Jonathan Bergueiro, Jonny Bravo, Jon Berg, Jay
Complaint 350167 Details

The information provided here has been given through personal testimony and/or research. Anything described can be supported by documents and if an assumption is made it will be stated as such. This information is to help those who have been a victim of Jonathan Jose Bergueiro through theft and/or fraud and to prevent him from doing so in the future.
?
First Jonathan will be introduced and the facts provided. Then the reason why this criminal is not in jail will be shared. This is in an effort to help victims and to prevent others from becoming victims. This site is created for the sole purpose of helping those that Jonathan has stolen from and to keep him from stealing from anyone else.
?
?Due to the fact that a birth certificate could not be obtained the date of birth is stated from marriage licenses and driver's licenses taken out in Jonathan's name.
?
The first documented fraud that Jonathan committed was on January 29, 2002. This fraud was actually against the U.S. Government. He was paid to marry a woman from Argentina, so that she could receive her green card. He would divorce her in 2007, when she was pregnant. These records can be found in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Signa Investments brought a case against him and his wife in 2003.
?
In 2005, Jonathan moved to Philadelphia to run a con on a woman we will refer to as Coo and left her and her friend in financial debt. It is unverified if Coo knew he was married. At this time Jonathan was going by many different names.

After living in Philadelphia he moved back to Florida and started Think Entertainment Inc. In 2006, a case was won against him for eviction.

In 2007, Jonathan started to go by the name Jonny. The year of his divorce, he began dating a woman, who would become his next victim, we will refer to her as Nee. It is not known if Nee knew he was married.

In May of 2007 he worked for a restaurant called Afterglo and would scam them. 

Jonny began working for Templeton Financial Group until he left in 2010. The license he got there is no longer valid.

In February of 2010 Jonny filed a claim with an insurance company for stolen property. It is assumed that Jonny stole the items and pawned them himself. The items he listed, that were taken during a home invasion, were a home computer, a laptop, an ipod, and Nee's purse.
?
Jonny Bravo, the name he had been going by, started Presidential Capital Group. This company would be dissolved by 2011; however, checks would be written from it through 2013.

Jonny claimed that he and Nee were engaged and living between Florida and New York. He claimed to have taken care of her mother and that he was the best thing that ever happened to either of them. He painted himself as Nee's mother’s caregiver and said that Nee’s mother had been sick for a long time. Upon discovering the obituary the documentation said her death was unexpected, in 2011. Upon further investigation it was discovered that Jonny had stolen his soon to be mother-in-law’s life savings, his fiancé’s jewelry and pocketed the money for the funeral. He gave the funeral home a fake tracking number for the payment he had never sent them.
?
The funeral home's website: ippolitofuneralhomes.com. See if they ever heard from Jonny Bravo or Jonathan Bergueiro in 2011. Entering into a financial contract and providing false tracking information for a check or payment that was never made would seem to fall into the category of criminal fraud. The funeral home may not disclose all information as the service was held for someone other than Jonathan. 

Again, it is unclear exactly what transpired but Nee was forced to declare bankruptcy due to Jonny’s deceit, fraud and criminal activity. He also defrauded many of her friends and still owes them money. During this time another case was brought against him for non payment. The owner had to declare bankruptcy and close his business. The charges were dismissed due to lack of prosecution. 
?
Not one to slow down, Jonny, was on to his next victim. At some point he actually got caught and was arrested in 2012, in Florida. He claimed to have gotten into trouble, "the federal kind". This could have been in relation to his company Presidential Capital Group. This is when he began to make travel plans. Jonny claimed he was the host of a new show called, "American Gypsy". This was his reason for traveling everywhere. 
?
Jonny began his journey defrauding and victimizing anyone he could along the way. During this time he even defrauded an organic farm group. He hit up Austin, Texas, Spokane, Washington, New Orleans, El Paso, etc. until finally settling in on San Diego, CA. He scammed his landlords, his clients, his friends, his family and anyone he saw that he thought he could benefit from financially.
?
He would tell most people he moved to San Diego because of the show. That his business partner, Mukarram Mawjood, would stay in New York and run the firm. Mukarram, who Jonny had meet while working at Templeton Financial Group in Florida, was already in Newport Beach. Jonny had already set his mark on a girl we'll call Alex. 
?
He conned her into setting up a place for them to live all under the guise of love. He promised to transfer her money. She was even promised a job at his "company". She instead was left waiting for a transfer from Western Union for 8 thousand dollars and a negative balance in her checking account. All she felt she could do about it was cry. She ended things with Jonny in 2013. 

The next big hit was a woman who will be referred to as Zee. He stole from her. He lied to her. She even filed a police report against him for stealing her car. He would have probably still been with her but he was running out of excuses and had taken as much from her as he could. That’s when he chose his next victim. He would break up with Zee soon afterwards in September of 2015. He would, however, continue to have a physical relationship with her into November of 2015. 
?
On September 9, 2015, at The Library, in San Diego, CA that’s where he met the “one”. This woman will be referred to as Mee. Now, going by Jay, his story in full gear, his new con game began. Jay claimed he owned his own commodities firm in New York. He also claimed, his partner, Mukarram, runs the day to day office in NYC while he trades from CA. His story is that he is semi-retired and to fill up his time works for San Diego Jet Ski during the day.
?
He shares how he sold his condo at the W in Miami and bought his condo on Lexington and 73rd. He has pictures, bank statements, stories, everything to support his statements– no matter how wild. He gives out his full name and a Google search returns nothing. Jonathan Joseph Bergueiro.
?
Jonathan Joseph Bergueiro paid to have searches blocked and personal information taken off the internet so that an internet search on his name would come back with little to no information on him. He stated that his identity was stolen so he does not want it to happen again, so he is careful about giving out information.
?
As Sweetheart scams go, Jay married Mee. He attached himself to her friends and family. He promised them everything. He routinely tried to get Mee to quit her job. He was up "trading" every night.
?
Mee has student loan debt, and through her savings and being paid back a large debt she wanted to pay off her loan to save over $100,000 in interest. Since Jay claimed to be a commodities broker and financial advisor, he wanted to help Mee out and met with third and fourth parties to discuss the payoff terms and agreements. Instead of paying off the loan, as was agreed upon, Jay put the loan in forbearance and stole over $58,000. He also stole over $10,000 in personal property, wrote $19,000 in bad checks, accrued $6,000 in additional interest on the student loan, and owed $15,000 in rent and utilities.
That’s over $108,000 USD worth of damage he did in just 6 months, to one person.
?
Mee filed a police report and an annulment as soon as she found out. She even located the pawnshop where her stolen property was. It has been over a month and the San Diego Police Department has yet to give her a letter to authorize her to pick up her property. They are still working on getting this letter. 
?
The San Diego Police Department has yet to officially press criminal charges on Jonathan for the theft of Mee's property and money. Financial criminals know that their cases are hardly ever prosecuted so they continue their criminal activities. Victims are embarrassed and hurt by what they have experienced and are reluctant to come forward. The legal system often does not do much to help. As a result, it is important to report the crimes to keep a record of what is happening. A full story of Mee’s experience of dealing with the system will be shared in the future.
