I know we are all having a lot of fun with this, but on a serious note - based on the factual information made available in this thread alone, Mr. Strassini's conduct indicates a propensity for unethical and immoral behavior (at the least). We aren't talking about something like passing yourself off as the guitarist for (insert cool band) at the bar to pick up girls. We are talking about a convicted felon who served time in federal prison for committing fraud. Clearly, his behavior for the last 20 years indicates that he is not a stable person. If he contacts you or attempts to establish any kind of personal communication with you, ignore him. Do not give him any personal info or a way to obtain personal info.

Debbie Downer rant over. Proceed with positivity.

Great point. Everybody participating in this thread needs to remember this.

mi dispiace, i am sorry for the length, my hope is it sheds light in a very dark room, depends on who is digesting this=
I, am he. I will say some things that are truth and not the BS edited stuff I am reading here. Wikipedia users, started this, for me wanting to REMOVE my name, NOT add it.
Now, I Did NOT write any of the ?bios? and did NOT add anything to Wikipedia.
My claims of a court case in Charlotte, NC over ID theft are true.
I saw people wonder how that fit. Simple minds ask ludicrous questions. This whole site and its members, making the claims I am the person(s) that did anything criminal with a different name than mine, and saying it was me that did those things, is exactly why it is relevant. The Wikipedia people attempted to make the same wrongful conclusions into fact and print it- and why their parent company-Wikimedia- is involved now. This is my first post here, so sorry if it is going to be long, but there is so much wrongful crappola being spread all over this site and the net, it will be set right, I hope sooner than later.
Most members here ?pooh poohed? the net stuff about me as ?invalid? yet they used the same wrong sources to harm me, how wrong is that? Fruits from a poison tree, NOT admissible in real life, why here?
I was wrong in not setting what was put out there straight. I played along with that and was wrong there too. I see the claims of some kind of monetary gain, WRONG!! I played in many events at MY expense. Fraud and cons are for financial gain and someones loss. I defy anyone to prove that happened, they cannot because it just ain?t so.
?John? is a fraud name not me, and proven in court and to the police. Some members said-John is Giovanni in Italian and so it is me, lol. So is Juan, fact is I never used that name or any others. When I went to some banks, and they had that case you posted also, and attempted to claim it was me using an alias, I hired an attorney and beat them in court, proving what my true name is and that I never used an alias. ID theft proven here to be totally relevant. Unless you simply do not like the law and what is right. All the ?claims? I was that other person(s) is wrong and illegal by court standards. Double jeopardy violation- ring a bell?
One poster here, NYG21254246, posted a partial text and edited/shortened emails-Paul Sarpen. He never met me, though he called and texted me more than 200 times a month for over a year and that was why we had the falling out. He is like 5?8? and over 250 pounds. I felt sorry for him and we talked and that was it. He now says things that are all him putting what he did on me.. transference. He was an umpire, and nothing more. You guys treated him better than anyone that knows him in real life. Testament to how you latch onto anything that fuels your fire, lol. I called him ?Paulie? and after a year he said he did not like it. That is all it was. He got mad I made opposite pics from his and won on SFTC, on ESPN. Truth, and I have the emails and text records to prove that, but unnecessary for he found his glory on this site and claiming to know me, he NEVER met me, knows nothing or little of me.
