What a Scum-Bag! He deserves to be imprisioned. Hope he likes HIS new neighbor, BUBBA!

He will find out what MYSPACE is - and it's about the size of a jail cell... LOL

In our country, we are innocent until proven guilty. There is more than one side to every story.

It's a shame, this man has been fooling and scamming anyone and everyone he can, for many years now. It's all finally catching up with him and he has ruined many lives, including that of his children and family.

i know someone else that he robbed her insurance premiums. he is a total thief... feel bad for his kids

somebody should have been warned when he said Bernie Maddoff was his idol.

he has been scamming for years from his days in the insurance business to his ownership with the deli in reisterstown and every other business contact he has ever had. As soon as they can see through all that he will get what he deserves. Daddy can't pay his way this time. LM baltimore

Rodney should be ashamed of himself for the people he hurt. He was my insurance agent for a few years until I caught wind of his "business practices" and I cut him loose. I feel bad for his family and children, and all the victims of his crime. The past and present evidence seems clear that Rodney is just a simple crook that could careless about anybody but himself. He truly deserves what is coming to him. Anybody that stands by him or tries to defend him should be laughed at. I will miss his humorous Facebook posts, but that's about all I will miss about this piece of sh!t.

His whole life he's bullied people and gotten enjoyment at the expense of others. It's insidious what he did to others that entrusted him. If his wife has any intelligence or love for her kids, she'll run from him and find someone who can raise her children with a decent value system. Kids are resilient - they will recover. There's still time for them to learn how to live a decent life - as long as their father isn't a part of it.

Fortunately for his family they will not need to run from him b/c he will be hanging with "Bubba" for quite sometime. He isn't getting off so easy this time and the severity of his crimes will keep him where he belongs for many years. You have to feel for his family as they are victims as well.

Rodney's wife, Jill is just as guilty. She has been spending the loot as fast as Rodney has been steeling it! Don't tell me that his wife didn't know what he did for a living. No more Ruth's Chris steaks for the Getlans. Rodney has been a lifetime thief. He would rob his parent's friends house while they were away for vacations by using the key to their house that his parents were trusted with. Rodney even took a credit card out under his mother's name while she was on her death bed, spent it to the max, then when the credit card company tried to collect their past due balance, Rodney told them that his mother had died and that he wasnt responsible for her debts!!

She definitely didn't know he was stealing it!

I feel really badly about Jill. She's living a nightmare, and the publicity of the ordeal only adds to the pain and humiliation. I hope she has a strong support system of friends and family. She will find the strength within herself to get through this. Every day is a day forward, even if some days may not feel like it. She's young enough to rebuild. Wishing her strength.

Hey "HONEST" and I am SURE you know ALL of Jill's personal finances right? You are 100% CERTAIN that the money she spent to go to Florida was tainted right? Of course you do. You absolutely are 100% sure, before opening your pie hole, and judging her that you have gone through her books, and checked each and every deposit and withdraw to make sure it was not Rodney's correct? You KNOW without a DOUBT that any penny she spends tomorrow will not be HER penny, because you of COURSE know where ALL money in her life comes from right? AND we all know KNOW of course if someone in your family was guilty, and you STILL had your own, loot, you would absolutely move into an apartment anyway right?!!? Of course you would!!! And you would give money back to victims, even if it was gone, and you had nothing to do with the fraud correct? of COURSE you would.....We are So PROUD of how you have thought through your statements....they are really SO logical and add up....G-D, I mean, we all wish we had your skills to make great "guesses" about what's going on in someone's life. Learn the facts first - O, We are sure you have no plans on doing that ;)

The fact is, you have no FACTS. You are a Monday night quarterback making guesses, based on what you "think". You admit and agree that you have no idea what sources of money she has on her own. So shut your face and move onto another topic where you can troll the boards with your best "guess" Troll.

So Mr.Honest, you have no clue what you are talking about!! Jill and her girls went to Florida to be with her parents and to get the kids away for a little happiness for a week, payed for by her parents you judgemental jerkoff!!!!! How dare you put up these accusations with out any proof at all. Jill and the girls have been left with nothing!! They are on foodstamps, medical assistance and have been through hell. Really?? The house? you really think they are there livin the dream?? NO they are there until they take the house away because they can't afford an apartment!!! What kind of a monster are you?? Did you live with them?? Do you know what went on in their house?? I am guessing you DO NOT!! You should be careful, Karma is a bitch Mr. Honest!!!!!

This article and comments should be about Rodney. let's try to keep opinions about his wife out of this. She has not been charged or accused of ANY wrong doing. It is Rodney's lack of judgement and scruples that should be discussed.

Good god the JEWS are upset, Rodney was my insurance broker I just found out about this story from my new broker Rodney you were always an arrogant prick i hope you enjoy your stay! And his wife had the good life. Now she needs to get a JOB!

