At some point Ron will have to come clean on his investment and his involvement.
I really, really hope you are right. Really, I do. That being said, I have zero confidence that Lowenthal will ever answer for anything.
There is a reason that Lumb picked his old bud, who is sitting in South Africa and thousands of miles away from the reach of the SEC, to front his scams. In all likelihood, Lowenthal will suffer no ill effects, and when he dies, a small part of what was once your money will be passed on to his kids.
As far as Freddie: well, he does hang out with a dicey crowd. And he was willing to trade leases on near-worthless mining claims for stock in the "sisters." However, Lumb and Lowenthal have a proven pattern of being scammers long before Freddie got on their radar.
