I just spoke with them, and unfortunately, Peter Paul has not yet been extradited. They are working as hard as they possibly can. The man I spoke to said that it was "in a lot of people's best interests that we get him back here A.S.A.P."
I've read sources saying that he has, now. I might've heard the lawyer wrong, but I'm pretty sure I didn't. You guys let me know what you find out.
Hmmmmm....
A former partner to the creator of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk appeared in federal court yesterday after he was extradited from Brazil on charges of orchestrating a scheme the Green Goblin would have been proud of. Peter Paul - a convicted con man who co-founded the Internet company Stan Lee Media Inc. with comic-book genius Stan Lee - had fought extradition from a South American prison since his arrest in August 2001 for weaving a web of deceit to snare himself $25 million.
Paul drove Stan Lee Media into bankruptcy by conspiring to pump up the company's value and then dump thousands of shares of stock, according to court papers filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kenneth Breen and Michael Cornacchia.
But the alleged swindler, who announced his intentions to act as his own lawyer yesterday, wants the world to believe he's the hero of this story.
For years, Paul has accused the feds of persecuting him to stop him from blowing the whistle on illegal campaign contributions he claims he gave to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
