THE STORY...

WHO IS KERRY ROGERS?

·         Kerry Rogers Lee has a dark history of frauds in the United States and Mexico. In the early 1980s, Kerry Rogers -while in his early 20s- was involved in a massive $22 million dollar bank fraud scheme.

·         Since young, Kerry Rogers was linked to the illegal gambling world. “He served seven months in a Federal penitentiary in Duluth, following a conviction as an accessory after the fact in a $22 million dollar bank fraud scheme. Several reports suggest Rogers has organized crime connections, a notion he confronts with laughter”, establishes “Leaving Las Vegas Behind”, an article published in July 1996.

·         Rogers was convicted in 1985, when a court sentenced him, along with a member of the Gambino Mafia family, for the bank fraud aforementioned.

·         Rogers was indicted on charges of bank fraud and conspiracy for an alleged $22 million dollar scheme to sell false insurance premium finance agreements. The indictment charged Rogers with making five million dollars from the sale of 30 fraudulent agreements. Rogers was facing 59 years in prison as a result of his indictment.

·         The bank fraud that Rogers participated in was a detailed, complicated scheme that had a direct Mafia involvement. Kerry Rogers associated with Richard Mammarella, a well-known con man.

·         The charges against Rogers were severe. However, he entered a plea agreement and pled guilty. The fabricated story he told to the judge about feeling remorseful, as well as his confession of having a drug abuse problem, helped him reach an agreement that reduced his sentence to one year in prison, and after seven months he was freed.

·         What stands out of this case, is that Rogers, 27 years old, was a sophisticated, career con man, so deft at his craft that he was able to con the ultimate con man, Richard Mammarella.

·         Even though he spent one year in prison, Kerry Rogers did not change his lifestyle. In fact, while reviewing the history of trials against him it is obvious that he has dedicated his life to tricking and defrauding people.

·         An investigation report dated July 20, 2007, lists 30 cases in which Rogers was a named party in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada. Five of those cases are the result of Rogers’ activities regarding Mexico. Additionally, one of the cases is the felony DUI with which Rogers was charged, and ultimately pled guilty to a lesser offense. The remaining 24 cases show the level and extent of Rogers’ sophistication in the judicial process.

·         The report also includes cases in which Rogers was a party in the Third District Court of the State of Utah. Fourteen of those cases were civil cases, and one was a criminal case. Rogers was charged in a Federal Court in New York for being involved in an illegal Internet sports gambling business.
