Adler hired two former members of Congress to help him collect the millions he had deposited and one of them told Adler the deal was a scam.
ONE of them? I'd love to know the name of the other one. And how much he got paid.

The judge also found that Adler paid $2.1 million in bribes to Nigerian officials in violation of state and federal laws.
He paid over $2 million to total strangers to help them CHEAT, and never thought they'd cheat him too? I can't believe the first court papers ever got filed on this. If his lawyer didn't know the outcome in advance, he/she was greedy and stupid too.

Wotta maroon.

And this guy was supposed to be a businessman? How the hell does he stay in business if he's this dumb?

#2 He's a Republik of Laficornia businessman, is my guess. And a Sammy Dagan to boot, heh. Prolly lives on the island or in Pacific Beach.

#4 "Adler appealed but the ruling was upheld by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which noted there was no "Chief Abba Ganna Hen George" nor any oil fields in Kaduna."

It's reassuring to know that, whatever its faults, the 9th USCCA it least has brains enough in its pointy little head to recognize a Nigerian money scam when it sees one.

#5 Why does everyone flock to Nigerian investments of such dubious quality? This disturbs me. Because of this disturbtion I will describe to you my situation in Yellow Knife.

It all began when a visiting moslem engineer flew in with a twin auto and removed our strategic fishline recovery industry.....

#8 Hey Quinn---Yellowknife is a good place. Jumping off place and supply depot for much northern Canada mining. It is a fun town.

BTW, you want to invest in some diamond or uranium penny stocks or futures? Drop me a line.

#12 It's Bush's fault. No, a while back, a Guardian tool lost several hundred quid to a Nigerian scammer and actually wrote a column blaming it on Bush and the "Texan oil culture" that (according to her) has infiltrated Nigeria via the petro industry.
