TL;DR (Spoilers): Amish families were duped into investing into a Florida RV park (which is still basically just vacant land), and lost $15-$20 million. The man responsible, Tim Moffitt, has not yet been held accountable for his crimes.
It sounds like there is a huge opportunity for real justice here - the "records" say that $15-$20 million was almost all spent on the project, but clearly it was not. That type of money does not disappear and must be somewhere - perhaps in other houses/property that Tim bought.

- ryanjshaw 12y agoWith part of the moral, for me at least, being that while isolation (physical and technological) may have its merits to those in the Amish community, it makes it easier for them to fall for something like this. (Although why people trust somebody with the gift of the gab handing out oranges and visiting RV parks for 5 years is beyond me; I run a mile when I encounter people like that.)
- gavanwoolery 12y agoThat's true, but I still believe the person should be held accountable for fraud, regardless of how easy his targets were to dupe.
