My favorite jailbird is at it again, this time he got caught. Recently he was re-indicted on additional charges that have occurred even from his jail cell. Here is a list of the most recent charges to be filed in United States vs. Barry Stokes.
* 29 counts of violating the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, involving over $15 million in embezzlements;* 21 counts of mail fraud for sending false quarterly statements to beneficiaries;
* 11 counts of wire fraud, for illicit money transfers that took place between 2002 and 2005;
* 11 counts of money laundering, for buying jewelry, artwork and real estate with embezzled funds;
* Four counts of criminal contempt, for cashing company checks after a bankruptcy court judge had ordered him not to do so; and
* Two counts of bankruptcy fraud — one regarding the original filing, and a second for fabricating a receipt in March of this year in an effort to prevent the seizure of a car.
I and many others lost significant sums of money (retirement, savings, etc) to Mr. Stokes. I really hope he gets what's coming to him.
Here is a link from the Nashville Post for more info.
