Andy’s girlfriend pays off restitution

Posted on December 2, 2020 in Uncategorized

Ok, it’ late and I’m tired, but quickly wanted to post that Andy finally admitted where the money came from to pay off his restitution. In the rambling Facebook post that follows, Andy explains that his girlfriend paid off his restitution for him…because after all Andy doesn’t make much if any money and can’t afford to do it himself.

According to Andy, she paid the final $7,000 after a warrant was issued for his arrest and officers went to his apartment to apprehend him. How sad (not).

Anyway, that’s the final word on case #111701135. Any of course still owes around $16,000 to the Utah Department of Securities for his illegal tock scam, but we all know he’ll never pay that. He still insists he’s innocent, so…

Rambling post follows in raw form:

This recording is

court secretary confirming 03.22.2019 Judge Connors terminating my case. FYI- I did not want my case terminated because I knew as long as I kept my case LIVE I would eventually get to speak to Judge Connors remember when I was my own attorney they made me look crazy to Judge Connors by sending me to a BS 90 day evaluation where I told corrupt Unit-4 director MIke Cox @Daryl Acumen. I told all employees at Utah State Hospital about wiser technology and then I told all AP&P officers but they kept pretending and passing me to another Probation officer I will post screenshots of AP&P cards in comments section asap. -> I didn’t want

Sindy Manzano

to pay off court $7,000 restitution Feb 2019 but she was scared because PO Hentish sent over two police officers to her apt to harass her and the kids so she would think AP&P was going to send me to prison if the money wasn’t paid Feb 2019 and she gets taxes for our girls so my girls went with mom and paid off court so I could terminate and Troy Rawlings couldn’t put Daddy back in jail with 13 fake probation violations that were ultimately dropped, my wife

Sindy Manzano

freaked when I told her

Davis County Sheriff’s Office

DA put me in a cell with a guy that had a swastika on back of his head so I can’t blame her for paying off court Feb 2019 without telling me but now I had to go see Judge Connors for the last time 03.22.2019 and new prosecutor, Arringtion, etc. threatened my wife’s Daca status if I tried to speak in court but I believed Judge Connors knew something was up because in 03.22.2019 court video you see Judge Connors say “Do you public Defender Arrington or new prosecutor have anything to say before I terminate this case” both Arrington & new prosecutor Troy Rawlings fit in looked down the whole time and said “No” they were scared I was going to explode and I should have exploded but I thought Judge Connors is noticing somethings wrong but NOTHING and seven days later Samantha Josephson was killed because she got in the car thinking it was her

Update…

Posted on May 28, 2019 in Uncategorized

The three victims that wee the inspiration for this blog have all been paid back in full. I’ve confirmed that they all received their restitution checks in April.

Andy Esquivel is apparently working and has filed a petition to have his charges reduced (see link below).

111701135-reduce

It is not likely that Judge Connors will grant this request baed on Andy’s reasoning though. Andy states in his official request letter that “…your courtroom is corrupt by racist attorneys & prosecutors I have chronicled everything at WiserTechnology My private $500 an hour lawyer Holje said ‘Don’t f**k with the brotherhood’ Allen Brady has recordings of Holje, Albright, Arrington, etc…”

Allen Brady is basically homeless. He’s been squatting on homes in Arizona and defrauding the owners while he moves form place to place. I’ll post details later when I have time. It’s almost as sordid a story as Xtagged.

VICTORY!!!

Posted on March 3, 2019 in Uncategorized

The state of Utah has intercepted Andy Esquivel’s 2018 tax refund on February 27th and used the cash to pay off the victims of his Xtagged scam. Because of this blog, Andy’s victims have been repaid in full with interest!

Thanks Andy, on behalf of Ryion, Kyle and Chris. This website will remain in perpetuity as a monument to your fraud and to the stupidity of your accomplices.

Andy Esquivel invents lockable Pez bottle dispenser for dangerous meds (while in a mental institution)

Posted on October 29, 2018 in Uncategorized

Andy just posted the details of another one of his silly inventions on his Facebook page.  Here are the details, un-edited. Note: this ridiculous idea came to Andy while he was locked away in a state mental institution.

