Colorado Double Ponzi

Post by notorial dissent »

Gregory Russell, who had already been charged in a $9.7M real estate ponzi scheme in Colorado, decided to try for a Hutzpah award, with clusters, by running a second scheme while awaiting trial selling short term interests in a silver mining scheme called "Vital Elements". For added points, one of his first victims in his latest effort was a relative he talked in to "investing" $73,000. He is now in jail, not being able to meet the $1M bond set by the judge, waiting trial on the original charges, and will also be charged in the second matter as well. Denver Post article
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.
