This is an account of bank securities fraud gone wrong; a true comedy of errors. Alan Levy was a gambler deep in debt to more than one bookmaker when he decided it would be safer if he moved to California.
He owned several successful business that he ran into the ground from his gambling debts; one of which was the first Boutique in L.A. to sell French fashions.
Then in February 1971 Levy came upon the "Opportunity of a lifetime"; $800,000,000 in negotiable securities was dumped in his lap. show more Levy learned to turn a blank stock certificate in to a "valid" one, and proceeded to trust all the wrong people trying to unload them......
Levy's greed got the better of him and the egotistical little con-man got conned! All I can say is Levy was nothing more than a small time greedy little schmuck who got off easy..... show less