Sean D. Reyes I will replace this picture with video of me opening poor mans patented sealed envelope I sent myself of pill bottle invention @ Utah State Hospital May 30, 2014 but you must hear the story behind the invention first. When corrupt Davis county public defenders & prosecutors held me in jail for 119 days before sending me to corrupt Utah State Hospital director MIke Cox. I knew of another Davis county inmate that was ordered to U.S.H the same day as me but they transported him within a week not 119 days and you know what happens at 120 days, I get the right to ask Judge “what’s up” & I did write Judge Connors a letter @ 114 days I do have copies of all the letters I wrote Judge Connors because I had inmates make human copies that I sent to Judge Connors from within the jail & I kept all the originals and sent them all out with inmates (Vince Rosana Hernandez etc.) that got released & Allen Brady would give them a ride home as a thank you. So when I finally got transported to U.S.H I was screened by Dr. Z, I can’t put full names at this time Dr. Z gave me test and I easily passed so she gave me another, I PASSED! Dr. Z then looked at Mike Cox and said what’s going on why is Mr. Andres Esquivel here, Mike said try ******* test and she did so, I PASSED! Dr. Z then starts to argue with Mike Cox and I was told to go back to my room. I was telling everyone that worked @ U.S.H “I am innocent I have been on the news for my inventions you all can see news videos @ WiserTechnology.com” and they were pulling out smartphones instantly except for Mike Cox of course & to make a long story short Dr. Z proved to me I could trust her & at 60 of the 90 days evaluation Dr. Z was replaced by Dr. Vitco but Dr. Z had given me a treat & told me if they try to give me meds say no and ask to see the USH board, you can get board minutes & I was put in the same room as ******** the man whom I invented pill bottle with May 30, 2014 I found him immediately upon my arrival to USH and I asked him if there were no beds available because that’s what MIke Cox was telling Sindy Manzano, Jobita Berriel, Allen Brady every time they called USH & asked why I was still in jail and ******** laughed and said that was a lie by MIke Cox. Beds were available the whole time but the sad thing is ******* should not have had a bed himself and I will tell you why, ******** would never give me his last name he would say can’t it’s against the USH rules & he was right I asked the desk workers and they said only first names with patients. ******* had job in cafeteria & got an extra hour outside to play with his baton & a lot of extras that don’t need to be mentioned at this time & when I asked him about it he said Mike Cox hooked it up for his dad a speaker at BYU and I knew I needed to find out why. So I decided to prove WiserTechnology.com saying “Desperation breeds creativity” and ******** asked, “What is that DBC?” BINGO! I told ******* it’s the mother of invention, wanna try and he said YES! So I asked him why he went to jail and ended up at USH, ******* then preceded to tell me his case step by step “I took 12 ambien pills & I stabbed my friend with a seven inch knife” I was like wow let’s invent something so that this does not happen to anyone else & the first thing that entered my mind was a PEZ dispenser. I remembered that my grandma Ofelia Esquivel would get mad at us as kids for eating all the PEZ candy within minutes of her giving us PEZ dispenser haha and I told ******** think of a PEZ dispenser that locks with your smartphone app so your kids can only access one when you unlock or say its time to enjoy a candy one at a time or two if you approve but on an adult level and his eyes went BOOM a pill bottle like that would make millions and I told him I will share this invention with you but we must draw up idea, make contract and sign our full names so we can make poor mans patent and self mail from hospital. Please note zip code of USH and the zip code stamped on envelope I will explain what MIke Cox was doing on Facebook live 10.31.2018. After we received letter back from MIke Cox ******** trusted me and told me his dad made arrangement with MIke Cox to keep him in USH as long as possible because he knew ******* was going to be sentenced to seven years in prison & USH time is time served so ******* could avoid going to prison. (More to come, I have phone call)

Sentencing set for 9/18

Posted on September 13, 2018 in Uncategorized

At a court hearing on September 4th, Andy Esquivel admitted to all allegations enumerated in the order to show cause submitted by the prosecutor at his last hearing.  Andy of course gave the court some bullshit sob story about having vertigo, suffering from “panic attacks” and not being able to work full time, but the court wasn’t having it.  Judge Connors gave Andy a direct order to produce a financial affidavit and a plan to pay off restitution five (5) months ago.  He did not comply.  The prosecution asked for 30 days in jail to “get [Andy’s] attention” and to revoke and restart probation.  The prosecutor made it plain that Andy “has not made restitution payments a priority in his life”.

