Thomas Cloud is the son of the late John Thomas ("JT") Cloud - a long time SEC recividist that partnered with Kathleen Delaney, Robert Federowicz, Jack & Darrel Uselton, Wilson, and others. After JT died, Thomas continued on with the scams, setting up the Panama accounts (as well as ones in Poland, Marshall Islands, and other offshore locations). Thomas Cloud has another entity called Vista Ventures that is often used in these schemes.
