James A Harris is still selling 'schemes', promising he can make you rich if you just hand over $35,000
Boasting: James 'Jimmy' Harris has
multiple Facebook and other social media accounts and uses them to
suggest he can make people rich with courses apparently identical to the
ones Trump University offered
One of the main speakers at Trump University has brazenly carried on selling dubious get rich quick schemes even after the controversial college shut down.
Convicted
felon James A. Harris is hawking real estate coaching sessions that
appear near identical to those he ran when working for the leading
Presidential candidate.
The premium packages are even exactly the same price as the $34,995 VIP sessions that were sold at Trump University.
On
one of his Facebook pages Harris prominently features a quote from
crooked financier Jordan Belfort - the inspiration for the film The Wolf
of Wall St.
And
despite the controversy over Trump University, Harris still brags about
his links to the controversial institution and says that his time there
is his 'biggest claim to fame'.
You can be like me: The message Harris
pushes on social media is that he is rich - but he does not mention
that he is a convicted felon
Ownership? It is unclear exactly which
of the cars, including this Rolls Royce, which Harrison poses with on
social media are his. However his allegiance to Trump is: he calls Trump
University the best thing he has done
Trump University ran between 2005 and 2010 until it was shut down amid multiple investigations by state attorneys general.
Trump
was also hit with a lawsuit from around 7,000 customers who claimed
they had been conned into paying between $1,495 to $34,995 for courses
which were worthless.
Instead
of being told how to become millionaires they were told to increase
their credit limits so they could buy more expensive courses, the
lawsuit alleged.
Trump's
University has now become a major issue in his campaign to become
President and his rival Marco Rubio has said that it shows he is a
'conman' and a 'fraud'.
Trump has insisted that he does not want to settle the lawsuit because he can win it easily.
But
back in the 2000s he insisted that Trump University was full of
'terrific people' and that he hand-picked what he called 'terrific
brains' to run the institution.
The lawsuit has disputed that and said that the speakers had very little or no experience at all in real estate.
Among them was James Aubrey Harris Jr, 47, who goes by a number of aliases including Jimmy Harrison and James Harrison.
By the time he was hired by Trump University in 2008 he already had a conviction for aggravated assault, the Daily Beast reported.
According
to court records he threatened to kill his ex-wife and was so unstable
that when he went to pick up his children one day at school it went into
'lockdown'.
New day, new car: On Twitter Harris
describes himself as 'Moneymotivator' and his latest guise is 'Uncle
Jim', a financial guru who wants to impart his knowledge to the public.

Harris
grew up in Pompton Plains, New Jersey and now says he lives in Atlanta,
Georgia, though on social media he also claims to live in Playa Del
Carmen, Mexico.
Pictures
on one of his multiple Facebook pages - including
Facebook.com/mynewliferocks - are designed to make it seem like he has a
jet-set lifestyle.
