There’s a guy out there called Basri Emini who would have you believe that he’s some sort of real estate mogul, and he wants you to buy into his vacation paradise for the low, low price of no less than $700, 000 US on up. But would you buy into a place where the CEO and developer has a history of unpaid debt, both corporate and personal, and flees the area when things get too out of hand? Yeah, me either. But some apparently already have, and others may be trying to take advantage of the low interest rates and special deals he may offer you, and to those we offer this information. All of this is public record and can be found if you look carefully, but as a service and as a convenience, we have presented this information for your review and consideration. If anyone’s copyrighted photograph has been used and you object to this site’s use of it, simply contact us and prove you are the owner of the image and we will remove it.
It seems at a young age, Basri was a wheeler-dealer as most 21 year olds do not own restaurants; clearly, the training of his youth is cooking. Here is a news report from March, 1997:

Man faces another bad check charge

Elgin — A former restaurant owner has been arrested again on a charge of deceptive practice, police reported. Basri Emini, 21, of Streamwood, the former owner of the now closed Grand Cafe on Villa Street in Elgin, was being held in the Kane County Jail Tuesday in lieu of $10, 000 bail following his arrest earlier in the day on the charge.
The charge is in addition to two previous deceptive practice counts against Emini, all stemming from his allegedly writing bad checks to companies that sold items to or performed work at the restaurant, according to investigators.
In the latest charge, Emini is accused of writing a $900 check to ACT Electronics of Elgin in September while knowing there were insufficient funds available.
===================================================
What strikes me immediately is “Another Bad Check Charge” — so this isn’t the first time nor will it be the last as we see later on. Other restaurants open and close in the Chicago area between 1996 & 2003, under various names and corporate entities; debts mounted and suppliers filed suits. Here’s the list of cases filed in Cook County alone:

Some of these cases may have resulted in payment, but we are sure that there are more than one on the list have not been, and will not be paid. Before some of these lawsuits were even filed, Basri Emini had already skipped town and set up shop in downstate IL. Here is a news clipping from November, 2003:

El Paso chef revamps family dining concept
Article from:The Pantagraph Bloomington, IL

New to El Paso, The Range restaurant is a combination of an old- fashioned family place with a dash of gourmet food.
Well, that’s what owner Basri Emini calls it. He also calls it a “unique fusion which will include quality food with homemade sauces, gravies and soups daily, along with first-class service.” It is located at 100 Delaney Drive, at the intersection of Interstate 30 and Illinois 24.
A resident of Chicago, Emini is spending his time in El Paso in The Range’s kitchen as head chef. He has been in the restaurant business all his life, and comes from a family of restaurateurs that includes his father, brothers and sisters.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Resolved how? If you read the stories at AmericanDeadbeat.net it's pretty clear that this guy is a gypsy conman who does not resolve anything, with anyone.
I don't get it. What has been resolved and how?
New update on the website recently posted: "According to the San Diego Sheriff’s Department website, Basri was arrested on October 22, 2018, and is eligible to be released on or about April 20, 2020. He has court dates set for February 18 wherein it appears he must post $50, 000 in bail as well as a follow-up date on March 24, which is probably a formality to check off all the boxes. It looks like he will be free soon."
WOW! Have you seen this? www.americandeadbeat.net
He's back people. Beware of his next venture...

Emini update as of March 10, 2017. Emini has been held to answer for numerous felony charges filed according to the DA's office in a preliminary hearing and a trail date has been set. I assume they are trying to plea-bargain and if none is reached it will go to a jury trial and Emini will have to take responsibility for his actions and will receive custodial sanctions.
"People take my word' Quote of Bas Emini. Jajajajajaja!
I just spoke with the detective handling this case, Rodriquez, and now Emini is facing additional criminal charges for making these fraudulent and ludicrous statements in an attempt to harass and intimidate witnesses and defamation. He just keeps getting in deeper and deeper, there are now 30 felony counts against him. Started out with 26. Love it! Funny he doesn't list the cases where he was sued by my husband and we won a judgment against him. He's also now facing a suit for defamation. And if you weren't Bas posting this from an anonymous poster, how would you possibly know the parties names? You would not. LOL! If you are a victim to his crimes and wish to come forward, the detective handling this case, Foster Rodriquez can be reached at 619.744.2579. Emini's preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 26, 2016.
Be very careful of Gregory Albertini. Don't get sucked into his lies and deception.

