Swindlers Expose Police Pension Swindle Linked to New York Business
A Boston recounts a sprawling scheme where swindlers paid a New York police lieutenant to secure a pension and later fund a New York business. The lieutenant ferried Coleman abroad, guarded gambling rooms, and drained Walsh and Kelcher of tens of thousands. The tale traces bail funds, offshore schemes, and a web of trust that kept the ex-officer prosperous despite exposure.
