Basri Emini: American Deadbeat – Business Consultant, Mortgage Broker, Leading Real Estate Companies, Axe Signs, Zize Enterprises.
Posted by: AmericanDeadbeatAdmin, in Debtors
Thinking about doing business with Basri Emini, the renowned business consultant, mortgage broker, operator of the leading real estate companies of the World, Axe Signs, Zize Enterprises or any other of his various business entities, names and wildly over-stated delusions? Would you like to learn about the self-professed master business consultant and mortgage broker? You may want to save yourself a lot of trouble and loss by investing 15 minutes of your time and reading this page – we promise you it will be worth your time, plus you may find it sad, hilarious and pathetic all at once!
This website was started back in 2009 under the name americandeadbeat.com and was on line for over eight years while Basri Emini continued his way of operating. When the site and its information on Basri had become too much of an obstacle for him to overcome, he hired a detective and did everything possible to get it off the internet. So we doubled-down and did a follow-up article on him and returned with more facts for you to review and determine for yourself what the truth is about Basri Emini, Bas Emini, Baz Emini, Bos Emini, and any other name combination he wants to use to attempt to deceive you and cover his identity.
Previously, Basri Emini posted writings citing himself as a “marvelous business man”, and claiming that he “started a publishing house in 2005” but these are figments of a colorful imagination, and one that doesn’t write particularly well nor care that the facts stand in the way of his story line. Basri Emini a “Meticulous Business Man”? A “Passionate Business Man”? “An Ingenious Business Personality”? “A Transcendent Business Man”? Well, his own horn-blowing, puffery and embellishments would have some believe it to be so, but the facts prove otherwise. And more recently, he is now a “professional business advisor”, a “trusted entity” and a “world-class innovative leader”. Last we heard, he is apparently running an Axe Signs franchise.
From the time he got our previous site taken down, he’s been littering the internet with his own ramblings and falsehoods in a futile attempt to push farther down the pages of a Google search, the remaining remnants of negativity about him from the various websites that linked to ours – sites like “Pissed Consumer”, “Reviewstalk” and “Complaints Board”, all of which have comments from others who knew Basri, worked with him, met him, spoke with him, and especially those who were cheated by Basri Emini. Their stories have not gone away, either — we’ve compiled some of the best right here. And, despite what you see initially on the link to the Complaints Board site, nothing has been resolved for any of the complainers or their situations; the website shows the matter(s) as “resolved” simply because he never responded and apparently that means resolved over at Complaints Board.
Rather than start at the beginning, click here if you wish to read the original post — we will begin with the more recent past of Basri Emini and his partner, Alexa Mierop. We will not refer to her as his wife because we have no knowledge as to whether or not they are legally married in this Country, or any other. However, they have children together and have spent the last decade or so together, therefore, we can safely refer to them as a couple and partners. While only certain things are there for public consumption, you can see what they want you to see on Baz’s Facebook page under the name “Baz Axel Phoenix Alexa” — Basri, his two children and their mother.
This is Alexa Mierop, mother of Basri’s son and an entrepreneur in her own right, apparently. Aside from being a mother and re-selling designer wearables (she was on Pinterest selling as Alexa’s Closet but now operates on Poshmark as Lex M @mierop), she finds time for charity work.
