Durham, like the politicians, are sociopaths.

Aren't sure what a sociopath is?

Go to this link to start learning about the traits of the sociopath. The halls of government are crawling with them.

Downtown Indy:

Thanks for the link on the Bugatti. It should be mentioned, however, that Durham is a liar. He lied in the article about "deferring taxes." He got himself a Motor Vehicle license under the name Diamond Auto Sales and, in fact, has not paid a cent of tax on ANY of his millions of dollars in cars.

The dealership "address" is 117 N. East Street, a storage facility for Durham. There is a sign on the door to call Diamond Auto Sales, but of course no one ever answers.

Crows always come home to roost. Durham should have simply shut his mouth after his windfall on Brightpoint, which he got away with, and been happy being richer than the rest of us. But, there is something inside of him that must misfire in his brain, as he just got greedier and greedier, to the point of no-return.

I feel very sorry for his namesake and son. Joan and her Dad are going to need to come up with some serious tuition money for his USC education, because it's over $50g a year to go there. I wonder how many of the Mennonite and Amish folks Durham fleeced would have liked to have sent their children to USC.

By the way notice how Brizzi has still not revealed where he got the money for Harry and Izzi's and the second house he bought?

HFFT,

I'm not sure it's that easy. When you start talking about recovering money paid to innocent third parties who had no knowledge of the alleged scheme then it becomes difficult from a legal standpoint. I know it's hard to imagine politicians as innocent third parties, especially those who had reason about the alleged scheme. But there are other recepients of Durham's money out there who are completely innocent. You can't just go in and start taking that money away to pay the people who were defrauded.

It's like the situation where my client lost two homes when someone forged his name on a deed then sold the houses to someone else. The purchaser of my client's property is innocent as is my client. The law makes it difficult to reccover property from an innocent thrid party even though the origin was illegality.

$809,000.00 to Indiana politicians and campaigns and counting. Who will blink first?

Correct me if I am wrong here, but aren't all monies from ponzi schemes that can be found to be recovered and then given back to the investors?

So that would mean all those shady political contributions have to go back to the investors, right?

Didn't Fair Finance get a lot of investment from the Amish?

What about the campaign funds to all the political figures in Indiana from the Governor on down?

Will that be seized too?

I bet it is over a half a million total to the Prosecutor and State elected officials when it is added up coming from 19 different Durham companies!

Paul,
You know who has 12 corporations with their State Contract and what State they are in!

That does not pass the smell test either!

Well, we can all guess that both Carl and Timmy are reading this and Gary's blogs, and the IBJ and Indy Star...I'd like to personally thank Greg Andrews for not succumbing to Durham's bullying (Indpls Monthly quoted Durham bragging something to the effect of he would sue IBJ if they said anything bad about him...), Gary Welch and Paul Ogden for blogging about the lack of conscience among Indianapolis' self-proclaimed elite, and the Tim Morrison for finally growing a pair of balls and filing the motion to seize assets.

Maybe Carl Brizzi can return the favor now and give Tim a place to sleep while all this shakes out?
