In 2004, the SBA approved a loan for $385,000.00 for McKim Mortgage, of
Bellevue, WA, owned by Greg McKim.

I have reason to believe that the ability of McKim Mortgage to repay that
loan is in serious jeopardy, or will be in the future.
In 2000, I underwent an identity theft by a person named Eric Rommelle
Bartolome Asahan. This identity theft ruined my credit, and very nearly
destroyed my life. Upon doing additional investigation into this person, I
found out that I had not been the first person that had been victimized by
Asahan.
Asahan had been given limited power of attorney to access my bank accounts
and pay my bills, since I was working overseas. I later learned that Asahan
also had stolen my credit card numbers.
At the very end of the year 1999, Asahan cleared out my bank accounts, and
'double-maxed' my credit cards. Asahan attempted to make it look like a Y2K
computer glitch, which slowed the banks' attempts at figuring out what had
happened.
The method of 'double-maxing' the credit cards was thusly:
Asahan had been collecting the cash-advance checks that the credit card
companies sometimes include with the bills they send out. Asahan had access
to my credit card bills, because I was working overseas, and allowed Asahan
to pay my bills while I was away. Asahan used these cash-advance checks to
get cash advances that would amount to the credit limit of my credit cards.
Asahan then went on a shopping spree, purchasing high-value gemstones using
my credit cards. The gemstones were purchased from a cable TV show in the
Seattle, WA area that sold precious stones. The purchases happened before
the cash-advance checks could clear, and hence the charges went through.
The net effect is that my credit cards were 'double-maxed', at twice their
credit limit.
Asahan then bought a plane ticket to Manila, Philippines, and smuggled the
gemstones out of the US. From Manila, Asahan then went by car to Olongapo,
Philippines.
Asahan's mother (Lucy Bartolome) is a compulsive gambler, and gambled most
of the money away in a short period of time in the Olongapo casinos, which
forced Asahan to return to the US to initiate another scam.
Before Asahan returned to the US, however, he underwent a sex change
operation, and began using the name Erica Rommelle Bartolome Asahan. This
occurred in the Philippines during 2001, at the Eddieson Duatin Sex Change
Hospital.
The current target of Asahan's scam is one Greg McKim, owner of McKim
Mortgage. Greg was taken in by Asahan, and they ended up marrying.
Hence, Asahan's full name is now:
Erica Rommelle Bartolome Asahan - McKim
Asahan's modus operandi is to establish rapport with the impending victim,
gain their trust, and establish that Asahan is an 'expert' in the field of
finance. Asahan then offers to do the books for the impending victim,
whether it be for their personal finances or for their business.
Asahan then begins 'cooking the books' to cover up the embezzlement taking
place. Asahan holds a dual citizenship (US, Philippines), and uses that to
easily move between the two countries when laundering the stolen money. It
can take years for Asahan's scam to come to fruition, but the time required
is more than made up for by the aggregate amount Asahan will eventually
take.
It is my belief that this is currently taking place at McKim Mortgage.
Asahan has an email address under the mckimmortgage.com domain (easahan at
mckimmortgage.com), and thus is working there. And, of course, Asahan is now
married to Greg McKim.
I believe Greg McKim was specifically targeted for Asahan's scam, due to the
$385,000.00 SBA loan.
I also believe that the people entering the physical store address of Gotta
Have Shoes (owned by Asahan, most likely paid for by misappropriated funds
from the $385,000.00 SBA loan to McKim Mortgage, since both McKim Mortgage
and Gotta Have Shoes share the same physical address) are in danger of
having their credit card information misused by Asahan.
