Interesting. Are you positive this is the same Rick Halle? It does seem likely given the full name and Washington location.

For those who don't know the story... Rick was a long time member of this site (username Saddleup) before he was banned after numerous complaints that he took money for products and didn't deliver. It really was a crappy situation and several members were out lots of money. There was the start of legal action, but I don't know what came of any of it. I'd be interested to hear from someone who had more knowledge.

Some reading for those who aren't familiar with the history:

Don't know the guy but I can't see how someone who's done nothing wrong makes headlines???Guess he may have been worried about the black pussycats trying to intimidate voters again:D

He didn't just steal from CB members

He stole from people on other boards
For FJs and such

I'm surprised no one has located him and given him a haircut with a 9 iron

He's good at hiding. Hard to believe it would be the same guy. But may be it is

He stole a lot of money from some people

Not surprising a far left wing propagandist like MSNBC is only concerned with armed citizens. These political correctors don't approve of Broncos either.

I'm surprised that the comment section on that article site isn't lit up with people he has done wrong.

Same, some of the comments seem to indicate Rick is preparing a run or involved with the local politics. Wonder what a little bad publicity would do for that campaign.

According to someone who lives in Oregon and was contacted by this guy, it IS the thieving, lying, scumbag that stole thousands if not tens of thousands from members of this community..

Someone take him to court, make him lose his house, help him feel a little of what he inflicted on hundreds of others...scumbag!!!

A few weeks ago I was thinking about a trail cover for one of my Broncos and that whole saddleup fiasco came to mind.

I do wonder if this is the same guy. I figured he'd still be living under a rock.

Unless someone has had him arrested or sued him for his fraud he could very well still be there, if he has not ripped off too many locals and needed to relocate.

I know two local buddies who preordered his soft top that looked like BC Broncos Safari top (or whatever they called it back then).
Never got their money OR the top...not even an excuse...just jacked evrybody and went underground...th oise soft tops werent cheap...wonder how many peoples deposits he kept... 20 deposits x $1,000 = Rick Halle, thief, crook...if it was me I'd press charges if we still could...
