Paul C: Edge of Belief

Edge of Belief

A Utah con I never saw coming

Obtain an inside look at a real-life Ponzi scheme from the vantage point of one of its victims.
We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what happens when you're the victim of one?
After a 30-year career with the 3M Company, Pat Dougherty retired on December 1, 2022. Prior to retiring, he invested in a clean energy company called Rhino Onward International (ROI) that claimed to be seeking investors to fund a clean energy hydrogen plant in Arizona. Having friends in management positions with ROI, Dougherty considered it to be a secure investment, but that trust was soon to be shattered! 
In the fall of 2023, ROI shut its doors, and it was revealed that the two founders had been skimming money from ROI to pay off other business ventures, other investments, and to fund their lavish lifestyles. And as more information came to light, it was revealed that their scam involved roughly 250 investors to the tune of close to $50M. Having personally lost a good chunk of his retirement savings, Dougherty decided to tell his story and expose these two for the Con Artists they are!
In Wolves in Sheep's Clothing, Dougherty chronicles his ordeal from the time of his initial investment to the revelation of the scam. Relating his experiences and utilizing his digital communication with the company's two founders, Dougherty exposes the depth of their lies and deception. Offering readers a unique look at the inner workings of a Ponzi scheme, Dougherty's firsthand account is a stark reminder that if an investment opportunity looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

A Ponzi Scheme Victim's Story

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Welche Bedeutung haben die alten Mythen unserer Vorfahren heutzutage und was haben sie mit den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart zu tun? Weitaus mehr, als viele glauben. In allen Zeiten, in denen gesellschaftliche und politische Unsicherheiten zunehmen oder technologische Entwicklungen unsere Welt rasant verändern, rücken die alten Geschichten wieder ins Bewusstsein. Dieses Buch zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass Mythen weit mehr sind als romantische Erzählungen aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten. Sie sind verschlüsselte Handlungsanleitungen für Krisenzeiten - und wer sie richtig liest, entdeckt darin Strategien für Mut, Verantwortung und Wandel.

Der Autor verbindet fundiertes kulturgeschichtliches Wissen mit moderner Analyse und macht deutlich: Die alten Erzählungen von Walhall, Siegfried oder den Göttern der Edda sind nicht nur kulturelles Erbe, sondern praktische Lebenshilfe in unruhigen Zeiten. Sie erinnern uns daran, dass es der Einzelne ist, der Entscheidungen trifft, wenn die Gemeinschaft zu zaudern beginnt. Sie zeigen, wie man aus Chaos Ordnung schafft und warum das Vergessen dieser Geschichten eine Gefahr für jede Gesellschaft ist.

Dieses Buch richtet sich an Leserinnen und Leser, die sich für Mythen, Geschichte und kulturelles Gedächtnis interessieren - und an all jene, die in der Gegenwart nach Orientierung suchen. Wer erfahren möchte, warum unsere alten Geschichten nicht nur überliefert, sondern verstanden und genutzt werden sollten, findet hier Inspiration, Denkanstöße und konkrete Handlungsimpulse.

Ein unverzichtbares Werk für alle, die in den alten Mythen nicht nur die Vergangenheit, sondern die Wegweiser für eine selbstbestimmte Zukunft erkennen.
Hermann Selchow

Deutsche Mythen im Spiegel der Gegenwart

Die Erben der Legenden

On March 18, 1990, in the early hours after St. Patrick's Day, two men dressed as police officers walked into Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and walked out with over $500 million in stolen art. Vermeer's The Concert, Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, and works by Degas and Manet disappeared without a trace. It remains the most expensive and baffling art theft in history.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist: Art, Ambition, and Unsolved Mystery (1990) offers a gripping deep dive into the events of that night and the decades-long investigation that followed. Author James G. Edwards II masterfully blends true crime with art history, exploring how a single robbery devastated a cultural institution, shook the art world, and fueled countless theories from mob connections to inside jobs.
Readers will encounter the legendary stolen works, the eccentric founder who built the museum, and the law enforcement efforts that have yielded no arrests, no recoveries, and no closure. Through historical detail and dramatic pacing, this book tells the full story behind an unsolved crime that continues to haunt and intrigue.

LARGE PRINT EDITION
36 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Mayhem
Three Book Collection: Volumes 19, 20, and 21 of the True Crime Case Histories Series
***** This series can be read in any order *****

The true crime genre tends to revolve around the same notorious names, retold and reexamined until every detail becomes familiar. But for every killer who achieved infamy, dozens more committed equally heinous acts that barely made it past the local news. Their victims' stories remain untold, their families' grief unacknowledged by the wider world.
This collection digs deeper, unearthing cases that prove not all monsters are famous. Through careful research and compelling storytelling, these accounts reveal that the most disturbing crimes often happen far from the spotlight-in quiet suburbs, rural communities, and forgotten corners where evil thought no one was watching.
A sampling of the stories includes:

The Perfect Murder - She was 26 and planning her dream wedding. Her fiancé seemed perfect-a psychiatric nurse studying to become a doctor. But while she picked out flowers and finalized seating charts, he was Googling "chemicals to dissolve bodies."

The Body in the Garden - For eighteen years, an eccentric elderly woman hosted neighborhood barbecues. But her guests had no idea she was keeping an unthinkable secret wrapped in plastic in the garden shed, just feet from where children played.

The Bargain Basement - Patients came to him for cosmetic surgery at bargain-basement prices. But when emergency responders arrived at his basement operating room, they found the surgeon trying to save a dying patient with a wire coat hanger.

The Wrong Car - A college senior celebrating her final weeks before law school made the same decision millions make every weekend--she opened an app and requested a ride home. But the car that pulled up wasn't the rideshare she thought it was.

The Crown Hill Murder - A sixteen-year-old girl disappeared from her own home. Her family never suspected that someone they trusted completely had been planning her death for weeks.

The Social Media Killer - When a controlling husband's threats finally escalated to murder, he made a chilling decision: to document his crime in a way that would shock the world.

Plus thirty more chilling true crime cases.

These aren't stories ripped from headlines you've already read. They're deep dives into lesser-known cases, reconstructed from court transcripts, police files, and witness testimony. These aren't padded with speculation or cheap thrills-they're thoroughly researched investigations into humanity's capacity for evil when it believes it's invisible.

Vom Kaiserhof zur Straßenküche - Japans kulinarische Philosophie

Die Evolution der japanischen Küche

What significance do the ancient myths of our ancestors have today, and what do they have to do with the challenges of the present? Far more than many believe. In times when social and political uncertainty increases or technological developments rapidly transform our world, these ancient stories are once again gaining attention. This book impressively demonstrates that myths are far more than romantic tales from past centuries. They are coded instructions for action in times of crisis-and those who read them correctly will discover strategies for courage, responsibility, and change.

The author combines sound cultural-historical knowledge with modern analysis and makes it clear: The ancient stories of Valhalla, Siegfried, and the gods of the Edda are not just cultural heritage, but practical guidance in turbulent times. They remind us that it is the individual who makes decisions when the community begins to hesitate. They show how to create order out of chaos and why forgetting these stories is a danger to every society.

This book is aimed at readers interested in myths, history, and cultural memory-and at all those seeking guidance in the present. Anyone who wants to learn why our ancient stories should not only be passed on, but also understood and utilized, will find inspiration, food for thought, and concrete impulses for action here.

An indispensable work for all who see in ancient myths not only the past, but also the guideposts for a self-determined future.
Hermann Selchow
