But does he know Borat?

Note the striking resemblance between the APF coat of arms and that of Montenegro.

After looking at the APF website yesterday, I seriously believed it was some type of comical, SNL farce making fun of the private security contracting "underworld." That it's (semi) serious and run by someone with such a long history of fraud is a bit frightening.

I love the use of cheap stock-photography of untrained actors dressed up in pretend SWAT uniforms - all of whom have their fingers on the trigger of the prop-weapons they'r holding menacingly (the finger on the trigger is the best way to identify an actor vs a real law enforcement or military operator).

The computer rendering of the $12 million Blackhawk helicopter they don't actually own (well, maybe they own the image, but it's more likely they "borrowed" it from somebody else's website) is a treat. Somehow I seriously doubt they own or operate any Apache helicopters either - especially the one they show outfitted with air to surface missiles, either, though that copter hovering over your house would definitely make you think twice about sleeping with another man's wife.

Very, very strange - but ultimately I think the whole thing is a low level publicity stunt by a fraudster who is looking to cash in on private security contracts - about 8 years too late.

Where in the hell is this guy getting the $2M a year to pay the city? I'd love to see that agreement to see the payment schedule. It also will be interesting to see what Money Mark he's conned into fronting the cash of this little start up of his. Probably some rich right wing nutter who hopes to get in on the ground floor of the next Blackwater/Xe.

I'm just wondering - has he every actually paid any of the judgments that have been declared against him? If so, what was his source of funds?

Who cares what private police force actions go on in Montana. Their anti government attitude is about to really bite them in the arse. They actually think a private force that answers to no one with no oversight is a step in the right direction? Wait until private and politcal citizens of that state who this private police force disagrees with end up in prison or worse end up missing. It's almost going to be like the USA's private lil experiment called "Lil Costa Rica" I can hardly wait for these anti government clowns to come back begging the rest of the country to save them from themselves.

How did this guy manage to declare bankruptcy twice in two years? I thought that after you declared bankruptcy, there was a 7-year moratorium on being able to declare it again. Recent bankrupts are one of the targets that predatory lenders go after, because the lenders know they are safe from having the loan written off by a bankruptcy court.

I'm sure Republicans never ask to see *his* birth certificate...

Picture of Hardin here

Past time to investigate the finances of the Authority members who are representing(?) Hardin, Montana.

You know who else was Serbian? The Black Hand! This is conspiracy theory gold baby, GOLD!

Pages 21 and 30 are especially WTF noteworthy:

"...(w)e will not hesistate to:

- Stage auto accidents
- Order auto theft
- Set their businesses on fire
- Claim they have lost their ability to work
- Stage a break-in or theft of personal items
- Inflate the valu of a stolen item
- Add relatives to a list of people allegedly injured in a car accident
- Hire witnesses to support their version of the claim incident"

"We can make a difference in your sentencing and shave time off of your sentence"

What the hell is going on here? Did anybody bother to notice those pages?

The guy's a serial fraudster I wonder who really is going to be occupying the prison, the newly minted APF or some other questionable entity they sublease it to.

It goes to show that crime does pay..... You people up there in hardin need to stand up and fight. Screw that commie bastard that want wants to take over your town, and I bet the u.s. gov't is approving this. See, its started. first , your town then it will be larger towns, then this country , the president already sold our country, there goes our freedom. Dont let this guy or this new American Police Force take over. Im behind you.Good Luck and " MAY GOD ME WITH YOU "
