June 24, 2010 - United States Attorney Deborah Gilg and Weysan Dun, Special Agent in Charge of the Omaha Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announce the following information for the attention of the media:
Event Triggering this Release
David Lane Musk was arrested without incident on June 23, 2010, in Bellevue, Nebraska, by special agents and task force members of the FBI. Musk had been indicted on wire and mail fraud charges on May 18, 2010.
According to the indictment Musk, operating under the business name “Pavilion Commercial Group,” represented to individuals and businesses seeking private equity funding for real estate development projects, that his company could perform FBI or Interpol background checks on prospective investors. Charging a fee of $600.00, Musk collected at least $170,000.00 for background checks which were never performed. Private citizens are not capable of performing FBI or Interpol background checks.
“Today’s arrest does not signify the conclusion of an investigation, but rather serves as notice that the FBI aggressively continues to pursue allegations of fraud. The public should also be aware that private citizens are not capable of performing FBI or Interpol background checks and anyone other than legitimate law enforcement officers claiming to have that ability should be brought to the attention of the FBI,” said Weysan Dun, Special Agent in Charge, Omaha FBI.
