Summary

Retired agent David Kamel reviews his investigation of two investment fraud cases while under the added pressure of indicting the white-collar crime subjects before his impending mandatory retirement date. The first case discussed was a multi-million-dollar advance fee scam involving multiple international victims living in Germany, Australia, and Nigeria who were defrauded by a retired Army colonel residing in the Dallas area. The second case involves an elder man who invested his life savings with an individual who assured the victim the investment would bring huge returns. We also discussed the different investigative methods used and resolutions of both investment fraud cases.

David is the author of Reckonings of an FBI Agent, a memoir covering his long, diverse, and exciting career specializing in white-collar crimes and counter-terrorism matters. David served in the FBI as a special agent for 31 years.
