Bob Hartheimer, CEO of Tennessee’s Evolve Bank & Trust, was fired after U.S. law enforcement officials caught him propositioning a law enforcement officer posing as a 15-year-old boy on gay dating app Grindr.
On Oct. 19, an employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation logged onto Grindr while pretending to be a teen boy, and a user called “Tomm” wrote a message to that person saying, “Hey any chance u would hu with an older and chill guy,” according to an affidavit from a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation that was unsealed on Tuesday.
The two discussed getting together in person later in the week, according to the affidavit. On Snapchat, they talked about the sex acts they might perform. “Tomm” asked for a photo of the “boy” without shorts on, and he also sent the undercover agent a picture of himself naked. The FBI was able to obtain an IP address for “Tomm” from Snapchat, as well as an address from Comcast, the affidavit showed.
Hartheimer was arrested in Memphis on Oct. 23 for attempted production of child pornography and transfer of obscene material to a minor, according to a warrant.
An Evolve spokesperson and Blake Ballin, a lawyer representing Hartheimer, told CNBC on Saturday that Evolve has fired the CEO.
“Bob’s family is aware of the charges,” Ballin wrote in an email. “His family loves and supports him and requests privacy during this difficult period in their lives. We have no further comment at this time.”

“this difficult period”
Where’s the “love is love” crowd on this one? Are they going to argue about age of consent laws being the real issue? When you tolerate degeneracy you’re going to get more of it.
He will enjoy the prison life.
As a matter of fact, they do support it.
Yeah. He looks real “chill” now.😆
Hired in this job just a few months ago. Pretty sure he’s longtime married (to a woman) and has children.
The stuff people put on the internet...sheesh
Only a grinder predator would hire Mr. Ballin for an attorney. Privacy Nope. Who else has he hooked up with?
Faggot predators gonna predate.
I guess he “evolved.”
It’s a mental illness, not treatable except by confinement or castration.
Nonsense.
I can think of several cures….. a neck swing, .45, or sparky the friendly chair to name a few off the top of my head - all with guaranteed ZERO chance of recidivism.
The only thing I would propose to a teen boy is to prepare for a kick in the butt if he rolls those eyes at me again.
Why is a 15-year-old boy on gay dating app Grindr?
OMG! Bleah!
