FUGITIVE CRAIG S. GIBSON ACCUSES MISS FORTUNE OF ARTIFICIAL DISSEMINATION

Well, look what Miss Fortune found flopping around in her gill net this morning! Fan mail from some flounder?

No, Bullwinkle...it's an email from another Northern Michigan fugitive from justice, Craig S. Gibson.


To tell the truth, and your girl Miss Fortune always does, the Craigster had not crossed my mind in months.  But after receiving that email, I checked on the status of Gibson's outstanding warrant.


Looks like our boy Craig gave a jingle to the court yesterday, all the way from his home in Cali, Colombia!

Miss Fortune would have loved to have gone all NSA on Gibson and eavesdropped on that convo! One can only imagine the cursing and doggerel that flowed and crackled along the phone line from Colombia.

Reach out again, Craig! 

Miss Fortune's just itchin' to catch her another criminal! 

For those readers who wonder just who is Craig Gibson and why is he saying all those terrible things about me, here's a refresher course:


As published March 12, 2013 on "Glistening, Quivering Underbelly":

Where In The World Is Craig S. Gibson?

The State of Michigan can't find him, but we did!

Here's how former Long Lake Township resident Craig S. Gibson describes himself on his personal HubPages site: http://csgibson.hubpages.com/

Craig Gibson was educated at Michigan State University and Harvard University in the USA.  He was also educated in Colombia South America at the Universidad Santiago de Cali and the Colombo Americano Institute.  He has been self-employed all his life.  He has traveled Colombia for years and has become an expert on Colombia and its people.

Are you finished laughing yet? OK, here's some of what he left out.

Gibson is the former owner of  Versatile Mortgage Funding Company and a Traverse City area real estate agent. According to State of Michigan's business entity records, Gibson also operated Versatile Debt Management, an unlicensed debt management firm he ran out of 801 S. Garfield in Traverse City--otherwise known as mailbox #310 at the UPS Store.

Here's where it gets a little confusing (by design, I suppose): Gibson was neither licensed as a mortgage broker or a debt management company and the debt management arm of his corporation was simply an assumed name.

Here's an excerpt from Gibson's mortgage company record from the official State of Michigan corporate database:

Whew, are you ready for more?

You may remember hearing in November 2012 that Gibson faced felony charges after State of Michigan authorities said he duped state officials into providing nearly $17,000 in undeserved welfare benefits.

According to a story in the Traverse City Record-Eagle, a report from the Michigan Department of Human Services showed that from November 2009 through March 2011, Gibson received various benefits intended for himself, his wife and his stepdaughter.

But state investigators spoke to Gibson's now ex-wife, who revealed that she and her daughter moved out of the house in September 2009.

The total amount of alleged fraud listed in the DHS report was $16,944.


Investigators set a August 27, 2012 interview for Gibson to discuss what they suspected to be fraudulent activity, but he didn't show, the report said.

Too bad the Record-Eagle didn't do its job. They would have discovered that Gibson didn't show because he'd already fled the United States for a new life (and a new wife) in Cali, Colombia.

OH, HAVE A (NEW) HEART! CRAIG GOT ONE IN 2009 AND STILL OWES $35,000 TO THE CLEVELAND CLINIC

Don't cry for Craig, Argentina!

He's got a new gig (yeah, that lounging poolside thing is just a hobby).

He's out rattling the tin cup for donations to help him pay for his new life in Colombia after his November 23, 2009 heart transplant at the Cleveland Clinic.  Here's an excerpt from Gibson's fundraising site: http://www.medical-aid.org/



I'm too sexy for my do-rag!

Craig Gibson had a heart transplant November 23, 2009. After 24 years of suffering heart failure, Craig recieved a heart transplant at the Cleveland Clinic. The experience was a rough one but at the same time it was an incredible gift and definitely a miracle. 

We thank God every day for this blessing and for his new chance at life. Unfortunately this all happened during the financial crisis and Craig lost everything, but he gained his health. He has been struggling with unpaid medical bills and $4,000 a month drug expenses. he has been able to take advantage of various plans to defer his drug costs. But now he has to rely on Medicare. Because he does not qualify for extra help to pay for his medicare premiums and his extra drug costs, he will have a shortfall of $7,300 a year. These drugs are necessary to keep Craig alive and they are very expensive. He also has $35,000 in unpaid medical expenses related to his transplant. Our goal is to raise a few years cushion to pay his medicare costs plus his past due medical bills. This comes to just under $60,000.

Craig's only income is a $713 social security check every month. So even after we raise the desired amount we will have to continue our fund raising efforts for a while. Any donation regardless of the size would be greatly appreciated.

And Craig's PayPal account IS verified, folks, in case you want to send him a contribution. Of course, it's verified under yet another one of Gibson's now-defunct Michigan corporate entities, PRIMETIMECLICK, Inc.
