The guy in the middle is Rick Wells, the one that lied to the UGLE to become a member of Internet Lodge #9659 and subsequently gain admittance into a lodge in Massachusetts, if I'm not mistaken. The guy on the right also lied about being a member of Internet Lodge #9659 and claimed to have been named Provincial Grand Master of the East Lancashire District of the UGLE. View attachment 4227
Texas isn't as bad as Illinois and New York. Check out http://www.thephylaxis.org/bogus/bogusgrandlodges.php to see the bogus grand lodges by state.I am curious as to why it seems most clandestine lodges in America exist in Texas, and predominantly in the black community? I ask this purely from ignorance and true interest.
Do other countries/territories deal with this same issue? I know France seems to be the home to co-masonry and is considered irregular by American lodges.

Amazing. What I don't get is what do they get out of it? Is there money in it so they are something as simple as a con artist, or is it the prestige of the degrees or?
