Joseph P. started two companies - Concepts Inc. in 2007 and Corp. in 2009 - and solicited $1 million in investments for the first but then claimed it had gone bankrupt. He operated Corp. for a year until an employee started a competing business. Joseph then filed for personal bankruptcy. In 2014, he started a new company called Now LLC but his past business dealings and bankruptcy are publicly documented.

Last known residence: Garden Grove, CA
In or around 2007 started a business called Concepts Inc. in which he sold artificial trees, grass, and
outdoor weatherproof televisions.
He solicited the investment of myself and several other individuals to the tune of $1 million
collectively; a sizable portion of it was from myself.
In or around 2009, created a new corporation called Corp. in which he sold his line of outdoor
weatherproof televisions. When I found out about this and confronted him, claimed that Concepts
Inc. never sold outdoor televisions, I was mistaken and it only sold artificial trees and grass. told me
I have no interest in Corp., nor the televisions. He also told me Concepts Inc. has gone bankrupt.
What a coincidence.
Corp. operated for approximately a year until one of his employees, Ryan , began running a company
called Toshinaer which sells the same line of outdoor weatherproof televisions. It is uncertain
whether used this as a way to hide his money and be paid off the books, or if Ryan branched off in
his own business.
After a legal fight, filed and received personal bankruptcy.

, the comedian
After learned of this website, he showed his lighter side. is well versed in the law due to his years of
experience with the legal system, mostly as a defendant. In the time that I knew him, he spoke
highly of his lawyers, one of which with whom he presumably consulted regarding this matter. must
have known that slander is a false statement which defames another person. Knowing that the
statements on this website are true, and therefore not slanderous, he sent the following letters to my
hosting provider, and my domain name registrar anyway. Note that he added the humorous touch of
threatening to get his lawyer involved.

My host and registrar immediately saw the humor in his letters and laughed it off, albeit politely on
the off chance that he was being serious.
What is up to now?
In 2014 started a new company called Now LLC.
Here is a cached copy (link) of his profile on
crowdfunder.com if he decides to take it down,
along with the fudged work experience. He can
ignore concepts, but a search for the last name ""
under the Orange County, California Business
Lookup says otherwise. We await to see what Now
will offer, but for now we will have to accept
now.com's "Appology Coming Soon" (8/4/2014) as
an answer.
