Deception

Joseph Hyland a real estate developer during the real estate boom in the early 2000s partnered with Josef Rynsburger a Dutch investor; and a Dutch bank whose president was Hagan Vinke to construct six high-end developments in Florida. Hylands partnership with its connection with the Dutch bank borrowed over $1.5 billion for the development of their projects. Both Rynsburger and Vinke created several deceptions to defraud Hyland out of his profits. Vinke as the president of the Dutch bank also deceived both Hyland and Rynsburger because of his greed along with concerns that some or all the developments would fail as the real estate boom dissipated. Those deceptions along with other creative deceptions by individuals involved with the developments caused not only several murders but also the largest foreclosure in the history of Southwest Florida in the amount of just under $1 billion. Deception takes the reader into the mystery of solving the deaths and where all the diverted money disappeared as well as unraveling the deceptions to determine who becomes a millionaire who loses everything or even worse.
