Details of Disappearance

Beck was last seen in the 1300 block of Clay Street in Oakland, California on February 9, 2016. He may have boarded a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train at 9:06 a.m., at the 12th Street station. He was en route to a court meeting with his lawyer, but never arrived. He has never been heard from again.

At the time of his disappearance, Beck was facing a $113 million judgment from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and had been fighting the judgment for four years. He had been the founder of John Beck Amazing Profits and, along with associates, sold bogus real estate and internet marketing kits, which is why the FTC took action against him.

Beck's family stated he had never gone missing before and was not the sort of person to do anything to cause unnecessary worry. His case remains unsolved.