Alwaysthere, not me. Yet I know of him from real life. I actually had some meetings at the police station and he came up. I never did anything for monetary gain and now they know that also. I went to charity functions, paid for by myself, and hospitals-burn units and cancer units, camps, and volunteered to make some childs life a little better. I have my life, I did not need to take from the innocents to make any more. Time was what it cost, nothing more.
Number 1- I did not set up any of the info or accounts on the net.
Number 2- I furthered them and used them and that is the wrong I did and did not stop them.
My name has only been only one all my life, a certified birth certificate, a sworn statement from the SSI, and driver?s license records proved me to not be the other names out there, with my last name or even different last name. I have never used an alias. I only have used 1 name my entire life. I have never been in any prison as claimed here. My address and phone numbers have been the same for over 9 years. Those companies you found? Not mine! Proven also, with the NC Secretary of Sate yet you used it wrongly and harmfully. On your site, whomever started it and runs it, furthering wrong, implies consent of use. I am well aware of that, lol.
This is a ?manifesto? as claimed here when that other guy posted his, but mine is straight form the source and not third and twentieth hand info.
I have been attacked with garbage, and now called by claimed ?free lance? reporters and asked for a statement, and I have not said a word. Plus I think their claim was untrue.
To say a bit more about the ?items? that have come into this, that ring, was gotten more than 30 years ago. The actual makers of the rings, destroy the template and never make a new one. Irreplaceable if lost or stolen. So, there are ?sanctioned? makers of the replicas, and only with authorization directly from the school can a new replica be made. You find out for yourselves the voracity of that statement.
I have actual pics from the times in question, with the actual players and coach Hayes. I have played in tournaments with them with no problems and no issues.
My claims, were never to bilk anyone, defraud anyone, swindle anyone, I never received any compensation other than gratification. So all those here that claimed that was the reason, are wrong again.
I will stand before anyone, and say I had altruistic motives, and not fraudulent ones, including God.
I did wrong in not stopping what was done already, and then carrying it further was wrong by myself, nothing more.
To act like you did anything great, is self aggrandizing which you claim is my crime. Hypocrites, lol. Wikipedia is at the crux here, and your site pushed it to this level with mainly false info. Whatever makes you happy I guess, but know more than 95% of what was claimed as true here and to the net sources with blog entries and such, is false and harmful.
To many of the wrongful and self righteous members here, I say wholeheartedly- vaffanculo!
I wish I could talk to someone with a reasonable mind and not set in their erroneous beliefs. I truly did not hide anything, the sources in place took a life of their own, I went along and helped it and did not stop it. I am sorry for that, and took down my things that helped it along. My name is now abused, and if the truth were the only thing abusing it, that would be my fault. But I went to court over the true name identity theft, and your members here finding me guilty again and using it to harm me, when I proved myself innocent of those ?events? is wrong in the same way I was, putting out false information for anyone to read. Set those records straight, if any honorable people are here. Up to you, I wish everyone the best and harbor no ill will for those wrongs, and really sorry this happened from my doings. Do your best and be positive always. I do live by that.
oh wayward sons, lol

