This is the
story of one of America’s greatest con artists of the 20th century.
Born of Cuban descent, Arturo Hoyo, aka The Plastic Magician, found himself on
the front page of the Miami Herald for scamming American Express out of over 8
million dollars of credit card services in Florida alone. His rise to the
pinnacle of his profession was acknowledged by vice-president George Bush and
the Senate Judiciary Committee on crimes involving scams in Washington, D.C.
They had contacted him in prison and convinced him to appear before them.
Coupled with
his adventures of seeking and getting revenge for the murders of his family and
the loss of their Cuban sugar plantation was a lifestyle of the rich and
famous. Spending millions at the drop of a hat, he romanced Hollywood
celebrities as The Plastic Magician who also became his friend. His jet setting
lifestyle with all the toys was one of which we all dream of doing. E.F. Hutton
has nothing over The Plastic Magician for when he speaks, everyone listens.
Everything he says sounds like it can be a best selling book on How To Make
Money Without Really Trying and we all want to know the answer to that
question.
Some of his
scams involved impersonating an Argentinian General and Mr. Bacardi, the rum
magnate. The Plastic Magician can change identities and residences as fast as
Clark Kent can change into Superman.
This is an
incredible story of a remarkable person who is the most memorable and
interesting person I have ever met.
