“Brown became president of Tarsand in 1985, when the company changed its name to Goldcor. Brown, a born-again Christian who lives in Daytona Beach, was a founder and trustee of the International Christian Life Ministries, an evangelical organization. Some individuals, including Margaret French of Orlando, said they were informed by Christian stockbrokers that Goldcor was operated by Christians, and the religious connection was a motivating factor to invest.”
“Richard Brown, 52, was found dead early in the morning in his Pelican Bay home. Found on a Saturday morning by his father, Brown, the former president of Goldcor and accused stock swindling mastermind,
Brown was due in federal court on the upcoming Tuesday to face charges he knowingly scammed investors out of millions. He claimed to have developed technology that could extract gold from the black sands of Costa Rica…” http://www.news-journalonline.com/special/coldcase/2008/092208.htm
What would Bill Bonner do if he read this article by Lila Rajiva !? Spank her ? Or has he ? While I have heard of various scams run by Agora Inc.’s Oxford Club and even David Marchant wrote something about it, I never knew it rose like a Phoenix(or AIDS virus),out of the corpse of a corporate fraud claiming to turn Costa Rican beach sand to gold ! That’s a Lew Rock-Wellian,Ludwig Von Misesian and libertarian fantasy if ever I heard one.
I’d sure like to hear Bill Bonner’s review of his co-author
Lila Rajiva’s story re Goldcor and Oxford Club.(I add a brief quote and link below.)In fact maybe Lila might tell us if she still sticks behind the story…..
Wasn’t the Goldcor scam incorporated in California or was that another Goldcor I ran across ?
This is actually Lila Rajiva’s best story.I didn’t know she was capable of it.Still it doesn’t make up for her willingness to lie for Bill Bonner,James Dale Davidson and their Lord William Rees-Mogg and,(to use her term), to ‘stalk’ both you and me on the internet for them.Hee.Hee.
Actually Billie boy Bonner still
includes her name as co-author in every scammy disinformation piece he spams the internet with.Just go to the google news and search for her name and the Christian Science Monster,I mean Monitor,and Bill Bonner have her name reflected to infinity.
Just as the Chistian Science Monster prints every lie that ex CIA Chief James Woolsey and his Pakistani American side kick(and partner in stock fraud and money laundering) and Fox Middle East
‘expert’ ,Mansoor Ijaz,(whose
‘advise’ cost Daniel Pearl his head),thinks up – the Christian Science Monster also spams for Lila and Bill and Agora Inc….I wonder why ?

Turning Beach Sand Into Gold – The Goldcor Swindle
April 10, 2009
Posted in: Finance
Perhaps the most famous scam of all was Goldcor, which also had links to other crimes – drug-running and penny-stock hustling…in Florida, of all places. Florida was also the center of mortgage-hustling and land speculation, not just recently but historically.
And the Florida crime circuit, like Madoff’s, had its New York outlet…..
In April 1991, the government froze $6.6 million of Nadel’s assets; in August, Goldcor President Richard Brown was found in his home with a bullet behind his left ear; in November, a federal judge ordered Goldcor representative Carl Martin to refund $10.8 million to investors. An estimated 3,000 investors lost at least $50 million in the scam.”
The most interesting part of this little history is that the Royal Society of Liechtenstein was sold off, changing its name to the Oxford Club, which has been since then a part of Agora Inc.
The Brown death was never seriously investigated, say some SEC officials, who believe it was a murder.
What’s even more interesting is that Nadel’s Chief Operating Office, Mark Ford, who was also banned from selling stocks directly as a result of the settlement with the SEC, changed his name to Michael Masterson, and followed the Royal Society of Liechtenstein to Agora Inc., as part of Oxford Club and as a consultant.).
