Not in my kitchen you don't: PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- Eleven people have been indicted for allegedly running a scam that bilked $95 million from investors who were promised their money would triple in a year. The indictment, announced Friday by U.S. Attorney P. Michael Patterson, charged the defendants with running a pyramid scheme. The money was laundered through corporations and banks for the benefit of the defendants, the indictment said. The defendants live in Florida, Arizona, Tennessee, New York, England and Canada. Eight of those indicted had been arrested as of Friday, said Patterson's spokeswoman Gayle Kinsley. All 11 were charged with at least one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and securities fraud and a second count of conspiracy to launder money. Investors were told their money would buy U.S. Treasury obligations that would in turn be leveraged in a secret trading program with a return of 360 percent a year or more. If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum prison sentence of five years under the first count, 10 years for the second count and up to 10 years for each money laundering count. Arraignment is set for July 20. AP-NY-07-07-00

Off Topic To whom it may concern.<g> I have been considering what the appropriate steps a person should take if they find out that someone has issued an unsolicited public "professional medical opinion" about them on an Internet chat site. I would recommend the following: To check to see if this individual has a medical license, first go to the URL below. Click on the state in which that individual lives and then run a search on their name. Second, I would recommend filing a complaint with the appropriate State Board of Medical Examiners. The board will be able to help you to determine if a non-physician holds some special exemption to Medical Practice Act which allows them to provide lawful medical opinions and/or if the posting of the unsolicited public "professional medical opinion" by the individual represents grossly unprofessional conduct as determined by the board. docboard.org
