Skokie, IL (PRWEB) December 7, 2003 -- A Colorado federal judge entered a judgment on September 5, 2002, for $58,394,603 with the post judgment interest of 1.8% from the date of the judgment. This fraud, conversion and RICO suit alleged that Defendant Bryan conspired with unknown U.S. government officials to misappropriate the investors funds and financial instruments, and convert services of transaction intermediaries including Bryans CIA subordinates. Plaintiff alleged that Defendant Bryan had promoted himself as a commitment holder for the U.S. and 18 foreign governments, as well as a supplier of refined gold to the U.S. Treasury, manager of $335 billion of private funds, and manager of currency stabilization programs for foreign governments. Bryan distributed his resume stating that he sat by invitation with three U.S. presidents at G7 Banking Affairs meetings and served 21 years with the U.S. intelligence community. Heini Demmer, et al. v. Paul K. Bryan, Special Air Operations Group, Inc., et al.

Both Plaintiff (an Austrian investor) and Defendant testified in another fraud and racketeering trial. Vizantia-Exclusive, Ltd. v. Kristar, Inc. et al. (appeal was dismissed). That seven-day Michigan federal jury trial (ended on May 15, 2002) has resulted in the award to Vizantia (a Russian gold mine and real estate development company) of $8,100,000.00 (i.e. 27 times the Vizantias $300,000 stolen by Bryans racketeering enterprise). The suit alleged that CIA operatives defrauded investors and brokers via worldwide racketeering schemes under a pretext of investment in secret, high-yield trading programs and multi-billion foreign currency exchange programs.

Defendant Bryan (a/k/a Lyle Edward Goeringer) proved to his numerous victims that his companies, Special Air Operations Group, Rapid Emergency Air Response Group, Bryan Group International and offshore firm EyeLand Traders, are affiliated with the U.S. government. For example, witnesses (foreign and U.S. citizens) testified that Bryan convinced them of his alleged high-level CIA position by revealing to them their personal background secrets (such as their participation in government undercover operations or income tax transgressions in Austria) that only a few government officials would have access to. He demonstrated his access to satellite images by correctly identifying color of the shirt worn by the out-of-state caller walking down the street or a car location.

Trial evidence showed that Bryan misappropriated $2,000,000 (which resulted in a $58,394604 judgment, i.e. the judgment was 29 times the stolen cash amount) from an Austrian Investor, $3,124,000 from an Arizona company, financial instruments such as North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank Guarantees (valued at $4.645 billion), Bulgarian Bills of Exchange (about $108 million), and looted other victims cash, negotiable notes, bank guarantees and other instruments. Witnesses confirmed that Bryan concealed his bank accounts by laundering the funds through other parties accounts and invoked death threats, witness tampering and intimidation of transaction intermediaries (whom he paid nothing for their multi-year services) to achieve the goals of his criminal enterprise. Defendant Bryan produced a contract for the sale to him of 320 trillion Iranian Rials (about $106 billion), stipulated that he received about $6,000,000 in cash, admitted that he sent false communications, and paid no income taxes from 1980 to present.

Bryan has filed for bankruptcy to make sure that his debts and many court judgments would not be paid. Another co-defendant is allegedly penniless and terminally ill. Bryan bragged to many people that he is above the law. All complaints to the government have been fruitless, and even resulted in reprisals for some of the victims, such as removal of CIA operatives security clearance, Secret Service detention of his property, and subsequent vilification of his reputation and loyal service to our country.
