This is the real reason the 1% hate Obama. Unlike BushCo, Obama and Holder, along with the FBI are busting these criminals right and left. Crime has paid for too long. We have to end the corruption in America.
Keep in mind, Lanny Breuer is the DOJ Assistant Attorney General that Issa wanted Eric Holder to have resign. Very telling, Mr. Issa, very telling.*
Three Former Executives Convicted for Roles in $200 Million Fraud Scheme Involving Fair Financial Company Investors
WASHINGTON—Three former executives of Fair Financial Company, an Ohio financial services business, were found guilty for their roles in a scheme to defraud approximately 5,000 investors of more than $200 million, Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; Joseph H. Hogsett, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana; and Special Agent in Charge Robert Holley of the FBI in Indiana announced today.
Following an eight-day trial, a federal jury in the Southern District of Indiana returned its verdict late yesterday. Timothy S. Durham, 49, the former chief executive officer of Fair, was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud, 10 counts of wire fraud, and one count of securities fraud. James F. Cochran, 56, the former chairman of the board of Fair, was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud, one count of securities fraud, and six counts of wire fraud. Rick D. Snow, 48, the former chief financial officer of Fair, was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud, one count of securities fraud, and three counts of wire fraud.
“Mr. Durham and his co-conspirators used lies and deceit as their business model,” said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. “They duped investors into thinking they were running a legitimate financial services company and misled regulators and others about the health of their failing firm. But all along, they were lining their pockets with other people’s money. The jury held them accountable for their crimes, and they each now face the prospect of significant prison time.”
“No matter who you are, no matter how much money you have, no matter how powerful your friends are, no one is above the law,” U.S. Attorney Hogsett said. “The office of the United States Attorney will not stand idly by to allow a culture of corruption to exist in this community, this state, or this country. The decision made in this courtroom sends a powerful warning that if you sacrifice the truth in the name of greed, if you steal from another’s American dream to try to make your own, you will be caught.”
It's not the first Financial Fraud conviction, either.
