Multi-million dollar COVID-19 fraudster trades mansion for a prison cell
HOUSTON – A 33-year-old Richmond man who operated a medical supply company in Porter has been ordered to federal prison for a massive fraud that resulted in losses of $17 million, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.
Caleb M. McCreless pleaded guilty May 2.
U.S. District Judge Sim Lake has now ordered him to prison for 110 months to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release and restitution of $36,279,780 to 11 different victims.
Before imposing the sentence, the court noted the opportunistic nature of the crime. Given the sheer amount of loss McCreless caused, Judge Lake added that the victims would probably never be paid back in full.
“Mansions, a Rolls Royce, a lavish lifestyle, and good old fashioned greed motivated Caleb McCreless to take advantage of a nation’s emergency, exploiting the most vulnerable amongst us,” said Hamdani.
“McCreless started his scheme by taking almost $1 million from the hands of those trying to treat Native American elders at a time when COVID-19 was decimating that population. His action were deplorable, and now it’s time to pay. No more cars, no more mansions, just a small cell.”
McCreless orchestrated a scheme to defraud retail buyers in the medical services sector by promising to deliver high-grade surgical gloves he did not have. He took initial payments that ran into the millions, but never delivered gloves or only delivered a small portion of them at a vastly inferior quality.
McCreless admitted when he ran out of victims from May 2020 through spring 2021, he induced millions in payments from his victims by offering surgical gloves from a trusted Chinese company.
But, McCreless actually had no such relationship.
After taking the money, he would try to stall the victims and then eventually stopped communicating with them. Many failed deals ended in civil litigation.
McCreless used the money to pay off co-conspirators and fund a lavish lifestyle such as buying exotic vehicles and a mansion.
Almost a dozen victims from across the United States, including Texas, lost over $17 million in the scheme.
McCreless has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
The FBI and Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 1 conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Carter prosecuted the case.

After rejecting the order of Pandemic Medical Supplies (inferior quality), Houston Attorney Sadick did not return the escrowed $1M+ (which would be used to pay for the goods upon approval and acceptance) to the buyer.
This litigation ensued and it’s been active for 2 years in this federal court.
Now it has been settled – at a cost to the buyer of time and lost income in fees and funds returned (based on the terms of the settlement).
Of course, admonished Texas attorney JL Sadick walks away smilin’ and unscathed.
P.S. It’s the fastest order we’ve ever seen comin’ out of Judge Hanks courtroom, it was issued within a couple of hrs of the final filings by counsel.

Re: Gericare Medical Supply, Inc., v. J.L. Sadick, et al.
US District Court Case No. 4:20-cv-02425
Dear Ms. Clair:
This letter is written in response to the Court’s Notice of Setting [DE 41] of a Pre-Motion Conference on plaintiffs request for leave to amend plaintiff’s Complaint in the above referenced matter , as communicated in counsel’s April 16, 2021 correspondence [DE 40). As you know, the Court has scheduled the Pre-Motion Conference to be held via Zoom on Thursday, April 22, 2021 @ 11am.
Unfortunately, I am unable to participate in the Pre-Motion Conference on April 22. I am traveling tomorrow, April 21, to go out-of-state to attend my daughter’ s college graduation – with commencement taking place April 22. Accordingly , I respectfully request that the Pre Motion Conference be rescheduled for a date on or after April 27.
In addition , by way of response to counsel’s notification letter, I request that counsel ‘ s request for leave to amend be denied for several reasons , including but not limited to the following :
The Complaint [DE 1) was filed over nine months ago, on July 9, Subsequently , this Court’s Docket Control Order [DE I 6) set November 25, 2020 as the deadline for amendment of pleadings and joinder of parties. Accordingly , plaintiffs request for leave to amend its Complaint is untimely – as it falls almost six months after the court-imposed deadline for doing so, and as case milestone dates quickly approach.
The fact that the Complaint [DE l] asserts no cause(s) of action against me whatsoever demonstrates the obvious fact that I had no contract or direct dealings with the plaintiff. In addition, the Court can logically infer that the same goes for the others plaintiff now seeks to add as principal defendants , namely, Gregory Jones, Laura Romeo and Imitari Corporation. Otherwise , undoubtedly all four of us would have been named as principal As a result , there is no basis to grant leave to the plaintiff to add us as principal defendants now.

