“Now I tell you all of this because I’ve made a commitment to see this through to the end and so that he’s no longer allowed to to do this to Georgia residents or anyone else,” he continued. “Josh Waites has far bigger issues than what i am posting tonight and I will be posting those as i am allowed .. I encourage anyone who has had any dealings with this man to contact myself or our attorneys as the list is growing.”