Catherine and Gregory Albertini's are a bunch of scammers. I don't know who this Boz guy but I do know that unfortchinately he now is the victim of Ctherine and Gregory Albertini. I have a good friend that is a wonderful reputable person that owns a very high end jewelery store in La Jolla and the Albertinis did the same thing to him and many others. I am 100% sure that all these statements they make online is only meant to harm this individual without any facts. I would bet my life that every single word that Catherine and Gregory Albertini say is a fabricated lies. Catherine Albertini is a drunk that drinks a liter of cheap vodka daily. Catherine Albertini is also know to put people down because she thinks she's part of this so called high society.
You are welcome Steve Duncan. He is likely rarely seen because he has either fled the charges, or he doesn't have income anymore to go out wining and dining on someone else's dime. It's my understanding that business is slow because he doesn't have any any more. If the deli(s) are still open, they are probably being run by tax receivers in an attempt to recoup the monies that he owes. If he has the money to hire an attorney, I'm sure the attorney will gladly charge him huge fees to represent him. If that attorney is smart, he will demand the fees upfront because Emini will rip-off the attorney if he is able. When we sued him, he burned the attorney he hired because that attorney called our attorney and complained about it. Kudos to law enforcement for dotting their "i's" and crossing their "t's" in this case and getting this phony player that dressed like a clown off the streets. He talked about how he had to pay cash for everything, and how badly he wanted to have a black American Express card. Legitimate people have credit cards, they don't pay cash for everything or use someone else's. If you are reading this Bozo, and I'm sure you are, hope you are having a good day!
Thank you for having the courage to follow up on Emini. He is parasitic and a predator. He is in East Village and trying to be a bully by asking around about people who may be on to him. We saw him coming thanks to this website and business is slow. He drives two black jeeps and is rarely seen anymore in East Village.
I wanted to add to my comment. After we discovered that Emini had opened an American Express account in my husband's name, another bank mailed us a notice asking if my husband had requested to open a credit account for a Visa account, for a so called "black credit card." Black cards are considered to be status cards for those that are trying to impress others, cards the tactless, social-climbing "new rich" use. Emini, armed with my husband's social security number and birthdate that was off by a decade, tried to further defraud us. He had applied for a black card in my husbands name to be mailed to OUR deli in Encinitas where he had even named a sandwich after his classless and conniving girlfriend, The Miss Alexis. We obtained a credit report, and he had applied for credit for at least 4 accounts that we were unaware of. He comes from a third world country, Albania, and his parents, that he proudly posted a photo of on Facebook, were peasants, dirt poor, poorly bred peasants that came to America from Albania. I noticed at the Chart House that Emini's sister that runs a restaurant in Illinois, and her husband, Jerry, had very thick accents. He also told my husband, to his utter disbelief, that he liked the restaurant business because he had access to so many credit and debit cards. Emini also used anger and intimidation as his weapon of choice against his many victims. His last victim I hear was an 85 year-old man that he took for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars, everything that he had to live on. The police have more than enough to convict him for years, but they think that there are many more victims and are hoping that they will come forward.
Emini ripped us off first after coming to San Diego from Mexico. He used our money to open his first Nosh Deli in Encinitas. We had an attorney draft a 22 page legal document which he executed. He agreed to run the deli and to match our funds which were about $63, 000. He kept making excuses for not matching our funds, and then as soon as the deli opened, treated us like interlopers. Subsequently, he fraudulently opened an American Express business account using my husband's social security number that he somehow obtained. He charged about $50, 000 in deli expenses and $8, 000 for travel to Chicago with his equally devious girlfriend, clothes, dining, gas, hotels, restaurants, air fare, and other expenses. My husband and an attorney tried to find out about his character on the internet before entering into a partnership, but there was nothing, it was like he was a virtual ghost. This was in the winter and spring of 2012 after I was recovering from almost dying from stage 4 cancer and chemotherapy and surviving odds of 5% where my oncologist told me I was to have no stress if I had any hopes of surviving. As soon as the deli opened, I found out that this site and others that reveal his sociopathy and corruption had been hacked and shut down with 39 or so viruses so that no one could find out about his criminal behavior. He was driving a black Jeep Cherokee that was stolen from Mexico from a car leasing company that had gone bankrupt. I am a professional writer and a businesswoman so I began contacting authorities and writing some serious letters. Emini realized that I was a threat so in May of 2013 my new Mac computer was hacked. I lost administrative control of my longtime gmail account, and my Facebook and Linkedin accounts were hacked. He got access at one point by sending me a phony email from Office Depot stating that I had placed an order. He had help from two ex-Apple employees that worked in Carlsbad near the Apple store there that used to frequent the Encinitas deli. I'll never forget his lowlife girlfriend from a ghetto in Chula Vista going on a three week cruise to Europe using our money. She is as crooked and criminal as he is in my opinion, and is fully aware of his scams as a co-sonspirator. When my husband was considering going into a partnership with him for this deli his sister and her used car-type salesperson husband flew out from Chicago and with the girlfriend all conspired to try to win me over because I was quite suspicious. We had dinner at the Chart House in Cardiff. Our judgement was impaired because, as a couple, my husband and I we were just recovering from the trauma of my almost dying, and the condition of my thinking from chemotherapy for a year. Emini knew this and has no shame. I've always thought that he has a death wish because of how brazen he is. He opened the American Express card months before we knew about it, and in November of 2012, American Express mailed a card to our home for an employee, that is how we discovered the theft. When my husband confronted him about it, Emini had the nerve to say "I didn't think you would mind if I had a little fun." Really? After the deli opened, I noticed that Emini was chain-smoking and alcoholic, a very bad drunk. Whenever I would go to the deli he would try to get me to drink with him, even in daytime. I don't drink. One day I went to the ladies room and when I came out he was doing something with my cell phone, this is how I think he initially hacked my computers and accounts. He also claimed to be Italian and Jewish, but once asked me if I was a Christian. I told him my religious beliefs were personal because I knew he was a sociopath at this point and didn't want him to know anything personal about me. This is when he told me that "Allah was the only true God." I believe that he is an Albanian gypsy, perhaps the Pinko clan. I could go on for days about this self-hating clown with zero class or integrity, a real coward. He once told my husband, "I'm not like you, I'm just a low-life ###." At least he knows what he is. We sued him and won a judgement, but he filed for bankruptcy. I was recently on a camping trip up to Big Sur to celebrate my birthday when my husband called me and told me that he had been arrested for multiple felonies for fraud, larceny, ID Theft, conspiracy, tax evasion, and others. The IRS called my husband sometime ago and said that he owed them as well. Apparently there was a secret service task force investigating him. They are even considering the RICCO Act. He's in some huge trouble and looking at being incarcerated for decades. He always had a lot of money stashed in case of arrest so that he could flee. I heard that he posted bond of $250, 000, or $25, 000 which I could not believe in that I think he is a flight risk. He'll buy a phony passport and probably run, but I'm sure with the secret service on his tail, they will love to tack on some additional charges when and if he does. What's ironic is that he could have made himself a lot of legitimate money, all he had to do was open 3 or so deli's and franchise them and make himself about $20, 000, 000. We were willing to do this, and this was our vision, but he is so corrupt it wasn't about the money to him, it was all about the rip-off. I just hope that the feds prosecute his disgusting girlfriend as well, she's as dirty as he in my opinion. Couldn't happen to a better guy huh? I know one thing, he will do some serious time, and he likely won't fare well in incarceration because he is such a coward and has such low self-esteem and is such an alcoholic and will cross the wrong person while sitting in there rotting where he belongs. I think that he thought that because he was from Chicago and that he was a Muslim that in Obama's America he couldn't be touched. Can't wait to follow this case and testify against he and his girlfriend. Ciao Boz.
If Basri is still running this restaurant and driving his nice Jeep and ripping people
off as has been reported, even after filing a bankruptcy, and using all sorts of
alternate names in various places - Basri Emini - Zize Z, - Bas/Boz - Basri Zize
(facebook) etc, why doesn't anyone get the Feds after him by now? Credit card
fraud, identity misrepresentation, bankruptcy fraud are just some of the charges
that could be considered, I would think.
I was just charged $653 on my debt card a few days after eating at his place in San Diego. It was called Nosh Deli but now he has changed the name to Carnivore Sandwich. My bank refunded my money but this guy is a scam artist. I have co-workers who used to go there on a regular basis and the employees would always try to get them to pay with cash and not a card. So the employees know what he is doing and obviously don't want the regulars to get charged. Also one of my fellow employees was charged a random $400 dollars from their card but didn't put the pieces together until after my incident. Theirs was from a random Jewish deli right after eating at Nosh. We are guessing he use that card to pay the Jewish Deli for a debt he owed. Reading the reviews on Yelp, others were charged up to $5000 on their card, so I guess he was feeling generous when he only charged mine for $653. I'm not sure how this guy can travel around and keep opening businesses and con/scam people.
Nosh Delicatessen is now being rebranded as Carnivore Sandwich. Beware! http://www.carnivoresandwich.com/locations/

