  • Guenther Has More Legal Troubles In Arizona

    The de facto head of the ASD Members Business Association has more legal troubles in Arizona.

    Bob Guenther faces an araignment hearing April 29 in East Mesa Justice Court. Guenther, according to records, was charged with an unspecified offense April 2.

    Judge Mark Chiles is scheduled to preside. A court employee said she was not authorized to provide details about the allegation against Guenther, referring inquiries to J.W. Brown, identified as a court spokeswoman. Brown could not be reached. Calls to the media office were not answered.

    A docket entry describes the allegation only as a “New Case.”

    Meanwhile, Guenther is scheduled to make an appearance in Justice Court April 27 for a traffic violation. This brings to three the number of court appearances Guenther is scheduled to make this month.

    He was charged March 27 in what was described as a photo radar ticket. In such cases, a camera takes a photo of a vehicle allegedly involved in a traffic violation, and the vehicle owner is mailed a ticket.

    Guenther also is scheduled to make an appearance April 14 in Maricopa County Criminal Court.

    He was charged March 13 with two felony counts of aggravated harassment. Mesa, Arizona, police said Guenther repeatedly violated a court injunction for workplace harassment that prohibited him from nuisancing Cheyenne Mountain and Affiliates, an Arizona business.

    Despite the injunction, Guenther continued to contact Cheyenne Mountain in a manner that “harassed or threatened” the company, police said.

    Guenther violated the court order both by email and telephone, police said. An infraction that occurred via telephone was recorded and placed into evidence. Guenther said the recording was obtained illegally.

    ASDMBA is a group funded by members who had the expectation that their legal interests would be protected in the AdSurfDaily Ponzi scheme case. Federal prosecutors seized tens of millions of dollars from ASD in August, saying the company was selling unregistered securities and engaging in wire fraud and money-laundering.

    ASDMBA members said Guenther has refused to provide transparent accounting for ASDMBA, instead engaging in profanity, threats and menacing behavior.

  • BREAKING NEWS: Bob Guenther Charged With Two Felony Counts Of Aggravated Harassment In Arizona

    UPDATED 2:12 P.M. EDT (U.S.A.) Bob Guenther, a mainstay in the AdSurfDaily case and the de facto head of the ASD Members Business Association (ASDMBA) Trust, has been charged with two felony counts of aggravated harassment in Maricopa County, Arizona.

    Mesa, Arizona, police said Guenther repeatedly violated a court injunction for workplace harassment that prohibited him from nuisancing Cheyenne Mountain and Affiliates, an Arizona business.

    Despite the injunction, Guenther continued to contact Cheyenne Mountain in a manner that “harassed or threatened” the company, police said.

    Guenther violated the court order both by email and telephone, police said. An infraction that occurred via telephone was recorded and placed into evidence.

    “[Guenther] is being charged with aggravated harassment because of the multiple violations of the injunction,” police said. The investigator handling the case said in court documents that up to five separate violations of the order occurred and that Guenther “continues to violate this injunction.”

    The case is being prosecuted by the office of Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas. Charges were filed March 13. Guenther is scheduled to make a court appearance April 14.

    Read the criminal complaint for aggravated harassment against Guenther.

    Guenther is the de facto head of ASDMBA, a group funded by members with the expectation that their legal interests would be protected in the AdSurfDaily Ponzi scheme case. Federal prosecutors seized tens of millions of dollars from ASD in August, saying the company was selling unregistered securities and engaging in wire fraud and money-laundering.

    ASDMBA members said Guenther has refused to provide transparent accounting for ASDMBA, instead engaging in profanity, threats and menacing behavior. In recent days, Guenther has claimed that someone was impersonating him on the ASD-Biz forum, a discussion site for ASD and ASDMBA members and people interested in the case.

    Guenther deleted his account at the forum, an act that also deleted his posts. He then established an account under a different user name. Within hours threats and hostile language appeared under his new forum identity.

    Here is a post claimed by Guenther that appeared yesterday at the ASD-Biz Forum (italics added):

    Ill tell you how you move on, you can kiss your ASD money goodbye…

    None of you 10-12 idiots deserve a fricking thing but a butt kicking, certainly not my time

    Arons, Ill see your dumbass in court. You are a piece of work rookie, and when I finish with you, there wont be a place you can hide, and that’s after Friedman..

    This is Bob Guenther, my assistant, Maria will not waste her time again in this pissy room full of wanna-be’s, weak sucks, and overweight nagging women..

    You dont like what I say, do something about it besides talk.. Bunch of weaks sisters.

    The “Arons” to whom Guenther referred was Jack Arons, a Florida man named a defendant in a slander and libel lawsuit filed earlier this month by Dallas-based attorney Larry Friedman.

    Friedman is the attorney for the Trust and was was introduced to ASDMBA members by Guenther. Some ASDMBA members said they had turned to the Texas Bar and the office of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to investigate the Trust.
