SHLACHTER, PEROTIN, FUQUAY & CO.: The cybersex-toy-theft caper
in virtual world, a very real problem.
Call it the cybersex-toy-theft caper.
Dallas Private Investigation Co. "Investigation Resource Service" needed to identify a person who allegedly entered Second Life, a virtual reality universe, and replicated a copyright-protected graphic animation on which visiting "avatars" could engage in anything from kissing and cuddling to simulated sex.
The Dallas Private investigator's client, a former Florida plumbing contractor named Kevin Alderman, 46, aka Stroker Serpentine and the self-described "Hugh Hefner of the digital millennium," was reportedly selling 1,000 SexGen Platinum Beds a year for real money -- $40 each -- when he found out that someone whose avatar, or virtual identity, Volkov Catteneo, was peddling seemingly identical ones for $12.
Anyone can enter the Web site, but participants, called residents, must have the SexGen Platinum Bed to play. The site also has virtual dance clubs, vampire castles, space stations, shopping malls, puzzles, and discussion and support groups.
A subpoena to Second Life's owner, Linden Research, yielded Internet information, prompting subpoenas to Charter Cable and AT&T for account names, which led to Sybil Drive in North Richland Hills, said Alderman's attorney, Frank Taney.
Last week, after two months of cyber and terrestrial sleuthing, The Dallas Private Investigator found himself face to face with 19-year-old Robert Leatherwood, who denied selling versions of the SexGen Platinum Beds but admitted using the Volkov name, though not solely, The Investigator told us.
The detective offered to have a civil suit in Tampa, Fla., dropped for what Taney described as a small amount of money, provided he handed over some information to Alderman's company, Eros LLC, and desisted from further trading in copyrighted sex toys. Leatherwood refused to sign anything, The Investigator from the Dallas private investigation Co. said.
A person posing as Volkov Catteneo told Reuters news service earlier that he had sold 50 of the animated sex platforms. The Second Life phenomena has attracted more than 7 million players, many of whom apparently like to get virtually frisky.
Leatherwood declined to speak when we called Friday. An uncle, Tim Allen -- not the comic actor -- said his unemployed nephew was told by attorney Rocky Schwartz not to comment to reporters. Schwartz did not return two calls Friday.
But the North Richland Hills resident earlier told the Tampa Tribune's Elaine Silvestrini that it's just a case of mistaken virtual identity and blamed a former friend in Dallas.
"I do believe they may have been misdirected on this," Leatherwood said.
He said he was blamed when an ex-friend got a "whiff of what they were looking for. He called them up and claimed I was this avatar they were looking for. We're on pretty bad terms, a lot of fighting."
Taney said he and Leatherwood's attorney "discussed a potential resolution."
"I told him, 'Look, the kid still denies it, but he should know we have additional evidence.'"

I sold a trailer for several thousand dollars through eBay to a buyer that's handicapped in Ft Worth, TX.
The buyer contacts me before he bids, and asks how I might be able to deliver. I am from Chicago. Luckily for him, I was planning a vacation to Hot Springs Ark, and offer to bring it with me, and meet him half way. He pays with bank transfer. Problem is, (and he knew) I plan to leave in 48 hours, and bank transfers takes 3-4 days. But we talk on the phone, he has a confirmed address with pay pal, he is disabled, a family man, just new to eBay. I am not too worried...
We meet on Saturday, all is OK, and the transfer is made. I get his Tag number off his truck, and he has an Iowa ID card, NO DL, and I keep the title to the trailer... I am a little worried, but he is handicapped, and he has wife and child with him, real innocent...
I get back Monday, and the payment did not clear!!! He emails me and tells me he had some payments clear his bank that he forgot about; he does not have the money! Maybe he can pay it off in a few months... I do a quick search of what he is bidding on. He as WON a Jet ski, ATV, Race Car, Go Cart, Airplane!!, Boat!!, washer and dryer sets, and a dozen RC cars. He has no legs, and an 8 year old daughter.... He won't answer his phone any more....
I call www.pi-spy4u.com Ft Worth, TX, and give him what info I have, at 9:00AM, and he gets RIGHT on it. Time is of the essence, I can tell this guy is just stalling until he can get it moved (perhaps to Iowa, where he is from!) Meanwhile I email him back, and lead him on, what kind of payment could you make? Stalling, just wasting time!
The Investigator from "Investigation Resource Service" runs the plate, and finds the plates in Texas stay with the truck, and this truck was sold some time ago, and never re-registered!!! The phone number is T-Mobile, pre-pay. No Address... So the PI Quickly Drives over to the guys house, guess what, he moved two months ago, and the place is trashed! So, the PI goes door to door, and sure enough, most people have nothing good to say... But one person did have another phone number, left in case of a emergency, by this guy's wife.... Calls the number, and get his wife. She is now shaken, and can only say "that was his deal, not mine, leave me out of it!!" she calls him on his cell phone and I can hear (in the background) that she is "concerned". She gets back on the phone and tells me to call his number now, he will answer now!
A call to him, and he just wants to pay me later... I say, "No, I think I will just have to pick my trailer up". Stalls some more, then finally he says, "OK, when". I reply "RIGHT NOW". He says, "what do you mean right now?" I tell him I have an investigator in the area that will pick it up now. He stammers, and stalls, for another 2-3 minutes. He is obviously shaken up by this turn of events! Why did I have to get an investigator? What else has he investigated? This guy is scared! I simply tell him I need my trailer back before this gets "out of hand" Finally he tells me it is at a "friends" house and gives me the address....
I call the PI, he is there in minutes! Finds my trailer sitting in a empty lot, in a new sub-division, next to the "model home" (no one lives there) A towing company is contacted, and while the PI waits for them to arrive, The Investigator snoops around a little looking around the area, and there is his truck, down the street! He drives down to the guys' house, and his name is on the front door! He is looking out the front window! The PI starts taking pictures of the house.... Almost instantly I get a email from the Buyer, His "friends" called him and tells him someone is taking pictures of his house, and that's against the law!
I don't even reply; I am done talking to this guy. The PI now has all the info he needs on this guy, the trailer is back with me, and we are not done yet...
He emailed me at 4:00PM Monday to tell me he can't pay, and the trailer is mine again by NOON TUESDAY! I am 1000 miles away! I am amazed at how fast these dedicated investigators; acting on my behalf can get things FIXED!