trusted friend I think we know the same person, I am currently trying to help her recoup her money orat the very least make life very unpleasant for him so stay tuned
This fellow is a real piece of work. He conned a friend of mine into lending him $1, 000 on her American Express card - for last minute expenses involved the opening of his new restaurant back in April 2013 - he charged $9, 000 before she found out and stopped it. At least some things he bought got returned & credited back to the card, but it still has a balance of $2, 000 plus the interest charges up until November 2013. He has not paid a penny toward it since July (he was paying a little toward the interest charges). In the interim he used the info he got from AmEx to open another card in his company name under her SS# for $200, 000! Plus he has showed up at her door several times trying to get her to give him various sums of money from $7, 000 to $9, 000 "for Payroll or Supplies". He must be very charming since he convinced her landlord to give him a key to her gated community because he was "a friend & helping her out" so he could go right up to her door without being buzzed in! He has harassed her repeatedly as if SHE owes HIM something and angrily threatened her. The police have been no help - they seem to be backlogged and have given her a 6 month time frame before anything MIGHT be done on her behalf. AmEx says she is responsible for the charges because she gave him the credit card information. This man preys on lonely women, commits psychological abuse after befriending, commits identity theft / fraud, & GRAND LARCENY and has no regard for the pain & suffering he causes others.
Bas Emini, Basri Emini, Boz Emini, Bas Emani is presently running another restaurant, a small deli, con on a couple that have contacted the authorities, including the FBI.
