Has his own website where he makes the claim to be fullblood. But the photo makes it clear he's not, looks mostly Euro ancestry.

It doesn't surpise me that no one in community knows him. I highly doubt he's spent much time in OK or MS considering his conduct.
I spoke with the folks at the agency office who confirmed he does have a CDIB but told me I needed to contact OK and MS with regard to BQ and enrollment (the woman I spoke with would not comment as to whether his claim of 4/4 was accurate and if his CDIB could have been altered). I contacted Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and they would not provide enrollment information over the phone. If anyone wants to submit a request in writing, the address is -

Hi onered, I'm glad your friend is going to do some digging. Has she spoken to the agency yet? I REALLY think they should see a copy of his CDIB.
I was talking to a few people this morning and there are a couple of things that don't add up with his claims of being a pure blood or even Native at all. NOT one person from his tribe has EVER come to refute what we were saying about him on his page, normally (and this has been my experience when dealing with ignorant people) someone will come along that knows you personally, where you're from etc. and back you up, just like I get when someone tells me, I look too pale skinned to be native (my Elder's usually know what I'm up to anyway, because I tell them beforehand and I'm a half breed, something that is well known within my group of people). Roman, if you look up the history of the last name Roman, it is Russian or German and a bag of other Euro last names, Chezc etc. although someone said he kinda looks Philipeno and actually he does kind of.
The other thing is this .. at his age, should he not have went to boarding school? Or been a part of the 60's Scoop or forced adoption? And if you look on his profile etc. there is nothing about either of those issues. Here in Canada, there is not one native person I know over 50 that hasn't been either in residential school (our term for boarding school) or wasn't a part of the 60's scoop or forced adoption .. people not involved with at least one of those is very far and few between. And he NEVER talks about that stuff or even acknowledges it as an issue for his people and you would, because it's just human nature and you would be helping your brothers and sisters with their causes or at least talking about thier experiences about those issues, because it is human nature.
Just some thoughts a few of us were discussing.
ok I'm going to explain the law suit thing, which I am by no means intimidated by, there are different types of law suits and before that, we're in a forum, in a research needed section, where people are questioning his lineage etc. And I did this same thing with James Arthur Ray, although it was in a bigger forum on a much bigger scale. He can attempt to sue for slander, go right ahead, I as potential consumer, have the right to question your product, service, etc. and if I'm leery of it, I also have the right to state that too and well if I don't like it, I can go post it on a review forum etc. and say what I have to say. Reality is, he's selling products, which puts him in a whole different bracket. Is it affecting his sales? Who knows and do I care, no. Are we threatening him or anyone in his family of immediate danger? No we're not.
