If you remember, he would consistently lose 2 - 3 fights per month. This went on for a year or two, and he claimed to have a winning record. It was a crock of shit.

Pretty cool story involving The Cannon. Well actually more about how cool Guy Metzger is. I was at a local jiu jitsu tournament around 98-99 in Houston. Where Shannon entered the tournament. Regardless of his debatebal record and/or skill set. He was still a pro athlete who had no business competing against non pros. So, Guy entered the tournament and beat the his 1st round local guy and matched up with Shannon next, who he submitted and then quit, giving the local guy he beat his place. He only did it to beat Shannon who he said shouldn’t be competing anyways since this is an amateur tournament and he is a pro.

I remember posting the hand caught in the cookie jar from when Shannon was accused of embezzling money.He brought it up years later and it made me laugh that he remembered it.
Thank you for clicking my post. Let me start by saying a few years back, I was accused of some pretty bad shit, (stealing money) from a MMA Company That I had help start, becoming the matchmaker and even held the promoters license.
This was for a company called WFC Worldwide Fighting Championship, at the time of being falsely accused, I could not at the time defend myself. Now is the time I can come back and explain my side and even show proof that the man behind the attack, is now in JAIL waiting to be sentenced.
The man behind the attach is GINO CARLUCCI, AKA Gene David Odus. (just google Gino Carlucci) and you can see for your self.
At the time several years back Gino went on the UG, and made a statement that I stole from the company and the UG responded by saying really bad things. This was FALSE and made my reputation even worse. You may not like me as a fighter, but I have never done anything wrong as a promoter! I have never stole money nor cheated fighters out of anything!!
I am posting this becasue for several years people on the UG post pictures of the hand in the cookie jar etc, and I want the truth to finally come out.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TDD (202) 514-1888
WASHINGTON - Gino Carlucci and Wayne Mounts, both residents of Arizona, have been convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Department of Justice and IRS announced today. A federal jury also convicted Carlucci for filing a false income tax return in 2004. The jury returned a not guilty verdict for Carlucci on a separate witness tampering charge. The verdict came following an eight day trial before Chief Judge Kathryn H. Vratil of the District of Kansas, sitting by special designation in Phoenix.
Carlucci and Mounts were indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2010. According to the evidence presented at trial, Carlucci and Mounts devised several false schemes to defraud Joseph Flickinger, a tax return preparer, and Flickinger’s taxpayer and investment clients out of funds and assets. Flickinger himself had been running a Ponzi-type scheme in which he defrauded his investment clients of their life savings. At the time of Carlucci and Mounts’s fraud, Flickinger was under indictment in the Southern District of Ohio on tax fraud charges.
As established at trial, Carlucci and Mounts’s false schemes included a purported investment in a fraudulent casino project in Antigua. In addition, at the time of the charged conduct, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had frozen all of Carlucci’s assets due to his involvement in a civil securities matter in Utah. Carlucci and Mounts’s second scheme involved defrauding Flickinger and others of money that was supposedly going to be used to pay Carlucci’s SEC penalty. Carlucci and Mounts had a third scheme which involved helping Flickinger hide from the government monies that he had defrauded from his own investment clients, in part by Carlcucci and Mounts promising to wire the funds through a series of accounts in the Caribbean so that the funds could not be traced or seized by the government.
The evidence at trial established that after getting the last of Flickinger’s funds, Carlucci set Flickinger up to be arrested by assisting him in arranging a private jet to flee to Antigua, where Flickinger believed the funds were hidden. Instead, Carlucci anonymously tipped off the government to the scheme, causing Flickinger to be arrested. Carlucci and Mounts then used the money for their own personal benefit by withdrawing cash in structured amounts and transferring cashier’s checks and wire transfers to nominee accounts for their own benefit. In addition, Carlucci and Mounts spent over $150,000 of the funds to buy a 43-foot luxury boat that Carlucci later concealed from the government for over two years. Despite personally benefitting from the money in 2004, Carlucci signed and filed a false individual income tax return that failed to report any of the money he got in the scheme, and instead reported that he was due a refund due to the Earned Income tax credit. The evidence showed that the government located and seized the boat, which was being hidden at an associate’s home in Phoenix, in 2007.
Chief Judge Vratil remanded both Carlucci and Mounts into custody pending their Oct. 3, 2011, sentencing. Carlucci and Mounts each face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the conspiracy to commit money laundering conviction and a maximum sentence of five years in prison for the conspiracy to defraud the IRS conviction. Carlucci also faces an additional three years on the false return conviction.
