trust Rich
262
00:10:32,967 --> 00:10:35,266
{\an8}- and then I got the contract from Rich.
- Sure, because he is Rich.
263
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:38,400
I was on a--I was on a FaceTime
with Rich for two seconds
264
00:10:38,467 --> 00:10:39,900
- and it was two different people.
- [Judge DiMango] Two seconds?
265
00:10:39,967 --> 00:10:42,133
Yeah, I actually have evidence
that I submitted.
266
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,900
So we have a picture of you
talking to a face that...
267
00:10:44,967 --> 00:10:46,600
[Lonnie] To the person
who claims to be Rich,
268
00:10:46,667 --> 00:10:49,133
because at the time,
I felt like it was iffy business.
269
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,500
So I screenshotted it along
with a screenshot of Miranda as well.
270
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:53,867
So seriously, why would you not think
271
00:10:53,934 --> 00:10:58,100
that JR here was not in the scam with him?
272
00:10:58,166 --> 00:10:59,767
I'mma be honest with you,
towards the tail end,
273
00:10:59,834 --> 00:11:01,900
- I started to think he was involved too.
- [Judge DiMango] Yes,
274
00:11:01,967 --> 00:11:03,033
- I think you're going right.
- I ain't gonna front.
275
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:04,100
Towards the tail end,
I started thinking that.
276
00:11:04,166 --> 00:11:05,266
I think--you know what,
I think you should change tables.
277
00:11:05,333 --> 00:11:06,934
Have a seat.
No, Doggy Dog, I'm only kidding.
278
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,133
- Have a seat.
- Oh, okay.
279
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,400
[laughter]
280
00:11:09,467 --> 00:11:10,734
I like Judge DiMango.
281
00:11:11,166 --> 00:11:14,066
Oh, I'm glad you do.
I know your buddy here JR doesn't.
282
00:11:14,133 --> 00:11:15,233
You're a scammer.
283
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:17,467
[laughter]
284
00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:18,900
Judge Levy.
285
00:11:18,967 --> 00:11:21,233
[Judge Levy]
Listen, I'll keep an open mind.
286
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,900
{\an8}You tell me how it is
287
00:11:24,967 --> 00:11:27,500
that you're not part of this scam
with Richie Rich.
288
00:11:27,567 --> 00:11:30,800
For me, sir, I'm not--
I'm not trying to be funny.
289
00:11:30,867 --> 00:11:32,633
A thousand dollars to me,
290
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,767
{\an8}that's some money
but it's not enough for me to try to go
291
00:11:35,834 --> 00:11:37,800
{\an8}and do something scam-ish.
292
00:11:37,867 --> 00:11:38,967
But I knew the opportunity
293
00:11:39,033 --> 00:11:40,433
for a thousand dollars
to get on a show like this
294
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:42,800
with all those top artists and I did...
295
00:11:42,867 --> 00:11:44,433
Well, you were--listen,
you weren't doing that for nothing.
296
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:48,033
You were taking 25% of her money.
297
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,467
Well, more than anything,
let me tell you why I did that.
298
00:11:50,533 --> 00:11:51,600
- Because hold on one second.
- Yeah.
299
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:55,033
Did he tell you though
that he was gonna keep $250
300
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:56,500
of your thousand dollars?
301
00:11:56,567 --> 00:11:59,233
No. I mean, he told me nothing
about this other person at all.
302
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:00,667
- [Judge Levy] Okay.
- Totally unknown.
303
00:12:00,734 --> 00:12:03,700
So what I did, as we began to talk,
I felt bad.
304
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:05,900
So I decided, I said, "Listen,
if he doesn't pay you back,
305
00:12:05,967 --> 00:12:07,600
I will try to compensate all..."
306
00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:09,834
[Judge Levy] No, not I'm gonna try
to compensate.
307
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:11,567
What did he tell you in a text message?
308
00:12:11,633 --> 00:12:13,133
He said it wasn't his fault.
