Skip Moschetti; if you’re going to lie, lie big
So we got this in email today, from a reliable source, about another security company CEO who thinks that he’s above having actual military service commensurate with his claims. This one is Skip Moschetti, the CEO of Advanced Tactical Investigations Inc.
He claims all kinds of stuff, like the time he narrowly saved President George HW Bush from a nearly-successful assassination attempt, and how he had to brief George W Bush personally daily on terrorism. He also claims that his name is frequently mentioned as a vice presidential candidate in the Democrat Party.
I don’t know if all that’s true, but I can make a guess based on what he claims is his military background;
Mr. Moschetti is a highly decorated veteran. He received the Congressional Medal of Honor, for heroism and courage in the face of the enemy, as well as this nations 2nd, highest honor, The Distinguished Service Cross, the nations 3rd highest decoration, (3) The Silver Star, and an array of medals, including eight Purple Hearts, for injuries received in combat.
I don’t know about the Silver Stars or the Purple Hearts, but it seems the Congressional Medal of Honor Society doesn’t have him listed, as if you’re surprised. And the Home of Heroes doesn’t have him listed for the Distinguished Service Cross.
So, in case he decides to make a half-assed attempt at cleaning up his mess, here’s a screen shot of his lunacy;
Only a dumbass would hire this assclown, even if they only hired him to set D-Con Rat traps.

Shouldn’t he be calling himself Dr. Moschetti after most likely fabricating his Ph.D?
Phone has been disconnected!
I guess the PhD really does stand for ‘piled higher and deeper.’
So, Master Chief, does the phone being disconnected mean that I don’t have to call the CIA to confirm Moschetti’s connection to them, after all?
I have personally met and even hung out with this guy in LA back in 2000-2001. He was claiming to be a medical doctor in those days, in addition to all the CIA stuff. No Medal of Honor mention or anything like that; maybe he ‘won’ it afterwards.
He is an intriguing character, that’s for sure. His whole back was covered in scars from what he said was being tortured in Central America in the ’80s. He also had many guns and lots of cash stored throughout his large rented Beverly Hills home.
As for his bonafides, most people I know who knew him though he was a fraud. He threw some really good house parties and had access to good drugs. He also had lots of teenage boys hanging around him and living in that house. He called them his ‘sons,’ but nobody was buying that.
Oh, and in March 2000, he had several plastic surgeries performed on his face in one go. That was quite unusual, even he admitted.
This guy is most certainly a fraud, but his knowledge, those scars and all those guns and cash means he is probably a damn good fraud. I stopped associating with him by 2001.

I knew him from the 90’s and have loosely kept up with him. I’ve known he was a fraud since the 90’s, i just chose to not confront him as i thought it harmless. I run in some of the same circles and hear it all. Where do i start. I know he is only 56 years old, he claims to be a Vietnam Vet – highly decorated no doubt. Skip claimed he was an MD which i checked on and found to be totally false, He admitted to me that he was a homo-sexual which makes sense with all the young boys. He also told me about some of the scars – camping accident, motor cycle accident, car accident etc… I believe he has leveraged his false Hero status to bilk and con people out of money. He also has claimed he has cancer and i know he has also used that to prey on sympathetic elderly people to con them out of their hard earned money. I do not believe he has any sickness other than his head. This guy is a bona-fide sociopathic liar and a criminal. He needs to be in bars. I have many more stories, too many to tell in this blog. I guess it was time to speak out. Surprised it didn’t happen sooner. Also surprised he’s not in jail. If anyone runs into this character, turn him in to the authorities. He’s armed and dangerous.
Skip Moschetti is a criminal. This guy beat me out of a lot of money with all his lies and tall tails. I was stupid or maybe infatuated with his hero BS. So i guess he isn’t a delta-force commander…lol. For being a special forces guy i never saw anyone so out of shape. How could i have believed it. He’s smooth. Wonder how many people he screwed. Hope i’m not the only moron that believed his stories. Misery needs company. If you find him tell him i want my money for his life saving operations. Careful, this guy also is an LA Cop. He use to flash this badge all the time. He isn’t and wasn’t. I asked a cop friend.
So, let me see: He’s the following: MD, Special Forces Commander, CIA #2, PHd, LA COP, Drug Addict, Homo-Sexual, Won Medal of Honor, Has Cancer, Secret Service, Con man, Liar, War Veteran.
Yep,i knew it,he’s a Congressman for sure
What Mr. Moschetti needs is help. He obviously needs psych help. He is a classic sociopath. Our country is filled full of mentally ill people that need attention. Does he have any parents or siblings? Maybe they can help him… maybe they are the problem? Either way this gentleman needs help. No sense beating him up. I’m sure he’s been beaten down enough by now. Show some compassion. What is the solution instead of the problem? Mr. Moschetti, get some help. You can be helped if you so choose. It will free you. God is good.
@#60:
The only help he needs is some one on one, back alley counseling. He is healthy enough to perpetrate his fraud, and fully knows what he is doing. Scrue him.
This one we may need Sherlock Holmes to figure.
One: No comment since 12 August until;
Two: A comment today at 6:38 p.m., followed by another, and another and yet another –all within about 2 hours and;
Three: Each of the four commenters has a different tag.
