Anonymous chatter: Petters was under 24 hour surveillance, assistant helped bust him
Filed under: Tom Petters
WCCO's Esme Murphy wrote an interesting blog post this weekend quoting some anonymous sources on the Tom Petters fraud case. According to these sources, Petters was under 24 hour surveillance since the raid. The case against him was gathered through his personal assistant who wore a wire for months. How scandalous.
Read her full blog after the jump.
As Tom Petters spends a long weekend in jail one has to wonder what is going through his mind.According to my sources and court documents federal authorities were convinced Petters was going to leave the country.
My sources say Petters has been under 24 hour surveillance since authorities raided his company 11 days ago.
In the days immediately after the raid my sources tell me Petters was texting friends assuring them the investigation was not a big deal and they wouldn't believe what it was all about.
It turns out the investigation is a staggeringly big deal. The government has mapped out a fraud scheme that is in excess of $1 billion.
My sources tell me the mole in all this is Petters long time personal assistant who wore a wire for months. My sources tell me this woman collected up to $8 million in bonuses from Petters in the past few years.
My sources tell me that a number of local business people are dealing with the reality that they are out millions after having invested with Petters.
Expect prosecutors to argue for no bail at Tuesday's detention hearing.
Petters can't seem to catch a break in this town. Doesn't anyone feel just a tinge of sadness for this man? Anyone? Didn't think so.

Deanna Coleman is Tom's long time assistant, she has been with him for twenty years and there has been no mention of her since the original article.
I am suspecting it is she.. wait and see
