Welcome to episode 52 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by actual

FBI cases. In this episode we speak with Myron Fuller. Myron served in the FBI for 30 years.

He is interviewed about his case agent an undercover role

in the case code named Ab scam, originally initiated to investigate and penetrate

white collar crime and organized crime targets in the New York area.

Specifically, it was begun as an undercover operation

to infiltrate the conspiracy of members of organized crime to purchase a mortgage company for fraudulent and

criminal purposes. The sophisticated AB scam scenario included a fictitious

wealthy Lebanese businessman and a $7 million bank account.

Myron Fuller and his undercover partner, Agent John House, represented that they had worked for a consortium of foreign banks and the

Arab businessman who wanted to funnel millions of Middle East money into ventures in the United States.

The scenario with the cooperation of Conman Mel Weinberg allowed for the successful conviction of organized crime figures,

con men, and ultimately corrupt politicians.

Myron Fuhler retired as the Special Agent in Charge of the Honolulu Division.

When it was suggested that I reach out to Myron to talk with him about Abscam, I was still under the impression that Abscan had always been a public corruption case.

So when I spoke with Myron, I was surprised to find out

that the original targets were the New York mob families.

So we'll get into that interview in just a bit. But before we do, I just want

you to know that Pay-to-play, my crime novel about a female FBI agent investigating corruption in the Philadelphia Strip Club

industry continues to do well.

I have 45 reviews and I want you to know that I've been told don't know if this is true
