Frank likes to tell the stories of the families he has helped over the years. One of his favorite stories is about an elderly couple that had gone to a Savings and Loan to invest their life savings. The president of the Savings and Loan convinced them to give the money to him. He said he would pay them a higher rate of interest than they could get from the Savings and Loan Association. Of course, when they asked for their money back it wasn’t there. Frank sued the Savings and Loan along with the officer, utilizing the new RICO law which stands for Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization. The Federal Judge immediately wrote back saying, “You have ten days to show me why this case shouldn’t be dismissed.” Frank worked day and night. The case was not dismissed and the couple got all their money back.