Re: Request for Pre-Motion Conference: Plaintiffs Leave to Amend Pleading Gericare Medical Supply, Inc. v. J.L. Sadick, et al.
(Case No. 4:20-cv-2425)
Dear Ms. Clair:
Pursuant to Rule 6(B)(iv) of Judge Hanks’ Court Procedures , please accept this letter as Plaintiff Gericare Medical Suppl y, Inc.’s (“Gericare”) formal request to file a motion seeking leave to amend the Complaint in the above-referenced matter under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2), and to hold a pre-motion conference relating to this request should the comt feel it is necessary.
Gericare seeks to amend the complaint to add additional causes of action and new defendants. Of the new defendants, three proposed defendants were named as third-party defendants in the third party complaint that defendants J.L. Sadick and J.L. Sadick, P.C. (collectively “Sadick”) filed on November 25, 2020 (Doc. No. 21).
Third-party defendants Imitari Corp. (“lmitari”) and Terry W. Barnes (“Barnes”) answered the third party complaint prose on Feb. 26, 2021 (Doc. No. 35), and Gregory A. Jones, Jr. (“Jones”) filed his answer prose on March 01, 2021 (Doc. No. 36).1
The remaining proposed defendants are:
(1) Cojones Capital, Inc., a New York Corporation directed and controlled by Jones and/or Barnes (“Cajones”) ; and
(2) and Laura Romeo, an individual from lilinois (“Romeo”).
A copy of the proposed amended Complaint and exhibits are attached in the following link given the size of the exhibits: https://bur r.share file .com/d-s57f2 1 l 95c70c404ca8cf3a2 39fe7f 7aa.
1 Gericare notes, however, that corporations “cannot appear pro se in federal court.” National Oilwell Varco, L.P. v. Elite Coil Tubing Sols., LLC, No. CV H-13-0374, 2014 WL 12618088, at *1 (S.D. Tex. Apr. 30, 2014). Thus, Imitari Corp. must retain counsel in order to participate in these proceedings.
By way of brief background, this lawsuit arises out of the tortious disappearance of more than $1 Million Gericare was fraudulently induced to send Sadick in conjunction with Gericare’s attempt to purchase what turned out to be non-existent Personal Protection Equipment (“PPE”). Defendants’ wrongful actions have caused Gericare to suffer millions of dollars in damages.
As noted during the initial status conference in this case, Gericare was not aware of most facts relating to the fraudulent transaction, or the true identities of those involved therein when it filed the Complaint.
As such, Gericare has engaged in extensive written discovery regarding these topics with Sadick, which on several occasions required Gericare to undertake good faith efforts to obtain complete discovery responses and responsive documents without involving the Court.
Gericare has also issued more than 20 subpoenas to third parties and conducted additional investigation relating to information obtained through discovery in an effort to determine the facts surrounding the fraudulent transaction giving rise to this lawsuit as well as the identities of those involved therein. This investigation and extensive discovery efforts have resulted in the proposed amendment to the Complaint.
In advance of sending this letter, we conferred with Sadick and attempted to confer with third-pai1y defendants Imitari, Barnes and Jones, sending emails to Barnes and Jones on April 9, 2021, at addresses they previously used to communicate with Gericare.
Sadick’s counsel consented to the proposed amendment.
Failing to receive a response from Barnes or Jones, we sent follow up emails on Apri I 13, 2021, stating that we intended to advise the Court of their positions relating to the amendment on Friday, April 16, 2021, setting a deadline to respond of 5 p.m. CDT on April 15, 2021. We also called Barnes and Jones on April 14, 2021, at telephone numbers they previously used to communicate with Gericare, but were unable to reach them. As of the date of this letter, we have not been able to discuss the proposed amendment with either Barnes or Jones in writing or by phone.
In conclusion, we believe that good cause exists to allow the proposed amendment We appreciate very much your time and attention to this matter.
Please do not hesitate to let us know of any questions or comments at your convenience.
Very truly yours
Joshua H. Threadcraft
As we all know, a corporation cannot respond to a law suit as pro se in federal court, but that’s exactly what Terry Barnes has done. Imitari Corporation was recently established (2019) and the reply by Barnes clearly shows knowledge of the law, so it’s hard to believe Barnes is not aware of the law e.g. corporations need to be represented by an attorney in federal court.
Indeed, Barnes is listed on another corporation, called Metro Doctors Inc (2009) which is a primary care provider established in Farmington Hills, Michigan specializing in general practice. Metro Doctors Inc operates as a multi-specialty business group with one or more individual providers who practice different areas of specialization. The authorized official of this NPI record is Mr. Terry Wilmot Barnes (Owner).
There is maybe truth to the name of Barnes corporation as in latin, Imitari means an imitation…only time will tell what happened to the million dollars in this case…
LIT COMMENTARY
On August 11th, an entry of default was requested and the following day, the court obliged, entering default on Wednesday, 12th Aug., 2020. Over the weekend and after default entered, a response has been filed. You’ll see Jan Laurence (J.L.) Sadick received a ‘fully probated’ suspension for similar conduct just recently. It’s how Texas Bar rolls…