On September 22, 2016, Alexa started a not-for-profit corporation called “bluelivesmatterusa” and a web page was created to solicit donations to the charity; blmusa.org was the page, however, only a short few months later, the web page for this “charity” was gone. The Facebook page remains – it’s here: https://www.facebook.com/bluelivesmattersd. You will notice another link on the page for the organization’s website, “bluelivesmattercharity.com”, however, like its predecessor, it too is gone now. This bit was originally on the front page of their Facebook account but it has since been removed; if you look further into the page however, it remains there:
Note the photo of Basri and a baby with the name Baz Axel Alexa – Basri Emini, Alexa Mierop and their son Axel. As you can see, this Facebook page belongs to Basri Emini and Alexa Mierop, and they are raising funds under the banner of a non-profit, charitable organization. A nice thing to do for sure, however, the reality of non-profits and charities are often misunderstood. A non-profit is an organization that cannot show a profit on their books at the end of the year. This means that all funds are disbursed at the direction of the officers and/or directors of the entity, and pay for things generally presumed to be for the business, including automobile(s), travel, entertainment, promotion and all business-related expenses. The laws on what percentage of revenue must actually be donated to the charity vary from State to State, but it is often a very small percentage of the total revenues brought into the business. So, if you feel charitable and want to support Basri and Alexa’s “non-profit organization” whose websites have vanished, click on the tab as shown here:
In reality, a small portion of revenue may be making it to the charity, with the balance of funds being spent at the direction of Basri Emini and Alexa Mierop. A charity is only as good and reputable as those that run it, and the San Diego version of the Blue Lives Matters campaign is spearheaded by these two. Now, you may ask yourself ‘if Alexa is running the charity, what’s the issue’? The issue is credibility. Americandeadbeat.com had been on the internet since August, 2009, and apparently pre-dated Alexa meeting Basri. A simple Google search of Basri Emini exposed who he is; in fact, if you typed in the name “Basri”, Basri Emini was/is the first name to pop up. Is it reasonable to think Alexa did not use the internet or Google at all, ever, to discover who the man is? Is it reasonable to think that if she did discover the truth about him that he was able to explain it all away? Or is it reasonable to think that she knew how to look on line for information and knew then and knows now, who he really is? You be the judge. While you consider that, here’s Basri and Alexa outside their now closed restaurant – Nosh, formerly Carnivore.
The restaurant “business” is Basri’s forte’ from his upbringing (editor’s note: review his distant past on the original post since 2009) and it was business as usual with the “marvelous”, “meticulous”, “ingenious”, “transcendent” and “passionate” business man. Consider that this posting on Complaints Board is more than likely from Catherine Albertini, whom an alleged stranger went out of his way to post disparaging, unsourced and unconfirmed remarks about on the same page:

Love that Boz will rot in jail.
Emini ripped us off first after coming to San Diego from Mexico. He used our money to open his first Nosh Deli in Encinitas. We had an attorney draft a 22 page legal document which he executed. He agreed to run the deli and to match our funds which were about $63,000. He kept making excuses for not matching our funds, and then as soon as the deli opened, treated us like interlopers. Subsequently, he fraudulently opened an American Express business account using my husband’s social security number that he somehow obtained. He charged about $50,000 in deli expenses and $8, 000 for travel to Chicago with his equally devious girlfriend, clothes, dining, gas, hotels, restaurants, air fare, and other expenses. My husband and an attorney tried to find out about his character on the internet before entering into a partnership, but there was nothing, it was like he was a virtual ghost. This was in the winter and spring of 2012 after I was recovering from almost dying from stage 4 cancer and chemotherapy and surviving odds of 5% where my oncologist told me I was to have no stress if I had any hopes of surviving. As soon as the deli opened, I found out that this site and others that reveal his sociopathy and corruption had been hacked and shut down with 39 or so viruses so that no one could find out about his criminal behavior. He was driving a black Jeep Cherokee that was stolen from Mexico from a car leasing company that had gone bankrupt. I am a professional writer and a businesswoman so I began contacting authorities and writing some serious letters. Emini realized that I was a threat so in May of 2013 my new Mac computer was hacked. I lost administrative control of my longtime gmail account, and my Facebook and Linkedin accounts were hacked. He got access at one point by sending me a phony email from Office Depot stating that I had placed an order. He had help from two ex-Apple employees that worked in Carlsbad near the Apple store there that used to frequent the Encinitas deli. I’ll never forget his lowlife girlfriend from a ghetto in Chula Vista going on a three week