I am from the Philippines and I am looking for my long lost brother for almost 30 years! We heard that he is in Dallas, Texas now his name is ROBERT he is 40 years old, and his birthday is in April. I write you this Email though it is a far cry from your forte just to beg and request you to please help us find his location and telephone number within your territory? You may be our only hope to be reunited with my brother. My old parents is longing for him ever since he was adopted by an American Family because of financial difficulties and for his bright future mostly. I just hope that this Email didn't in anyway displease you just because of the disturbance we are making on your precious time but we have no other choice but to try this just to see my brother again because we have no access here from where we are.
(After finding brother)
You just don't know the happiness you brought us with your letter! We are forever grateful for the help you extended to us kind sir. We'll be hoping and praying that one of these days we will receive an Email from my big brother whom we long to be with very much.
I can no longer contain the excitement in my heart knowing that someday soon, through your help and with the blessing of the Lord, we might be reunited!
Saying "Thank you" is just a small word for the big help you have given us. Whatever will be the result, we are still indebted to you because even though my request is outside the realm of your work you still bother to help us.
God bless you and your family more!
(After talking to brother)
I just want to inform you that because of the info you supply to us regarding my brothers whereabouts, we were able to contact him and actually talk to him after 30 long years! Thank you, thank you! I will mail just to keep you updated on the goodness you have done with my family....Again an endless thank you and we praise God for you being His instrument to keep my family together again!

Five years ago, my ex-husband and I divorced. He stopped communicating with me about 4 months into the process and the last thing he asked was to not serve him divorce papers on his job. I said okay and then was never able to find him again. I ended up divorcing a missing person. As always, life moves on but I have always wondered what happened to my ex-husband. I have wanted and needed closure over the past five years, but have never been able to find my ex. Over the past several months, I have spent thousands of dollars on public records, criminal records, business records, all records....none were updated....none were helpful. I knew I needed professional help and Richard was an absolute God send. Within 30 minutes after hiring Richard, he located my ex-husband!!!! Within 3 weeks, Richard was face to face with my ex, helping us to resolve our unspoken past and allowing closure and healing to begin. I highly recommend Richard. He's an honest man who works fast to get the job done. I will forever be grateful to Richard for helping me put closure on a 5 year bleeding wound within 3 weeks.

I'm a dentist in Fort Worth, TX. Several years ago, I had an unfortunate misunderstanding with a patient of mine who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. As much as we tried, neither I nor my staff could reason with the poor woman when in her suffering, she became fixated on an imagined dental problem. It became an obsession with her and she started to harass me and my family at home, calling repeatedly at all hours. It was well within my right to file a complaint with the police and even have her arrested. But that would have been cruel.
Richard, a private investigator with Investigation Resource Service is a caring person. I hired him to resolve this terrible problem rather than call the police. From his sources, he was able to quickly locate the widow's relative and the problem was resolved in a quiet, dignified and humanitarian way. Everyone involved is grateful for Richard and his skill.
