Sharon Logan’s bankruptcy went through — but she still owes half a million in criminal restitution for her thefts and embezzlements.

Last month, the bankruptcy court granted 6Time Financial Felon Sharon Logan a Chapter 7 discharge. That means the grifter doesn’t have to pay back any of the many civil debts and judgments she accumulated since her last bankruptcy in 1999. (Not that she was trying.)


Fortunately for 6Time’s many theft victims, however, her bankruptcy doesn’t affect the criminal court ordered restitution she owes, which totals more than $500,000 with interest. But it’s up to the victims to chase Logan down and collect it, which can be an expensive process.

For someone who wasn’t even paying her income taxes for the past three years, Logan sure kept spending. Notice that as recently as 2021, Logan was racking up debt for luxuries such as Victoria’s Secret and Nordstrom. In 2019, she bought a new Chevy Trax.

When Logan filed for bankruptcy on August 27, 2022, she actually had a well-paying job. That’s because in late 2021, Logan conned a law firm into hiring her as its office manager — handling its payroll and client trust account. Keep in mind, all Logan’s previous embezzlements and thefts from employers involved payroll theft.

Logan tricked the law firm by extensively fabricating her experience on her resume. She didn’t mention her criminal background.

Most of Logan’s debt wasn’t from credit cards. That make sense, since her credit would have been so lousy, what with all the judgments against her over the past two decades, that she couldn’t qualify for much credit. Rather the debt was from civil judgments against her and unpaid taxes over the years.

Anyway, you’d think that with making nearly $6,000 a month, Logan could have at least paid her recent income taxes, if not her judgments and credit cards. But Logan claimed she had ongoing expenses that outstripped her income.

What put her over the limit, you may ask? It was the need to spend $250 per month on twice-monthly facials at the Skin Laundry spa in Newport Beach.

Notice that Logan also claimed the need to support her mother to the tune of $200 per month. However, a former friend and landlord, “Ms. G,” (we posted our interview with her previously), said Logan told her that her mother was well off, owned two properties in southern California, and helped out Logan financially from time to time. (That’s a standard grifter play, to claim they come from money. It makes people less likely to suspect they’ll steal.)

We caution against taking Logan’s word for anything, of course. At any rate, we could confirm neither Logan’s mother’s alleged neediness, nor her alleged wealth. Logan’s mother goes by “Ann Logan,” as we’ve found on court papers, and is also known as Ngoc Anh Thi Nguyen. We did find evidence that she owns one modest house in southern Florida.

The court took Logan’s word for everything. That’s how it goes in bankruptcy court, unless a creditor opposes the bankruptcy. And that requires legal work, and legal work costs money. So, creditors don’t do it unless the debtor owns real estate of substantial value, or has some major source of income. Despite Logan’s claims of owning a million-dollar condo by the beach, she has no real estate.

She doesn’t even have that job anymore, as of September, 2022. That was when the law firm found out her real history.

You may wonder: Why did Logan wait so long to file another bankruptcy? She was pretty consistently racking up civil judgments and unpaid taxes in the 23 years since, as we see from her bankruptcy petition. You can file every 7 years.

We think we know why. First, Logan filed her petition on August 27, 2022 — five weeks after we started this Page. Shortly before she filed, we posted about a creditor who’d been trying to hunt her down to garnish her wages, but couldn’t find her. (A man named David Fee had loaned Logan money to buy a car shortly after one of her prison stints, and she’d welched on the debt.) We asked the public for information to help them out.

At the time, Logan had that well-paying office manager job at the law firm. Had the creditor learned about that, they probably would have actually been able to get something by garnishing her wages.

And, with our awareness effort, that was likely to happen eventually — unless Logan filed bankruptcy.

Also around that time, we posted about how Logan bilked a now-deceased Mission Viejo attorney, who for some reason (which we’re still wondering about) didn’t prosecute her. But he did successfully sue her. (His judgment against her is on Logan’s creditor’s list under Brady Adam Price, above.)

We mentioned the possibility of getting his next of kin to assign us that judgment. (We weren’t seriously going to ask, but Logan didn’t know that.) That would have given us, personally, the ability to make Logan sit for a debtor’s examination, which meant she’d have to answer our questions under penalty of perjury. We’re betting Logan didn’t like that idea.

It costs money to file bankruptcy. That’s why people with no money usually don’t bother. Bankruptcy protects debtors from garnishment. Logan owned no real estate, and for many years didn’t have stable employment, as reflected in her many (many, many) court records. She was what we call “judgment proof,” meaning she had no collectible assets.

But when Logan conned her way into that law firm job, she suddenly had something to garnish — and, with us blasting her con artist history around, she suddenly had to worry her creditors could find her.

Notice that as loud as Logan is on social media, she’s always kept mum about where and how she earns a living. Her LinkedIn is all about Paw Protectors, as if that’s a job. (It isn’t, at least according to her filings with the IRS and secretary for state, which claim no one takes a salary from the nonprofit.) She also lies about where she lives. She hasn’t lived in Seal Beach since her ex-boyfriend evicted her in 2012 and got a restraining order against her that lasted until 2021.

The bankruptcy backfired on Logan. It’s a public document, and she had to list her recent addresses and current source of income. We were watching.

As we previously reported, the law firm dumped Logan like a radioactive potato in September 2022, once they learned her true history. We don’t know what she’s doing for money now.

We do know, however, what female grifters with a history of prostitution (to which Logan has admitted) *often* do as they get older. (Logan turns 55 this July.) We know this from experience in our law practice, dealing with estate litigation and elder abuse. It is common for them to latch onto elderly people with assets, sometimes as romantic partners, as caregivers, or both. They pressure the elderly person into giving them control over their finances, adding their names to their real estate deeds, etc. (Or, sometimes, they just forge their names on documents.)

So, that’s what we’ll be watching for as we continue to chronicle 6Time’s antics. But maybe she’ll surprise us with some other scheme we haven’t thought of. She’s the expert, after all.