The fact is, Andy stole a lot of money – $20,000 from these victims alone!  No sob story is going to change the fact that he has taken money illegally and needs to pay it back to stay out of jail.

Judge Connors told Andy point-blank that he will send him to jail for failing to comply with a court order to produce a financial affidavit and a plan alone! A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for September 18th at 9:15am.  At that time, Andy needs to produce a plan to pay back restitution in full or he will be going to jail…period!

Courtroom audio attached to this post for your enjoyment.  It’s pretty pathetic.  How sad must it feel to be a broke, barely employed, convicted felon with no skills, no education, four kids living with you and three more who won’t speak to you, a persistent substance abuse problem, more bills to pay than you can afford, and nothing to look forward to in your life except more heat from the courts. Poor Andy’s life sucks so badly that he is forced to live in a constant state of mental delusion, pretending that the FBI and Attorney General give a damn about his life.  …poor dumb schmuck!

Andy in violation again…

Posted on August 27, 2018 in Uncategorized

111701135-violation_082718

Here’s the latest violation report fro Andy Esquivel.  Once again, not paying his restitution.  Court review coming up real soon.  Bad timing.

New, more powerful server…

Posted on August 13, 2018 in Uncategorized

The last time we upgraded the Xtagged.co server was July 22, 2015.  I decided to opt for another upgrade…

This site is now sitting on an 8-core 3.8Ghz dedicated server with 16GB of ram, a 500GB primary SSD and a 1-terabyte secondary drive.  For comparison, note that PartyUtah.com (when I owned it) was hosted on a dual-core 2.4ghz dedicated server with twin 250GB drives and 8GB of ram.  Needless to say, the new server is MUCH more powerful!

Andy’s probation being revoked

Posted on June 5, 2018 in Uncategorized

Well, it’s official: Judge Connors today signed an order putting Andy on notice that his court probation is being revoked.  The order to show cause states flatly that Andy has not complied with the terms of his probation, has not paid required restitution, has not complied with lawful court orders to provide financial disclosures and a plan to pay victims back, has shown nothing but contempt for the court and it’s officers, and now has 90 days to “show cause” why his probation should not be revoked.

If Andy cannot explain to the court why his probation should not be revoked by September 4th, 2018 at 8:30am, then the original sentence will be imposed on Andy and he will be facing up to five (5) years in prison for the two felony counts of securities fraud that he plead guilty to.  No “misdemeanors”, no “payment plans”, no deals…period!

The court gave Andy a lot of rope.  They put him on probation with AP&P, but he screwed that up by antagonizing probation officer after probation officer until Roman Hentish finally called him out on his crap.  The court then agreed to court supervised probation, but Andy couldn’t handle that either.  Now, it’s finally over.

Order to show cause

Andy and his minions remain in denial.  witness this recent post by one of Andy’s Facebook friends…

It is obvious from posts like this one that the delusions continue. Of course none of Andy’s cronies shows up for court onJune 5th, and even if they had, demanding that I be “called to court” would have done nothing to save Andy.

It is very likely that Andy Esquivel will eventually g to jail for his crimes.  If he’d simply cooperated form the start, he’d already be released and he could g on with his life…but he didn’t.  Andy still insists that he “didn’t sell no securities”, even though his court pleading clearly states that he did.  The mental illness couldn’t be more clear.

And so we’re coming to the end of this saga.  It’s been fun to write about, but I’m glad it’s almost over.

April 3rd Hearing Audio released

Posted on April 12, 2018 in Uncategorized

Yesterday the courts released the latest courtroom audio for the probation review hearings of Andy Esquivel.   To put it mildly, the court is starting to lose patience with this pathological lying sociopath.  Here’s the latest case update [PDF] and here’s the audio from the April 4th hearing [MP3]

In a nutshell, Andy hasn’t been making his payments.  He claims that he stopped making payments because he was forced to pay $1,000 per month in child support, but that’s a lie.  He was making $500/mo. child support payments, but that stopped in January.

Andy’s attorney tried to plead for leniency, but that was doomed from the start because unfortunately for Andy, the prosecutor brought a screen shot of a Facebook post Andy made after the last hearing in which Judge Connors cut Andy a little slack and it was damning to say the least.

After the prosecutor read this ridiculous post, in which Andy threatens to open up a can of whup-ass on the prosecution and brags about taking the court for a ride with a made-up story about his daughter needing emergency surgery, the prosecutor asked the judge to order that Andy hand over complete financials, tax records, and a written plan as to how he intends to pay his victims back.

