Hi Tom - cannot believe the amount of life support that has gone on here. My guess is that they are trying o position the shell has having value in addition to what a shell is worth. Given all the encumbrances, however, that's a tough sell.
I heard of the main "perps" - Robin D. Moody (formerly Zuthan) and James C. DiPrima - many years ago. A fella by the name of Mark Renfro may have been involved as well in setting up Harry Schoell for a quick flip.
That one worked back in July 2007 and they have long since moved on. They are older now. DiPrima (S. E90th Street, Omaha NE), is at least 69 years old and Robin Moody (SouthEast Ohio, possibly near Dayton, formerly from Dublin, OH) has to be at least 73. They can't keep runnin' forever. Father time will see to that!
