  • In 1963, a new car insurance company would pop up in the United Kingdom called Fire, Auto, and Marine. They advertised astonishingly low rates and people flocked to be covered by them. However, within a few years, the company went bust and it was found out that a man named Emil Savundra had simply taken the money and ran off. It was not the first time he had done something like that.

    He sold a fake shipment of coffee beans to the Costa Rican Government? I'm impressed. That's like selling snow to an Eskimo. Hello from Costa Rica. 🇨🇷

      Maybe he “sold” it to them at a steep discount so they figured they could mark it up and make a nice profit.

    What a scam! Offered protection and didn't even send people to break the thumbs of people who didn't pay.

    Did he take on the Battlestar Galatica? Ceylon is normally pronounced as Seelon.

    Darkness, it is Ceylon (Say-Lon) and not Cylon, the robots fighting the 12 Colonies.

    Darkness you've forgot to mention his title Sir David Frost. One of the greatest interviewees in the World.
    Love you to do your own take on the Frost and Nixon Interview.

    Ceylon is pronounced "seLON". Berkshire in the UK is pronounced "Barkshur". You cannot apply US pronunciation rules to these names - they've been around for rather longer than the USA and they've passed through The Great Vowel Shift that affected English in the middle ages.

    This guy was really good at ripping people off! He missed his chance to be in government where the big money is!