Andy tried to explain his way out of this hole, but it was too late.  Judge Connors had finally had enough!  The Judge ordered Andy to comply with the request of the prosecution and to do so by June 5th, 2018 or else.  At the end of the audio you can hear Andy gulp audibly as he realized his probation was about to be terminated, his plea deal invalidated, and that the full weight of his crimes will soon be on his shoulders to bare alone.

Time is up for Andy.  On June 5th, he needs to start getting serious.  The court has played games with this con-artist for seven years and they’ve finally decided not to play anymore.

…Stay tuned!

Andy skips payment – now in violation…again!

Posted on November 28, 2017 in Uncategorized

Andy is now in violation of his probation…again.  In September, the court gave Andy a two-month reduction in his restitution payments from $500 to $250 per month.  He paid in September to avoid going to jail right away and promised to pay $250 in October, then to go back to $500 in November.  The court agreed to give Andy a temporary reduction because Andy claimed his daughter had a “orthodontic emergency”.

Bottom line, Andy skipped the reduced October payment and is not late on the November payment as well.  That’s a bad thing.  According to the violation report, Andy has until October 4th to come current or he will be forced to appear again before Judge Connors and explain why.  Note: “explain why” will be an especially difficult task this time because (a) the judge displayed incredible leniency in granting Andy a two month reprieve in the first place and (b) Judge Connors said very clearly in the last hearing that Andy needs to accelerate his payments and/or come up with a way to pay the full restitution in bulk soon or else.  Andy walking into court and claiming that he needs even more time and more leniency to pay his obligations isn’t going to go over very well.

Here’s the violations report [PDF].

I’ll post again after October 4th when the court decide what to do next.  It’ll probably start with a warrant for his arrest.

UPDATE: Andy called the court on December 4th (just in the nick of time) and explained that ORS is now garnishing 50% of his wages and so he can’t make payments anymore.  Andy was told to contact Judge Connors if he’s seeking a different order to pay (not likely to be approved) and to contact his attorney to prepare for his next court date.

Andy’s attorney explained that Andy will likely now be referred to the Office of State Debt Collection while Judge Connors decides what else to do with him.  The likeliest outcome here is that Andy will spend some time in jail (I’m thinking 3-6 months) for violating the conditions of his probation (again) and then OSDC will garnish the remainder of Andy’s meager salary (if he still has a job when he gets out of jail) to satisfy his obligations under case 111701135.

In the meantime, Andy STILL has not contacted the Utah Department of Securities (the “SEC” as Andy calls them) to make arrangements to pay the $16,250 he owes them for his securities fraud.  It seems the steaming pile is growing on top of Andy every minute.  If both debts go to OSDC before Andy works out a payment arrangement that he can adhere to, it will likely mean even more garnishments and more fees and Andy won’t see half his paychecks again until he’s 50!

UPDATE: Another violation letter was mailed to Andy Esquivel and Judge Connors has been notified of his most recent violation status.  Andy is no longer making child support payments, but has not yet resumed his restitution payments.  This will all likely come to a head at his next review hearing.

Andy Esquivel case update

Posted on November 17, 2017 in Uncategorized

This is an update for those who are still following the case.  You’ve already heard the audio file form the last hearing in which Andy lied to the Judge about his daughter having a medical orthodontic emergency and got a two month reduction in his payments to $250 but here’s the official court minutes file:

Review Hearing [PDF]

You’ll also note we’re tracking all of Andy’s account balances in the upper left hand corner now.  Andy has been making his court ordered reparations payments regularly and has even started paying back child support.  His total balance is about to drop below $45,000.

We expect Andy to be out of trouble with the courts financially by around mid 2020.  At that point, only the $16,250 he owes theUtah Department of Securities will remain…unless of course we as blog administrators decide to alert the SEC again so that they can continue their investigation. Because Andy’s fraud crossed state lines, this case technically falls under federal jurisdiction.  Also, the $50,000 that Allen Brady helped Andy steal from his mother Georgia Brady makes this a federal crime.

…but we’ll see.

Andy Esquivel – 9/26/17 court appearance

Posted on September 27, 2017 in Uncategorized

Andy had his September court appearance yesterday.  We’ll post the court audio from this hearing and the February 28th hearing as soon as they arrive form the court.

