A bankrupted con-artist from Oregon was able to purchase a bank license and opened a offshore bank in Grenada by claiming to own a 4 pound ruby worth $20 million dollars and a appraisal document proving its worth. The ruby was owned by a man in California who didn’t know the scammer.
Conned in the Carribean Evidence Files
Van Brink (a.k.a. Gilbert Ziegler) purchased a bank license for First International Bank of Grenada (FIBG) in 1997 for $50,000. It was the beginning of one of the biggest offshore banking scams in recent history.
FIBGs shell offices were headquartered in the small town of St. George’s. Before its shut down by the Grenadian government in the summer of 2000, the fake bank took in $170 million from thousands of investors in the U.S.
FIBG told investors that their money was 100% guaranteed by the phony IDIC (International Deposit Insurance Corporation). The IDIC’s offices were run out of a ramshackle building on the Caribbean island of Nevis.
Van Brink told Grenadian authorities that FIBG would be backed by $26 billion in assets, including this four-pound ruby valued at $20 million dollars. In actuality, the ruby was owned by a California man who had never heard of Brink or his bank.
The Victims
Phyllis and Jim Miller invested more than $80,000 in FIBG. Later, they visited the bank’s headquarters in Grenada. The Millers received five interest checks before the bank’s Ponzi scam began to fall apart.
The Prosecutor
Prosecutor Claire M. Faye said Van Brink used FIBG ‘as his own piggybank’. Brink and his cohorts squandered investors’ money on items such as expensive homes, luxury vacations, high-end cars, and a 35-foot yacht named ‘Offshore Funs’.
IRS Investigation
IRS agents James Daniels and Jill Webb began an investigation and discovered FIBG was a scam. Van Brink told investors his bank made extraordinary profits, which he passed onto investors. But, Brink simply used investor money to pay out interest payments and pocketed the rest.
Van Brink was charged with money laundering and bank fraud in May 2004. He died in December 2005 from a heart attack while awaiting trial.
Millie Bobby Brown Nude Snapchat Masturbation Video
Netflix’s “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobby Brown appears to dildo her sex hole in the nude Snapchat video above.
We have certainly seen stranger things than Millie taking a rubber dong in her dick cave like this… Especially considering the fact that ever since Millie turned 18-years-old she has released a torrent of terribly depraved content to terrorize and torment us pious Bored Apes.
Yes, the only thing surprising about Millie naked and banging her baby box on Snapchat is that she is not using a black dildo… For one would have suspected that a woke whore like her would be more open-minded about the skin tones of her sex toys.
