Kids - didn't know where to put this, but WaPo seems to be sharing an interesting report about Mormons and a Ponzi scheme. I don't have access to the website, and simply receive alerts from them - trying to entice me further. Here's what popped up in my email, and it's got EVERYTHING including Jeff German.
An alleged $500 million Ponzi scheme preyed on Mormons. It ended with FBI gunfire at a Las Vegas mansion.
A lawyer with huge gambling debts is accused of a financial fraud that left hundreds of victims in its wake. The Post teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal to examine what happened, a partnership to continue the work of slain Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German. Before his death in September, German planned to tell this story himself.
Also, WOW. This was a heavenly bunch of stuff. So many possible cool things coming! I don't know how I will ever have time to read/watch/listen to any fiction! And, you know I go weak in the knees when you guys reference Texas Monthly. Hard to remember that John Bloom (aka Joe Bob Briggs) was a serious journalist at one point.
