Although it is unclear, there seems to be some problem with his changing party affiliations too late to claim he is a "Tea Party" member in time for that designation to appear on the ballot.
He seems to have had a nifty auction racket. Before his license lapsed, he was a certified auctioneer. People would give him stuff to auction off; he would hold the auction; he would remunerate nothing or little to the owners of the property auctioned.
Besides the bounced check, the county and state are looking into other business licenses this con man may hold.

Ashjian has his fingers in a lot of pies, at least on paper. But to be accurate, the auction racket is his brother-in-law's business, not Scott Ashjian’s. Ashjian’s sister, Romy, is divorced from her husband. I can't determine how recent the divorce was, but according to the newspaper report they are still working together. The husband's last name is Deiro. Deiro’s father, who has a good reputation in the state, sold the business to his son and is currently estranged from him. The father feels that his son has dishonored the family name.
I don't think we can honestly fault Ashjian for his ex brother-in-laws moral lapses. However, I do find it relevant that his sister Romy is registered as one of the Executive Committee Members on the document Ashjian filed with Nevada for the Tea Party.
