I should add the feds claim their "undercover investigation" recorded misrepresentations the persons selling certificates of investment for Fair were making to potential investors over the phone. I know at least one whistleblower made calls to them to learn how they were marketing those certificates and gave that information to the feds. I noted Morrison did not include the help of whistle blowers in bringing about today's indictment when he knows damn good and well that is the only reason the feds even took a look at the case--and that was after the National Lampoon fraud had already been known. It remains quite a mystery why Durham never faced charges in connection with that stock fraud scam as well when his handpicked stooge, Dan Laikin, brother of Brightpoint's Robert Laikin, was running that operation. Laikin was already nailed on that long before the Fair Finance matter was unraveled. There is also the question of the CLST fraud down in Texas as well, which was also unraveled by a whistleblower. No, these indictments leave many troubling unanswered questions. I'm convinced the feds are protecting some very powerful and influential people from doing serious time for serious financial crimes they committed.

Or the work of the bankruptcy trustee Brian Bash, Diana Vice. As you and I know, whistle blowers spoon fed this information to the feds--practically by force. They were like small babies turning their nose up at food they don't like. After the bankruptcy trustee's filings laid to bare how these guys pulled off their fraud, there would have been riots in the street had they not brought charges against them.

I have to wonder if any charges would have been filed at all had it not been for the enormous public pressure via the media and bloggers. We must keep up the pressure for Indiana politicians to pay back the stolen money they received in the form of campaign funds.

Morrison tried to make this case sound more complicated than it really is. Other larger, more complicated cases, such as Madoffs and Rothsteins, moved along at a much faster pace than this one. This one was intentionally slow walked to give these guys a chance to move money and assets that will never see the light of day in this investigation. The indictment was quite frankly a boring read compared to the trustee's civil lawsuit. Clearly, this office is using a fine scalpel to mitigate as much as possible the collateral damage from prosecuting this case. Lots of people who should be behind bars are going to skate and I will lay money these guys will got off with pretty light sentences in a plea deal. This office reserves its tough sentences for loser drug dealers and child pornographers, which is the only crimes they really like to prosecute in this office. They like going after people who can't afford a good lawyer and lack connections to people who matter.

Notice Timmy has put on a LOT of extra poundage? Eating a lot of comfort food to easy his worries, perhaps?

Did anyone notice the man boobs on TD? HA HA HA HA not sure which will be worse, prison or the fact that with those boobs there will be no question as to who the woman in the prison is.

Tim Durham, you so deserved this. I hope you are not given bail and you have to sit in a jail cell knowing you have ruined not only the lives of your victims but that of your father, who has disappeared from sight from the alleged shame of you.

any idea why on earth this took so long?