Case update [PDF]

Andy has been reasonably good about making his monthly payments, although he’s been consistently two weeks late.  He seems to be making payments with his girlfriend’s bi-weekly paychecks (there is no evidence that Andy ever got a job) so the payments have been arriving on the firs Friday of the month following Andy’s due date.  Andy did make a concession to the court on Tuesday by making a partial payment of $250 after his hearing.

As I write this, Andy owes $8,368.02 in restitution and fines from his two felony fraud convictions and $20,923.50 in back child support.  Both numbers are coming down steadily, which means that as Andy nears his 50th birthday he’s staring to grow up a little bit.

Keep up the good work, Andy!  We’ll keep tracking your progress until you finally pay off everything you owe sometime in the year 2019.

UPDATE: Here’s Andy’s explanation of what happened Tuesday…

“I provided a signed letter from Sindy ManzanoPrez Esquivels mother to my attorney that read “I have asked my husband for $500 for my daughter Prez Esquivel for orthodontist.” Now the PROSECUTOR says and I quote “Your honor braces, that’s cosmetic come on, these guys need to get paid its been since 2011 we want $500.” My attorney got pissed and says “Your honor, Andres Esquivel is not asking to miss a month just at least meet him half way $250 this month and $250 next month.” Judge ruled in my incompetent favor… Now I know Allen Brady is going to add Sean Reyes, FBI and media so let me explain to you why this is a story. I knew it was cosmetic and my request should have got shot down. Here’s the GOD part of this great day, ITS NOT FOR braces its for a retainer for an underbite to help my daughter talk clearer when she does interviews for Smiley Heroes. She WORKS for free she deserves this but I can’t say that because prosecution won’t tell judge Connors that the incompetent man that we sent to a 90 day evaluation has been on Fox13 news again for his inventions that he created while we incarcerated him. And not just that, I really wanted to do this for my daughter’s birthday next month so thank you God for touching Judge Connors heart and keeping me from opening a can of wup ass on that prosecution team because my daughter was going to get her retainer.”

UPDATE: The courtroom audio of Andy Esquivel’s 2/28 and 9/26 court hearings are now available.  See the links below:

• February 28th court hearing audio [MP3]
• September 26th court hearing audio [MP3]

No real surprises in the courtroom audio:  

In February, Andy’s attorney admitted to the court that Andy didn’t have $13,000 to pay the reparations and fines he owes.  The court therefore accepted an agreement reached with the prosecutor to allow Andy to make payments of $500 per month and to set a review hearing for September, before his probation period expired in October and Andy was sent to prison.

In September, Andy asked the court for a temporary payment reduction to $250 to pay for “emergency orthodontic surgery” for his daughter, at which the prosecutor scoffed that (duh) braces are not an emergency and the victims have been waiting since 2011 to get their money back.  Judge Connors granted the temporary reprieve, but made an ominous statement to Andy in the process.  In light of the fact that this case has been dragging on for over six years and that there’s still “…just over $9,000” left to pay in fines and restitution, Judge Connors told Andy in effect that his time is short.  He stated flatly that “…this is an old case – we’ve got to wrap it up.”  He added “…I encourage you to be out trying to find some way to to take care of this in a lump sum payment soon.”  

Clearly (very clearly) the court is running out of patience with Andy Esquivel and with this case.  Andy’s $500per month token payments are not going to tolerated for much longer.  Andy tempted fate by pissing of this probation officer.  He then baited the dragon by announcing to the court that he intended to come up with a wad of cash by last February to get this whole business taken care of once and for all.  He’s been on a very short leash, but until now he hasn’t quite comprehended just how short that leash is.  I warned Any on this blog that it was unwise to play games with the court…especially ‘chicken’.  If Andy had never brought up the possibility of a lump-sum payment, the court might never have thought of it as a possibility.  If Andy had followed the simple and reasonable direction of Probation Officer Roman Hentish, he would have had an advocate with the court who could plead his case and argue for leniency.  As it stands, Andy is facing eminent prison time if he does not turn up the heat and get his act together rapidly!

It’s a shame really.  Andy is finally making a serious effort to atone for his previous mistakes, but it’s too, too late, and after too many second chances for the court to want to hear it.  it’s time to pay the fiddler Andy.  You made your prison mattress, now you get to sleep on it.

