...broadcast to viewers of ABC's World News Tonight last September, was bizarre by any measure. Scott Barnes, who has sometimes presented himself as a "paramilitary expert," claimed he had taken a job as a prison guard in 1983 at the request of the CIA to watch Ronald Rewald, a Honolulu investment counselor who is under indictment for defrauding approximately 400 investors of $22 million.

When state regulators became aware in July of the firm's false claim that it was FDIC-insured, Rewald's world began to unravel. The IRS and Securities and Exchange Commission started probing Rewald's affairs early this year. State officials issued investigative subpoenas in late July after Rewald's firm published Capital Flight from Hong Kong and How Hawaii Can Benefit, a report so transparently amateurish that it instantly raised eyebrows in Honolulu's financial circles.
