T he com m ittee, a n o n -p ro fit
group o f volunteers w ho have orga­

(NU) - Everyone he dealt with
knew him by a different name. A
different address. A different pro­
fession.
The one thing that linked all who
dealt with him, however, was that he
owed them a tremendous amount of
money. Collectively, millions.
Slick operators like him are well-
known to business people and inves­
tors. Such con men start fake com­
panies, take out loans, purchase ma­
terials and services on credit, and
then disappear — without paying
back a cent.
It is perhaps a sad commentary
on the times that a Washington, D.C.-
based investment counseling orga­
nization was flooded with responses
when it announced a session on how

“It’s for people who are tired of
the dog-and-pony shows, the pixie-
dusters, the here-today, gone-tomor­
row gurus,” McCarthy said. “We
won’t offer a single book, tape or
seminar for sale, and certainly no
franchises, boot camps and other so-
called opportunities.”
While real estate is the group’s
primary focus, the conference in­
cludes sessions on business planning,
corporations, limited liability com­
panies, trusts, taxation, estate plan­
ning, asset protection and an open
session panel discussion.
In sum, McCarthy said, the con­
ference covers the creation and pres­
ervation of wealth. “Frivolous law­
suits, draconian and voracious tax
policies, and overregulation of busi­
ness affairs by government are the
wolves that are devouring the fruits
of our labors.”
Underscoring its intent to counter
the traveling "get-rich-quick” road
shows, the NARE1 conference will
be offered only in the Washington.
