Online Predator

Ricardo Gustavo Jimenez
This is a difficult page to create; Mostly because of hurt pride, and embarassment I suppose. But I feel it necessary for closure and to alert anyone else that may speak to the guy known as “Rick Atlas", “Rick Atlasario", “Ricky Munk" “Muscle Munkey" or “Munk Atlas". A lot of this post is copied from my new friend Joe Villanova's blog (with his permission..), since we both seemed to have been lead down the same path...With the exception of a few questionable images, the person you see here (in the image to the left) his name is Ricardo Gustavo Jimenez. He is the REAL Muscle Monkey. His actual Facebook page can be viewed here. Known to friends and family by the nickname “Monkey", Mr. Jimenez is a resident of Texas. His online identy has been stolen and used by the fraud “Ricardo Nicholas Atlasario", a resident of Bogart, GA. Below is a video of the REAL “Monkey". this is NOT the voice I listened to for 4 years...


I first encountered the fraud in spring of 2006, via Myspace. I sent a message telling him “What a hot man" he was, and this began a 4 year odyssey of lies and deceit. I supposed I got off easy, as there are men that have been trapped in this idiot's lies for as much as 12 years. Eventually, he (we) moved from the now-ghetto Myspace to Facebook. Below is the original page;

Orignally, this page was called "Rick Atlas";
The name changes each time he is discovered as a fraud

This page is a complete fraud. Over the course of 4 years, the fraud wove a tale of Being an out-of-work teacher, working at Best Buy; Came from a large Greek/Italian family, with several siblings; Claimed to have managed a “Gold's Gym" for 13 years; having 3 children; Xander, Devlin, and Mykayla. (later I learned All names from the TV shows “Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or “Angel"). “Xander" was supposedly from a previous engagement that went sour; “Devlin" and “Mykayla" were supposedly with his best friend “Erin Navarro". This impostor, his imaginary children, the imaginary mother of his fictional children Erin Navarro, the supposed large Greek/Italian family...NONE are real. He is a 39 year old sociopath/psychopath living with his mother in GA. and working in a convenience store.

The Fraud/sociopath/psychopath's big mistake was introducing me to his alleged “Boyfriend" Kevin. When I ended this friendship/relationship/whatever, I personally just shrugged it off; He had his sights set on an obese porn star. Kevin, however, did not go gently into that good night. He began digging and digging and discoverd all the information in this post. By this time the fraud had moved on from the fat porn star, to a really nice man named Joe Villanova. Mr. Villanova was contacted about the fraud, 3 of us began coresponding and eventually discovered we had all been duped.

Apparently, this is not poor Mr Jimenez's first internet problem. Mr. villanova contacted Mr. Jimenez and he responded (From Joe's Blog);

Just wanted to let you the reader know that Ricardo, or RJ as he prefers to be called, responded back to me a week later from this blog post. He was very polite and was not a dickhead to me. I'm not going to publish his response as out of respect, I do consider it a private exchange between him & I. What I will say is that he understood what I was telling him, he did apologize (which I felt he didn't need to), some felt he chastised me to which I disagree, and I made it very clear to him in my response back that he should have taken stronger steps to stop imposters from impersonating him.

He will consider video as a deterrent against this form of theft of ID.

This blog post really is not about RJ anyway. He's a big boy and he can take care of himself. And honestly, he's not the first guy that people have stolen pics of him and certainly will not be the last.It's pretty clear to me and to most people that he's the real deal and these other assholes as I believe that there more than one person who's suspected real names are Shane Goettle ALIASES: GOETTLE, SHANE; GOETTLE, SHANE R; GOETTLE, SHANE ROBERT (from 2008) and the one I believe is the one I dealt with whose name is Torey M. Thrasher are scam artists, liars, petty thieves, criminals, psychopaths, and who knows what else. As I sit back astonished at the level of deceit in a person doing this, I find it so disturbing that Mr. Goettle and Mr. Thrasher (and other scumbags) would go to great lengths to portray themselves as something they are clearly not while at the same time hurting innocent people including trying to ruin the reputation of Mr. Jimenez and the people photographed with him who are innocent and have done nothing to warrant this. On the other hand it's not surprising to me...One thing you must understand is that sociopaths are extremly adept at convincing people that their bullshit is truth.

STOP LISTENING and START PAYING ATTENTION to what THEY SAY.


I know that many of you are embarrassed. I get it. I am embarrassed as well. We are all responsible for own actions. But if you don't fight back against these shitheads, they won't stop. Catching and then calling them out on their lies is the only way to get rid of them. If something about someone is not right and it's bothering you, listen to your gut. Since all this deception has come to light, the Facebook page has changed yet again;

I have received many threats from Mr. Thrasher; mindless ramblings of a Fraud/sociopath/psychopath caught in his web of lies and deciet. They all safely stored in case they are needed by the authorities. I doubt they will. One of them even stated “You don't know what I look like so you won't see me coming..." My my my...did you just ADMIT you're a fake? Mr. Jimenez's facebook now bears the perfect advice to anyone becoming involved via the internet;

ALWAYS Skype before you fall for a stranger on the Internet. Trust!


To the imposters; This theft and fraud you're committing.....first off, you're NOT the first person to do this so I hope it's worth it to you. Just remember that on the internet as long as you have an I.P. address, you are not anonymous. Also, you weren't exactly the brightest bulb in the room when you were having PC issues and you decided on using skype to share your desktop screen allowing Mr. Villanova, an I.T. professional, network & file server engineer, and contractor for the D.H.S. which is part of the U.S. Federal Government, to see your laptop, your desktop, and most important, your 2WIRE AT&T crap DSL modem along with the information of each of those devices shared openly displayed in front of me so he could see it with his own eyes. Not a very smart move on your part...
You will eventually be caught, arrested, and charged. I will be in the courtroom when you are. I will be at your parole hearings. count on it. I support Mr. Jimenez 100% in seeing you punished for what you're doing.

I'm so sorry; I am not afraid of you Mr. Thrasher...!
