He was granted an extension as he hired a new lawyer. We hear he is scheduled to next appear in court August 2008. His original May and June dates were delayed.

response to Joanne: This would be almost funny if this man did not use family and friends who trusted him with some with their life savings. Many on just his word.
Sure they wanted to make money but no one thought for a minute he was doing this knowing he would not pay him back at the very least their initial investment. and your right for this to work some people who had been paid back had to exist. I think it started out on the up and up and turned into something he soon had no control over and thought he could win back!!!!!

You know, I just have to say. Certainly not sticking up for someone who scammed people BUT, the people who were scammed were expecting an unrealistic (very high) return on their money. Do not tell me they thought all of this was on the up and up. The “victims” themselves are as much too blame. If I was told I would get 25% on my money in two months (or whatever short term), I would have to know it could not be legal. That or they are complete idiots. Franky, to have achieved that kind of wealth (the “victims”), they must be brighter than your average bear, Give me a break.