Houston Lawyer Sued for Denying Refund In Botched PPE Deal
A Houston solo practitioner is embroiled in a dispute with a medical supply company over a $1 million refund in a botched personal protective equipment deal.
July 10, 2020
A Houston attorney was hit with a federal lawsuit alleging he mishandled more than $1 million in escrow funds in a botched deal for personal protective equipment.
During the personal protective equipment shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Gericare Medical Supply Inc. was helping its customers by trying to get personal protective equipment from various sources, according to its complaint.
It alleged Houston solo practitioner J.L. Sadick was representing a company that was supposed to sell 1 million medical gowns to Gericare. In that role, Sadick accepted half of a $2.8 million payment and was supposed to place the funds in escrow. The company claimed Sadick didn’t refund the money when the deal turned south.
But the attorney denies this.
“There’s no merit to it. I can’t comment about it until the other parties are notified,” Sadick said.
The medical gowns were supposed to be of a certain quality level and come from the United States, the plaintiff stated. But when they were delivered, it was only 3% of the order, and the gowns were made of a cheap plastic material and manufactured in China, alleged the petition in Gericare Medical Supply Inc. v. Sadick, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston.
Gericare rejected the delivery, and the seller, Imitari Corp., promised a full refund of the escrow funds, according to the complaint.
But according to the lawsuit, there was trouble when Gericare sought its money back from the attorney.
Over multiple days between June 2 and June 15, Sadick stated in phone calls with Gericare’s attorney that the funds would be wired to Gericare, but the funds did not come, the complaint stated. Over those multiple calls, Sadick didn’t say the funds had already been removed from the escrow trust account, the petition alleged.
Finally on June 15, Sadick told Gericare’s attorney that the funds were not available because one of Imitari’s officers had “pledged” the escrow deposit and the funds were “tied” to that person’s credit line.
The lawsuit claimed that Sadick did not get authorization to release Gericare’s escrow deposit.
In later communications, the petition alleged that Sadick didn’t respond to a request for documentation of what funds were in the escrow account. Sadick cut off communications after June 15, the petition said.
Gericare alleged that Sadick transferred the funds out of the escrow trust account, and although Gericare has demanded its funds back, Sadick has not returned the money.
The company also claimed that Sadick made misrepresentations about the reputability of a person and a company that Imitari was supposedly associated with. Gericare relied on those misrepresentations when it first decided to do the deal, said the petition.
Plaintiffs attorney Joshua Threadcraft, partner in Burr & Forman in Birmingham, Alabama, didn’t immediately return a call or email seeking comment
RELATED LIT ARTICLES
What is a Summons?
A summons provides legal notice to a party about a lawsuit. It is the first official notice that a defendant receives to notify him or her that he or she is being sued. In some instances, the summons may specify a specific court date, but in others, it does not.
Who Receives the Summons?
The defendant, the person being sued, receives the summons. The summons serves as legal notice of a pending court case.
How Do I Send a Summons?
Generally, a person must be served with a summons. This typically requires that an independent process server provide the defendant with the summons and the complaint. Additionally, the process server must usually complete an affidavit to attest to the fact that he or she served the
A sheriff of the jurisdiction where the court is located may also be used to serve a defendant. In certain cases, service of process can be completed through certified mail. If you have hired an attorney, he or she can explain which option is best for your case. You cannot serve the defendant yourself.
What Are the Rules Regarding a Summons?
Each jurisdiction determines its own set of rules of civil procedure. However, many model after the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. These rules state that a summons must include the name of the court, the parties, the plaintiff’s attorney’s address and the time when the defendant must appear in court if applicable.
Additionally, it must include a statement to the effect that if the defendant does not appear, a default judgment will result against the defendant for the relief that you demand in the complaint. Additionally, a clerk must sign and seal the summons. The summons must be served with a copy of the plaintiff and provide copies to the sheriff or process server.
If the defendant is a corporation, an agent for the corporation may accept service. An adult must serve the summons and cannot be a party to the complaint. The defendant must be served within 120 days after the complaint was filed. Again, a state court may have different rules pertaining to summons, service of process and other matters that can affect these rules. For example, a jurisdiction may prohibit Sunday service or service on holidays or after a certain time. Discuss this topic with your attorney to ensure that service is provided properly. Improper service can have a dramatic impact on your case.
How Is a Summons Different than a Subpoena?
A subpoena is an order for a witness to appear in court; it is not optional like it is for a defendant in a civil case. Additionally, a subpoena is served on a witness while a summons is served on a party to the case.
What If a Person Does Not Respond to the Summons?
While a summons is an invitation for a person to appear in court, it is not an order. If the individual does not wish to go to court and simply does not appear or answer the complaint, the judge can decide the case without him or her there. In many cases, this results in a default judgment against the defendant.
What If a Summons Is Not Properly Served?
If you attempt to have another person served but do not follow the rules of the court in your jurisdiction, the defendant can come to court and explain to the judge that he or she was not properly served. If the defendant is correct, the judge should halt the proceedings as he or she does not have proper jurisdiction over the case. You may be given another opportunity to have the defendant served again.
What Else Should I Know about a Summons?
A summons may contain additional information in itself or with accompanying documents. For example, it may contain information about the subject matter of the lawsuit. It may include a complaint that sets out certain factual allegations against the defendant that support the plaintiff’s case.
Read through the summons carefully and look for any specific dates or date ranges. For example, the summons may state that you have 30 days to respond with an answer. Additionally, the summons may include a paragraph that states what will happen if the defendant does not respond or appear on the date specified.

I almost married him! I’m very upset about this lawsuit as well as the Florida PPE lawsuit filed in March.
Sad to hear your comment, Rachel. Well, life goes on and we shall see where this takes Jan.
