Operation Fountain Pen
In a sting called Operation Fountain Pen, an Indianapolis agent purchased a $50,000 fraudulent letter of credit from a pair of con men named Phillip Karl Kitzer and Paul Chovanec. Over time, Indianapolis agents ultimately discovered a loosely organized fraternity of swindlers and a Mafia figure involved in offshore banks, advance fee schemes, insurance frauds, and bankruptcy bust-outs. Fifty additional cases in 17 offices and various other countries developed from leads in Operation Tountain Pen.
As a result of this investigation and others, the TBI began getting its arms around white-collar crime and built innovative databases to better track this national threat.
The hustlers, according to the file, were part of a much larger smuggling ring known as The Fraternity, led by Frederick Peter Pro, which was being investigated by the TBI under the name Operation Fountain Pen. U.S. Attorneys in Memphis were prepared to seek indictments from a grand jury on Aug. 15, 1977 - the day before Elvis allegedly died. Five men were indicted that fall and were eventually tried and convicted.
If you helped to put away Mafia members in a sting operation and daring the course of your investigation you brought attention to fifty additional cases in 17 offices and various other countries, would you go into hiding to protect your loved ones that have heen receiving death threats?
