EXPLOSIVE OPENING DETAILS, BACKGROUND AND SHOCKING REVELATIONS JUST AHEAD IN A SPECIAL SECTION - CHECK BACK HERE SHORTLY For now we will leave you with the infamous quotes from just a few scammed by John Daly: From Wall Street Journal Article on Daly: * "Unfortunately, he cheated me out of $500,000," Mr. Lensi says * "If John Daly was found murdered," fumes Tom Fox, who produced "Return of the Living Dead" for Hemdale , "there would be 7,000 suspects." * Charles Roven, has also found dealing with Mr. Daly unsettling. "It's very difficult to pick your way through John 's dialogue to find out what's real and what's not real," Mr. Rovwn says. "I don't think he knows what the meaning of making a deal is." * British justice once called him "fundamentally dishonest" -- and that wags in England used to refer to Hemdale as Hemlock * "I can't ever entertain in my life wanting to do business again with Mr. Daly or Hemdale . It was one of the worst experiences I've had in 35 years in the film business." * Court papers in "Platoon" producer Kopelson's suit include a private investigator's report asserting that "large amounts" of money are transferred periodically from certain Hemdale bank accounts to the Bank of Zurich in Switzerland * producer Fox, while describing Mr. Daly as "the most degrading person to do business with,"transconscam.com
