A former Tennessee legislator and his two sons have been charged in a federal indictment with defrauding customers of their gold and silver business of more than $18 million.

Prosecutors say Larry Bates, who served in the Tennessee Legislature from 1971 to 1976, and his sons, Charles and Robert Bates, are accused of encouraging customers to buy gold and silver from First American Monetary Consultants but failed to deliver. Prosecutors say the men told potential customers to buy gold and silver to protect against "Mystery Babylon," an alleged forthcoming economic, political and religious downturn.

DemonRATs are criminals in all respects. All of the political assassinations and mass shootings were and are done by leftists. Financial malfeasance and fraud are familiar territory of the ‘RAT party.

Something about a fool and his money... but can’t quite remember the rest. What was it now. Hmm, let me see.

Too late, Obama has already happened.
