...over the opportunities he perceived were passing him by. Of medium build, with brown hair and a diffident, stumbling, yet loquacious manner, Frankel came across as a possessor of arcane knowledge that would empower him and his clients. "He is the most inconspicuous guy you can imagine," says Jeff Creamer, a Toledo lawyer who represented two of Frankel's earliest victims. "That, coupled with what appears to be an Einstein-like devotion to the financial world, makes [people] think they have found a financial genius...