309
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,233
[Judge Levy] "And if Richie
doesn't pay you back, I will."
310
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:18,600
- [Lonnie] Right.
- [Judge Levy] Did he pay you back?
311
00:12:18,667 --> 00:12:20,734
No, I was told by JR--
312
00:12:21,233 --> 00:12:23,233
what I was told was that, um...
313
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:25,567
You need to be on that side, fam.
I don't know why you on this side.
314
00:12:25,633 --> 00:12:26,633
- You can go right there.
- You know what, I'mma go over there.
315
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,033
- Yeah, please let him go over there.
- Let me go over there.
316
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,400
- You don't need to be on this side.
- You got to sit on this side.
317
00:12:29,467 --> 00:12:31,200
- [Glen] [indistinct] gave Richie or...
- So, basically, um...
318
00:12:31,266 --> 00:12:32,266
[Glen] ... whatever his [indistinct]
the money,
319
00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:33,867
so why am I being questioned about that?
320
00:12:33,934 --> 00:12:37,767
{\an8}I was told that from JR to trust Richie,
321
00:12:37,834 --> 00:12:38,867
{\an8}you understood what I'm saying?
322
00:12:38,934 --> 00:12:41,000
{\an8}So this man right here tells you
323
00:12:41,066 --> 00:12:42,867
to trust the man that he's never met.
324
00:12:42,934 --> 00:12:44,367
- Right?
- At the time, I wasn't aware.
325
00:12:44,433 --> 00:12:45,967
- I was unaware of that.
- [Judge Levy] Hold on.
326
00:12:46,033 --> 00:12:48,934
Wait, actually when she gave you
a thousand dollars
327
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:53,333
and you had a deal with Richie Rich
to keep 25%,
328
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,633
you kept 250 in your pocket
and you only sent him 750.
329
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:59,433
- [Lonnie] Uh-hmm.
- Seven--no, I sent him a thousand.
330
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:03,033
Why would you give him the whole thousand
if 250 of that was yours?
331
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,233
Unfortunately, I didn't get the 250
332
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,367
because I gave a--why would I send
that to [indistinct]...
333
00:13:07,433 --> 00:13:09,667
[Judge Levy] Well, first of all
what you claim you sent,
334
00:13:09,734 --> 00:13:11,000
there's no evidence of that.
335
00:13:11,066 --> 00:13:13,867
If in fact you were not a part
and parcel of this scam,
336
00:13:13,934 --> 00:13:15,033
and I'm not saying that you were.
337
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:16,533
- That's what you sound [indistinct].
- No, I'm saying
338
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,934
that if you weren't,
you know what you would've done?
339
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,600
You would've given her a thousand bucks
and you would've called the cops.
340
00:13:22,667 --> 00:13:24,800
Why didn't you call the cops?
341
00:13:24,867 --> 00:13:26,433
So the reason why I did not call the cops,
342
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:28,667
I didn't know who the--who--
what the guy's name was.
343
00:13:28,734 --> 00:13:30,500
Uh, after all this time...
344
00:13:30,567 --> 00:13:32,066
[Judge Levy] Oh, that's a great idea.
345
00:13:32,133 --> 00:13:34,433
You know, because cops
don't know anything about investigating.
346
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:35,800
- [Glen] They don't.
- Cops don't know anything
347
00:13:35,867 --> 00:13:38,667
about learning
people's true identity, right?
348
00:13:38,734 --> 00:13:40,266
- In our business, it doesn't work like...
- Cops don't have any of that.
349
00:13:40,333 --> 00:13:41,667
- In our business it don't work like that.
- [Judge Levy] You had a cell phone.
350
00:13:41,734 --> 00:13:43,033
- It don't work like that.
- You know what you get with a cell phone?
351
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,934
- Your 31 years, you did that, right?
- Yes.
352
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,166
Is there any way that police
can figure out someone's name
353
00:13:47,233 --> 00:13:48,533
- and the plan they're on?
- Yes.
