Man Who Cheated Nicole Murphy Out Of $10 Mill Running Game On Fellow Cons

Interesting to note – the prosecutors informed the judge Stratos is still conning people to this day – this time to his fellow inmates while in prison.

A sergeant with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office – who works at the jail where Stratos is housed – gave a declaration claiming Stratos has had to relocate over 32 times for his safety due to other inmates threatening to harm him due to him allegedly scamming them out of credits at the commissary or refusing to pay his gambling debts.

He attempted to contact former inmates after their release and told them to undertake various activities on his behalf, including trying to locate experts on bitcoin.

Stratos even promised inmates to help establish and manage various careers after their release, including careers in male modeling or in the entertainment industry. He has attempted to train or give instructions to inmates on how to walk like a model.

The deputy said he believes Stratos convinced a lawyer to let him use her cell phone along with sneak him in documents in connection with this multi-million dollar potential sale marked “Ellen Dove Project.”

The lawyer put $5,600 on Stratos’ commissary books, which the jail deputy said he has never before seen a lawyer putting money on a client’s books.

Stratos conducted elaborate schemes to fund an obscene life of decadent pleasure. From the more than $20,000,000 he stole by defrauding Murphy and other investors, the only tangible assets they were able to recover were three cars and a potentially worthless piano, prosecutors said.

He spent the majority of the money on gambling trips to Las Vegas by private jet and limousine, over-the-top shopping sprees and other frivolous displays of wealth, according to court papers.

While they admit a 30-year prison sentence is lengthy, they said Stratos was had many opportunities for success in his life, attended prestigious colleges and made numerous connections with important people, which he could have used to live an honest and decent life. Instead, they said he decided to become an unrepentant and incorrigible conman who has caused losses of tens of millions of dollars and ruined lives.

They asked for the judge to throw the book at Stratos and sentence him to 30 years in prison and pay restitution to Murphy in the amount of $11,415,007.