Andy missed (another) payment

Posted on March 28, 2017 in Uncategorized

This is getting redundant.  Andy missed his March 24th $500 payment to the court.  Nothing unusual here – Andy never complies with any arrangement he makes with the court.  I’m wondering how long he can keep this up before he’s held in contempt.  It’s just a matter of time before they file another warrant for his arrest and drag him before the judge to explain.

It must suck to be broke and unemployed.

UPDATE: Andy made the payment (late) after all.  His new balance is $32,779.82 – including child support.  We’ll keep tracking both.

UPDATE:

• Child Support = $20,434.88.
• Restitution & Penalties = $8,384.57
• Utah Department of Securities = $16,250.00

Andy makes another payment arrangement

Posted on March 8, 2017 in Uncategorized

Here we go again..

Let’s review:

• Andy plead guilty to securities fraud.  He agreed to pay his victims back with interest.
• The court assigned Andy a probation officer to make sure he complied with his promises to the court.
• Andy failed completely in his obligations to the court and was dropped from AP&P.
• The court gave Andy a second chance, placing him on court monitored probation.  Andy agreed to pay $500 per month.
• Andy failed to pay $500 per month because he’s broke and can’t find a job.
• Andy gets $1500 behind on his payments and the court issues a $5,000 cash bail warrant for his arrest.
• Andy shows up for court and promises to pay the $13,000 he owes the court in full by the end of February.  Andy claims his “new boss” is going to pay the bill.
• Andy shows up for court at the end of February without the money.  Instead he pays $800 and begs for mercy.
• The court offers Andy a do-over, allowing him to pay his restitution, fees, fines, and interest in 25 payments of $500 plus a final payment of $195.  It sets a new hearing date of September to see if Andy is in compliance.
• IQ Test: What do you think is going to happen in September?

Poor Andy.  One of these days he’s going to realize that he can’t string the courts along forever.  Sooner or later he’s going to have to get a job and pay what he owes. it’s not that much money.  You would think he would just pay the bill and be done with it.  Oh well.

Andy Esquivel agrees to make reparations payments

Posted on July 22, 2016 in Uncategorized

 People have been writing in asking what happened on July 12th.  Sorry it took em so long to post this, but I’ve been busy with graduate school and haven’t been checking in on Andy’s case very regularly.

Most of you have noticed that Andy’s hearings have been delayed again and again.  This was to give Andy time to get a few payments under his belt so that he could argue that he’s changed his behavior and doesn’t deserve to be sent to prison.

It’s worked so far.  Andy made several payments in early 2016 and although he didn’t make a payment in June, he did make a $100 payment on the 12th and agreed to pay $500 per month until hes paid all his victims back in full.  A review hearing has been scheduled for January 10th to make sure that Andy has in fact been making his payments and is in full compliance with the conditions of his probation.

We will see if Andy can keep this up, or if his ego derails the effort.  To read the full text of his agreement, click this link to the evidentiary hearing minutes [PDF].  I’ll post a recording in a few weeks.

Allen Brady’s parents forced out of business

Posted on March 10, 2016 in Uncategorized

We all know Allen Brady – he’s the mentally challenged side-kick of Andy Esquivel who helped Andy con his mother Georgia Brady out of $50,000 and then instead of helping his mother press charges, worked diligently to help Andy avoid responsibility.

Allen, as we all know, spent most of his career driving buses for his parent’s company Serv-a-Bus.  Well, we’ve just learned (sorry we’re a bit late on this) that Serve-a-Bus and Allen’s parents were forced out of business by the US Department of Transportation in 2013 because they were deemed a threat to public safety.

U.S. Department of Transportation report

“Safety is our top priority and we will not tolerate this kind of callous disregard for public safety by any transportation provider,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.  “These violations are especially egregious considering the company was transporting students despite being ordered to stop all operations.”

“There is no place on our highways and roads for bus and truck companies and commercial drivers that ignore safety and put the public at needless risk,” said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro.  “FMCSA personnel across the country will continue to demand that drivers, vehicles, and companies comply with vital safety regulations that protect the motoring public.”

KSL Story – Former employees claim history of safety violations

This is a sad story and I hate to be the one piling on, but frankly it’s instructive since the lack of attention to detail that sank this company is the same characteristic that continues to inspire Allen Brady to defend a known criminal who defrauded his own mother.

Server upgrade complete!