354
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,200
Oh, so it would seem to me
355
00:13:51,266 --> 00:13:52,767
if I were in your shoes,
356
00:13:52,834 --> 00:13:55,166
the reason I would not
wanna go to the police
357
00:13:55,233 --> 00:13:57,867
is because I would not want the police
to do their investigation
358
00:13:57,934 --> 00:13:59,500
and come back to...
359
00:13:59,567 --> 00:14:01,633
- You.
- ... you.
360
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:03,133
- What do you mean? Come back to me?
- [Judge Levy] What do I mean?
361
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,667
You are the connecting piece
to everything with Richie Rich.
362
00:14:06,734 --> 00:14:11,400
{\an8}And the police would've looked
at you as a potential suspect,
363
00:14:11,467 --> 00:14:12,900
and you didn't want that heat.
364
00:14:12,967 --> 00:14:14,600
You didn't want them to look at you.
365
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:18,266
First of all, I do not take anything away
from my negligence
366
00:14:18,333 --> 00:14:20,734
of trying to find out
who I was working with at the time.
367
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,900
Unfortunately,
it cost at the risk of Rita.
368
00:14:22,967 --> 00:14:24,400
Me and Rita had a arrangement,
I was gonna do it,
369
00:14:24,467 --> 00:14:26,633
but because our conversation
got a little heated,
370
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:28,633
I say, "You know what,
hey, listen, I was gonna pay you back
371
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:31,533
but because the way you're talking to me,
let's just go to court then.
372
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,100
- That's fine, let's do it." You know?
- [Judge Levy] I got it. I got it.
373
00:14:33,166 --> 00:14:34,400
Well, you got it.
Do what you have to do, Judge.
374
00:14:34,467 --> 00:14:36,266
You know what? I change my mind about you.
375
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:37,834
- You are absolutely part of this.
- [Glen] Okay.
376
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:39,200
- I'm done.
- [Glen] That's fine.
377
00:14:39,266 --> 00:14:41,333
{\an8}May we have the Chime witness, please?
378
00:14:42,033 --> 00:14:44,066
Could you please state your name
for the record?
379
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:45,367
Miranda Williams.
380
00:14:45,433 --> 00:14:46,600
[Judge Acker] Thank you, Ms. Williams.
381
00:14:46,667 --> 00:14:49,133
Now according
to your independent witness statement,
382
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,800
you were employed by Richie Rich.
383
00:14:51,867 --> 00:14:54,233
In what capacity
were you working with him?
384
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:58,033
So I had just recently moved to Atlanta
and was looking for work.
385
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:02,700
{\an8}He approached me, said, "Okay, let's--um,
let me try and help you.
386
00:15:02,767 --> 00:15:04,767
I got a position.
You can be my assistant."
387
00:15:04,834 --> 00:15:06,867
How did he approach you?
Did he approach you in person?
388
00:15:06,934 --> 00:15:08,367
Did he call you? Or was it online?
389
00:15:08,433 --> 00:15:11,367
No. He messaged me through Facebook.
390
00:15:11,433 --> 00:15:12,967
Did you ever meet him in person?
391
00:15:13,667 --> 00:15:14,734
Yes.
392
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,400
What were you doing for him?
What kind of work were you doing for him?
393
00:15:17,467 --> 00:15:19,767
Um, so I was sending out contracts.
394
00:15:19,834 --> 00:15:23,567
I was scheduling timeslots with the artist
395
00:15:23,633 --> 00:15:27,200
that he was getting signed up
in order to perform at the Birthday Bash.
396
00:15:27,266 --> 00:15:29,867
I was collecting payments,
I was answering the phone,
397
00:15:29,934 --> 00:15:31,133
I was running errands.
398
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,166
What raised your concerns?
What made you suspicious?
399
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:38,934
Well, um, I had conversations
with, uh, Boss Dog.
400
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,967
He was like, "Miranda,
this doesn't sound right.
401
00:15:41,033 --> 00:15:42,533
I'm in the music industry."
