Gale McKenzie, the lead Assistant U.S. Attorney in Cox’s case, marveled at his skills, stating, “The guy was good, very good. Nothing deterred him, stops by law enforcement didn’t… Even after being questioned by detectives, Cox didn’t run, he went to several other banks and emptied accounts… He put a new twist on the classic property flip, and he made millions and millions and millions.”

U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten, Sr. summed up Cox’s fraud as “breathtaking” in its scope, complexity, and nefariousness. It is a story that captivates, shocks, and leaves audiences in awe.