Coincidence? Or is it that some nut is carrying on a one-person conversation? Gee…
Each commenter had a different tag, but when I moused over the tag, the same URL popped up down in the corner. Comes back to a ” Clooney7168@gmail.com “
Yeah, Frank. I knew you knew. I don’t know whether the commenter thinks we are all stupid here or just some of us. It’s rather insulting.
Well I have known him for many many years. He had a ECM school in La Jolla of which I attended. It was really good, great information. I don’t remember him saying those things in class, but we were in school. I last heard he was in San Jose Costa Rica working in CP or so I was told. Someone else said that he was in Europe. Sorry to hear so many negative comments, because he had a great school. Does anyone know where he is? Take care.
i knew him well. he is, and always has been an absolute fraud. skip moschetti is not his real name. he is the worst person i have ever known. everything bad about him listed above is absolutely true. yes he is gay for young men. no he wasnt in ‘nam. he definately scams innocent people out of $$$$$$$. he is also a severe drug addict, most of his scars are self inflicted. he does that while on heroin. what he claimed to be bullet wounds look nothing like real bullet wounds. hope he dies.
@66.
Right on!
he assaulted a high school kid and cops busted him. they said his real name was something like robert robinson or robertson, cant remamber exactly. his other alias is guilano p ferarri. machetti and ferarri, sounds like its from a movie eh?
i am trying to think of his list of lies he told to me:
has 4 blackbelts in different martial arts
goes at night to places where muggers will target him and beats them half to death
still goes back to vietnam to rescue pows, alone
member of mensa
has 16 million in the bank
phd and practicing psychiatrist
makes 20k a day in interest alone (yet he lived in a $600 a month apt)
he would claim to give blow jobs to various friends and pro surfers in effort to seduce straight teen males into being gay with him.
he would also tell the kids hes dying of cancer and they are in his will
he really worked as a bouncer for a bit, hes big, 6’2 and 230, probably fatter now, but many have seen him puss out when someone came after him
but he did enjoy bullying people who were too scared to fight back
he really did have giant bricks of taped up drugs in his house at 1 point
he should be 62 now
he has scammed a few legit writers into writing articles about him
he was a pill popper, i am sure it was opiates cuz he was known to do heroin
he lied himself respectable in a time before the internet existed to catch his lies. adults knew he was full of shiit so he hung out with mostly teens
i’ll return and post more when i can think of it
Wow, thanks for the update guys/gals. I won’t bother to look for him because it sounds like trouble. take care. Thanks for the info.
Don’t confuse me with no. 57, I knew him well. I am ( I know him very well). I guess I don’t him that well, but I use present tense (know), because I assume that he is still alive. Knew sounds like past tense. Just FYI. But thanks for all the information about him, I really had no idea he was saying all these crazy things. Sad, because he was a good ECM teacher. Thanks again for the information and clarification. Have a good week.

Like post#55, #58, #66, #68, #70, #65 “He is an intriguing character, that’s for sure. His whole back was covered in scars from what he said was being tortured in Central America in the ’80s.

I stopped associating with him by 2001.” Everything you mentioned is correct. At the time he claimed to be Trauma Surgeon for Cider Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. His LAPD badge is fake… he claims to be a retired LAPD Reserves Chief. As far as his company…. the name of the company has changed.. but there are a few info that has not.. there are also a few other of his former co-worker that I know that are real CIA or federal agents ( I can prove it using current legal documents and photos) and some of these people still vouch for him.. I have met him in 1999 and was close with him until 2007..I have given him more than US$150,000… and have it fully documented… In 2007 I pay for a plane ticket to get him here in Toronto Canada… to supposedly save his life.. and he was staying with me.. eventually things did not add up i have to have local police to escort him out.. I have his social security number, his address for the past 20 years.. He is born on Aug 26th, 1933 so he should be turning… Read more »
He gets my vote.
btw the way.. I have screenshot and documented all of investigationsinc.com that company was real..as its peak before September 2001, there were more than 20+ employees and it was not fake… They had one of the earliest Private Investigation License in the state.. Skip was one of the investigators, at the time he was an employee and not CEO..
The Investiagions Inc is base in San Diego.. later on it moved to Los Angeles… Advance Tactical Investigation Inc.. and then it become GSI
I have keep track of all the companies and the major people who owns and runs those companies.. All of those companies have one thing in common if you know what to look at.
I will not say more about GSI as I know enough about the company to not talk about it. Other than GSI is currently owned and run by a guy with a JD.. and has been consider an expert by the state and federal courts in serious criminal matters… with extensive ties to the US Department of State.
Oh.. if you wonder.. once upon a time ago I held a Provincial government issued Private Investigator License.. 50% of what I know I learned from Skip.. as i mentioned in Post # 73… when he came up to me in Toronto. He was going to open up a ECM school.. thank god I did not went for it.. I was already 150K in the hole.. because of him.. I went from being middle class to below poverty…..
Hope to get some of you to get back to me. cheers
Mandom H
#73… who the fk are you talking about? Skip is about my age, mid 50’s.
oooh another one: he said he had been a pro kickboxer, and he would let the biggest guy in the audience punch him in the neck. it would have no effect.
