This FBI file concerns an investigation into allegedly fraudulent insurance and credit-enhancement bonds issued by companies operating from Louisiana and other locations. The records include a 1989 New Orleans FBI letterhead memorandum describing investor complaints, losses tied to a refinery investment, allegedly worthless bonds, and possible mail fraud, wire fraud, and interstate transportation of stolen property. The memorandum states that investors received a letter attributed to former Louisiana Governor Edwin W. Edwards concerning a company involved in the transaction, and directs agents to determine whether he wrote it. A 1991 airtel documents consolidation and expansion of the investigation to additional insurance, underwriting, risk-management, and guaranty entities, with leads sent to several FBI field offices.