402
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,333
And he kind of put up the red flags
that I wouldn't have seen.
403
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,767
[Judge Acker] In your witness statement,
404
00:15:47,834 --> 00:15:50,467
you indicate that Mr. Rich owes you
405
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:53,800
about $10,000 in back wages.
406
00:15:53,867 --> 00:15:55,700
Did he ever pay you anything?
407
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:56,767
No.
408
00:15:56,834 --> 00:15:59,066
Was there ever a period in time
where you said,
409
00:15:59,133 --> 00:16:00,700
"I need to call the police"?
410
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:02,367
- No, ma'am.
- [Judge Acker] Why not?

418
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:26,700
into believing
that she was going to be performing

00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,367
[Judge Acker] In your witness statement,
422
00:16:34,433 --> 00:16:37,066
{\an8}you indicate that Mr. Rich owes you

- No, ma'am.
- [Judge Acker] Why not?

I just wanted to leave it all alone.

This case will be recalled.

455
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,600
[dramatic musical sting]
456
00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:07,400
So I think that, irrespective
of whether or not he was clearly in on it,
457
00:18:07,467 --> 00:18:11,100
or whether or not he was
just, uh, I won't mince words, stupid.
458
00:18:11,166 --> 00:18:13,900
I mean, how do you ask for money
on behalf of somebody else
459
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,500
when you don't even know their name?
460
00:18:15,567 --> 00:18:17,367
It defies logic and common sense.
461
00:18:17,433 --> 00:18:19,133
He certainly owes her the money.
462
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,300
She gave him a thousand, he returned 200.
463
00:18:22,367 --> 00:18:24,100
It's at least $800.
464
00:18:24,166 --> 00:18:27,934
She's also asking for the money
that she spent to prepare.
465
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,266
- I think she's entitled to that.
- [Judge DiMango] Yeah. I agree.
466
00:18:29,333 --> 00:18:32,467
You know, it was a big concert,
it was promoted to her as a big deal.
467
00:18:32,533 --> 00:18:35,734
She acted reasonably and relying on that
and saying, "I wanna be ready."
468
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,867
Now the more difficult element
of her damages are the $7,500
469
00:18:39,934 --> 00:18:44,734
that she says that she was deprived of
in potential income and exposure.
470
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,500
I think that's a bit speculative,
you know?
471
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:48,400
We don't know how much money
she would've made,
472
00:18:48,467 --> 00:18:50,734
we don't know
what the exposure ultimately,
473
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,000
uh, would've translated into economically.
474
00:18:53,066 --> 00:18:55,433
But I'm certainly comfortable
with prep fees,
475
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:57,300
uh, plus the balance
of the thousand dollars.
476
00:18:57,367 --> 00:18:58,600
[Judge DiMango] I'm totally onboard.
477
00:18:58,667 --> 00:19:01,100
And I think it's speculative
as to whether or not,
478
00:19:01,166 --> 00:19:04,567
you know, she would've, uh, gotten
any income from this and how much.
479
00:19:04,967 --> 00:19:07,734
I almost wish she would've asked
for punitive damages instead
480
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,433
because I really think
that he is a major part of the scam.
481
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:13,967
And I would've liked
to have penalized him in some way.
482
00:19:14,033 --> 00:19:15,900
But I definitely wanna give her back
what she spent.
483
00:19:15,967 --> 00:19:18,467
And you know a good legal issue
that we'll just thrown in?
484
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:21,734
The defendant told the plaintiff via text
485
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,800
that he would make good
on that thousand dollars.
486
00:19:23,867 --> 00:19:25,200
He was going to pay that back.
487
00:19:25,266 --> 00:19:27,400
And as we know, uh, an oral agreement
488
00:19:27,467 --> 00:19:30,700
to cover the debt of someone else
is not enforceable.
