Maybe, just maybe one day all this will be over!
For Sonny, it'll never be over, for just like his Daddy-O he'll jump from one scheme to another to another to another, ad infinitum, caring nada for the those lives he'll destroy whether strangers or friends.
http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2000/jul/01/timeline-the-suns-first-50-years/1974 -- A Sun series rips the silver certificate scheme of James Ray Houston's Western Pacific Gold and Silver Exchange. It costs investors $3 million. Houston this year runs for governor on the Independent American Party ticket. He finishes a distant third to incumbent Mike O'Callaghan, who received 68 percent of the vote. Houston is convicted in 1983 of mail fraud (unconnected with the Western Pacific case). In 1987 he moves to Atlanta, where he enters the telemarketing business.
1980 -- James Ray Houston opens his Great Western Penny Exchange in Las Vegas, another stock scheme. Federal Judge Roger Foley, who must accept the jury's finding that Houston is innocent, calls Houston "a plain and simple crook" during a hearing in which the Securities and Exchange Commission requests that Houston be held in contempt of court.
In 1991, Houston is in Costa Rica with long lost son Sonny Boy putting together their lottery scheme. 1995, Sonny starts Webspawner, of which to this day directs traffic to lottery and sportsbook schemes landing pages. How the fuck this doesn't affect his probation is beyond me. Then again, maybe this probation officer is well aware of this fact and just waiting to spring the trap prior to Sonny Vleisides' probation to end on September 15, 2013. It's a shame that Jody Drake, equal in status to Josh Zerlan, will probably be charged with something as well. Perhaps they'll be lenient on a 63 year old woman.
