Five (5) people were charged in three federal indictments with wire fraud for offering fraudulent investments. The indictments are a result of an ongoing FBI investigation into scams that promote phony investment programs, promising unsuspecting investors large returns on their investments. The defendants are alleged to have sought substantial investments in “note-trading” programs, falsely claiming that the programs existed, the investments were risk-free, and that high yield returns were guaranteed.
Charged in the case are: David P.J. (Jim) Norman, age unknown, of Canada;
Trevor D. James, Sr., age 38, of Lawrenceville, Georgia;
Laure Huff, age unknown, of North Carolina;
Beryl Koenig, age 58, of Brighton, Colorado; and
Clifford Michael Emery, age unknown, of London, England.
The maximum penalty each defendant could receive is a fine of $250,000.00 and/or imprisonment of twenty (20) years. This case was investigated by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has been assigned to Assistant United States Attorney David C. Stephens of the Greenville Office for prosecution.
Gee, I guess my dropping all those dimes around FBI agents paid off after all.

Yes, it is indeed a good birthday present - happy birthday, my dear friend Texino! It's on the 30th, right?
Jimbo will have to be extradited, since he lives in Canada. There is not death penalty for wire fraud, so chances are they'll turn him over without much argument.

I took the liberty of revising your query to vastly decrease the number of responses.
Some blather from Jim, circa November 2005, as he discussed his "business" with another scammer:
Zubita you made the choice to start YOUR transaction without TRULY consulting with me, “Whatever business you are doing now cannot be compared to this.” …if you consult with my attorneys here, you will see that the schedule that you imposed on me and then making your statement here is in TOTAL IGNORANCE of my other business.
I Jim Norman am telling you this….17 mill 12 mill and 68 mill PLUS interest, totaling over 168 million, as stated by the TREASURY DEPARTMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN MY DEFENCE OF AN EX EMPLOYEE ATTEMPTING TO CLAIM BENIFICIARY STATUS, AFFECTIING OVER 300 PEOPLE THAT HAVE WORKED WITH ME FOR FOUR YEARS TO GET MY MONEY INTO THIS POWERFUL BANKING SYSTEM IN GENEVA, AND 220 MILLION FOR THEIR RETURN, AND HOLDING UP BROKERS FOR THE PAST YEAR FROM MAKING ME OVER 135% DAILY ON JUST 100 MILLION OF THIS MONEY, (THAT IS, I CAN MAKE OVER 100 MILL DAILEY understand?).WITH GENEVA ON STANDBY WAITING NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF MYACCOUNTATN AND WILL MY ATTORNY TO GO TO GENEVA TO RECEIVE AN AWARD FOR MY COMPANY IN THE FORM OF A PLAQUE, BUT ALSO THAT I AM TO BE GIVEN A “BANKING LISCENCE” SO THAT I WILL BECOME “BANQUE DU ESPAVO” THAT THEN FEEDS “THE ESPAVO FOUNDATION”, THAT THEN FEED “THRUM RECORDS”.
You going ahead without honoring MY schedule IN YOUR FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE TO RAISE MONEY FOR MY DEFENCE WITH GUILLERMO AND THE CAJA MADRID 500K SCANDAL, MY DEFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THEN YOU ADDING ALL THE EXPENSESS FOR SALUSUS FUNDS, IS UNREALISITC TO SAY THE LEASTM,YET I HAVE SENT MONEY TO COVER ALL THREE AREAS. BUT YOU CANNOT AT THIS JUNCTURE TELL ME THAT YOURS IS MORE IMPORTANT.
SALUSE WAS EWAITING FOR ME TO FINISH GENEVA FIRST, AND TRIED TO HELP WITH THOSE EXPENSES BY SELLING THE DIAOMNS AND SENDING 500k TO ASSIST, THEN YOU WENT AND STARTED ANOTHER BUSINESS WITH HER 58 MILLION ON YOUR OWN TIME SHCEDULE AND HAVE HAD ME PAY HUGE FEEDS AS YOU ATTMEPT TO CLEAR THIS MONEY….AND YOU SAY WHAT MY OTHER BUSINESS IS CANNOT COMPARE?????
Well you are right, it CANNOT compare to the ATTEMPTED theft of 168 millions, nor my dealings with the US government, nor to the 1.9 million debt in defense with deadlines that I get as close to ONE HOUR FROM LOOSING EVERYTHING because I’ve sent the money to you and then you get blocked AGAIN.
IF my team here can raise 150k for Guillermo and my defense this week, he has been instructed to take 20k USD to apply to your business. BUT BE AWARE THAT HIS BUSINESS IS ALSO MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR TRANSACTION BECAUSE MY FREEDOM IS MORE IMPRTANT THAN YOUR MONEY. ALSO, BY THE TIME I HAVE GENEVA CLEAR I CANNOT HAVE ALL THE INJUNCTIONS STILL HANGING OVER MY HEAD BECAUSE IF THEY ARE THEN MY BROKERS CANNOT PUT ME IN THE PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW ME TO EXPAND MY 168 SUCH THAT I CAN GET TO PAY 220 MILL + TO MY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PATIENT FOR THE LST YEAR. YOU BUSINESS DOES NOT COMPARE TO MY DEFENC IN THE CANADIAN LEGAL SYSTEM, IT WAS TO HAVE HELPED WITH MY WORKING CAPITOL AND INSTEAD IT HAS CUASED ME TO DIVERT FUNS FOR FEES AND MORE FEES WHEN I COULD HAVE PAID WHAT IS WAY MORE IMPRTANT NOTONLY IN AMOUNT IN THE SUM OF 168 MILLION. BUT EVEN MORE SO MY FREEDOM FROM CAJA MADRID FIASCO.
The 58mill pales in comparison. If I get 150k to Guillermo this week, then he gives you 20k USD ( 5k paid already), THEN HE CAN GET CAJA MADRID TO PAY THE CREDIT UNION 400k AND WE PLACE THE 1 MILL BALANCE SUCH THAT IT CAN BE USED TO FINISH YOUR BUSINESS.
I wonder how "the Team" are doing? I'm thinking that "Jesus wanted us to learn a lesson" is not going to be a defense that is received well by the judge or jury?
Perhaps they are scurrying to cut deals before they are tried along with their hero?
I heard that Kassie is working with the FBI, but I don't know if that's true or not. Sure, they all should be cooperating, to mitigate their own involvement.
I don't think a judge or jury will react well at all to the religious aspect of this scam. In fact, that's one of the things which I found most disgusting about it, right behind ripping off little old ladies.
Last I heard, the credit union got a judgment against him and sold his car at auction. Jim was claiming to have a judgment against them as well, but that was just another lie.
Oh yeah, Jim's lawyers quit because they weren't getting paid, so Jim was left to defend the case himself. The lawyers still believe he has all that money, though, which tells me they're approximately as bright as the lawyer in Florida who gave Jim hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I'll try to remember to check up on the credit union case again.
