Someone told me he was an LSU DKE. Have not verified, but it would check out. LINK

A Shreveport man accused of scamming more than $96 million from investors and financial institutions has posted an unsecured appearance bond in the amount of $500,000 to remain free pending resolution of his case, according to documents made public Tuesday morning.

deBerardinis is accused in a federal grand jury indictment of falsely representing himself from 2008 to 2016 to obtain more than $96 million from investors in Shreveport, across Louisiana and elsewhere. He allegedly operated numerous business entities and represented himself as part of the petroleum industry.
The grand jury indicted deBerardinis on Jan. 25.
Some allegations in the indictment include that deBerardinis:
Hired a professional make-up artist to disguise him as an Orthodox Jew in an attempt to obtain investor funds from a New York-based private equity group.
Created a fake check in the amount of $80 million from First Tennessee Bank made payable to one of his companies and falsely claimed to investors it had come from a previous investment.
Falsely claimed to have obtained an international shippers’ license.

I was at a duck camp with that guy a couple years ago and he seemed dumber than a 1lb of rice when we were playing cards. Some of the guys were pissed about how much he was tipping the guides. It was like a $40/person reg. He was throwing like $200/guide. Guess it’s easy when it’s not your money.

A bank lost $29MM with this guy and the Gamble family in Shreveport lost $7.25MM. Whoa.

IIRC the guy was a local and pretty well connected, so people trusted him more than they would somebody who showed up on the midnight train. Still, it's surprising when financial pros get slickered, but it happens more often than you'd think.

i never knew there were duck hunt guides

Yeah apparently he was in with a few CPAs as well. Sounds like they were part of the scam.

The web portal does work. If you had access prior to November 30, 2017, you should still have access to login and upload or retrieve files.

That's enough $ where he could have left the country and never returned

It's unlikely he has any of it. The money has to go out as fast as it comes in to keep the scam going.
