  2. Note: All opinions are those of Pat Schwind only, & not those of anyone else at Impact Mortgage Network.

    At a Christmas party in late 1995, by total fluke, I met one of the greatest con-men in British history. He told me he wanted to buy an $800K home in Scottsdale. In ‘95, there really weren’t too many homes that expensive in AZ. To do so, he needed investors to put money into his ventures, which were based on paying struggling but talented writers almost nothing for interesting manuscripts, & then converting these into screenplays for movies & miniseries, to sell to giant production companies, at a nice fat profit for the investors. “Guiy de Montfort” needed me to introduce him to investors, in order to make this all work. Sounded quite interesting to me, in my boring life as a LO.

    I started to “check the guy out”, “just in case”. My good friend Dan Dominey, told me of an “East Valley Tribune” article from the prior summer, which mentioned something about a famous British con-man, who “fit the bill”. Then the fun really began! I “strung Guiy along” for another year, & eventually got him into a clandestine interview at a local resort, that became the highlight of a video from the BBC, part of a 5 part series, called “The Lying Game”, which aired in Britain in ‘97. We really did outfox one of the Greatest Con-men of Britain. We were the STARS!! It was a blast! If you ever want to see it, just call me.
