THIS IS A CASE STUDY AND EXPOSE OF A LOOSELY CONNECTED SERIES OF LAND AND SECURITIES FRAUD SCHEMES.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR CLARIFIES THE INGENIOUS MAZE OF FAKE CONGLOMERATES, WORTHLESS TENNESSEE LAND DEEDS, ASSETLESS BANKS, PHONY MUTUAL FUNDS AND CORPORATE SHELLS WITH IMPRESSIVE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AT THE HEART OF THE CON. HE REVEALS WHAT FLORIDA CITY IS NOW THE CHEATERS' CAPITAL, SHOWS HOW MEN AND INSTITUTIONS OF CONSIDERABLE STATURE CAN BE BILKED, AND MAKES CLEAR WHY IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO PUT THESE FOUNTAIN PEN CONSPIRATORS IN JAIL AND KEEP THEM THERE.
