Florida Everglades land inquiry to probe major sale scheme

Fulton county buyers await outcomes as trustees seek to block funds from the Florida Fruit Land Company until drainage and improvement agreements are fulfilled. The case, tied to Everglades lands sold to Denver buyers, could reveal whether the Florida real estate boom was a legitimate investment or a vast swindle.
