The question is why would Skip Paul, a Hollywood legend and educated lawyer, be hooked up with an obvious liar and fraud going by the name Arnaud Massartic.

Here is the link to our lively thread on Massartic:

DECLARATION OF SKIP PAUL IN SUPPORT OF TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

I, Skip Paul declare as follows:


I am an individual and a citizen of the United States and a resident of California. I have personal knowledge of each of the facts set forth below, and if called upon to do so, I could, and would testify under oath as follows:
I currently a Senior Advisor with Centerview Partners, an investment bank focusing on entertainment financing.
I have known Arnaud Massartic for over three years, serving as a friend and mentor to him.
In February, 2014, a Mr. Defendant contacted me by email wanting to confirm my relationship with Mr. Massartic. Not knowing Mr. Defendant, well I responded that Mr. Massartic was an acquaintance and suggested we should talk further. A true and accurate copy of our email is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Mr. Defendant never called me.
Later in the month, Mr. Defendant sent me an email stating that “I have reported Arnaud Massartic to the local police, the Financial Crimes Enforcement division of the Department of Treasury and the SEC. 99% of what Arnaud has represented to me has turned out to be fictitious and, most recently, he supplied me with a fraudulent contract in an effort to finance buildings which he does not own.” A true and accurate copy of this email is attached hereto as exhibit B.
Because I have not known Mr. Massartic to deal dishonestly and was aware of the deal, I forwarded the email to Mr. Massartic. I was shocked at the outrageousness and falsity of Mr. Defendants statements.
I have continued to serve as a friend and mentor to Mr. Massartic, but I can see how someone who does not know Mr. Massartic as well as I might refuse to do business with him as a result of seeing such claims posted in public forums on the Internet.
In this business it not unusual for investors and others to research the reputation of other potential business relationships on the Internet. Claims like this would likely would damage his professional reputation and make it harder for him to do business as people would not trust him with deals or confidentiality.


I declare certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 19th day of March, 2014 in Los Angeles, California.

How much had Skip Paul researched Massartic before this endorsement? The thread we have here shows Massartic to be a liar and fraud. There are numerous court cases and research on the links about himself that Massartic provided on LinkedIn that make that clear. So, why is Skip Paul singing his praises???

Skip Paul has been featured in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/business/media/26paul.html?_r=0) and now has threads on here and on Rip-off Report questioning his connection with Arnaud Massartic. What is his true relationship with Massartic? The court documents (http://www.realscam.com/f12/arnaud-massartic-3034/index6.html#post71487) for one of the fraud cases against Massartic show him with fake letter of assets from a fake bank and claiming to have a company that doesn't exist. So, just where is Massartic's money really coming from? Why would Skip Paul be involved with a guy like Massartic???

are you thinking they have a relationship going?
The only question is just how much Massartic's friend Skip Paul knows. As several victims have been in contact with the authorities including our original poster that went to the FBI, it is quite possible that Mr. Paul will be interviewed by law enforcement. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that one!

Skip said he did not know what the deal is and he did not know who is asking.

I left a lovely message for Mr. Paul at his office. I gave them my name and title of administrator for Realscam. I wonder how Arnaud Massartic will explain away the threads on here to his mentor??? That should make for a real fun boys night out.

Skip Paul was a licensed attorney? That clown actually submitted an Affidavit in support of scammer Arnaud Massartic in a second joke of a case. Mr. Paul should be well aware of the First Amendment issues here and the obvious conclusion that Massartic didn't have a chance in hell in this second frivolous filing to get any sort of injunction.

I predicted Massartic would drop the first federal case and to no one's surprise he has had to dismiss this second sure loser as well. I assume Massartic will finally quit chasing this legitimate critic through court. Certainly, Mr. Paul has concluded that Massartic is not the successful businessman he claims to be and he will completely distance himself from that fraud.
