 New York Daily News - Crime File - Plot to steal Letterman's son
Sometime in the last few weeks, he confided to a close buddy, Robert Gondeiro, who also works at the ranch, that he had a get-rich-quick plan.
Prosecutors said Kelly Frank's scheme against the late-night comedian was no joke: He knew where 16-month-old Harry Letterman's crib was kept, took pictures of the property and procured a key to the house.
Wearing striped prison overalls and a droopy mustache, Kelly Frank appeared before a Teton County justice of the peace yesterday to be arraigned on a felony solicitation charge for the kidnapping plot.

 The Scotsman - Critique - Eastern premise
With the Darién Scheme, for example, he was fascinated by the way in which the get-rich-quick project worked "almost as though it was a virus that had been particularly crafted to get into Scots".
From the moment his publisher read The Rising Sun, his novel about the Darién Scheme, he declared it to be "the most assured first novel I have ever read".
On these pages Allan Massie was also impressed, not just by Galbraith’s skill as a writer but because he had seen what no-one else had: that the Darién Scheme, that great drama of Scottish dreams, delusion and loss, could make meaty historical fiction.

 Franz Tausend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, upon his release from prison after serving out his 4-year sentence, Tausend quickly began promoting his next "get-rich-quick" scheme.
Tausend had raised approximately half a million dollars (roughly $5.6 million in 2005 dollars) to fund his four laboratories; but most the money went instead to fund extravegant lifestyles for the four main business partners.
In a highly sensationalized trial that witnessed Tausend's gold-extraction process first hand, the judge convicted the disgraced man and sentenced him to prison -- not because the process itself was proved to be fraudulent, but because the cost of the process doomed the project to financial failure.
