For starters, the charges you're referencing appear to have been little more than an IRS witch hunt. Maybe he voted Republican?
It takes a special kind of person to defend a felon convicted of scamming millions of dollars from senior citizens.
Perhaps Wrenchmonkey and Mr. Vleisides have more in common than we thought.

So I hate adding fluff to forums, but I guess that's where I am for the time being.
Speaking of riding the short bus, I present a line from his second post...

Very generous of you. I've been buying copper, since I can't afford precious metals.
Yet he's able to afford a place to store a couple tons of copper to eventually sell it for ten grand, profit made once he subtracts his investment cost.
Even if he's going the save-the-copper-pennies route, he'll need to amass 292,000 pennies to equal a ton. If he sells the pennies at $.05 (5 cents each), he'll earn a whopping 400% profit, having ONLY his time and storage space for the pennies as his overheard, netting him a $11,680 ROI in who-knows-when.
Here's what 2.5 tons of pennies looks like with a face value of only $10,000 being that their mixed clad:
If all copper, and at five cents each, his profit would be $40,000.

I would love to make this and start collecting pennies. Does anyone know what the dimensions are for this?

Obviously she's no Sherlocks Holmes, for clearly one could easily deduce it's approximately 2' X 2' X 7' (the plaque is at eye level, thus a 7' max height; the floor tiles are 12" square).
Now, we've come full circle: http://www.mynews3.com/content/news/story/James-Ray-The-Silver-King-Houston-dead-at-66/PBuDmtPW60WSB9kDsWc3rg.cspx

Houston would float grand plans for get rich schemes, but was shaky with the details. Like the time he returned to Las Vegas in June of 1980 to seek investors in a scam to gather millions of pennies.
But let's assume he's the driver of the short bus, and doesn't collect pennies. He's then paying spot for copper bullion which, by the way, will take up a helluva lot more space and have a much higher investment involved. Let's hope he's wearing his glasses and sees the STOP sign straight ahead, otherwise there's going to be some messed up special people, all with pre-orders at BFL.
