pretty sure this was the guy that ran MGM universal timeshares, although the company name isnt mentioned in the article.

further proof you should:

1. never pay upfront fees
2. always report any scams to the AG's office in your state and the state they claim to reside in!

does appear that with the 1.2m fine, money will be returned to victims who reported the crime!
