Deception

Joseph Hyland, a real estate developer during the real estate boom in the early 2000's partnered with a Dutch investor and a Dutch bank to construct six high-end developments in Florida. Their partnership borrowed over $1.5 billion for those developments, all through their Dutch bank partner. Both Hyland's Dutch partner and the president of the Dutch bank crafted deceptions to defraud Hyland of his profits. The large amount of profits generated by these developments initiated the president of the Dutch bank's greed to create another deception. That resulted in, not only diverting funds to just himself, but also multiple suspicious deaths. Both the FBI and the Dutch police began investigations into both the deceptions and suspicious deaths. Those deceptions, as well as frauds created by individuals involved with the real estate developments, caused not only other suspicious deaths, but also the largest foreclosure in the history of Southwest Florida in the amount of over $1 billion.
Deception takes the reader into the mysteries of solving the suspicious deaths, determining who received the missing funds, and unraveling the deceptions to determine who became very rich and who lost everything.
