I'm not defending anyone... but everyone has a degree of blame in this and it's a lot easier to blame someone else than your own stupidity. Frankly - a lot of you really are 'stoopid americans (- joke for those of you who have had your senses of humour removed).
I still don't get this part. So he essentially created a fraudulent company that never existed, bilked people into using it based on those fraudulent claims, and then ran and hid like a coward when his incompetence caught up to him. But hey, it's not his fault.

I don't care how nice the guy is, how many burgers he cooked for you, or what wonderful family members he surrounds himself with. Your story corroborates the fact that what he did in my opinion was fraud. Perhaps people should have questioned him more, but instead of looking in the mirror, I think a lot of people should be contacting the district attorney down in Florida if they lost anything of signifigance. Especially considering he's "working in the financial industry". Might be a good idea for those who he deals with now know his history of deception and fraud.
