Criminal Allegations Against Kami Customs
The actions taken by the owner of Kami Customs, based on the evidence provided, go beyond unprofessional conduct and appear to constitute serious criminal behavior:
1. Fraud (Intentional Deception)
Accepting over $26,000 in payments for motorcycle customization services with no real intention of completing the work suggests a deliberate act of fraud. Misleading updates and excuses appear to have been used to buy time and avoid accountability.
2. Theft / Conversion of Property
Refusing to return motorcycles upon request—despite the work remaining incomplete—constitutes theft of property (also called “conversion”). This is especially serious when combined with efforts to obscure the bikes’ location.
3. Obstruction of Recovery
Repeatedly blocking efforts to retrieve property, providing false or misleading information, and moving items between locations could be considered obstruction, particularly if it interferes with recovery or law enforcement.
4. Deceptive Business Practices
Evidence of similar misconduct across different states (e.g., North Carolina and Illinois) suggests a pattern of criminal deception. If multiple victims are involved, this may support broader charges such as organized fraud or racketeering.
5. Potential Extortion
If there were threats made—direct or indirect—such as demands for additional money, intimidation, or attempts to silence complaints, these may constitute extortion or coercion.
In total, these acts present not just a case of civil dispute but potential grounds for criminal prosecution under fraud, theft, and obstruction statutes. Victims are encouraged to report their experiences to both local and state authorities for further investigation.

Public Statement Regarding Consumer Complaint Against Kami Customs
Submitted by: Jeremy M. Fuller
I am submitting this public statement as a formal and urgent continuation of my complaint against Kami Customs. This includes new and serious details that suggest a consistent and potentially criminal pattern of fraudulent business practices by Kami Customs and its owner, along with a disturbing lack of response by local law enforcement.
In [Month, Year], I entered a service agreement with Kami Customs for motorcycle maintenance and customization totaling approximately $26,000. I paid this amount in full by [Date(s)]. Despite this, the work remains incomplete—major tasks such as [e.g., engine rebuild, exhaust system, paint work] were never finished. At the time, my motorcycles were in excellent condition.
Since then, the business owner [Name, if known] has actively obstructed all reasonable attempts to retrieve my property, including:
- Refusing to set pickup appointments
- Giving false or changing information about the motorcycle’s location
- Delaying or ignoring communications
These actions go far beyond poor service; they constitute deliberate obstruction and what I believe to be psychological manipulation ("gaslighting").
Pattern of Misconduct Across Locations
Research and reports from others suggest these problems are not isolated. Similar complaints have been reported at Kami Customs’ former operations in Chicago, Illinois and at other North Carolina locations. Common patterns include:
- Prepaid services not completed
- Unresolved financial disputes
- Repeated issues with landlords or law enforcement
For example, Kami Customs reportedly owes $10,000 in unpaid rent at their former Charlotte location (416 Rountree Rd), involving landlord Christine K. Root and CMPD.
Law Enforcement Inaction
Despite several 911 calls and in-person attempts to file a criminal complaint with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD), I was repeatedly dismissed and told this was a “civil matter.” One report was filed on [Date], under report number [Number, if known]. CMPD even questioned the legitimacy of my complaint and the dollar amount involved—despite clear and verifiable evidence.
Additional Financial Loss
Roughly two months ago, I made a final attempt to recover my motorcycles. This effort, which was unsuccessful, incurred additional out-of-pocket expenses for:
- Hotels and lodging
- Tools and supplies
- Trailer hitch installation and rental
These costs were directly caused by Kami Customs’ refusal to cooperate.
Request for Legal Action and Next Steps
I respectfully urge the North Carolina Department of Justice to review this case for potential criminal prosecution. The financial loss exceeds felony-level thresholds in most jurisdictions.
I am also preparing to launch a public petition to gather statements from other victims in Charlotte and elsewhere who were affected by Kami Customs. This may provide further proof of an ongoing pattern of fraud and misconduct.
My goals are as follows:
- Immediate return of my motorcycles [include location if known]
- Full restitution of the $26,000 paid
- A formal investigation into Kami Customs and its owner(s)
I am prepared to submit all necessary documentation, including:
- Text message logs and conversations
- Photos and documentation of the motorcycles
- Proof of payments and verbal agreements
- Proof of ownership
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to cooperation in resolving this issue, returning my property, and ensuring accountability to prevent further consumer harm.
Sincerely,
Jeremy M. Fuller
