Just when you think things couldn't get any worse... Stealing money meant for charity and now the dreaded fake cancer story. The two lowest forms of scum imaginable. What a vile piece of shit.

After reading the posts on the forum/blogs site it appears these guys are a bunch of suckers compared to PFA members BUT this is great for more leverage in the case.
Fascinating find, Druff.
Weeks after that long prostate cancer confession, this was posted:

Yup, he didn’t send the money, he’s off facebook and his email.I just hope those of you defending John feel foolish for buying a single word that scam artist ever said.Suckers.
Druff- Someone should email this site and see if they have any follow up on him from back then or even remember this case. You can direct them here if you want but are better off giving the person cliff notes of how Jasep rolled the charity, members here in a BAP, and former business partners of a website. Either yourself or Brandon would be best to do this imo.
From same site:
My name is Michael Polvere and I am the promoter for Cage Titans FC, a joint venture between me and match maker John Sepulveda. I do understand your view based on previous threads but please let me be clear, MMA Insider has no involvement, besides being a friend of Johns, in the “building” of Cage Titans. (To be honest I’ve never spoke or even met him)
Michael Polvere should be easy to contact for comment.
I'm finding all kinds of interesting shit as a result of Druff's post. Apparently Juan had some major role with another MMA organization called AFO.

From late 2009:
Hello,
My name is John Sepulveda and I represent the AFO (American Fight Organization) Based out of Pawtucket, RI. Last year we held 7 events and 2010 is already booked with 10 events and 3 more to be announced. We have a training center and we publish MMA Monthly Magazine. We are currently looking for sponsors for our events, we offer many packages to meet any budget and you get multi level advertising, including Event banner advertising, Magazine advertising, Web site advertising (we get approx 7000-10000 hits per day), banner advertising in our gym, fighter clothing advertising and more, if this is something you may be interested in discussing more send me an email at johnsepulvedaafo@yahoo.com. You can take a look at our website at afomma.com, it is in the process of being redesigned as we speak so check often to see updates, we already have a sponsorship deal with Everlast and a few local companies but we are looking to fill in some wholes, we are one of the only organization that gives our fighters health insurance and several shows per year are benefits for the Greater Boston food bank.
Thank you for your time.
John Sepulveda

Cage Titans set for 'Epic' debut
John Sepulveda is what you call a fight fan.
He got hooked when he saw UFC 1 in 1993, started up and ran his own website (MMA Fan Grind) six years ago and says he's seen every local promotion come through Massachusetts. He's also worked with several (World Fighting League and American Fighting Organization) in the region.
The Rhode Island native has ventured into a new territory with his business partner, Michael Polvere, by creating Cage Titans Fighting Championship. The first show, dubbed "Epic,'' will debut Friday at Lombardo's in Randolph.
Sepulveda found out firsthand how difficult it can be to create a fight card. The actual one and what the 30-year-old first envisioned may differ, but after various fighter pullouts, injuries and contract troubles, Sepulveda couldn't be happier.
"I'm really happy about it. I'm happy that we set goals, and we hit them,'' Sepulveda said. "We adjusted to situations about as good as anyone can. We stayed within our budget and put together a solid show. This is our first time going at it, and there are promotions that have been going at it for years right now that are struggling to make it happen. I feel like we're starting at show one and going to have a big presence.''
Cage Titans' first show will have a solid main event as Chuck "Cold Steel'' O'Neil (7-3) will take on Anthony Kaponis (3-0) for the welterweight title. O'Neil, who trains out of Lauzon MMA in Bridgewater, is coming off a win at Bellator 17. Kaponis made his MMA debut this year and has finished all three opponents in the first round.
After spending a lot of time analyzing other local shows, Sepulveda feels he has a good grasp on how an MMA event should run. It's his goal not only to make Cage Titans run smoothly but to be considered among the best promotions in New England.
Friday, he'll get to put his long-awaited plan into action.
"I've been to every single show locally, and there is element every show that I really liked, that I've disliked, and I think I've figured out how to take the things I've liked and incorporate them into one single show,'' Sepulveda said. "Our show is going to be broken up into two parts. First half is going to be all amateurs and be one fight after another. Then we'll take a break and come back to our main card, which will incorporate video screens with hype videos, analysis and cage interviews.''
The site that Jasep apparently created in 2004, MMAFanGrind.com, no longer exists. But it does have a Twitter account, which has been inactive since 2009.

I think the guy you really want to talk to is Michael Polvere. This guy partnered with Juan on the Cage Titans promotion and possibly the magazine publication. After Juanny started bouncing checks, it sounds like he left Michael holding the bag. I'd be very interested to hear what he has to say.
