Outlaw

The Resume

    Born in Canada
    Based in Dorval, Quebec
    Birth name is Bertram Earl Jones
    Earl Jones Consultant & Administration Corporation (Pointe Claire)
    Operated a Ponzi scheme that drained dozens of Montreal-area seniors of their life savings, approximately $75 million Canadian

Why he might be annoying:

    Unlike Bernard ‘Made Off,’ he worked in a jurisdiction whose governments don’t care much about small investors — particularly those who speak English.
    As opposed to the average 2-percent return from banks, he promised an 8-percent return (who got eight percent in 2008?).
    He is seven years older than what he told investors.
    He is a womanizer.
    His wife and daughters issued a statement of sympathy urging him to come forward — which did not impress his victims.
    His lawyer insisted he was still in Canada — and in a state of depression.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a primary member of North America’s oldest golf club.
    Many of his victims, for whose estates he was either executor or co-executor, knew him personally since their school years.
    He knew exactly whom, where, and when to hit.
    While still bad enough for his victims, his scheme was not of the same magnitude as Madoff’s.
    He didn’t drain them all completely dry.
    He did not leave for a location that had no extradition policy with Canada.
