Robert had produced only $3,020 and a short list of names, all of whom turned out to be bogus except one-- Jimmy Chang in the Virgin Islands. I called Jimmy at 7:20 a.m. his time. I said I was from the United States Post Office and had a large package for him. After a groggy Jimmy correctly identified his full name, address, and social security number, I told him I was the agent for HAWK and made demand for payment.

Jimmy quickly reasoned that Robert had betrayed him yet again and announced that his former business associate was as good as dead. I immediately forwarded HAWK's claim to a lawyer on the island, who successfully sued Jimmy and got a lien on his property for the full $500,000 amount of the claim. Eventually an out-of-court settlement was reached whereby Jimmy paid $100,000 and ratted on the other four investors.

These people were scum from top to bottom. Next case.