Posted on June 22, 2015 in Uncategorized

Sorry about the website down-time last week, but it was time to upgrade my server.  This site is now sitting on a quad-core 3.3Ghz dedicated server with 16GB of ram, a 500GB primary drive and a 120GB solid-state (SSD) secondary drive.  We also now have a shared hosting satellite account for backups and offsite up-time monitoring.  You should see a significant bump in performance now as compared to the old server because the core OS is running on the SSD, which is about 10x faster than a standard hard disk. For comparison, note that PartyUtah.com (when I owned it) was hosted on a dual-core 2.4ghz dedicated server with twin 250GB drives and 8GB of ram, so Xtagged.co now literally has more horsepower than UtahRaves.com had at it’s peak!  Fun times.

Andy Esquivel gets desperate!

Posted on February 25, 2013 in Uncategorized

Andy Esquivel shows off this fake blogger post which he pretends is from me

Andy Esquivel is getting really desperate ahead of his pre-trial hearing on Tuesday.  He showed off his desperation over the weekend when he posted ‘smart-phone’ photos of a screen shot of what he supposes to be a post from me in which I allegedly tell him, Leonard Martinez and my mother to “go to hell”.  The image is obviously fake and I had a lot of fun picking the image apart this morning before work.  Here are some things to notice which prove the image was concocted by Andy, not a legitimate post by yours truly:

• First of all , the design of the fake post is meant to resemble the template of my GaryTheBus.Blogspot.com site, but differs in some important ways:  (a) the date is in a black bar at the top of the page, not in a tag in the upper left corner like my template (b) there are no social media icons below the tags section like in my template, and (c) the blog title has a purple underline like in a Word document, unlike my template on Blogger.
• The date of the post is February 14th.  Unfortunetaly for Andy, I didn’t launch my blogger site until February 22nd.  Do your homework, buddy.
• The grammar and sentence structure of the post are both horrible, which is typical of Andy Esquivel, but would be very unusual for me. “Rebecca Dunn can go to hell.  She hates my wife Shirley Acumen that’s why she helps Andy the con artist” sounds like it was written by an infant.  At the very least you need to hyphenate “con-artist”.  The second sentence is comprised of two independent clauses, so they need to be separated by a period or at least a comma.  The vocabulary is adolescent and needs to be brought up to college level.  …it’s just plainly obvious that I didn’t write this.
• The tags at the bottom of the post include things I would never bother to tag: “Bump.com is” – is what?  Why do I care about Bump.com?  “Cody” – why would I add a tag for my old administrator?  He’s a nice kid, but he’s moved on and is doing quite well.  Besides that, he has nothing to do with this Xtagged drama.
• The people I’m supposedly telling to go to hell are folks I barely know and/or would never bother condemning on a public blog post:  I have no idea who Andrew Couch and Mitch Thrower are.  I exchanged one email with Andrew Phipps, who promptly asked me never to email him about Andy or Xtagged again.  I’ve only met John Richards twice in my life; once for lunch and again at a GOP fundraiser for Mitt Romney.  John is a nice guy, so why would I tell him to “go to hell”?  My mother doesn’t support Andy anymore and has in fact provided us with a wealth of background information on Andy’s scams, so why would I still accuse her of “[helping] Andy the con artist”?  As for Leonard Martinez, as far as I’m concerned he can go to the Devil, but he’s a legitimate lawyer and not a “scam”, so why would I post otherwise?  As for Andy, well he actually can go to hell…

It’s interesting that Andy has become so desperate only days before his pre-trial hearing on the 26th.  I’m kind-of curious what’s causing him to panic so.  Trial won’t be for at least another month, so he’s got plenty of time to pack before prison.  What is he so riled up about?

Andy “Chicho” Esquivel’s liabilities mount!

Posted on October 9, 2012 in Uncategorized

According to the Utah Office of Recovery Services, Andres ‘Chicho’ Esquivel, the convicted felon who is the author of the long-con that is the subject of this blog, now owes $19,540 in back child support for two of his children here in Utah.  The amount has increased because of course Andy isn’t working and hasn’t paid a cent since officials first caught up with him in Denver earlier this year.  The amount doesn’t rise very quickly because Andy is being assessed at minimum wage in recognition of the fact that he hasn’t held a legitimate job in over a decade and therefore has no marketable skills aside from being a con artist.

