For those who don’t know...

Who is Edward Mezvinsky?
According to Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mezvinsky
Well, he is an American former politician and a convicted fraudster. A Democrat, he represented Iowa’s 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms (1973-77).
After being elected to the Iowa Legislature (1968), he lost a race for Congress in 1970, then won in 1972. He made several unsuccessful U.S. Senate attempts in the 1980s.
In 2001, he was convicted of 31 charges of fraud, and served five years in federal prison.
Beginning in the early 1990s, Mezvinsky started a wide variety of 419 scams. According to a federal prosecutor, Mezvinsky was conned by “just about every different kind of African-based scam we’ve ever seen.”
The scams promise that the victim will receive large profits, but first a small down payment is required. To raise the funds needed to front the money for the fraudulent investment schemes he was being offered, Mezvinsky became himself a conman, tapping his network of former political contacts and dropping the name of the Clinton family to convince unwitting marks to give him money
