The Govt Printing Office (GPO) produces a vast amount of material each year. Before the interwebz, I used to sift through their catalogs and get all sorts of things to read including a pile of cool NASA and Air Force posters.
This free publication looks like it might be of interest to some : It works from my Canadian VPN. Not sure how it will go for people porting in from overseas.
Fortunately, more than ever before, con artists are being apprehended and prosecuted. Federal, state and local law enforcement officials have reported enormous increases in tips and criminal activity since the economic calamity began in 2008. Cash redemptions are dangerous for Ponzi schemes, because when the money runs out, folks start talking. For example, at any one time, enforcement staff at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are investigating anywhere between 750 and 1,000 individuals or entities for various violations of the law. Increases in tips and fraud cases have also occurred at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in the states, and various localities around the world.
The compelling stories in this book are actual CFTC cases stemming from investigations that began with the economic downturn. These are real cases, real fraudsters, with unfortunately . . . very real victims. While, the fundamental nature of the writing in such files is, as you would imagine, very bureaucratic: this script is anything but bureaucratic. Filled with details, the cases even show photos of ill-gotten gains of the criminals.
There are some critical errors in that free publication.
And for $19.95, I will tell you what they are!
