Man, reading this stuff from last year and this year is so wild to me, only because like 2 years ago I became friends with Mike through a LARP group we have in common. I hung out at the old house that apparently he claimed insurance fraud with. Wowza. Juicy stuff though!

Not too much involved in it anymore, and I'd hate to get wrapped up in this, or be confronted by either of them. Sucks because Jordan is so sweet generally. Not "close" friends with them, so I dont know what they're "really" like.

As someone who was friends with them both, you can be rest assured Jordan showed you exactly what she wanted you to see, and as such, I can guarantee she talked shit about you behind your back, and Mike probably did as well. It's how both of them treated all their "friends" and aquaintances. Nice in person, unless you had worn out your usefulness to them, but shit talking behind your back.

>> No.9405898

I thought so too. I got along with her every time I saw her. Then a mutual who I trust told me that she was being super judgmental behind my back and thought I was "annoying" and "always trying to talk to her about things she obviously didn't care about." I was pretty shocked that she could be that two faced. :/

Thing is - you have to watch Jordan. She's very skilled about turning any criticism back onto the accuser. Probably because she's a sociopath but whatever. She won't hear anything you say because you are wrong, in her mind. She'll use this to keep any semblance of power.

Probably wise, Sakuracon has a lot going from it - last thing they need is this kind of controversy. Plus, it's almost guaranteed to call out all sort of troubles at Sakuracon when people directly approach Jordan and Mike about what they did. Tons of extra work for the staff, not worth it.

Ok. I said I wouldn't post in this thread again considering the last one was deleted you've inspired me Anon. Let me just embarrass you for a moment by breaking down ONE public document which proves several instances of criminal activity. I even labeled in case this is still too difficult for your to grasp. Let’s have a little look below.

1. Secretary of State list of registered business. Third column over. What does that mean? Oh look! A handy index! Let's see..Hm! Looks like that means this entity is inactive! So that means that Mike has been running kickstarters and taking money that goes toward Newcon and Anime PDX on an inactive business license. That's VERY illegal. You can go to jail for that.

But lets take a closer look.

2. HEY! What is Newcon? For-profit or non profit? Yikes-o! A topic of debate, apparently even between Jordan and herself. >>9410913

Well let’s look at the document. Third column down. Looks like it’s NON-PROFIT public benefit. So this means no, he can’t just take the money and go. He could take out pay roll (which he doesn’t) and pay taxes on that money (which he doesn’t) to keep the business running ONLY. So when he says its his money to do with what he likes that’s a lie and it’s against the law. See Allocation of funds in the post of above. Spending this money is not fucking legal, let alone touching it without an accountant or lawyer or treasurer present. And if Jordan WAS a treasurer that would be ANOTHER illegal conflict of interest. Curious about what I mean by that. Just wait until you get to #5.

3. The address on the document has been blocked out for resident privacy. This is registered at Jordan’s old address. They do not live in Portland anymore. It is illegal to have a business change locations and not follow up with the secretary of state. The end.

4. AND MOST HILARIOUSLY OF ALL!! Take a look at the the date in which Newcon PDX was dissolved by the state for non-renewal. DECEMBER 2016.

Mike held Newcon 2017 without a business license at all.
MIKE ACCEPTED AND POCKETED REVENUE FROM A CONVENTION HE WAS NOT EVEN LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO HOLD. And he’s STILL doing business for Newcon on an INACTIVE business license. Do I need to elaborate on how fucking illegal this is?

5. Just because: Have a look at registered agents there on the most recent state record. Point out to me where Jordan is listed as a treasurer. Go ahead. Point it out. JUST KIDDING lol its not there. Jordan has been TELLING EVERYONE, as well as Mike, that she is the TREASURER OF NEWCON, a registered agent responsible and liable for business financial dealings. She’s not. She never was. SHE’S NOT AND SHE NEVER WAS. If she has been handling finances, signing checks or anything even remotely related to dealing with a Newcon business account she is committing fraud and can be held criminally liable. NOT THAT NUMBER FOUR DOESN’T MAKE ALL OF IT CRIMINAL FRAUD.


If you think this is a witch hunt in which people are just mad that Mike and Jordan were assholes and have no proof of criminal activity, you’re an idiot. If you believe Mike or Jordan in that they are doing things by the book and there have only been a couple of oopsy mistakes, you’re an idiot. Seriously...a major idiot. And they’re glad that you’re an idiot because it helps them feel justified. Because they’re idiots too. Seriously. A witch hunt? Eat my whole ass.

IF they're even doing taxes, you better believe they are doing that with them. And I have already reported them to the IRS and am getting ready to send paperwork to the a DA because its astounding how much money they're getting away with, how much they think they can scoop off the top. And it would be one level of corrupt if everyone got paid and all debts were settled at the end of every con and they were skimming off the top. Its a whole other level of FUCKERY when you have more than one guest not getting paid, and vendors from years past not being reimbursed and they can't account for where that money WENT.

It went to fucking off, paying rent, thinking they didn't have to have real jobs and taking their friend's to conventions in California and claiming the cost to be a business expense.

You can have a look at the document, yourself here:

Good on you. Hopefully they will dig into it. They may not get what they deserve but if it puts a stop to their ability to fund their fuckery off the backs of people just looking to have a fun weekend? Good enough.

Hopefully the personal stories of manipulation, shit talking, and just general malice they've spread serves as a lesson learned to anyone who keeps supporting them because they haven't had it happen to them, yet.

Mike Anderson & Jordan Molnar, criminal couple chairman & treasurer respectively of Newcon PDX. They failed to pay guests and vendors at Newcon 3 & 5, pay themselves illegally out of con revenue, have a kickstarter for their offshoot con Anime PDX with no guidelines where the funds are going to, and have personally victimized and abused a ton of their former friends and associates.

They haven't made any Newcon related posts on facebook themselves, but Mike did reply to a thread someone made asking about artist alley tables. Someone should probably warn not only the person wanting a table, but the artist alley staffer Mike tagged in his comment.

>> No.9425334,1 [INTERNAL] 

As a former room mate of those two, I can personally attest to their shady AF attitudes. Basically got gaslighted the whole time I was living with them and my (former) boyfriend.

Mike still owes me about $150-175 for a pair of shoes that Jordan's dog destroyed. Basically if I looked at them wrong, I would be instantly be yelled at or be subjected to a group discussion about how it's all my fault they're under a lot of stress.

If you value the Portland con community, please do NOT patronize Newcon/AnimePDX. We can do better than these idiots.
