Leslie Gaines is a criminal, a con man and an artistic failure. He stole business cash & assets from me personally, to the tune of six figures. Yes: six figures.
He has left a trail of many other defrauded partners behind him. I pity anyone who trusts him with their priceless time, credit rating, camera equipment, or vehicles.
In addition to those crimes, he invaded my home and physically assaulted me. He is currently hiding out in Montana, plotting his next big con job. Warning: do not ever, under any circumstances, believe one word this man utters.
He is a pathological liar. He sheds crocodile tears. He is a bad actor. He is a bad “filmmaker. He is a hypocrite, a racist, and a descendant of General Gaines, one of the foremost murderers of native Americans in this country’s history.
He, himself, is quite literally cursed by the Seminole and the Miccosuccee tribes — they have judgments against him for millions: he will never be able to own property in his own name as long as he lives.
I also believe he is suffering from early dementia. Or, just as likely, he has just rotted his brain with too much drinking & drugging.
He abuses women, uses & emotionally abuses everyone he meets, and continues to steal & abuse me emotionally by using my deceased brother’s name as a credit on his illegally obtained footage!
I pray that he doesn’t harm anyone else. Forewarned is forearmed.

I am so sorry you were victimized. White collar crime can do tremendous harm even w/o the kind of physical assault you suffered. Yet it seems to be increasing in frequency.

Thank you, and yes, unfortunately, I am not alone. I hear from others who’ve dealt with him.
