Luetgert Trial Hearings Reveal English Swindler Scheme
Ex Judge Vincent opened testimony in the Luetgert murder case alleging a London financier named Davey manipulated Luetgert into a hog sausage empire plan. The scheme promised $200,000 cash and $1,900,000 in meat profits, with Luetgert sinking into debt while investors forged wealth claims. The courtroom drama showed Luetgert’s collapse into insanity after the alleged ruse.
