They’re not gonna catch us. We’re on a mission from God. - Elwood Blues

(Sullivan, IN) – Former pastor Vaughn Reeves and his sons, Chip, Chris and Josh, face 10 separate felony counts each involving violations of the Indiana Securities Act. The charges allege the four engaged in a multi-million dollar, faith-based affinity fraud through the use of a modified Ponzi scheme.

“This case goes far beyond simple theft,” said Secretary Rokita. “The Reeves allegedly targeted their victims through their faith, and then exploited their religious convictions in order to hide their elaborate Ponzi scheme from potential investors.”

According to court documents, the Reeves allegedly committed affinity fraud by duping investors into buying bonds that raised at least $120 million. The stated purpose for the vast majority of the bonds was to supposedly finance church construction and expansion. However, the Reeves allegedly shuffled this money among various accounts and stole approximately $6 million for themselves in the process.

Secretary Rokita and Prosecutor Hunley will hold a press conference to discuss these charges today at 2:30 p.m. (EDT) in the Circuit Court Room on the 3rd Floor of the Sullivan County Courthouse located at 100 Courthouse Square in Sullivan, Indiana.

US motorists ticketed for parking in their own driveways
16/06/2009 - 15:35:01

US residents are angry today at receiving US$25 (€18) parking tickets for parking their vehicles in their own driveways.

Mayor Carty Finkbeiner said he stood by the tickets handed out last week by the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbour in Toledo, Ohio.

He said the tickets were issued under a city law against parking on unpaved surfaces, including gravel driveways.

During a news conference, Finkbeiner ignored a reporter’s question of whether the crackdown and fines were related to the city’s budget crisis.

The three-term mayor faces a recall vote in November. Critics have claimed he has wasted city money.

One city councillor, D. Michael Collins, called the ticketing “Mickey Mouse nonsense” and said he would try to have them cancelled.

Thank you to all that are currently serving, and thank you to those who have served.

I just tossed a BIG real apple pie in the oven made by a recipe that according to the Marylands way cook book dates back to 1775. You’re all invited, you to Dino, han, Buzz, etc., but bring your own vanilla icecream and don’t forget to thank those who have and those who are serving on the way.
Party responsibly here tomorrow.

I know Realitybasesbob will squeal with joy over this, but it is the sad truth. And as a conservative I offer my congratulations to RBB and those who hold similar political philosophies, surely something to be proud of and obviously we conservatives have been wrong headed for years.

Members of congress currently under investigation.

The really sad part is the 12 to 4 ratio.

Looks like our boy is making friends in the U.K.

Hey look, I know you haven’t achieved much in your political career to date - no, sorry, I’ll rephrase. Other than getting elected you have achieved SOD ALL in your life to date - do yourself, your nation and the rest of the world a favour - by getting your act together!!
