...bank." he likes to say, "said there could be no better manager than me." Last week Beck's time ran out. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review his conviction for tax fraud, and his attorneys conceded that jail was only a few days away. At 68, Beck faces two concurrent five-year federal prison terms and a 15-year sentence in the Washington State Prison. But things could be a lot worse...
...last sweeping promises of reform were made, the screaming loudspeakers were switched off, the chanting supporters had left the plazas.

"The sad part of it," says a Pecos bank president, "is that he could have been an honest millionaire instead of a broke crook." Billie...
...school board post. To get revenge, Estes set up a rival paper. Upshot: the Independent investigated and printed the first exposure of Billie Sol's tank-mortgage fraud. The alarmed finance companies sent in swarms of investigators, and Billie Sol's empire came crashing down with a thud that reverberated all the way to Washington. On March 29, the FBI arrested Estes on charges of transporting the bogus mortgages across state lines. Estes is now out on bail, but is under both a federal indictment for fraud and a state indictment for theft...
