A real estate investment guru who hosted a radio talk show and investing seminars was arrested in Dallas on fraud and identity theft charges, the FBI said.

Clifford Wayne Robertson, 43, of Murphy, Texas, was taken into custody Friday in Dallas by the FBI. He is accused of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft for allegedly trying to obtain financing since 2007 using someone else's personal information.

Earlier this year, TV station WFAA in Dallas aired complaints from several people who claimed Robertson bilked them out of their life savings. They described a man who built up trust using an inflated resume and operating under a host of business names who got them to buy property sight unseen. What they didn't know was Robertson also ran the companies selling the properties in terrible condition at inflated prices.

He also was accused of running up charges on his followers credit cards.

"You've got a one-man wrecking crew here that is crossing the board on all types of criminal violations -- whether it be identity theft, mortgage fraud, investment fraud, Ponzi schemes," Michael Anderson, assistant special agent in charge at the Dallas office of the FBI told WFAA earlier this year. "Our response to that is he needs to be stopped."


Robertson had been a host on CNN 1190 in Texas, and talked up his investing strategies on the show. The station is not owned by CNN. It is an affiliate. A spokeswoman for CNN said the network has nothing to do with station operations.The show does not appear on the station's schedule.

Phones at Robertson's business number all ring straight into voice mail. His Web site recruiting people to pursue loans through his firm, has no information on it about him.

A review of federal court records by WalletPop also found that Robertson filed for bankruptcy in 2003 -- showing just $8 in his checking account at the time.

John M. Bales, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, said Robertson appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Amos L. Mazzant . A spokeswoman for Bales said he is due back in court on Wednesday.

If convicted, Robertson faces up to 32 years in federal prison.

Dont mind them. . . .maybe nollywood should goa step forward by depicting them as who they truly are in our movies. . .since we appear to have a ;large viewership abroad

Hmmm. . .and what will NL folks say now. That he is also a "Nigerian"? Sh!t he aint even African.

The thing is, crime has no nationality. A thief by any name is still a thief. Finito.

this one no be even black american. . .na pure white man. . .criminal people. . .hia!

We too like to dey deflect issues in Nigeria. Im not sure anyone has said ONLY Nigerians are fraudsters. Infact my own opinion is that EVERY human being by default will think of doing the wrong thing before doing the right thing.

However, the proplem with Nigeria's situation is that the bloody thieves steal and absolutely NOthing happenes to them. Infact, after stealing and defrauding, they tell us there is nothing we can do about it!

Abi is it not the same Nigeria the the Attorney General is defending thieves? What happened to the wonder banks issue? How many people were arrested and prosecuted? What about all the numerous 419 cases involving 'big men' in Naija today? Any conviction?

Im happy you posted this story. The guy is a very popular guy and very well known. The case has not been swept under the carpet. He is in court and if found guilty, could spend up to 32 years in court. This will dissuade many others from even trying. In Naija, because if you have money, you can always get away with it, more and more people are encouraged to go into it.

Please, noone loves Naija more than Nigerians. But that does not mean we should be blind to the REAL ISSUES.

At least the man was arrested and will be jailed up to 32 years in prison for fraud. and that's the norm in the west for anyone found guilty of fraud. How often does that happen in Nigeria? How many court injunctions did Madoff take to get himself off the hook?

Instead of taking time out to fix the problems bedeviling your country, you're trying to also point accusing fingers. Absolute bullshit!

Youre the kind of nigerian that encourages the west to continue their campaign of calumny and agenda for destruction. .Do you know how many people have been jailed for yahoo yahoo in Nigeria?If you are misinformed why not visit the courts or prisons and inquire. . You speak as though American big men also spend decades in jail like the common men. . .do your research properly and you will see that bigwigs in the US usually come off easy be resigning from their high offices and plea bargaining with the feds.

You obviously dont know enough about these issues.
