Morgan Case: Why Aren't the Feds Going After The Money?

I consider myself one of the primary victims of the Morgan fraud.  I believed it when they said our money was on deposit. And when I began to question it, I believed their attorney when he confirmed that our money, principle and earnings, was on deposit.

I have been ridiculed and prosecuted for believing them and, as a businessman, maybe I deserve it for being so lax in due diligence.

What is spellbounding, however, is that the government seems to have no interest in retrieving victims' money.  In addition to the $7 million that was paid to investors, the Morgan's kept $3.5 million, and others kept an additional $3.4 million.  The "others" have, in effect, been told by the government that since they were not the target of the investigation, they can keep the money.

This is wrong.  And I can't figure out why.  My guess is that since I was fully cooperative from Day One of the investigation, I became the convenient target.  And since all of the government paperwork consistently and carefully avoids mentioning "the others" even to the point of being misleading and awkward, they must have surmised that bringing five or six other people into the fray would increase their workload or even confuse the charges.

At any rate, there is $3.4 million laying out there and the government is fully aware of it.  The victims should push Judge Bucklew in Tampa to find out why.

Ironically, the one thing I did not believe that the Morgan's told us all was that the government had no interest in helping victims.  Unfortuanately, this appears to be true.
