When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

FAI case in Chesapeake


CHESAPEAKE, VA. (WAVY.com) -- The man accused of bilking thousands of dollars from consumers is now representing himself in court.

Court papers from Financing Alternatives George Christian are handwritten and he now claims he's disabled, but doesn't say what the disability is.

He also tells the court he doesn't have enough information to answer many of the state's allegations because he doesn't have enough information to confirm or deny allegations against him because he wasn't running the shop.

Christian also wants the court to remove from the state's complaint that consumers would pay FAI three times the cost they would pay if they purchased the computer directly from the manufacturer.


Yet I don't see the state going after RAC, BEST WAY, RENT America, Aaron's or any other rental company. if you rent to own anything from them you will pay 3 to 4 times as well, let they are not charge with fraud. Then again shouldn't the consumers also blame for this. Really, everyone knows you can rent to own computer from this rental companies, atleast with these companies you get free repair services while paying.

I just love the way the DA pick and chose who they go after. So why doesn't State goes after these companies, you get a computer from one of these companies @ 49.99 per week for 18 to 24 months, which equals to $3599 to $5199, yet if you buys the same computer from the companies or Wal-mart, any office supplies store from $599 to $1300, for the same basic computer you will get from these rental companies, yet no state DA is going after them.

Consumers for the most part of just STUPID, at least when you rent from a rental company the day you pay your first payment you get the item.