You, sir, are a mouthful!

Just realized I forgot a doc link in the flurry of activity last night (stupid beer).

http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/Unpublished/031386.U.pdf

That is the document that establishes relationship of John D. to Rebecca A. I believe this is the link that Ancyent Fathoms was asking for.

Notice the appeal includes, "John D. Strassini, Appellant Pro Se." You know, because after you've been sentenced to 72 months in a federal pen and have lost your wife and contact with your toddler son, you've got a lot of time to hit the library and learn legal.

The Strassini v Strassini case in 2012 is the gem though, since the courts say of this Giovanni (who also files his appeals Pro Se):

"Mr. Strassini makes several arguments [...] Many of Mr. Strassini's arguments are difficult to follow."

"While Mr. Strassini asserts that "ome law is being broken[,]" he does not cite to any law in support of his arguments."

"Moreover, Mr. Strassini's arguments are undeveloped and unclear and appear to go beyond the scope of the matters before the trial court."

Nah ... that doesn't sound anything like who we're dealing with.

Thing that blows my mind is the absolute over the top out of this galaxy cognitive dissonance. This would blow peoples mind who stayed Harold Camp believers after his bible math was wrong about the end of the world over and over. They still believe that, but absolutely know you're full of [Mark May].

You claim that the lie was started by someone else and you just went along with it. Yet in the talk page posted by the thread starter from wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:74.218.250.83&diff=prev&oldid=555374690 you say the following.

vaffanculo to you and your endless drivel. i would welcome the opportunity to meet you and these OTHER users as you love to call yourselves, and at THE OSU also. I mentioned a case in court over a "true name idenity" theft issue, and cited the law that was applicable. my life has nothing to do with you and your users, the bio you can read on me was written by my school; THE OSU, and i have photos and documents to prove me out is what i said. athletic department sworn statements, office declarations, and more. why would i do that for you? i said all along wikipedia was NOT set up by myself or with my knowledge when it was first done. IMDB that johnindc brought up was written by others also. the name calling was my contention point, and you kept on and on about what you THINK the other users found and think was truth. sad testament to your claiming you want truth and verification, and all you do is call names and hide. had i cared about what is on your site here i would have been more willing to aid, but the name calling and your assinine verbosity is laughable. pictures speak volumes, articles in plain site to be viewed that are name and date certain, cannot be "hoaxed" or even forged. as i said before, in person that would not happen and your users would eat their words, my time is done here. ciao a finito.
So you didn't start the fraud but chose positivity to go along with altruistically yet you lie about having proof and THE Ohio State University AD backing you up. With sworn statements. What?

And we know that is you by the Italian curse words and rambling wall of text. Seriously short concise paragraphs please we are not trying to keep the Mongols out.

This guy obviously loves attention and has no problem lying for it or if that attention come from being busted on that lie. This has to be the greatest time of this guys pathetic life.

Can't be too careful, I suppose. But I did not get the impression in speaking to him that he's an inherently vengeful or emotionally unstable person. In truth, he has been under constant assault these past several days. Deservedly so, I would say, and to a large extent, I think he agreed.

It is difficult, in the face of the information dredged up that links him to these aliases under which he denies having operated, to come out in strict defense of the man. I am not, however, an investigative journalist, and I did not enter the interview with all of my homework done, so to speak. I mostly just wanted to get a sense of the narrative as it came from the man in question.

What I got from that was a bit of a mixed bag, I suppose. Lingering doubt about the nature of his relationship with the program: plenty. A sense of frustration on his part with how little control he now has over what remains of his online identity: check. A willingness to take his lumps, and an admission that some, if not all, of the crackings wise made here have been both justified and amusing: surprisingly, yes.

He was by no means without contrition. Still, he was vehement in his assertion that he at no point gained financially from the persona he so willingly adopted. And I think adopted, then - not exploited - is the most prudent term for it. If we can isolate the transgression of impersonating a football player, I think it's easy to call this an instance of prolonged weakness--the inability to resist the adoration the position garnered him and (as you care to allow it) the self-satisfaction gotten from the good-natured acts he claims to have made while wearing that mask.

None of that shoos away the spectre of his alleged criminal record, a record he roundly denied having. There is a chain of logic there that is difficult to pull apart. He claimed that he did, in fact, attend Ohio State, but that he had a different name at the time. How to reconcile that with the flat denial of the existence of aliases, I haven't the foggiest idea.

In any case, with specific regard to the imaginary man, the legendary Buckeye tight end Giovanni Strassini, I understand (if only just) the allure of stardom. I was close to athletes in my time at Ohio State, and I was constantly amazed by the sycophantic worship that followed even the most modestly accomplished among them. They pay a price for that stardom, of course--they're more visible, more subject to critique. I would say, then, that this is Strassini's time to make up for having only ever taken the good parts of being a star athlete. The jabs are warranted.

But if we're to treat him that way, it's probably fair to extend to him the same courtesy we do to the true athletes, which is to leave his family out of the equation. He would tell you to respect the aforementioned court decision as well and no longer associate him with the John Strassinis that are on record for various misdoings. That, at this point, may be asking too much. As long as we can keep it above board and examine the issue with maturity (which for the most part I think has been the case), then I don't think anyone here need worry about any return action from Giovanni Strassini.

IMO, the whole thing has kind of jumped the shark. The guy will never impersonate an Ohio State player or Ohio State alumnus again in his life. Continuing to engage him here seems to be giving in to what he's craving: attention.

The guy is more pathetic than any legitimate threat now. Let him slink back to wherever he crawled out from under.
