Most of you know that Andy Esquivel is a worthless scumbag who sleeps with under-aged girls and refuses to pay child support for his children, but what you probably didn’t know is that Andy also takes advantage of high school kids to make money!  Following is a first-hand account form one of Andy’s former employees who was only in high school when Andy used him for cheap labor at his Xtreme Sushi shop and never paid for his work.
The testimony you are about to read has been forwarded to Davis County prosecutors to help illustrate the lengths to which Andy Esquivel will go to further his various scams and to make a buck.  John Steer, Andy’s low-life cousin, is also implicated in this scheme to defraud a young man with little experience in the ways of the world because he stood by and watched Andy extort work form this high school junior in the furtherance of Andy’s schemes.
Below is the brief testimony of Dakota Iverson of Bountiful Utah:
When I was a junior in high school there was a restaurant called Xtreme Sushi in Bountiful Utah. I was attending Bountiful High school and was in need of a job, so one day I wandered into Xtreme Sushi and applied.   The person who took my application and interviewed me was a man named Andy Esquivel.
Andy gave me the application and I basically got the job on the spot – quick and simple.  After a couple days Andy started ranting to me about “Xtagged”.   He said it was a website worth millions and billions of dollars and that it would make us all rich.  This was around the same time that Twitter was invented and it’s funny because he would always say that twitter was nothing compared to Xtagged and if they could get so popular and be worth so much money then that means Xtagged is going to be worth way more!
I went on working for Andy at Xtreme Sushi for  $6.50 an hour as the time passed and passed without me getting a pay check.  I think it was two months before I got my first check , and I do not recall the amount of money I was finally paid.  That first amount doesn’t really matter though because after that first two months, I never did see another dollar – nothing in the next four months that I worked for him.  Paychecks were not what I would call a ‘usually thing’ at all while working for Andy – in fact they did not really exist.  I went on for so long with out receiving money because every day without fail Andy would talk to me about Xtagged and he would say that he was giving me 1,000 shares of stock in the company. He promised that when the site took off, I would be able to sell my stock for “millions of dollars”. This didn’t get rid of my desire and right to be paid for my labor, but I trusted Andy because everything he said seemed to be in my favor.  He always seemed to care about my well being (or so I thought). I trusted in Andy because he was such a goodliar.
I feel stupid for believing Andy for 6 months with out receiving almost anything.  I was a kid in high school so I was very gullible.  Andy saw that gullibility in me and he decided to take advantage of it.
Though I did not ever complain for about not being paid, I made sure to keep track of every hour that I worked in hopes of being paid for my labor someday.  After all, that is what Andy told me to do because he always promised that soon I would receive my check.

One day I went to work and when I showed up at the restaurant I realized that the doors were locked and it was dark inside.  A lot of thing things were missing from in the restaurant. I am not sure who removed everything, but I’m certain it was Andy. It looked like he just ran away, which I finally learned is exactly what happened.  In the end he just packed up and ran away without paying me another dime and with out even saying a word.

I’ve calculated that Andy owes me 89.9 hours worth of labor at $6.50 and hour, which totals up to $584.35.  John Steer would be able to confirm this, because he was there while I worked all those hours.  I don’t ever expect to get paid and I’ve learned my lesson about who to trust and who to avoid.  Andy is definitely a person to avoid at all costs.  I hope he finally gets what’s coming to him in this trial.

What kind of Christian takes advantage of young kids working their way through high school?  What kind of person sits back and watches while a scam artist like Andy Esquivel extorts money from children?  The answer is simple – Andy Esquivel is no Christian and John Steer is no human being.  Both men are leaches and one day Karma will catch up to both of them for what they’ve done.
I’d like to thank Dakota for his courage in sharing this story.  None of us likes to be conned and it’s hard to admit when it happens, but at least we can alert the world and save others from making the same mistakes.  Andy Esquivel and John Steer are a collective mistake – period!  Wherever they are, they should be reminded of the people they’ve hurt and the trail of lies they’ve left behind.  One day soon it will catch up to both of them, and those of us who believe in justice will be there waiting and cheering.

In the following email [PDF] which Andy Esquivel sent on June 29th, 2010, Andy announces to his followers that they are all “Billionaires!!!!!!”.  The a doctored image of a mysterious device is then proudly attached to the email in order to convince Andy’s followers that soem new Xtagged invention has been released that will ensure them instant fame and fortune!

Unfortunately for Andy, the device was neither an Xtagged product at all, but a prototype LG spart-phone concept from LG (actual photo to the right).

Andy Esquivel gets tough on the court!  On April 10th, Andy posted the following on his Diigo blog:

04/08/2013 Ladd Q. (6924 read) – karmacause@ymail.com – WHY are the plaintiffs paperwork called securities but not Ladd’s, Allen’s, Jeff’s, etc. all true Xtagged owners want this fake securities case dropped A.S.A.P!

As you can see, Andy is mad!  He wants to know why Ladd Quayle’s Xtagged paperwork isn’t referred to as a “security” while the Ryion, Chris and Kyle’s paperwork is.

Andy Esquivel’s fake “Wiser No Phone Zone” app to debut at trial on June 12th!  Andy has stated in recent blog posts that:

“The men connected to 2008-2013 conspiracy will be charged with drivers deaths for the last three years Wiser N.P.Z app would have saved lives.”

It’ll be exciting to hear Andy’s testimony about this fake app, which Andy claims that he donated to a deceased child in Colorado, in court on June 12th.  I’m sure the jury will be impressed.

Under the new YouTube profile “UtahVenger” (which must be some kind of super-hero alter-ego or something), Andy has released a “psychedelic” new music video.  The video starts off with Andy going over the evidence he’s compiled to comply with the March 26th discovery deadline in his securities fraud case.

In spite of the fact that Andy Esquivel has now lost two attorneys because of his propensity for mouthing off online, our little friend from Colorado still hasn’t learned his lesson.  Andy is now posting on YouTube and claiming that I’m somehow going to “prison” in connection with HIS securities fraud case.

The audio transcript of Andy Esquivel’s February 26th pre-trial hearing is online now exclusively at Xtagged.co!

[AUDIO TRANSCRIPT]

Andy has been bragging on his various scam blogs that you can call the court and order “video” of the proceeding, but (as usual) Andy is lying.  No video is available of the hearing, only the audio we provide here.

Andy Esquivel has posted another psychotic video in which he rants about his former public defender William Albright in a display that is almost certainly a ploy to convince the judge that he is mentally incompetent to stand trial.  Here’s the video:

[Video Link]

The video is a rambling mess in which And accuses Albright of basically being computer illiterate, and then accuses him of posting a YouTube video making fun of Andy, which makes zero sense.
