ROBERT BUCKHANNON ZIPS LIPS DURING FRIDAY'S ARRAIGNMENT: Ordered To Surrender Passport, Buckhannon Released on $50,000 Bond & Ordered To Avoid All Contact With Co-Defendant Kelly DeMoss

Government estimates a 3-day trial, and details extensive evidence. Financial records range from BlueOx Credit Union to Michigan State University Federal Credit Union.

Robert Buckhannon was formally arraigned yesterday, September 21, during a 25-minute hearing in United States District Court in Grand Rapids. 

Buckhannon was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering relating relating to a “conspiracy to obtain money by means of false and fraudulent pretenses and representations to unlawfully enrich themselves, including by converting to their own personal use business loan proceeds fraudulently obtained from Blackburne that were intended for On Deck Sports Bar & Grill LLC”. His co-defendant, Kelly DeMoss, was previously arraigned on August 27, 2018 . 

Documents filed in the case reveal Buckhannon “stood mute”, like a character in a Quentin Tarantino film (“Hey, why am I Mr. Pink?”). Standing mute has the same legal effect as pleading not guilty.

Released on a secured $50,000 bond, Buckhannon was ordered to surrender his passport and agreed to remain in either Las Vegas, Nevada or Michigan, without prior consent of the court. (Clark County, Nevada court records reveal Buckhannon recently defaulted on a subprime auto title loan, stiffing Credit Acceptance Corporation for $18,648.74. The default judgment was filed on September 6, 2018.)

In addition to the standard conditions of release (banning witness tampering, agreeing to appear at all court proceedings) Buckhannon was barred from frequenting “marijuana grow stores/care facilities, etc.”. That will certainly put a crimp on his activity with Cultiv1260, a marijuana fertilizer business Buckhannon formed with his brother, Ronald.

Robert Buckhannon appears to be the “brains” behind SuperBio LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company formed to sell organic fertilizer targeted to marijuana growers. 

Buckhannon’s brother, Ronald Buckhannon, and Sebastian Runza are the “straw men” behind SuperBio LLC, the South Carolina limited liability company formed on May 18, 2017. 

Why would Ronald Buckhannon participate in this scheme?

Because he owes it to his brother. 

Robert Buckhannon regularly wired money through an intermediary to Ronald via an offshore account during his Arcanum/Vestium hedge fund days. 

For example, Robert Buckhannon wired $10,000 on August 20, 2009 from Arcanum Equity Fund, LLC’s Tampa, Florida “Bank of America” account to an account at Banco Credito Peru under the name 'Patricia Beatriz Estela Coronado'. Coronado is a Peruvian national who married Ronald Buckhannon on or about February 4, 2009 in Peru. The couple is still married. 

In addition, the Buckhannons have a long history of collaboration. 

For example, Advanced Medical Diagnostics, Inc. was formed in Florida on February 23, 1995 by Robert and Ronald Buckhannon. Ronald Buckhannon then resided at 6 31st Avenue, Isle of Palms, SC and Robert Buckhannon lived in Sarasota, Florida. 

Just months ago, on June 7, 2018, Buckhannon received federal approval to have unrestricted travel upon notification to his probation officer.

What a howler, right?

Here's an even bigger one: someone actually hired this clown! 

According to a document filed on June 7, 2018, Buckhannon is employed by a pharmaceutical company based in Colorado and conducts clinical trials!

Right, and I have hair like Daryl Hall and I'm dating a news anchorman. 

Well, I do have hair like Daryl Hall.

Robert Buckhannon was ordered by the court to provide “documentation and written verification re employment and income within 7 days to Pretrial Services.” He also must provide verification of his residence, and any work travel needs prior approval from his Pretrial Services Officer. 

Buckhannon cannot assume any financial obligations without prior approval from Pretrial Services. He is barred from any international travel and travel outside Nevada and Michigan must be verified and approved by Pretrial Services. 

In addition to his passport book, Buckhannon must also surrender his passport ID card.