cruise to Europe using our money. She is as crooked and criminal as he is in my opinion, and is fully aware of his scams as a co-conspirator. When my husband was considering going into a partnership with him for this deli his sister and her used car-type salesperson husband flew out from Chicago and with the girlfriend all conspired to try to win me over because I was quite suspicious. We had dinner at the Chart House in Cardiff. Our judgement was impaired because, as a couple, my husband and I we were just recovering from the trauma of my almost dying, and the condition of my thinking from chemotherapy for a year. Emini knew this and has no shame. I’ve always thought that he has a death wish because of how brazen he is. He opened the American Express card months before we knew about it, and in November of 2012, American Express mailed a card to our home for an employee, that is how we discovered the theft. When my husband confronted him about it, Emini had the nerve to say “I didn’t think you would mind if I had a little fun.” Really? After the deli opened, I noticed that Emini was chain-smoking and alcoholic, a very bad drunk. Whenever I would go to the deli he would try to get me to drink with him, even in daytime. I don’t drink. One day I went to the ladies room and when I came out he was doing something with my cell phone, this is how I think he initially hacked my computers and accounts. He also claimed to be Italian and Jewish, but once asked me if I was a Christian. I told him my religious beliefs were personal because I knew he was a sociopath at this point and didn’t want him to know anything personal about me. This is when he told me that “Allah was the only true God.” I believe that he is an Albanian gypsy, perhaps the Pinko clan. I could go on for days about this self-hating clown with zero class or integrity, a real coward. He once told my husband, “I’m not like you, I’m just a low-life scumbag.” At least he knows what he is. We sued him and won a judgment, but he filed for bankruptcy. I was recently on a camping trip up to Big Sur to celebrate my birthday when my husband called me and told me that he had been arrested for multiple felonies for fraud, larceny, ID Theft, conspiracy, tax evasion, and others. The IRS called my husband sometime ago and said that he owed them as well. Apparently there was a secret service task force investigating him. They are even considering the RICCO Act. He’s in some huge trouble and looking at being incarcerated for decades. He always had a lot of money stashed in case of arrest so that he could flee. I heard that he posted bond of $250,000 or $25,000 which I could not believe in that I think he is a flight risk. He’ll buy a phony passport and probably run, but I’m sure with the secret service on his tail, they will love to tack on some additional charges when and if he does. What’s ironic is that he could have made himself a lot of legitimate money, all he had to do was open 3 or so deli’s and franchise them and make himself about $20,000,000. We were willing to do this, and this was our vision, but he is so corrupt it wasn’t about the money to him, it was all about the rip-off. I just hope that the feds prosecute his disgusting girlfriend as well, she’s as dirty as he in my opinion. Couldn’t happen to a better guy huh? I know one thing, he will do some serious time, and he likely won’t fare well in incarceration because he is such a coward and has such low self-esteem and is such an alcoholic and will cross the wrong person while sitting in there rotting where he belongs. I think that he thought that because he was from Chicago and that he was a Muslim that in Obama’s America he couldn’t be touched. Can’t wait to follow this case and testify against he and his girlfriend. Ciao Boz.

I wanted to add to my comment. After we discovered that Emini had opened an American Express account in my husband’s name, another bank mailed us a notice asking if my husband had requested to open a credit account for a Visa account, for a so called “black credit card.” Black cards are considered to be status cards for those that are trying to impress others, cards the tactless, social-climbing “new rich” use. Emini, armed with my husband’s social security number and birthdate that was off by a decade, tried to further defraud us. He had applied for a black card in my husband’s name to be mailed to OUR deli in Encinitas where he had even named a sandwich after his classless and conniving girlfriend, The Miss Alexis. We obtained a credit report, and he had applied for credit for at least 4 accounts that we were unaware of. He comes from a third world country, Albania, and his parents, that he proudly posted a photo of on Facebook, were peasants, dirt poor, poorly bred peasants that came to America from Albania. I noticed at the Chart House that Emini’s sister that runs a restaurant in Illinois, and her husband, Jerry, had very thick accents. He also told my husband, to his utter disbelief, that he liked the restaurant business because he had access to so many credit and debit cards. Emini also used anger and intimidation as his weapon of choice against his many victims. His last victim I hear was an 85 year-old man that he took for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars, everything that he had to live on. The police have more than enough to convict him for years, but they think that there are many more victims and are hoping that they will come forward.”
