Burdened by Proof – By J.R. Filliter

This is a true crime story of murder, fraud, money laundering, and corruption in Mexico, and a government’s reluctance to assist in bringing the matter to justice.

A vulnerable bank manager was convinced to fraudulently remove millions of dollars from investor accounts, based on false promises of fortunes to be made. The fraudulently obtained funds were laundered through Swiss bank accounts, then used by Mexican cartel associates to purchase three aircraft for the purpose of transporting drugs. When faced with having their scheme exposed, the cartel removed the problem — permanently. On September 28, 2001, the bank manager was unmercifully tortured and murdered.

Burdened by Proof takes us on an investigative journey into the distorted minds of a drug gang driven by greed and inspired by visions of wealth and power.
