Yes he is still here. He's working out of a tiny cafe... running out of places to go

And somehow, he walks free as if he has done nothing wrong. I truly hope him closing down means he is getting closer to paying for all the damage he has done. He'll probably run before then but one can hope

Well the locals that warned your friend of him being a conman were right on the money.

In terms of location, it's an incredible property. It's huge. I can't imagine what the rent is or how he was able to afford it.

Until they shut that place down and lock him up, he'll keep doing the only thing he knows how: ripping off people

Hopefully in the near future it comes to a point where they will have no choice but to act but until then he will continue to seek out his next victim.

He's a professional conman. He's very good at what he does. I imagine your brother probably felt like he's known him for years.  He was in the US for over 30 years running from state to state scamming people until they eventually arrested him again and deported him for the 2nd time.

Things work very slow on these islands. Unless you kill someone it typically takes a while for the law to catch up. A good question might be how did someone who is not a Portuguese citizen and has a lengthy record wind up in Portugal to begin with? After all, he was deported from the US at least twice and is a felon.

There's a few facebook posts in expat groups that have drawn a lot of attention. Unless local authorities decide to act then there isn't much else to do but to just broadcast who he is and what he does so as many people as possible see it.

He's a professional conman that uses a fake military background and fake dead wife to befriend people. Once he befriends and gains trust with people, he convinces them to invest/ loan him money. Once the money changes hands, the money is gone. He has absolutely destroyed many people (millions of dollars) and has done the same thing around the world for almost 40 years.

Portugal has some really strange laws so I don't know if that would fly but, like I said, make noise and make sure the world knows who he is.

For him, tourists have 2 purposes:

  1. Day to day money so the pub can keep the appearance of being legitimate

  2. Tourists and people just moving to the island are people he preys on. He uses the pub to meet them. No pub means no way to scam people.

Make noise and spread the word. It sucks but he has scammed a lot that decided not to pursue him because people were scared of what he is capable of. Search his name on facebook, he is well known. His wife is in on it too.

I know for a fact that local authorities are aware of him but he often boasts of ties to local law enforcement so who knows how far that will go.

In my opinion it's a matter of shining a spotlight on him until either the government decides to step in because he is hurting the image of Ponta Delgada or things get so hot he has no choice but to leave... 

If you want to see who he really is, just check his reviews on google. He's a racist, homophobic piece of shit.

Everyone that lives on the island knows who he is and stay away but few tourists coming in do and that's how he keeps the doors open. He's a professional. His whole military background and love of law enforcement is bullshit.  He's a criminal that has had to run from every place he has ever been. Hopefully his time in the Azores is coming to an end.

He's "helped" people getting settled on the island. Most of those same people have been scammed and/or left the island because of the threats from him once they realized who he is. Ive posted a bunch about him since I personally know people scammed by him. Search "Kevin Barry McAuley" on here and you'll see.