The Albertini’s and Emini had a business relationship with at least one of his restaurants and corporations; it obviously didn’t end well, as none of his restaurant businesses or corporate entities ever do.
There are many other posts on that page which can be found here: https://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/emini-equities-illinois-c414352.html
Consider the comments found here on this page: https://emini-equities.pissedconsumer.com/review.html
Yelp is a well-known review website which allows its users to rate, review, compliment and complain about any business dealing with customers. We won’t bother bringing up all of the random thoughts and grievances with his restaurant(s) but if you wish to know more of the good, the bad and the ugly, read all of the reviews on Yelp for yourself. Certain ones here however, are particularly telling and we have highlighted those for you here on this page. We remind all readers that these posts are not from the author/editor of this page, but independent and unrelated citizens who have remarked on their experiences of their own volition:
“I bought two sandwiches from Nosh last week and the total was $25.34, I left a $5.00 tip, making the new total $30.34. I looked at my credit card statement a few days later and saw that I was charged $5,030.34. I immediately called the store and the woman on the phone was very apologetic and said she would have her boss call me. Her boss calls me a few hours later and conference calls in someone from the company who handles their credit card processing. I am then told that it would take up to seven days to put the $5,000 back onto my credit card. That is a substantial amount of money and a huge mistake. I understand that people make mistakes – that is not what I’m upset over. When I was on the phone with the Nosh manager or owner (not entirely sure), he proceeded to call me “sweetie” a number of times, did not reassure me, did not really apologize, nor offer me anything in return. After the credit card processing guy, Nosh guy, and I talked on the phone, the Nosh guy then said, “You can hang up now, I have some business and things to talk with this guy (the credit card processing guy) about, so you can hang up.” A few hours later I realize that I should probably get this in writing so I call the Nosh guy and he ignores both of my calls. I then call the store asking for the Nosh guy’s email address so I can follow up in writing and am told he will give me a call but never does.”
THIS RESTAURANT STOLE MY IDENTITY AND $500 OF MY MONEY.
I have visited them before, but on a day I did not visit them, I received a charge on my debit card from them for $486.23. Unsure who/what was responsible for the charge, I emailed the establishment to let them know it happened. The owner emailed me back and told me THEY were responsible for the charge, and even confirmed the last four digits of my card. He told me they had changed their point of sales and it was an error, and that they’d issue me a refund (they never did). There’s a few issues with that reasoning: 1) It’s illegal to store anyone’s card information, so even a glitch couldn’t result in this, especially on a day I didn’t visit them 2) They didn’t immediately cancel the transaction 3) My bank told me the transaction had been punched in manually (ya know, like if someone has your card information written down and punches it in).
I am working with the bank to dispute the charge, but it is abundantly clear that someone on staff at Nosh has stolen my card information and money, and the manager knows about it and didn’t make it right.
If morals aren’t enough to keep you away, at the very least PAY IN CASH!!!!!!
Something fishy is going on here. I ate there once in the past couple weeks but was charged twice on two different days. One charge was for $653.00! Sorry, the sandwich wasn’t worth that. I had to called my bank to take care of this because they were closed. At first I had no idea who Carnivore Sandwich was until I looked it up while on hold with the bank and found out it was Nosh. I read some other Yelp reviews while I waited (still on hold) and saw I wasn’t the only victim. Lucky for me my bank got right on it, reversing the charge. I don’t think I will ever eat here again and I would recommend anyone planning on going here to use cash only.
UPDATE: Today I did a google search on the owner’s name Basri Emini, do yourself a favor and check it out!
What a crock! The owner of the deli when it went by the name of “Nosh” sold Groupons in March, and then decided not to honor them in May – when sometime between March and May he changed the name of the deli to Carnivore Sandwich. Same owner! Apparently he sold the Groupons knowing full-well he did not intend to honor them once the name changed. Working downtown very close to this deli – the word is quickly spreading. The food is good, but the integrity of the owner is far less than criminal; unscrupulous, unprincipled, unethical, immoral, conscienceless, shameless, dishonest, dishonorable, deceitful, devious, underhanded, and unsavory.

