Needing bail bonds Morris County resident James Nigel Heathenport made several phone calls. Having a business in bail bonds New Jersey resident Richard Torndirk picked up the phone. Nigel was a descent man caught in a shady deal. He signed the contract for a loan to a company his boss wanted to do business with. The boss was supposed to sign the papers but was out that day with food poisoning and asked Nigel to step in and handle the formality. Nigel agreed since he had the authority and figured his boss would have done proper due diligence, not knowing that the company was a sham and the boss was washing money. Nigel discovered later that his name was all over the internal paper work creating the new company he agreed to lend money to. None of it was legitimate, but the investigators went with the evidence figuring the lawyers would unravel the truth.
After his arrest Nigel contacted a lawyer and explained his case. The lawyer came to the following two conclusions that Nigel was an innocent man being set up as a fall guy, and that proving that fact would be very difficult. The lawyer suggested Nigel consider a plea bargain for a light sentence but Nigel refused. He contacted Richard, explained his situation and the case, as he understood it. even though it was Nigel’s first offense, the judge hammered him with a high bail not even considering that Nigel was a low flight risk. The judge and Nigel’s boss both members of the same country club.
Nigel took out a mortgage and was able to gather the money for the bond. Richard, feeling for his situation, gave him the best deal he could manage. Free to roam the streets, Nigel began looking for a new and better lawyer. He managed to find a bulldog of a lawyer that grew up believing in social justice. This lawyer hated how the powerful often got away with their crimes while some poor schmuck took the fall. Nigel was a naive innocent but he was not without talents. One of his talents was an ability to unravel complicated accounting records. Nigel was mostly a researcher and that made him the wrong fall guy. Setting up Nigel was one of the few errors the boss made.
Nigel managed to track down all the complicated details. He discovered a net work of people that stood to profit on the deal while everyone else would lose millions. Nigel found out that the trial judge stood to make millions if he could keep everyone out of jail, and manage to keep all the blame squarely on Nigels’s back.
If Nigel was stuck behind bars before the trial, if he had been unable to make bail, it is certain that no one else would have uncovered the malicious facts. It was only through his freedom that Nigel was able to spend the time going through company files, following key suspects and talking with the right informants. Nigel was able to uncover a major white collar crime because he was out on bail.
