I’m surprised at that. He seems like exactly the kind of fraudster rampant in the Arkansas tribe and would be welcomed at family get togethers, LOL.
Mezvinsky grew up in Ames, Iowa and played high school football there. He received his law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1965. After being elected to the Iowa Legislature in 1968, he lost a race for Congress in 1970, then won in 1972. He made several unsuccessful Senate attempts in the 1980s.
In 2001, he was convicted of several dozen charges of fraud, and served five years in federal prison.[4]
