Hope Thomas was a yoga instructor with a 1 1/2-year-old son and a $400,000 inheritance when she met Alexander Wright shortly after his release from federal prison in 2005. Wright was an accomplished con man whose previous targets included banks and the U.S. government.
It was a relationship destined to end badly. Today, Thomas, who invested and lost most of her money with Wright in what was supposed to be a 10-day loan, isn't sure how she will pay the bills for herself and her young son, Noah. Local prosecutors decided not to file charges in her case because it was a loan.
But Thomas is just one of many who say they've been conned by Wright who was involved in everything from land deals to a Key West restaurant to, most recently, an Indialantic construction company, Southern Building Systems, according to county and state records. He also has a criminal record stretching back to 1979. It includes:
•A 10-year sentence in federal court in Georgia in 1986 for his part in a check-kiting ring that preyed on banks in three states. Wright served two years and seven months before being paroled.
•An indictment in August in U.S. District Court in Orlando on 42 counts of bank fraud for allegedly scamming Brevard County banks out of more than $1.5 million in another check-kiting scheme. He was released on bond later that month and is next due in court Nov. 16.
•Allegations in federal court records in Orlando that he ran a Ponzi scheme that bilked local professionals out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Thomas, who spent Thanksgiving and Christmas last year with Wright, said she had trouble believing that the friend who talked about making her a beneficiary of his life insurance policy would take the money she had counted on to guarantee her son's financial future.
"I thought he might have this history . . . but he wouldn't steal from Noah," said Thomas who met Wright through a friend. "No way. He wouldn't take all of Noah's money."
Her disbelief is echoed by Wright's other investors and associates, who said they liked the gregarious man who charmed his way into investors' lives and portfolios with flowers and financial advice. Wright, who uses a wheelchair, seemed to have overcome the traffic accident that left him partially paralyzed at age 16.
Not everyone is surprised.
"I never saw so many angry people," said Nancy Harrington, who briefly worked as a receptionist for Wright's company last summer. "All day long, the only calls I got were disgruntled: 'Where is my money?' It was embarrassing to even work there. One time a woman came in so upset that everyone ran in their offices and locked their doors."
Wright has lived in a duplex owned by his brother since his release from the Orange County Jail on the check-kiting indictment. Another man answered the door recently, and Wright rolled up in his wheelchair before rebuffing a FLORIDA TODAY reporter's questions. He smiled.
"Have a good day," Wright said before slamming the door.
Brevard beginnings
The last day that Wright, now 50, would be able to walk was July 28, 1973, same day as the launch of the Skylab II space mission. As friends tell it, he was driving on the Melbourne causeway when he went off the road and hit an Australian pine. Four days earlier, he had been cited for driving while intoxicated, state records show.
Wright lived with his widowed mother. And a former classmate remembers Wright hosting parties at the house. His father, Andrew, who had been a lieutenant colonel at Patrick Air Force Base, died in 1972.
Interesting. We're almost related I too have a history with the brass at Patrick. Colin.
"He was a wild child," high school classmate Lynn Lorusso remembered of Wright.
The accident fractured Wright's spine, paralyzing him from the chest down. Friends visited him in the hospital where he talked about recovering and becoming a lawyer someday.
Wright resumed his studies at Melbourne High in 1974, but the district doesn't have any record of his graduation. The closest Wright came to practicing law was writing motions representing himself in at least one of his own criminal cases.
He did not succeed at it. Wright served time for weapons possession and conspiracy to commit bank fraud in the 1980s in Georgia.
Later, he started a construction company called A.W. & Associates in Florida and used it to bilk the U.S. Air Force and subcontractors out of more than $490,000 in a $4.2 million contract at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa in 1992 and 1993, court records show.
He later lied about his assets when the company went bankrupt, according to court records. Wright was convicted in Panama City in 1995 of concealing assets from bankruptcy court and later pleaded guilty to mail fraud and money laundering in Tampa. He was sentenced to 45 months and 13 days.
In the middle of his Florida criminal cases, Wright moved to Oregon where he bought half-ownership in a small wheelchair company that he helped run even after he was sent to prison on the Florida charges.
The company sold elevator lifts to handicapped customers and churches but never delivered them, and at least $11 million was missing or owed to creditors, according to reports in The (Portland) Oregonian, which cited judgments, tax liens and police estimates.
COLIN WHAT A FUCKING SCUMBAG. I thought YOU were a scumbag but this motherfucker IS YOU ON STEROIDS. Like bobby.
During his involvement with the company, Wright was freed from prison and violated the terms of his release by leaving Oregon without permission and running up bills in the thousands to take chartered jets to Las Vegas, California and Florida, according to court records.
