Ron LeGrand Reviews

SteadyFreddy   Myrtle Beach

You've seen AmericanGreed by CNBC. These people will be on it: LeGrand, KenGwynn, Ray Reynolds and the likes. You've heard of Madoff, well, these are mini operation. Create a corporation, by business/real estate, wait 6 months, then file bankruptcy... so what's the big deal, just create another corp... and another... as promoted by Reynolds "bucket of money". He claims the Donald (Trump that is) filed 23x, chapter 11, and yet is worth 4 billion... so if they can do it why not you, is that right Ray?

Here is detail on SEC action against Ron LeGrand, civil action. SEC v. Ronald F. LeGrand and Frederick E. Wheat, Jr., Civil Action No. 2:11-CV-0474 (S.D. W.Va.)

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on July 12, 2011, it filed a settled civil action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia against Ronald F. LeGrand ("LeGrand"), a founder and the sole manager of Mountain Country Partners, LLC ("MCP"), a West Virginia oil and gas company, and one of his former partners, Frederick E. Wheat ("Wheat").

The Commission alleges that, from September 2006 through December 2006, LeGrand and Wheat raised over $9.5 million for MCP from approximately 54 investors located throughout the United States through the sale of promissory notes and limited partnership membership interests.

These funds were raised primarily via e-mail and in-person solicitations from individuals who attended real estate investment seminars promoted and taught by LeGrand, and were used to purchase the land and other assets of a bankrupt oil and gas company headquartered in West Virginia.

At the time of their solicitations, neither LeGrand nor Wheat was experienced in working or investing in the oil and gas industry. Despite this inexperience, LeGrand and Wheat solicited investors by making material misrepresentations and omissions regarding the investment, including the degree of risk, amount of expected returns, value of the company's assets, and the guaranteed return of principal and interest within as little as 90 days.

In addition, LeGrand and Wheat failed to register MCP's securities offerings, although no exemption from registration applies. To date, MCP has been unable to repay investors the returns promised by LeGrand and Wheat.

I don't know who Ken Gwynn is but Ron LeGrand knows more about real estate then anyone I've ever heard speak. I have bought one course of his for $1500 and received lots of free stuff from him also. Creative real estate is sometimes misunderstood. People who don't do anything after buying something will get mad. It does not take a long time to make money in real estate if you know what you are doing. For the person who said they bought rent to own read your agreements. In most rent to own situations you are responsible for the repairs. Anyone can sue anyone for any reason, that doesn't mean he's a crook. As far as Alaska, I don't know anything about that but I'm sure there's more to the story. At the bare minimum, he knows a lot about real estate and all my dealings with him have been good.

My Name is Greg Gann (notice how I display my name in FULL) how is it that one can lash out at someone who they have never met in person or walked next too,or even in their shoes? But yet obviously make snide comments and opinions about.

Its obvious that while some have a legitimate gripe, others do not and still focus on showing readers their dire disregard for anothers feelings and real profits.

Let me ask you (the reader) 1.Have you dealt personally with said person? in this case Ron Legrand.
2.Have you purchased his Courses,went to at least one of his BOOT CAMPS.
3.Have you ever been to his company in person in Jacksonville FL and seen all the 1ooo(s) of pictures of successful students that have made money from his teachings.
4.Have you been to this mans house? Ate food,drank with him at his many get togethers that he personally and privately throws for all students of his, successful or not.
5.Do you at least know what individual car is his,the color,the make,anything.
6.Do you at least know anything that is FACTUAL that Ron has shared with you and no one else (((that wasn't read on some post some where else)))

People of Sensible Nature ask your self why are you griping and complaining about someone who has never wronged you (PERSONALLY)? is it because your bored or maybe your Jealous Ron Lagrand is Rich and your not, or maybe your just a Coward? Its Obvious your scared too leave your full name instead you type RS for robert smith when no one even knows who you are,COWARD

Fred, could you elaborate about what is going on with Ron's empire? ---Also Concerned...

Fred   Phila pa

Ron was heavily invested in commercial real estate. I have heard his empire is coming apart. He recently lost a parcel (large) at a tax sale.

I don't know much about Ron Legrand, as I have never purchased any of his books or attended one of his seminars. However, I do know the "COO" of his company. This person is a liar and morally and ethically deprived. The "COO" has lied to/ manipulated/ deceived me several times. This person does not have a college education, which is fine, but you shouldn't brag about your intelligence when it clearly isn't there.
Obviously, the "COO" knows what is going on and continues to work for Mr. Legrand, knowing his slum lord ways.
You can go to duval county clerk of the courts and do a public records search for his name- he was just made liable for 600k a few months ago via a lawsuit against his company, and another one for 4 million.
Also, you can go to sunbiz and do a company search through his name. He currently has approx. 50 companies registered in Florida-a BIG red flag for anyone who knows anything about business.
I just wanted to put this out there so hopefully one less person will be subjected to his deceit.
Hopefully, Mr. Legrand and his employees will wake up and realize that it's wrong to lie in order to gain. Making money takes years of hard work, ethical decision making and intelligence.
Maybe Mr. Legrand shouldn't brag about his lack of education. I think Ethics101 would have done him a world of good.

He is a definite crook and deadbeat. Don't do business with him. He recently scammed a business outside Pittsburgh. He is a lowlife and would steal from anyone. Be warned.

