Genie BRM, a Nevada-registered behavioral risk-management company, is drawing public attention following revelations about the criminal history of its officer and co-founder, Randall (Randy) Roth. Roth—who also held executive positions with Ooblix Inc. and Ooblix Lending Group LLC—and according to court records, has a documented record of fraud-related convictions and a long trail of civil judgments for deceit and breach of contract. Court filings show that since 1991, Roth has accumulated more than 90 unpaid judgments tied to fraud and financial misconduct.
Genie BRM’s Leadership
The leadership of Genie BRM includes individuals already linked to previous legal controversies. According to public records, both of the company’s founders, including Roth and fellow officer James Sinclair, were previously associated with Ooblix, a firm now facing lawsuits alleging fraud and unfair business practices, as detailed in a pending complaint and a judgment. The overlap of personnel between Ooblix and Genie BRM could lead to questions about the latter’s credibility and corporate governance.
Randall Roth’s Criminal Record: A Pattern of Financial Crimes
Roth’s criminal history extends over three decades and includes federal and state convictions for fraud, forgery, and theft, as documented in public court records:
2008 Federal Fraud Conviction – $2 Million Scheme
In 2008, Roth pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to multiple federal fraud charges. He was sentenced to 63 months in prison for participating in a financial scheme that caused more than $2 million in losses. Prosecutors documented a pattern of deceptive behavior that included:
• Forgery of counterfeit securities
• Wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud
• Falsified real-estate and investment documents
2015 Los Angeles Business Fraud Case
In 2015, Roth faced charges in Los Angeles Superior Court under California Business & Professions Code 7028(a) and Penal Code 487(a) for unlicensed contracting and financial deception. Court records indicate that restitution was ordered as part of the resolution.
2020 California Grand Theft Conviction
Most recently, in 2020, Roth was convicted of multiple felony counts of grand theft under Penal Code 487(a), involving the unlawful taking of funds exceeding $950. This conviction added to his extensive record of financial crimes and reinforced a consistent pattern of fraudulent conduct.
Genie BRM Under Scrutiny
While Genie BRM markets itself as a behavioral analytics and corporate-risk-monitoring firm, some observers may question how the prior criminal history of one of its officers could be perceived in the marketplace. Randall Roth, a co-founder and officer of Genie BRM, has been convicted of multiple financial crimes, a matter of public record.
Genie BRM was launched following the wind-down of Ooblix-related entities and includes overlapping leadership. As a result, questions have been raised publicly about continuity, governance, and transparency, particularly given Roth’s criminal background. To date, Genie BRM has not publicly addressed these concerns.
James (Jim) Sinclair’s Role in Genie BRM and Ongoing Litigation
James Sinclair—also known as Jim Sinclair—is listed as an officer of Genie BRM, the Nevada-registered behavioral risk-management company co-founded alongside Randall Roth. Public filings confirm that Sinclair holds a leadership position within Genie BRM, where he reportedly oversees technology, data, and systems development. However, Sinclair’s involvement with Genie BRM could draw attention in light of his inclusion as a named defendant in an ongoing lawsuit filed by Jones in the Superior Court of California for Orange County and a lawsuit judgment against Ooblix for unpaid contractor work. The Jones lawsuit accuses Sinclair, Roth, and others of fraud, breach of contract, and unfair business practices stemming from their operations under Ooblix Inc. and Ooblix Lending Group LLC—entities now defunct but closely connected to the current officers of Genie BRM.
According to a PI report, it has been noted that Genie BRM appears to share significant continuity with the previous Ooblix network, both in leadership and in its business model. The launch of Genie BRM in August 2025 was publicly described as a pivot toward behavioral analytics and risk monitoring, yet the company’s association with executives facing active fraud litigation has raised questions about transparency and oversight. It could be argued that Genie BRM’s operations, branding, and corporate governance deserve scrutiny given that one of its officers, James Sinclair, is presently being sued for alleged misrepresentation in connection with the same investment activities that previously involved Ooblix.
While no formal allegations have been filed against Genie BRM itself, the company’s leadership structure—featuring both Randall Roth and James Sinclair—has made Genie BRM the focus of growing public and legal interest. Observers continue to question whether Genie BRM’s corporate model and internal controls will withstand regulatory and reputational scrutiny as the ongoing court case against Sinclair and Roth unfolds.