While Rodney was a felon and what he was dong was by no means the right thing to do, he cared about his daughters so much. You all will probably sit here and say "well if he cared he should have been doing what he did" but if you knew Rodney, you could see it in his face how much he loved those girls. He would do anything for them and all he was concerned about was being a good father. Not all of you know Rodney and his family like that, but I do and he was a genuinely good family man.

My family's house is about to be foreclosed on because of Rodney getland's actions. I just hope we can redeem some of our lost monies with G-d's help.

Please stop the bickering. Remember the victims.

First and foremost, my thoughts and well wishes to you Herschel and all those hundreds of people he did this to!
Second.. OF course she knew! Noone lives with someone for that long and hasn't an idea; if lifestyle changes so radically suddenly. Unless of course she is a complete idiot! Isn't she STILL living in the same BIG house?! WOW! Speaks volumes to her character; or lack there of! Just started working! HOW did she swing that?! LAZY!!! SELFISH and obviously lacking in moral character She tried to divorce him only to save her ASS and her lifestyle. Nothing more, nothing less.What scumbag! I've seen her out and around town... Looks like she has plenty of money for social events, when others are losing their homes! Nice touch!

Rodney Getlan scammed us for 27,000 dollars and i pray that God deal with him in his own way. Me and my family is battling to save our home. I hope we will get our money back. For you to be a so-called good father and family man, how can you do that to other people that loves and care for their daughters and sons and want what best for them. You took our trust away and you should be punish by the courts and a much higher court. As God is my witness you will pay. The bible says whatever you do to the least of mines it will be done to you. So you scam us and someone is going to do the same to you and your family. You are a lier and a cheat and may God have mercy upon your soul.

Goneba - this scum also stole almost 30,000.00 from my family and we are most likley losing our home, I do not wish God to have any mercy on his soul and I dont care where his wife and children up - he knew what he was doing and he didnt care about our families or children I hope he rots in hell after he gets what he deserves in jail and I hope they give it to him good! I have never had so much hatred for anything ever.

He is a horrible man and thankfully he got caught. The problem here is that she is going to get away with it. She knew and knows. One of her daughters is at an expensive sleep away camp. She's still in the house. I don't for a minute think she is innocent.

According to the MD Judiciary Case Search, Getlan has a court date scheduled for Wednesday, 9/5/12. Looks like he has some other criminal charge against him.

The sad part to me is all those out there making such a large transaction, perhaps the largest in their lives, that have no clue how to handle it! If in doubt, hire an attorney for a few hundred dollars to go over the paper work. What's $200 when the transaction is hundreds of thousands?

You know.. her friends on here screaming and yelling with all this profanity.. classy ladies! But I think that you are screaming so loudly because you know it to be truth. BTW, with all of these people who have literally been thrown out on the streets losing their entire life investments and savings..Good ole' Rod gets 3 squares now and his wife is still living in HER home!

Heard he got 25 years sentence today. Hope Rodney now gets the gravity of everything he's done to the victims as well as his family, now, he certainly has the time to learn from it.

Comments by Alina M and Neily J have been deleted because of profanity.

He was a bully in high school. None of this surprises me. My heart goes out to the victims. He will at least have a roof over his head. Many of his victims no longer will have that.

Rodney was my friend from high school and I never knew him as a bully. He had a whole side to him that I was unaware of and although we had not been close in recent years, I still saw him on occasion. He was fun to be around and was a good friend in that he would be here when you needed him ie attending funerals and bday calls and so on. However, I did have any idea of his illicit Activities and when I did, I wanted nothing more to do with him. I do believe for what it's worth that Jill was unaware of his activities at least until it hit the fan. I am truly sorry for his victims and feel for them. It's hard to believe this is the same guy I was friends with...

Welcome to the Patch Old friend.

Thanks to Rodney’s greedy ways, many people had to declare bk and it will take them years, if ever to recover from this financial nightmare. Luckily, he’s been locked up and if I’m not mistaken, it’s for good. His children and his parents must be so ashamed. I too knew Rodney years ago, and yes he was a bully then. But a thief is a different story. . I’m not so sure about his wife’s innocence. I think she had to have known something.. Either way, she seems to have moved on rather quickly. I would think that after that long of a marriage/relationship a person would take a little time to gather herself together, especially given the circumstances. But she did not. She’s got a new man who probably pays for everything. I don’t think she ever worked a hard day in her life! Is she working now? How does she afford to go out and do all that she does? What sacrifices has she had to make? She should be forced to sell that house, her car, etc…The profits should be distributed to some of the victims. Fruit of the poison tree. I hope those that lost so much can come out of this and hopefully even further along!
