Maestro was very likely William, and I have laid this out in previous posts.  The con job worked because useful idoits on IFlub used these posts to show how valuable the concessions were (remember, we had rich neighbors).  Remember also the little dirt road that proved how valuable the concessions were.  Yet no one mentioned that this was just a road grader path across an empty and barren desert.  Great research was presented, with lots of nice maps, and we were told this was done because it was a hobby for Maestro.  A hobby that costs money of course, but a hobby all the same.  Maestro appeared out of the blue, and disappeared in August when the scam fell apart.  Yet the moderators found no fault with this --- I wonder why?