Mandom, he lives in Placentia California. Contact the Placentia Police department. We have already filed a complaint there. We weren’t the first. He is at home as I write this.
i’ve met skip. I’ve seen at least one purple heart, and his scars seem no way to be self inflicted. The scar from collar bone to collar bone for sure looks like a torture scar. He at the time in mid 00’s was yes addicted to meth living in Hollywood. When it comes to spy tech, and electronics,.. I would not doubt this guy was CIA trained. I think there is some truth to his stories, but I think he also lives in a bit of a fantasy land. Being old, and drugs will do that. Living where he was living, and driving a hummer, he had plenty of money. I personally believe that in his youth this man has done good for this country, but maybe as he got older and into drugs, being closeted cost him a bit of his sanity. He never did me wrong, and I’m sorry for anyone he did do wrong.
Dude…put down the crack pipe, and back away slowly.
@79 – not trying to be mean, but you’re being exceptionally naive if you believe any of the bullshit that Moschetti is putting out regarding his background. Just SEEING a Purple Heart doesn’t mean it’s legit. Anyone can buy one from an Army-Navy store or online and make up a fake certificate to go along with it, they’re readily available.
As for that scar…wouldn’t surprise me to hear that a fellow druggie had tried to slit his throat and aimed a bit low. Or maybe he was in the wrong part of town and was mugged. As for being CIA trained…anyone can go on line, read a lot of stuff, and set up shop and make themselves sound and look like someone out of a Tom Clancy novel.
Name “something good that he’s done for this country” that’s true and verifiable. It’s highly unlikely that you can, to say the least.
haven’t seen a lot to discredit him either
@82 Go find your butt buddies name on the listing of Awardees of the Medal of Honor. He claimed he was awarded it, and every single one of them is listed online. He isn’t on the list. That discredits his ass right there. Federal Crime if he has MOH displayed, because they are illegal to possess by anyone but the awardee.
What is kind of funny too in the most ironic of ways…. The man making the comments on facebook about this under the story, just got ripped to shreds in an Airborne group on facebook for embellishing the hell out of his background.
rb325th, if I remember correctly, it’s also a violation of federal law to possess a Medal of Honor unless one is the recipient, next of kin, or a direct descendant of the recipient. And yes, wearing one in public is also illegal if you’re not the recipient. It’s also illegal to sell one or produce replicas of it, too.
WOW this makes great reading material while on the SHITTER
I’m worried but know my friend is probably to deep, but yea he fed my friend (22) all these lies as well, and my friend just ditched his family friends and life and went to live with him… I’m not sure what to do.. he’s going to end up dead.
Help
Oh also this was less than a month ago
And also he’s in placentia
Well, guess I’ll contribute. Started talking to Skip back around 03/04. I had actually met him through my Dad when I was a kid but hadn’t heard from him for many years till around the time I coincidentally turned 18. He was, without a doubt, the most interesting person I’ve ever met. Sometimes scary, often times hilarious, but always undeniably intriguing. Even now, a decade later, I still wonder what shenanigans the old bastard is up to. My dad is what some might call a car salesman’s dream, so it was easy for Skip to pull a few over on him. I think I could see the impossibility of a lot of skip’s stories a little more clearly but played along anyway because I wanted to believe that Skip was a renegade who had the world nailed down and that he had chosen me because I was special in some way. I met him a couple times up at his place in hollywierd. He usually had a mess of guns, dildos, medals, tranny porn dvds, various home made surveillance gear and other random shit sporadically placed around his place. There was a very large safe, but I never learned the contents. All very interesting to an 18 year old, sheltered me. He also lived with a young night club owner named Pavlos iirc. Anyway, back then, I was young, energetic, eager to explore, and wanted to go out the couple times I went up. But Skip usually wanted to stay in. One night he attempted to get me to go to sleep (as in lie on a bed) with him. I’m not entirely sure what his intentions were, but as I’m heterosexual the proposition made me quite uncomfortable and so I declined. This experience damaged the glimmering veil of intrigue I had of Skip and strengthened my doubts. I did still speak with him, though, and he eventually offered to help me get a job up in LA and would let me live with him while I got on my feet. I was in need of employment at the time… Read more »
These letters just keep getting better and better. Stapler, interesting choice of words in describing your father’s gullibility, Car Salesman’s Dream, considering Skip’s father’s profession. I am guessing your father may know Skip’s dad.
Skip and his mother are blaming all these stories on his brother. Great family. Saying his brother is posting all these stories. Not true. I’m not his brother. I don’t even know how to be a Chef, like him.
So, Chef Moschetti…. your brother and mother are throwing you under the bus.
Skip is nothing but a complete liar about everything. His current cell is 310-xxx-xxxx Everyone should call him & let Skip know how much of a piece of gutter trash he really is. He’s a homeless couch surfer seeking to rip off anyone he can. His reputation is fly’s on shit. All he does is lie about everything . . . My dog has more brains then this worthless but ugly smelly old bald anal wart. I hope he hangs himself soon & give the World a break from his stupid lies . . .
