Damn. Interesting story, but I don't have time to read all 6 pages, only had time for the first.

His story looks like soemthing to make a movie out of. Oh, how coincidential, it happened in Hollywood's back yard. Stay tuned for the movie of the week...

It gets more involved and better in the later pages.

It does read like a movie, but I haven't found a part for Harrison Ford

He was an international crook.

It's really worth the read. Many plot twists.

Great story.. I knew about his involvement with the Gizmondo and its amazing bust, but not about any of the other stuff.. insane!

Incredible how much credibility a nice suit and a nice car can give you.

It reminds me of the movie "Boiler Room", nevertheless... unbelievable
