With an investment of just pennies on the dollar, they promised an end to credit card debt, mortgages and hefty car loans.
And word of the “3 Hebrew Boys” spread. Small meetings in living rooms grew to fill church meeting halls and hotel ballrooms, with followers wooed, authorities now say, by promises of massive returns from investments in foreign currencies.
