Dennis,
Mona and Darren Jones, through their company MDDR Health Solutions, Inc., own
and operate the Alive and Well store in Kahului and online. This store has a
health food façade, but it is an ongoing criminal enterprise that is allowed to
operate by special arrangement with corrupt government officials.
I
have provided the details of the Jones family’s criminal activities elsewhere
(links below). The allegations could be easily proved in a court of law, but
the corrupt county government prefers to go after the whistleblower, me.
Here’s
a thought experiment: if we lived in an ideal world and we truly lived by the
rule of law, how many years in prison would the members of the Jones Crime
Family be sentenced to?
Regarding
the number of counts of some of their crimes, we can make only rough estimates.
For example, if, using radio, the internet and personal meetings, they
fraudulently promote and sell certain products and services a thousand times
each, every year for ten years, is that ten thousand counts for each product
promoted? Or is it just one count for each product, no matter how many times it
is fraudulently promoted? I give a range of possible counts in these cases. Regarding
the other criminal counts we can be more precise.
Fraudulent
Promotion & Sale of Products 50-5,000
counts
Fraudulent
Promotion and Sale of Services 50-5,000
Reckless
Endangerment 50-5,000
Negligent
Homicide 100-500
Food
Stamp Fraud 100-1,000
Terroristic
Threatening of a Critic 10
Violence
against a Critic 5
Conspiracy/complicity
in Violence against a Critic 5
Abuse
of Legal Process 5
Lying
to the Police (false reporting) 5
Perjury
and Obstruction of Justice 25
Assuming
an average sentence of one year per count, and taking the smallest number where
a range is given, a reasonable estimate of likely prison time for each of the
Joneses – Dennis, Mona and Darren – in an ideal and just world is 405 years.
This
analysis is for state charges only. The Jones’ use of the internet across state
lines and their food stamp fraud (accepting SNAP or EBT payments for non-food
snake oils) could bring federal charges and double the estimate to 800 years.