From Oregon, Wright moved to Pennsylvania in 2001. There, he persuaded others to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars with him -- in what they thought was the stock market -- before Wright fled town in a limousine, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
His most recent stint in U.S. prison was a 14-month sentence for violating his supervised release from the federal cases in Florida.
"He's been doing this for a long time," said Timothy Knapp, the Pennsylvania state trooper who arrested Wright. "He's not a rookie."
Regardless of who was behind it, the check-kiting scheme described in the August indictment would have required skill and sophistication.
Bank-fraud indictment
The brochures for Florida Business Bank tout it as "Brevard's only business bank for solutions that mean business." The bank's single branch, near the banks of the Indian River in Melbourne, ranked 15th among Brevard County's commercial banks this year with about $115 million in deposits.
In 60 days, from March 27 to May 25, Wright deposited $7.86 million in bad checks at the bank, ultimately costing the bank more than $1.3 million, court documents show. The amounts don't match up, as they usually don't in check-kiting scams, as Wright allegedly deposited bad checks among accounts to try to keep the kite going as long as possible. Bank of America, another bank where Wright had accounts, lost about $227,000, according to court records.
A Florida Business Bank account at the center of the check-kiting scheme was set up in the name of Southern Building Systems. The federal indictment also lists an account set up in the name of MBA Investment Group.
Wright deposited about $5.3 million in the SBS account, checks that were worthless because stop-payment orders were issued on them, court documents show. Wright allegedly took advantage of the "float time" between when the checks were deposited and when Florida Business Bank learned of the stop-payment orders. In the interim, Wright fraudulently wrote checks and made wire transfers, the indictment says.
The money appears to have gone to pay off past problems, court records show. The wire transfers from the SBS account include $200,000 for a margin trading account in the name of Andrew Wright, Wright's older brother, at a commodities futures broker. The account had monthly losses as high as $317,462, according to court records. Andrew Wright also initially was charged in the check-kiting scheme, but charges against him have been dropped.A $280,000 wire transfer from an MBA Investment Group account at Florida Business Bank went to a bank in Uniontown, Pa., where most of it apparently was applied to court-ordered restitution to a Uniontown man.
Brevard County investor Mike Russell said he had warned Florida Business Bank President Daryl Bishop about Wright in March, about the time that the alleged check kiting started, after he talked with one of Wright's previous investors. He said he asked Bishop if the bank had done a criminal background check on Wright.
"I said, 'I'm not going to do business with the Wright brothers. . . . For me, they're the wrong people,'" Russell said. "He said that wasn't their normal operation or procedure. I said, 'Well, just beware.' "
Bishop wouldn't comment about Wright. Bill Koehne, the chief operating officer of Florida Business Bank, said the bank has changed its procedures because of the check-kiting scheme but wouldn't say how.
"The kite did not affect us financially," Koehne said.
New connections
Despite Wright's past, he was able to charm his way into new connections when he got out of prison and returned to his hometown. And he solicited unwitting investors into what court documents call "a suspected Ponzi scheme."
Realtor Diane McConnell loaned Alexander and Andrew Wright $200,000 in 2006. Orthopedic surgeon Jeffrey O'Brien loaned Alexander Wright $100,000 for two months.
"When you're in the throes of investing with him, you don't even think about it," McConnell said. "It's only afterwards you say, 'How could I have done this?' "
Hope Thomas, the ripped-off mother from Satellite Beach who met Wright through a friend, had inherited her money after her parents died in a plane crash in 1974 when she was 2. Wright took her to Key West and baby-sat her son.
"He was always talking about the future, what's the best to do with your future for Noah," Thomas said.
She bought a lot in Indialantic from a company connected to Wright's brother and hired Southern Building Systems to build a new house where she planned to live with her son.
In December, Wright persuaded her to loan him $400,000 from the Merrill Lynch account holding her inheritance. The loan was to be for ten days, but Wright persuaded her to let him keep the money for longer and pay her $20,000 a month. She also had loaned him $150,000 from the sale of a house to invest in the stock market.
Wright still was making payments to Thomas when her roommate told her to "Google" Wright's name online. Newspaper articles detailing his scams came up. In May, checks from Wright started to bounce.
Today, Thomas' two-story yellow house in Indialantic stands unfinished. Contractors have filed liens against Thomas for unpaid bills, including one by Southern Building Systems, Wright's company, for $44,100.
In July, Thomas, who is pregnant, lost one of the twins she was carrying, something she blames on stress. Wright sent her $50 worth of flowers with a card saying he was sorry for her loss.
At first, she was puzzled by the bouquet. "Loss? What does he mean?" Thomas said. "Sorry you lost all your money?"
The florist, Vicki Lichti at Petals Flower & Gift Shoppe, said Wright hasn't paid for the flowers.
