Florida Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson lost $18 million in a scheme by a Virginia man that involved over a 100 victims, the congressman’s office confirmed Monday.
[Snip]
The scheme worked like this: clients would turn over their stocks to Chapman as collateral for a loan, and Chapman would let customers borrow about 90 percent of the stocks' value.
If the stocks did badly, borrowers could walk away and keep the money they were loaned. But if the borrowers' stocks did well, they would repay the loan with interest, and Chapman was supposed to return the stocks to the investor at their increased value.
But, according to court papers, Chapman sold the stocks and had no way to fulfill his obligations if a client's stock portfolio did well.

Did G)D punish him for lying?
Karma..isn’t it awesome
It’s easy to scam a crook!!
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. LOL!
He looks like a weasel.
How did that moron get that much money to begin with?
Not at all surprising that he got it swindled from him. But I’m shocked to learn that he had it to lose.
ditto!
Die quickly, Grayson!
Who was it that said you can’t cheat an honest man?
As awesome as poetic justice.
*giggle* snort* snicker*
“MY PORK IS GONE!”
Where did he get 18 million ?
A financial scam depends upon the greed of the mark.
This moron needs to be audited to ensure he lost the full 18M. I can easily see this scum scamming the IRS for a few million to save a few million in taxes.
I wonder, since leftists hate rich people, and Grayson has 18 mil to just blow on ponzi schemes, will the progressive left demand that Grayson pay his “fair share” I bet if they do Grayson will demand that they “Die quickly”
Unpossible. He’s one of the 99% who are oppressed by the man.
