He lies, cheats and steals. He committed fraud. He has a wake of destruction behind him. Avoid him and Becky at all costs.

Harry's work sucks! He can't even get others to complete their work because he refuses to pay them.

The federal 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that a judge’s dismissal of Harry Keane’s claim that he invented American Idol was proper. The judge ruled in 2003 that Keane shopped his idea for the show around so broadly – even posting it on a Web site – that he had no trade secret to protect. The judge also ordered Keane to pay Fox television’s $130,000 legal bill.

He lost the suit, the Judge saw through his lies. Harry has no talent and what is sad is when this is all over he is just a guy who never did a thing in Hollywood. That hurts him more than anything else, that he is a nobody not even a has been a never been.

Another Christian group Harry and mostly Becky are using to promote their con game.

After he ripped me off on an entertainment deal, I began researching and investigating him and his past.

First, how he ripped me off. He came to me as a “big shot” producer, race car driver, movie director, TV writer, blah, blah, blah, he was looking for an investor for a new project. He presented these elaborate proposals. Very well written and very convincing. He spoke with a silver tongue. As soon as I mentioned that my relative was a singer, he was all over me telling me how he wrote American Idol and it was stolen from him, blah, blah, blah.

Needless to say, I gave him money and he promised the world. he delivered on nothing and just took my money and ran. He put up a good front and made it look like things were happening, but in reality, he just lived off my money.

After he avoided my calls for several weeks, I called my attorney. Harry never responded to either of our calls or letters.

Then his office closed. I was told he was kicked out for nonpayment of rent. That's when I grew more nervous and realized I was ripped off.

On with the investigation. Between myself, a detective friend of mine and my lawyers office, we found that Harry left a trail of bad deals, lies, and scams in his wake.

BEWARE. Here is his M.O. He contacts you through a friend, church, neighbor, internet posting, athletic event. Then he talks his talk. He sets the bait. He talks about making MILLIONS of dollars and how you can capitalize on his venture. It is always “bigger than life”. He smells money and will come at anyone who he feels he can con. Once he gets your interest, he comes up with fantastic written proposals and has a CPA and lawyer. He cons them too! Then the bait is set. You pay him, invest in him and this unbelievable opportunity. YOU ARE HOOKED.

He talks about all this experience. Well, I found out the truth through all the lies. He was the Director of a movie. B rated movie. Turns out, he ripped off the producers (money men and investors), ripped off the actors, ripped off the production and editing companies. You name it, they got ripped off. Why wasn't he sued? The contracts had fast talking small print that let “him” off the hook. So basically, he made a living from the salary he got to “film” this movie.

Next, he moved into the music world and scam several entertainers out of money by telling them he was a record producer. Came up with a slick web site and took their money. He would tell them that they had to put money up for him to produce their CD's. Hooked more poor singers than I care to talk about.

Then Harry became a well known race care driver and scammed businesses and individuals by having them sponsor his “NASCAR”. To try and keep honest, he would start a few races, but the “car” always broke down. In other words, another brilliant lie and scam to live off other people. His sponsors (victims) included NON-Profit organizations and businesses. How sad is that?

When the heat got too much, he “sold out” and went into the “Radio” business. This time Keane's scam was to tell people that he had a radio station and needed sponsors and advertisers. He stated that he was already online with his station and had several “on air” stations in other cities. He talked about his antenna's and this huge broadcast range. All the while, he spent $49 dollars, created a web site and had an online radio web site LINKED to another online radio site. He felt it was ok to tell this huge lies because he did in fact have the online junk.

When that fell through, he went into the restaurant business. Telling everyone he owned a chicken wings place. Again, looking for a sucker to invest. Seems he rented an closed wings business and opened it for a few months, took the money and ran.

Next was a 5 star italian restaurant in Plano. Same M.O. It was a fully stocked restaurant that went under. Keane spoke to the building owner and struck a “deal”. For several months he made money from the place, but burned the owner of the building. Scammed more “investors” and ran away as the only one making money.

Just before this and during this time, he had this “Turn Up The Mic” TV show that he just signed an * million dollar deal with ABC to air. Again scamming singers into sending him “entrance fees” for this new talent show produced by the “original creator” of American Idol. All of these “contestants” lost their money, because their was no show, no deal with ABC, just a nifty web site and a bunch of out right lies.

Do not let me get started on the American Idol scam. I was informed that he and a relative came up with this scam together. Keane pushed hard and thought that he could convince a judge that he actually sent documents on his creation to the REAL creators of Idol and they stole it from him. They judge saw through it and awarded Fox $160K in damages. Yet, he still walks around telling that lie.

I have seen Keane on many investor sites looking to scam the next person. I understand that he is now involved with another “investor” in Garland and is building a theater to house the Garland Opry. Poor “investor”. Keane will for sure rip him off as well.

Just BEWARE. Keane has no education. No training and no REAL experience. He lies and cons his way. He threatens lawsuits in every breath, again looking for a way to make MILLIONS. From his words to my ears, he said he has never worked for anyone. Always looking for a way to make a fast buck.

Final advise, Harry Keane is a REAL CON MAN. For whatever reason, he has not been arrested or prosecuted because of some loop hole or his fast talk. He will even put an attorney on you and threaten lawsuits if you speak too loud. Well, this is going to stop. BEWARE OF HARRY KEANE. If you get involved with him, he will rip you off. I found he has been doing this for 20 years. Save your money. He preys on your dreams and makes you think he will make you rich and famous. Just remember nothing comes free and NOTHING comes easy, but he will fast talk you to believe everything he says. So, if you hear his name, run in the other direction or he WILL HOOK you.

Luckily, I never lost any money, but witnessed a dear friend waste a lot of time with Harry Keane. Here are the facts (if any sound familiar, and you are considering investing with this man, consult a lawyer first):

Early 2007
-hired a duo to play his restaurant (which required the tuning and delivery of a very costly piano).
-duo showed up to play after arranging the date and time with Harry two days prior. Duo shows up, but Harry's restaurant was closed (no phone call, no notice).
-After finally reaching Harry a couple of weeks later, Harry said he had Leukemia and had to close the restaurant!

Late 2007
-Harry wanted to sign a friend of ours and his band to a record contract, saying he could advance them $100,000 each. All they had to do was sign the contract.
-after they read the contract to our colleague, they noticed that Harry wanted to take out life insurance polices on each one of them! Deal was rejected.

Summer 2008
-Harry told the same buddy of ours he wanted to re-open the Garland Opry. Our friend checked it out, and it definitely looked like it was under construction (by someone…).
-Our buddy was asked by Harry to help hire the band, write part of the opening show (scheduled for around Dec 4th?) and to help launch the re-opening.
-our buddy asked for a proposal (this is where it actually gets comical):
-1) Harry said he needed our friend's email to send him the proposal/plan (the emailed proposal never came after waiting weeks).
-2) Harry said he must have gotten the email address wrong, and promised to resend.
-3) After a few more weeks, Harry said that he was sorry he hadn't sent the proposal because his mother was dying of cancer.
-4) After he asked for the proposal again, he ever heard from Harry after that.

Caveat Emptor, my friends.
If this guy is the “next biggest thing”, it sure is taking him long. And I would think twice before I donated to his “Garland Opry Pay Pal account”… sounds more like a donation to his vacation fund.
