    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Perfect Predators (Manny Frade) - Scammer on Breeding Loan

Would one be justified in thinking that if he cannot provide the original snakes or just compensation that it could be considered another scheme and therefore violating his parole? Melinda?

I don't know. Perhaps people who he's ripped off over the years should get together and approach the prosecutor. IIRC in Florida a pattern of fraud totaling over $20k is a felony. It would certainly suck for Manny if he had a longer stint in prison...

Although I will not reveal names - 4 people PM'd me stating similar stories of scams and lies. One person, Manny owes over $30K to. Another, scammed for an animal that did not have the promised genetics. We have only heard a small portion of what out there and until (eventually) more come forward he will continue to be in business. He is a moderator for the Boa Aficionado page on Facebook and controls the posts there. He has silenced many attempting to reveal the truth. More people need to know about the BOI.

LOL not from prison he isn't. Other mods may be covering for him but I found the rules, he has no internet access and very limited phone calls from prison.
 
If it is confirmed he is incarcerated and has no access to his account here, it would mean he has provided access to another person and that has implications for the post and his account's future status here.

Assuming he is in jail, agreed. However many of the posts were edited prior to the supposed jail date and he took the time to post on here thereby acknowledging the issue between us. Either way - a sad state of affairs.
 
Someone is posting from his Facebook page. I suspect a family member or a friend.

Apparently he is not in jail. He has been regularly answering customers inquiries and has been active via Facebook. Mr. Frade is choosing not to come here and acknowledge his wrong doing. To date - NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

Or his wife is running things in his absence. I have full access to my husband's personal computer and accounts, he has access to mine, and of course we both can get into the accounts for the business that we own.
 
I can't believe how many pieces of sh#t there are out there like this Manny guy. He has no care for humans or animals and someone like this needs to locked up and key thrown away or he needs to "disappear" on one of his smuggling trips. People like this will never be productive members of society so like a business venture gone bad u need to cut all ties to it and throw it out like the trash it is. I'm sorry this happened to u Victor and if u served our country I'd like to say thank you first hand for protecting us over seas.
 
According to records, Manny is not, currently, incarcerated.
He is on probation (community control - prob.) until 02/25/2028.

On record, at the FDC (Florida Department of Corrections), Manny's status is listed as "Active".

Here are the definitions from the FDC:
Active - offender is being actively supervised by the probation officer in the community.
Active Suspense - offender is temporarily unavailable for direct supervision during the supervision term, due to being in custody in jail or another facility, but is still being monitored by a probation officer for release, arrest, etc.

Thanks for clarifying. This was what I thought it meant, but I was unsure. At any rate, he is actively advertising high-dollar boas on Facebook, and I believe moderating his group, "Boa Constrictor Aficionados."
 
Victor,
If this is correct:


"Defendant Sentenced for Operating a Boiler Room in Broward
County On February 25, 2016, Manuel Frade pled guilty to one count of scheme to defraud and one count of securities fraud (Chapter 517.301, F.S.). On the same date, Frade was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to two years of prison to be followed by 10 years of probation. Frade was also ordered to pay $438,334.00 in restitution, $100,000 of which was paid immediately."



Again, if the above is true, it would be as simple as finding out who his probation officer is, contacting him/her, letting him/her know about what transpired between you & Manny.

At that point, I'd bet dollar to doughnut holes, Manny starts jumping through hoops, too take care of you.

If you need help finding out who his probation officer is, just email me, I'll help!

Best of luck to you Victor!

Victor,
Again, you need to find out who his parole officer is, finding out who that is, will definitely put a catch in his get along.

Finding the parole officer is as simple as finding out where Manny lives, and contacting the parole office in that area. If not at that office, guaranteed they'll direct to the right office.

Again, If you need my help, just email.

Best of Luck to you, Victor!

It was pretty much that simple for me. In the not-too-distant past, I was having an issue with a transaction that happened to involve a parolee. Hoping to keep some leverage in my back pocket, I called his county's Probation/Parole office and told the receptionist that I was having an issue with someone under their office's supervision. Asking nothing more than the guy's full name, she happily gave me his PO's name and phone extension.

Not sure how much a PO would really choose to do about a situation like this - especially one that began well before his incarceration - but even if it amounts to nothing more than pissing in Frade's Cheerios by subjecting him to a little more official scrutiny, 5 minutes on the phone is a small price to pay to find out.

Thank you very much for the kind words; it is beyond appreciated. Luckily there are some wonderful people in this hobby such as Lucas Matlock, Mike @ Basically Boas, Alex @ Boa Republic and countless other professionals that more than make up for one "bad egg."

God bless you and thank you for your support.