Andy’s liabilities are mounting.  Here’s a breakdown of the money Andy owes to various scam victims, exes and family according to testimony, public records, and files obtained by this website:

• R.C. Willey v. Andres Esquivel, Case # 990400774 – 3rd District Court West Jordan = $8,673.22
• Knight Adjustment Bureau v. Andres Esquivel, Case#990204295 – 3rd District Court Salt Lake City = $1,537.69
• Utah Department of Recovery Services, Denise Bartlett Child Support Case #c000203702 = $19,540
• Davis County 2nd District Court Felony Securities Fraud case#111701135 = ~$17,000 plus interest and fines
  • Chris Englelbrecht = $2,000
  • Ryion Butcher = $5,000
  • Kyle Cluff = $10,000
• Georgia Brady = $50,000
• Steve Klemark = $5,000
• Shar Jenkins = $2,500
• Robert Daugherty – $1,500
• Aunt in California = $60,000
• Uncle in Colorado = $10,000
• cousin and her husband in Colorado = $10,000
• Melissa Garr = ~$100,000 (according to allegations reported by Andy’s previous criminal attorney and leaked by Andy himself)

All told, Andy Esquivel’s current liabilities are between $185,000 (confirmed) and $285,000 (unconfirmed) total!  Since Andy has no income and no assets, that is not a good place to be.  I am personally a little curious where all the money went, but I guess it really doesn’t matter.

I wonder what it feels like to be a broke, unemployed, deadbeat-dad who’s awaiting trial for felony securities fraud?  …must suck.

“Burning Down the House” by Talking Heads…

Posted on October 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

I was talking to a member of Andy’s family today and for some reason I thought of this video.  I’m not sure why, but this song makes me think of Andy.  It’s been going through my head all morning long so I thought I would share.  Enjoy!

Andy Esquivel doesn’t know when to shut up…

Posted on September 30, 2012 in Uncategorized

Andy Esquivel just doesn’t know when to shut up!  Here is a guy who’s literally about to go on trial in just a few more weeks for felony securities fraud and he’s still posting brainless garbage all over that supports the case against him.  Every month or so for the last several years Andy has claimed “this is my last post, email, video, etc. before court.”  Back then he usually meant some mythical civil lawsuit he pretended he’d already filed someplace, but now of course he really is facing an eminent court date and he still makes the same claim.  A few weeks ago Andy pretended to “sign off” of his Diigo account until court, when in reality he just created a shadow account in the name of Allen Brady.  Now he’s posted again on his own Xtagged Diigo account with this apparent apology for not being able to stay offline while his public defender reviews his case:

Sorry I know I signed off but you all had to see this screenshot! Now I will sign off until trial 10/24/2012!

The bottom line is, Andy will never stop posting about his various criminal activities.  I expect that in the next week or so Andy will plea guilty to the charges against him, and then will go on a posting spree claiming that he was forced into the plea by his public defender who somehow corrupted by the evil corporate forces that want to steal his now defunct Xtagged portal from him.

It’s endless fun to read Andy’s rants so I’m not complaining.  Frankly the more Andy posts, the more he discredits himself.  I’m curious to see how much of Andy’s online garbage actually makes it into the trial (provided Andy public defender isn’t able to convince him to plead guilty first).  The more the better!  It should make for a hilarious transcript.

Almost as hilarious is the endless string of people Andy continues to claim are going to be making special appearances at his fraud trial.  It’s funny that his lawyer is still reviewing the case, yet Andy is bragging that everyone and his mother is going to be called to testify – a decision his defense attorney won’t make until (duh) after he’s finished reviewing the case.  We’re still waiting to see all  the “media” who are supposed to be covering this case make an appearance.  So far not a single reporter has shown up to cover it, much less the movie directors who are supposed to be basing a Hollywood thriller on the whole affair.

Andy Esquivel is running from ORS!

Posted on June 28, 2012 in Uncategorized

Andy Esquivel is now hiding from the Colorado Office of Recovery Services (ORS) like an escaped fugitive.  He’s trying to avoid paying over $18,000 in back child support for two of his six kids.  Colorado ORS has attempted to pick him up at his house, but his mother lied to them and said he’s now living back in Utah…they’ll be back.

If they can’t capture Andy at his home, then they’ll pick him up when he appears for his pre-trial in August.  The arm of the law is long Andy – you cannot get away.  🙂
