Enter a slick, smooth-talking, charismatic lawyer named Leo Koretz, who enticed hundreds of people (who should have known better) to invest as much as $30 million, upwards of $400 million today; in phantom timberland and nonexistent oil wells in Panama. 600 10 Koretz, Leo,|d1879-1925. 650 0 Swindlers and swindling|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Lawyers|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Capitalists and financiers|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Fugitives from justice|zNova Scotia|zHalifax|vBiography. 650 0 Ponzi schemes|zIllinois|zChicago|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Commercial crimes|zIllinois|zChicago|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|vBiography. 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|xSocial conditions|y20th century. 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|xEconomic conditions|y20th century. 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 700 1 Berkrot, Peter. 994 C0|bCKE
