So will the Feb 27 Zone 1 Tech Tactics be looking for another location?

Try www.farnbacherloles.com for starters. Since that's down, dial them on 203.798.2929 and ask them. Smart money says no Zone 1 Tech Tactics.

I'm betting Tech Tactics will find a new home promptly. I am saddened that one bad guy took down a good organization.

Update - Zone 1 Tech Tactics has been moved to Danbury Porsche. Same dates as previously announced.

Whoever reacted so quickly deserves some applause!

One million? Is that a typo? Only one million total? For the WHOLE GROUP?!?

With Fairfield Greenwich Advisors LLC fresh in recent memory I am honestly surprised that a one million dollar rip off makes headlines in CT.

Loles is down, I've heard Farnbacher is still running his stuff in Europe.

It was WAY more than 1 million. Details will be out very soon.

Unfortunately, these stories are all too common these days. And the numbers always seem to increase from the original reported amounts.

I feel for the team at F-N in Danbury, they are a great group and have been nothing but professional and respectful to me and my friends over the years.

Agreed. I have had a great experience with them. I'm heading up there tomorrow to check things out and see if my wheels are still in storage there.
