Well, this is interesting. A guy named Gene Lang DID start the "Make a Wish" foundation. Likely the same guy. Came thru Dallas in the early 80's----my recollection was you could adopt a class in the 4th or 5th grade for $30,000, and finance college for those who made it. I went to the meeting of businessmen; we were booming at the time. I cannot remember tonite what the exact jurisdictional and long-arm reach is for the SEC in re expatriates. I will have someone get the answer tomorrow, and post. I did business with one of those guys; he could only stay here 120 days, I think, per year. He came in (and went out) thru Canada, and ignored the rule. They check days by visa and passport control. Nothing like that on the Canadian border. If they checked his passport, he would go to NYC for a couple of days, then back to Montreal; then back thru again with no check that time. Anyway, I bet Lang doesn't give a flying banana what the SEC (or probably anyone else !!!) thinks. Guys who think that way, think that way. They're fun to mess around with, but not so good to do business with. You cannot find them when you need them, and they can be prone to artificial mystery. Anyone know how and when Lang got his position in TFS ???
