Navy Seal Imposter, Bogus Academic, Fraudulent Combat Medals
Claimant, Suspected Bigot, Phony Minister and perhaps even worse

New - Sutter FORGED his own medical records to feign disability!

Quote from one of Sutter's "Editors": “I am not an editor on [Sutter’s Chasing Evil] site.  I did contribute an article in the past, before I knew who he was, but I never gave him permission to use my name as he is doing. The e-mail account that he says is mine doesn’t belong to me.”
 

James M. Sutter is a small-time con artist who began masquerading as a Christian minister in the early-1990's, a few years before his second felony conviction in 1996 for defrauding and stealing from an array of creditors and businesses.  Although he currently calls himself "Reverend," his religious title is actually based on a $10 certificate to perform marriages.  His experience as a church pastor is just as fictitious as the three PhD's and combat decorations that he also claims to have earned.

In the past, Sutter has amused himself by conning people with disabilities, veterans, Christians and even rape victims by pretending to be something that he is not.  His latest scheme has been to try and fool people into thinking that he is an "anti-hate" crusader.  He uses his website, ChasingEvil.org to attack personal enemies (usually those who have exposed him as a fraud) and to do harm to the reputations of businesses with baseless and shallow accusations of racism and "hate-mongering."

Although the lies that he tells about others are shockingly malicious, Sutter's many tall tales about himself are sometimes amusing.  At the very least, they demonstrate why he is not taken seriously by reputable publishers, even on the Left.

About this Site


As can be seen, "Reverend" Jim Sutter is a cynic and a poseur who is not worth anyone's time.  He is a prodigious liar who does not believe the things that he says about himself or others.  He is an insincere man-child and an embarrassment to those who take seriously the issues that he abuses merely to attack personal enemies.

Perhaps worst of all, Jim Sutter is a thief.  He steals the accomplishments of true academics by claiming phony doctorates.  He shamelessly cheapens the sacrifice of heroes in uniform, who actually earned the combat medals and decorations that this peacetime Navy dropout merely writes into his resume.   He even steals from the public welfare roll by refusing to work.  Now he is using lies to try and steal the reputation and good name of others merely to make a name for himself.