So Muddcat, before you preach again about your opinion that 'Ron LeGrand is a man of integrity', perhaps you should get to know him a bit better. My family has seen and experienced first-hand some of how he 'does business'. I see no integrity in how he conducted business with an elderly couple (ages 70 & 79) in Alaska.

Ron LeGrand boasts he's a 'millionaire maker'...so please enlighten me...if Ron LeGrand is so financially successful himself, why did he default on his payments owed for Salmon Falls Resort in Ketchikan, Alaska, that he owned for just a couple of years? The original owners of the Resort spent long hours over the course of 16 years building it into the finest fishing resort in Alaska. They worked their entire lives working hard, honestly, and earning the admiration of thousands of people.

When they sold the resort to Ron LeGrand and his two partners, that elderly couple carried the note - but their 'retirement' suddenly turned to horror in December 2008 when LeGrand defaulted on his payments. He filed Bankruptcy in Alaska in May 2009, resulting in a long line of creditors in Ketchikan, Alaska wondering 'Where's the money, Ron?".

I heard he filed for bankruptcy in Texas as well.

And why did Ron's restaurant, LeGrand's Prime Alaskan Seafood & Steaks, which opened July 2008 in North Myrtle Beach, SC, close in October 2009? Another indicator of Ron's 'house of cards', falling?

Sellers beware - when it comes to selling your property to 'big talkers', no matter what they say they're 'worth', your bottom line should be, 'SHOW ME THE MONEY'.

And Buyers of real estate info... well...perhaps you should research well the person(s) making you promises of 'easy riches beyond your wildest dreams' to get you to stuff THEIR pockets full of YOUR money, before you 'invest' in their money making seminars. I don't think the truly successful ones are having to file for bankruptcies and closing down their businesses. If they were really doing so well financially, they'd be able to pay all their bills and creditors.

Who is Ron LeGrand? The REAL Ron LeGrand? Ron LeGrand brags he's not only a millionaire, but has holdings of over two billion. He refers to himself as the 'World's Leading Real Estate Guru'. He claims his Global Publishing Co. in Florida has sales of over $ 20,000,000.00 a year. He brags about his private jet. He claims to have amassed so much money its obscene. He claims to have made $ 60,000,000.00 in profit on one commercial real estate deal. He claims he's sold over $ 50,000,000.00 in information products over the past three years. He likes to brag about the fishing resort, Salmon Falls Resort, in Ketchikan, Alaska, that he owns. What he doesn't tell you is that he purchased (on contract) Salmon Falls Resort in 2007. And after only two years of operation under his expert guidance and management, he has filed for bankruptcy (May 2009) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska
( http://www.akb.uscourts.gov/ ), Case # K09-00301-DMD.

Prior to Ron LeGrand purchasing (on contract) what he refers to as ‘his resort’, Salmon Falls Resort in Ketchikan, Alaska, the Resort was owned and operated by an elderly couple who operated the resort profitably for over 16 years. Through hard work and dedication, that elderly couple built Salmon Falls Resort into the most beautiful and finest fishing lodge in Alaska. Salmon Falls had an impeccable reputation with clients and vendors. I say, “had”, because Ron LeGrand, the 75% owner in the L.L.C. he formed with two partners, to purchase Salmon Falls Resort, destroyed that reputation in two short years.

If Ron LeGrand is REALLY who he says he is, not only a millionaire, but a billionaire, WHY did he file for bankruptcy? Why not just use some of his fortune he brags about to pay the Resort off? Could it be if he’s really the multi-millionaire/billionaire he claims to be that he’s made his money by being less than honest and by taking advantage of other elderly people? Or could it be he’s a master of misrepresentation and deception?

i agree with the comments of Muddcat and Contractor G. We here in MB know all about Ken Gwynn and no one will do business with him. Everyone in MB knows Ken is a fraud despite the big game he talks. Ron Legrand got out-scammed by the best scam artist of all time! We all laugh at Ken and know it won't be long before the Fed's do their thing.

Contractor G   myrtle beach

I did a lot of work for Ron Legrand and Ken Gwynn in Myrtle Beach and saw many investors lose money while they put money in their pockets. They both owe me a lot of money resulting in my having to file law suits against them. i agree with muddcat that Ken Gwynn has no superiors when it comes to cheating, lying and scamming. they ran him out of virginia, north carolina and we will run him out of MB. PS, Sam, Ken's $3M house and his office are in foreclosure!

Ron Legrand is a man of integrity but as a result of his association to Ken Gwynn, his VP, most, if not all investors have lost faith in him. among liars, cheats and scam artists, Ken Gwynn has few equals and no superiors.

Ron LeGrand is a crook who will take your money in exchange for motivational speeches and pitches for more money. His "information" is vague, immoral and sometimes illegal. You won't get anything for what you pay except advice on how to take advantage of other people and lose money. Don't waste your money with him or it will be an expensive education with little return.

Seems Mr sizemore is a disgruntled investor. Ive been in 3 deals with these guys and made money on everyone. Some people just dont get it

Sam Sizemore   Myrtle Beach S.C.

Any of you who have invested money with Ken Gwynn through Ron should ask him did any of your money go to buy his new 3 million dollar home he paid cash for in Myrtle Beach S.C..He tells people it came from Hope Plantation that he and Ron put in Bankruptcy and Gas wells in West Va. We know the S.C. State dept of rev is..
