Sources close to the investigation of Tradex; a now defunct offshore investment scheme tell ERSNews.com that federal indictments could be forthcoming soon.
The Enterprise Report has also learned that the key suspect, the former leader of the Tradex operation is hiding out in Central America expecting the wrath of federal authorities at anytime.ERS News has also learned from sources close to the case that Arthur Ferdig, the prime suspect, has been recently entering the United States using a Dominica passport. Ferdig, who was born in Minnesota, has citizenship in the small island nation.
A copy of Ferdig’s Dominica passport has been obtained exclusively by ERS News and can be seen here:
Arthur Ferdig’s group had a speciality in ripping off Jews of whom they were not fond. L.A. businessman Joe Fryzer was the number one target.
In an Oct. 1, 2007 report on the feud between ERSNews and LAObserved, I wrote: "I don’t agree with Roger that Roderick wants to ignore ERSNews. Kevin doesn’t care for Eric and Roger, but if he’s alerted to important information on that site, he’s not going to cut off his nose to spite his face and ignore ERSNews."
Since then, LAObserved has not mentioned ERSNews.
