Alan May arrested in San Francisco

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

In one of the many times, each day, when I google my own name, I ran across this article.

In it it indicates that Alan May is a suspected Ponzi scheme fugitive, and was arrested recently in San Francisco for bilking almost $7,000,000 from many entitites.

Among his aliases were Mark Magnum (I kinda like that one), Mark Hanson (meh!), Brian Peirce (I love the spelling, gives it a very british flavour), Justin Gore...(meh!).

Now, you would expect that I would vehemently renounce this fiend, and state that he and I are not one and the same (even though he spells his name exactly like mine)...

But I'm kinda enjoying, for the moment, having people believe that I'm a 45-year-old-multimillionaire.

That may, of course, change, when they throw me in a cell with my 295 pound cellmate, Bubba!

You're not fooling anyone.

You're actually his evil twin, and this is all in your master plan to conquer the world!!

Home is where the hearth is.

Ralph - I promise we're not related (at least not financially)

Mark Magnum would be a good name had you decided to get into the Adult Film Industry.  It's a good thing you came across this article before me, Mr. May, because I my blog would have been a bit different;)

It is comforting to know you and Bubba won't be exchanging mistletoe's.

Alan, your evil twin is almost as interesting as mine!  Yours probably made more money out of his bad behavior.

Please give Bubba my love.  I haven't seen him since his unfortunate incarceration.

Jason - I thought so too. (and seriously glad you didn't get ahold of this first)

Patricia - but he's not going to enjoy the fruits of his ill-gotten-gain

Susan - but that's just what I'm afraid of...

Suzanne - there's a DRUMMER??!

For a moment, I thought it might have been you, Alan. You wouldn't throw a lot of money around, though, by renting an expensive apartment--you would have BOUGHT an expensive condo!

Cheers,

Robin
