The distrubing truth about a con man who continues to care nothing about the people he hurts.
It looks like our favorite con artist has returned (briefly, at least).
Rick Singer/Senninger/Lester/Wright/Whatever has resurface in Las Vegas. He can now occasionally be found talking with local businessman Danny Vegas on an Internet radio show.
At least, Rick was on the show.
After Lotus Broadcasting and Mr. Vegas became aware of Singer’s past, he was removed as co-host from the program. . .and all audio archives featuring Singer were removed.
Here in Las Vegas, like in many other larger cities, there are investigative reporters attached to a few of the local television stations. Among the most respect (or feared, depending on your viewpoint) is George Knapp, Chief Investigate Reporter for 8 News Now, the local CBS station.
George also writes for Las Vegas CityLife, one of several well-read weeklies here in town. On September 5th, Knapp exposed Rick Singer (Richard Senninger) with an article titles, TV host’s past catches up with him.
From the article:
The full story of Singer/Senninger/Lester/Wright/Vegas’ exploits could fill a book. Suffice to say, he was taken off the air in Florida after numerous stories of financial improprieties arose, including allegations that Rick failed to pay employees and vendors, bounced checks, committed outright larceny. At about the same time, he was arrested under a warrant from Michigan, where he was wanted for failure to pay child support. Some might say the crimes are not that heinous, but if you read comments posted online by people who claim they were victimized by Singer — lives ruined, homes lost, bank accounts fleeced — it paints a very grim picture.
Let’s Talk News Now – Cancelled
PodWorx, Inc., the parent company of the Vegas Video Network, is the latest company to sue Rick Singer (Richard Senninger) in small claims court. Singer was sued because he did not pay for two week’s worth of episodes the company produced for his Let’s Talk News Now program. Below is a copy of the press release announcing the court win:

Here’s a link original press release about the lawsuit against Rick Singer.
We think we know what Rick/Richard/RJ did after his time in Florida.
Rick decided to change his name once again, this time to the original “RJ Vegas” and turn himself into an “Elite Casino Host”. Not sure if he ripped anybody off during this span of “employment”. But somebody should have warned him that the pencil-thin facial hair is not attractive.
