Ran across a post from a self-described private investigator that dives deeper.

If you've been in Sarasota for a while and not a transplant you would be surprised that a lot of scamsters, thieves, and bogus people are all around here, from Tampa to Lakewood Ranch, to Ft. Myers.


This guy was known back almost 20 years ago! nothing but trouble, another low-life BUILDER and contractor who landed here, knowing everything and stealing and lying. We remember the guy back in Tampa. What a loudmouth knowitall "home builder". The only thing worse than some of these "home builders" are "pool contractors" in lying and stealing.


For years and years this guy was tied up with the Russian mobsters mostly out of Northport. Just about every law enforcement knows about the crime, drug, prostitution syndicate operated out of Northport/Venice/Englewood. We're not surprised at all. That's what's all around this area now, lots of white collar criminals that constantly operate in the gray areas. I know I met his Russian "girlfriends" too many times to mention all around Sarasota. All a bit shady, or very shady. Welcome to Sarasota County and area.

Financial and other crooks are, and have been all around Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch/Manatee for decades.


Public record reveals all kinds of criminals:


SRQ Financial
Oasis Financial, Mike De Corta, sentenced to 30 years, fraud
Art Nadel, big time guilty of Ponzi Sceme, former NY KIdder Peabody and Pane Webber employee


Then there have bee glaring PUBLIC record examples of Bank Executives gone to jail for six years such as ex-CEO Jerry Williams of Orion Bank (acquired by Iberia, then sold to First Horizon, and then acquired in toto by TDBank)


This area is replete also with insurance company scams like LTC companies.


Again, this is ALL in the PUBLIC record.Builders, pool companies, HVAC companies, financial firms, plumbers etc etc etc they're all in there, believe me.

I met Sarkis Konsulian and the man is truly reprehensible. He's been known to be incredibly shady by refusing to pay his workers, stealing money, taking advantage from new immigrants and he's also incredibly abusive to his spouse. His daughter Julianna Konsulian is well known as a high class escort in the LA area although last I heard, she moved to Agawam, Massachusetts.