| SCD266781 | EMINI, BASRI | 1975 | San Diego | Criminal | 05/03/2016 |
The modus operandi for Emini is to open a new corporation, almost yearly, funnel his revenues through the entity, but never actually having any assets in the corporation, which allows him to leave many thousands in debt (and a wealth of unpaid creditors) behind each time since the debt incurred belongs to the corporation — and you cannot collect a judgment against nothing.
If you were somehow able to do business with him personally or secure a personal guarantee thinking this would protect you or help you in some way, think again; it was never beneath Basri to lie under oath in court or under oath in writing or when he sat for a judgment debtor exam. We obtained a copy of his judgment debtor exam and the transcript of his citation interview – we encourage you to read it. He tells lie after lie, feigning lack of knowledge and misunderstanding of the questions, and perhaps best of all is when he can’t recall if he ever filed bankruptcy previously. For those of you who are unfamiliar, when you file bankruptcy you do have to appear in court before the Trustee and testify under oath so it is simply not possible that he could not recall. You can read it here: B.E. transcript of judgment debtor examination / B.E. judgment debtor examination questionnaire
He ran his restaurants under the corporate names of Coronado Restaurant Group, then Torus Hospitality and then Crown
Hospitality, however, when pressed to examine the tax returns of those entities, amazingly, those records were stolen from his car (as alleged in the exam discussed above) along with family pictures of his now deceased parents. Ever the con man, playing on someone’s sympathies and telling the most ludicrous lies while doing so. If you bothered to read the documents in the above link, you would have seen where he offered to pay $15,000 to settle the particular case at hand, provided he got control of the website “American Deadbeat.com”; interesting how this site so troubled him that for some reason he wanted to include it as part of a settlement agreement in a totally unrelated matter. Basri never paid any funds towards that debt and in fact, had it discharged when he filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy shortly after making that statement. Needless to say, the continued hearing and production of those documents, obtaining an attorney before answering some of those questions that troubled him – none of that ever happened as it was all avoided by the bankruptcy.
It is unclear why the criminal complaint filed against Basri Emini hasn’t resulted in more severe consequences, but obviously it has not as Basri remains free to continue his way of doing business. It may or may not be coincidental that following the filing of the criminal complaint against Emini, two transfers of assets were recorded: on July 5, 2016, the assets of Carnivore Sandwich and Basri Emini were transferred via a bulk sale to Johan Engman & William Lopez, and then on July 13, 2016 — 8 days later — the assets of Carnivore Sandwich, Basri Emini and 7th & Broadway, Inc. were transferred via a bulk sale to Como Ceviche Inc. Obviously, Basri had yet another corporate entity that he was hiding behind when operating his last restaurant failure (one that needed multiple corporations for some reason) but what is striking is that since a bulk sale transfer generally means all of the assets, what assets were available from Basri Emini and Carnivore Sandwich for the second bulk sale transfer that weren’t available 8 days earlier for the first one? What assets of 7th & Broadway Inc. were available for distribution to creditors that were transferred instead to Como Ceviche Inc.?
Perhaps most importantly, considering there was a Federal Tax Lien on behalf of the IRS recorded on August 6, 2015, against Basri Emini, were assets illegally and fraudulently transferred to another entity and not surrendered to the IRS? Is this possibly the reason for the criminal complaint? We don’t know or have the answers to those questions but as we asked ourselves these questions, perhaps you too, Mr. or Ms. potential creditor, investor, business associate or employee, should ask yourself these same questions. Is it reasonable to think that the self-proclaimed marvelous, meticulous, passionate and ingenious businessman is operating in your and the public’s best interests, or do you find all of the facts stated above just a bit more plausible?
And, if by any chance you are not yet convinced, we again invite you to review the original post which further corroborates the above AND confirms more of his lies told under oath while perjuring himself in the documents linked above.
