In 1999 Jerome Mayne, father of two young boys, received a 21 month prison sentence for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, a crime that took place four years earlier. Four years earlier, he didn’t think he was involved in a crime. On November 4th, 1999, he reported to the Federal Prison in Yankton, South Dakota. His career, life and family changed forever. Before that, he thought he was just like any other good entrepreneur.

Everyone, everyday has the opportunity to turn the other way, omit facts and even commit fraud. Today, our news media is full of professionals who may have been unaware of, or didn’t think that the “corners they cut” were significant. Some find comfort in the phrase, “Everybody does it.” But, fraud is fraud and it has devastating effects on them, their companies, their families, their careers and last but not least, our society.

Jerome is a self taught expert on fraudulent behavior. His dynamic presentation, Fraud & Consequences will take your audience from scared, to (believe it or not) laughing hysterically. He is the author of the book, Life Saving Lessons – the diary of a white collar criminal and a regular columnist in finance industry trade publications. He has enlightened and entertained dozens of Fortune 500 companies and trade association conferences across the country.

He does answer that one burning question everyone has, “Is there a big guy named Bubba?” The answer is, “No”. His name is Dave.

His keynotes and workshops have been approved for many purposes including continuing education in the following fields: real estate, mortgage licensing, title insurance, life insurance and continuing legal education. He is also a member of the Real Estate Educators Association and the National Speakers Association.

Areas of Expertise:

Business

He brings the human element to some of the truths in life through his sobering story and humor.

You know how sometimes, after a convention, people ask, “Hey, how was that speaker?” And you say, “aaaaa – yeah, not so good.” He never, ever gets that.

Chilling. Your message was exactly what our people needed to hear. Teresa Grove – VP Marketing and Predictive Methods Conference Coordinator, First American Residential

Your personal stories and your message captured and entertained the audiences at two of our biggest corporate events of the year.

I thought your talk was very informative and entertaining at this year's Arkansas State Bar Association's Annual Conference.

Bueter, Esq. – Real Estate Section Chair, Arkansas State Bar Association

The presentation was outstanding and received the highest marks on the critiques from our attendees. What I personally liked about the presentation was that it was heartfelt and personal, and I believe that many in the audience could see themselves being drawn into a similar situation if not vigilant and willing to stand their ground.
