Hi Charles,

You are not alone in this massive real estate investment scam, involved hundreds of millions of dollars.

I lost 35k in deposit at Playa Del Mar for these crooks, they kept promising the developments of the land but it never finished, now I cannot find them any more, their office is closed for good.

I have contacted a famous lawyer, his name is Matthew Sarelson, he knows them very well and he also had started the class action lawsuit against these crooks at Paragon, his law frim is Sarelson law firm in florida. the link is:

http://www.sarelson.com/contact-us/

his office phone # is [protected]

Please contact this lawyer or any one you think they can help you recover your hard earned money... such as General Attorney in Florida...the FBI...bring all your documents to the local TV stations to report, if they can not do it they may refer the cases to the main offices of CBS, NBC, CNN. ABC...We need to get this matter in to the air, so that every one will know.

Paragon properties is no longer exited, any one who lost money to this ponzi scheme is required to file reports to local law enforcement, state AG, and Federal Investigation Bureau.

We need to tell the FBI that Bill Gale is supporting the terrorists with our money and to buy drugs...he is in the missions to destabilize the US's economy.

There is a reward 50k for capturing Bill Gale death or alive...

Now I have discovered Bill Gale was transferring drugs between Costa Rica to the US and then to Italy where his base is... part of his operation was captured by the DEA, but this agency had no clear evidents to prosecute him, he lost his money to a drug deal, he then took our money to pay for his debts...

Please contact me by email at: tvlam59@gmail.com

I have received so many phone calls from desperate people who lost all their life savings but I could not answer them all, please forgive me.

We will find this guy and ask for our money back if he won't ...we will know what to do next, there's no safe heaven for him anywhere, until he returns our money.

Do not wait a second...report right away to the FBI and any one who is law enforcement officer...Bill Gale is disappeared with millions dollars he stolen from us.

I live in Phoenix area, Arizona. There is a TV station dedicated to help people who lost their money thru' bogus investment scheme like Paragon Properties, here is the link:

http://www.azfamily.com/news/consumer/

This TV station employed a group of investigators who specialize in finding the crooks, they are often better than the FBI, because they are people friendly, and they don't need to smell the money before they commit.

Please contact them ASAP...every body do it now...

Bill Gale photo below, report this man to the police...FBI when see him, he is armed and dangerous...

Any one who got scammed by Paragon properties please join me to bring this case on national TV, please email me so I can list your complains...

tvlam59@gmail.com

and leave me a voice message so I can submit it to channel 3 CBS in Phoenix Arizona...

These guys can run but they cannot hide...we find them with the help of news media...our government had ignored us...they never protect us the way we believe they do...they only go after drug's money...they only jump in when they smell money.

I believe Bill Gale had used our money to buy drugs, because only drug cartel like paragon properties can do it this way.

Let's report them to the DEA... Bureau of tobbaco and fire arms...FBI...CIA...TV's stations...whoever can help you.

Bill Gale photo below, report this man to the police...FBI when see him, do not confront him, he is armed and dangerous...

Likely hideouts: Sicilia, Italy, Venice, Italy

There is a reward 50, 000 dollars for the capture of this man in the photo.

This crook, cheated me out of $25K, and thank God it was not more. I understand why? the FBI has not investigated him and his gang of crooks. I know one thing, if I ever cross him anywhere, he will not ever rip off anyone else, I will make sure of that. If anybody has seen him lately, today is 7-1-2020, contact me at

Contact information for Bill Gale (William Alan Gale) Billy Gale is cell phone [protected]. He still uses this cell phone number and you can hear his voice as plain as day. He listens to all messages you leave and reads all text messages sent to this phone. He may or may not respond to you if you call but he has said to feel free to call and text anytime. PLease blow up his phone.
His part time residence where he and his wife live in North Miami Beach is 1921 Ne 205th St., Miami FL [protected]. Feel free to contact him there. The house is registered in his wife's name. His wife's name is Judith or Judi Shapiro. You can also contact him on Facebook under the name of Billy Gale. If you have trouble finding him like this, then you can find him as a "friend" of his wife Judi or Judith Shapiro. They are both friends with their daughter, Jill (K) Gale-Singer, and their son Joel (C) Gale. Please feel free to contact him through these channels. Barry Shapiro is Judi or Judith's son as well. Use all of these channels to get through to him. His lawyer he uses in Florida (besides the questionable ethics lawyer Charles Neustein) is Jeffrey Tew of Tew-Cardenas Law Firm. He also has very questionable ethics. You may or may not be able to reach Bill Gale at his daughter Jill's old or current address of 1825 Ne 197th Ter, Miami FL [protected].
His wife Judi likes to frequent the Boutique called "Jessie Boutique." the address for this Boutique is 20533 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura, FL 33180. You may be able to reach Bill Gale there possibly. any chance of personally reaching him increases your likelihood of trying to get your money back. Anywhere his wife is, Bill likely is. She also likes to frequent the other businesses, "On My Own Boutique", and "Lynn Goldsmith Photography", "One Day's Wages", and "Miami Cordage/Florida Wire & Rigging Works."
Please feel free to contact these businesses and tell them how you feel about their business establishment having clients such as these.
The Gales are also friends with the actor Peter Weller and in December of 2009 went all together on a lavish European Vaction to England and France and had the pictures of them all together posted on Facebook..this during a time when he supposedly had "no money." Please feel free, if so desired, to contact any of the agencies that utilize Peter Weller, such as "The History Channel" and inform them about the friendship that their paid actor has with a person such as Bill Gale, and tell them how you feel about that!
Paragon Properties has this year moved some of their land lots to another company called "Paradise International" and are/have tried the same thing that they were doing with Paragon. Look it up and spread the word to not trust this company.
finally, I ask that everyone chip in and help to warn people to not get involved with Bill Gale and/or his businesses by warning their associates/friends on social profiles...people need to be warned because you dont know who they will try to get to do business with them and get money taken from them with nothing to show in return. You never know who they will be legit with and who they wont be, and people in association with them should be warned so as they will not fall victim to the same as all of you!

I was so angry, when writing my comments above that I did not check my spelling, please excuse all the type o's... I just can't stand these leeches that live off of stealing from people. And they don't steal from wealthy people, not that that's any better, but some people can recoupe the losses, I've seen these thugs take individuals life saving; and not even blink an eye. Well let me not get started again.

Hello gentleman,
I worked for the person who is more than likely the master mind behind this scam; as with all the other scams that he, his family, and his crooked friends are always part of. This man is Stephen Tashman, he and Gale grew up together I just read on another sight, Tashman is smart enough to stay just ubder the radar as always and to keep his name out of things, probably in case someone has heard of him; as he any business ventures he has been part of are always a scam. Sad to say you probably will take a loss, Gale will be the fall guy maybe do a little time but the real crook will get away with the money and nothing but more bad publicity. The FTC, FBI, State attorney, has been onto and after this man for a long time... I testified against him and his fellow greedy thugs, and while I was in court testifing with him sitting right in front of me, he was doing the same thing under another company name, less than 2 miles where he had left 3 floors of employees standing in the parking lot who had come to work to find the doors closed and everyone & every thing gone. They take the money and run like the cowards and lazy theieves theat they are. Stephan Tashman has a chapter in a book "Fleeced". Julian & Lisa (tashman's daughter) Seigel are all cut from the same cloth. The FBI told me that Tashman knows how to stay in the gray area; when I asked how he can keep getting away with these things. Good luck to you all I hope someone or something will stop these lazy thugs from stealing other peoples hard earned money for a living. Hopefully one day tthey'll be making license plates in prison.
