On October 13, 2025 Gregory Slayton was found guilty of grand theft (lesser included offense) in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court, in and for Duval County, Florida.

"The court hereby adjudges you to be guilty of the above offense(s)."

Now, therefore, it is ordered and adjudged that the imposition of sentence is hereby withheld and that you be placedon Probation for a period of Six (6) months under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, subject to Florida law.

He was confined in the County Jail for a term of 3 days with credit for 3 days jail time, as a special condition of supervision. Time was already served.

He was ordered to pay court costs and some restitution but the order only shows $27,500 plus other court costs and nothing to those who were defrauded.

He entered a plea of guilty which i'm sure was a plea deal and because the State of Florida bounced this around for so long by changing prosecutors and scrambling up the records and facts of the case they basically ended up with this or nothing.

Now that he has been convicted, it may be possible for the victims to pursue civil suits to strip him of any money he may have squirreled away. That is if there is anything left. I'll keep my feelers out for anything involving Mr. Slayton. I would appreciate hearing from anyone in the future if he sets up shop again and continues committing wire fraud and theft.

Barely a slap on the wrist. That's what's wrong with the justice system. He should have had to answer to all the victim impact statements. For sure he's got money stashed away. He's the kind of guy that if something bad happened to him people would be delighted. Has to be a pretty despicable person his son wants nothing to do with him. That would devastate most parents.

Operators like this usually cross the wrong type of people eventually, and they get what they deserve - if they're lucky, it's a vicious beating on a dark night by unidentifiable assailants - or sometimes, even better, it's a bullet in the head from a hit man. Some people are just straight-out oxygen thieves.

No trial will happen, they keep kicking the can down the road and keep offering him plea deal bargains till either one is taken or settle out of court. At which then one can file bankruptcy.

So sorry to hear your dad's a total waste of oxygen! I wonder if you let the court/police know he's back scamming more people they might come down harder on him as a repeat offender/criminal? Either that or he needs to try scamming the wrong person. There are other scammers like him that would have much preferred jail time and serious fines over broken bones or worse. It's hard to comprehend what you've been through.

If he's saving people from getting scammed that's a good thing. Some people are just wired wrong and get joy out of screwing other people.