489
00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:34,433
But he put it in writing, and there was
a legitimate basis for that repayment
490
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,000
because he knows
he was responsible for it,
491
00:19:36,066 --> 00:19:38,033
so he loses that on two separate grounds.
492
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:39,400
Number one, he was negligent
493
00:19:39,467 --> 00:19:41,800
in not confirming
who he was sending her money to.
494
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:44,800
And number two, he promised to pay it back
and he put that promise in writing.
495
00:19:44,867 --> 00:19:48,233
- We're unanimous.
- Uh, $2,233.
496
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:50,266
- Perfect.
- Very good.
497
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:53,300
[dramatic musical sting]
498
00:19:53,367 --> 00:19:54,500
[Byrd] Court is back in session.
499
00:19:54,567 --> 00:19:56,633
I'll remind parties
you're still under oath.
500
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:58,800
- Thank you, Birdie Byrd.
- Uh-hmm.
501
00:19:58,867 --> 00:20:02,600
[Judge Acker] Ms. Mullins,
you gave this man a thousand dollars.
502
00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:06,734
That money allegedly went to somebody
who scammed everybody.
503
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,800
As Judge Levy pointed out,
if it really had gone to that person,
504
00:20:09,867 --> 00:20:14,133
he would've kept $250
and then given the balance to Rich.
505
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,166
So, all of that was suspicious.
506
00:20:16,233 --> 00:20:19,533
But you know what, Mr. Gray,
uh, I don't even have to go that far.
507
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,333
I mean, you yourself acknowledge,
at a minimum, it's negligence.
508
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,700
Grabbing money from other people
509
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:28,166
for somebody whose name
you say you don't even know.
510
00:20:28,233 --> 00:20:31,300
But frankly there's some suspicion
that more than that happened.
511
00:20:31,367 --> 00:20:33,900
Ms. Mullins, you are entitled to the $800
512
00:20:33,967 --> 00:20:36,700
which is the remainder of the money
that he still owes you.
513
00:20:36,767 --> 00:20:39,633
You're entitled to the $1,433
514
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:41,967
that you spent in anticipation
515
00:20:42,033 --> 00:20:44,767
of what was supposed
to be a really big event.
516
00:20:44,834 --> 00:20:48,800
And then a big part of your claim
for relief was $7,500
517
00:20:48,867 --> 00:20:51,066
for money that you believe
you would've made
518
00:20:51,133 --> 00:20:52,166
if this had all gone out,
519
00:20:52,233 --> 00:20:53,967
the costs of the lost exposure.
520
00:20:54,033 --> 00:20:55,300
We don't have any evidence.
521
00:20:55,367 --> 00:20:57,233
We don't know
what you ultimately might have made
522
00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:01,734
or what that exposure would've
translated to in terms of dollars.
523
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,867
So there really isn't a legal path
to compensate you for that.
524
00:21:04,934 --> 00:21:06,333
That would be speculative.
525
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,200
But before you go,
526
00:21:08,266 --> 00:21:12,066
um, Boss Dog, AKA "Googie Dog"...
527
00:21:12,133 --> 00:21:13,233
- Uh-huh.
- ... has something else
528
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,734
- that he wants to say.
- Oh, yes.
529
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,166
Just to make it all make sense,
I had a great time here,
530
00:21:18,233 --> 00:21:19,734
but I submitted music as well.
531
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,533
And I was one of the artists
who got scammed by Rich.
532
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,900
And, you know, it could've been
a even bigger break for me as well.
533
00:21:24,967 --> 00:21:26,600
- So...
- So give us something.
534
00:21:26,667 --> 00:21:28,400
Um, I think they have it here.
535
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:29,467
- They could play it for you.
- I thought you wanted to do it right...
536
00:21:29,533 --> 00:21:30,533
You want me to rap right now?
537
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,433
Yeah, why don't you just do it live?

540

- I could do both.
- [Judge Acker] It's not a concert.
541
00:21:37,133 --> 00:21:39,467
- This is not Coachella. This is like...
- Okay. So--well, you know what?
