HOPE AND HELIUM

About the Book

Hope and Helium Greed is a form of hope; and hope is defined as the confusion of the desire for an occurrence with its probability. Helium is self-explanatory. * * * Contained in this true story of how three limited partnership brokers stole more than twenty-six million dollars from investors and got away with it is the layered age-old battle between one’s intellect and one’s heart. Blaise Christopher, Mike Manoukian and Cecil Roberts are brokers bouncing around Los Angeles searching for that elusive partnership that will pay its clients as proposed. Having witnessed untold millions of dollars stolen with seeming impunity, Blaise and Mike reunite to sell a scam of their own. After raising twenty-six million dollars from unsuspecting investors, Blaise and Mike send letters to those from whom they have stolen, describing what they did and why they did it. They then flee the country with the money, leaving Cecil behind. A guilt ridden Cecil returns his take of the pelf, which subsequently gets him arrested. It’s at this point that the concept of Hope and Helium unfolds.

About the Author

Saebloot Biography Saebloot is the pseudonym for the writer of the book, HOPE AND HELIUM. While his career, life, and personality are documented in the manuscript, he has no desire to be famous. Fame is something he’d prefer to avoid. He wrote the book because he had a story to tell and knew of situations on which he wanted to shed light. Being that there exists a statute of limitations on crimes delineated in the book, there are no such limitations as concerns the Internal Revenue Service. Although he no longer has any of the money derived from the machinations described in the book, he prefers to live his life quietly somewhere in the Midwest where no one knows who he is or what he’s done, and would like to continue his life in such obscurity.
