An investigation by the Arizona Corporation Commission's Securities Division helped lead to the injunction. Cook was indicted recently by an Ariona grand jury and faces charges of racketeering, fraud and theft for taking millions of dollars from people across the country for an investment program. "This kind of teamwork between state agencies demonstrates clearly that the public interest is being served. Con Artists will not get away with living in high style on money they've stolen from investors," Arizona Corporation Commissioner Jim Irvin said in a statement. submitted by: Linda Stewart --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
