A fascinating SF Weekly look at Rebecca and Terry Solomon's duping of Bay Area investors for $20 million. Hint #1 to investors: Real estate tax records can tell you a lot, if they're renting a $20k/month house, consider carefully that two million dollar check.
But I guess that's why the Nigerian 419 scammers are still at it after how many years of people in my circles giggling over the idiocy of people who fall for them.
USDOJ press release on the situation.
