Mezvinsky

"Starting in the late 1980s, according to Zauzmer, Mezvinsky got
involved in a series of shady dealings. He began scamming a long list of
victims, many of them friends, promising big returns from West African
oil or investment schemes. Starting in late 1996, Mezvinsky solicited
$365,000 from a Maryland urologist. A year later he got $1 million from
a certified financial planner in Florida. Between January 1998 and
January 1999, he received $1.2 million from an Italian businessman. In
1999 he got yet another $1 million from a retired Pennsylvania business
executive and $500,000 from a Virginia investor. Each got a different
story, but the general pitch was that if they would give Mezvinsky their
money--which he promised to hold in trust at a U.S. bank, risk-free--he
would guarantee a hefty and quick profit.

But even as Mezvinsky was scamming people, he was letting himself get
scammed by West Africans--apparently hoping that the big score would
help him pay off the large debts he was accumulating."

- Sounds like a regular John Dillinger there.

Sounds more like he would fit-in at the Obama
Regimes US Treasury or Federal Reserve.
