In the second video/podcast of my 10-part government investigation series, I share insights from the period following my meeting with the FBI. After lying to the FBI, I was told by my lawyers that I had just obstructed a federal investigation. Yet, for several months after that, I didn't hear from anyone—no calls from my lawyers, no news from the government.
This lull gave me a false sense of security, leading me to believe that I could move on with my life without any consequences. I continued my real estate career, played golf, and believed my bad decisions were behind me. That illusion, however, was shattered when my lawyer eventually called with urgent news: my former client had been cooperating with the government all along, and the government planned to indict me on securities fraud charges.
This video captures the naivety and false confidence that can come when one assumes silence means safety. I aim to provide a lesson on the importance of facing reality, being truthful, and preparing for what's to come in a government investigation.
Profit from my losses.
