Max Kirishima Scam

I invested in two films entitled Blue Hill Avenue and Cahoots. Producers were Mike Erwin (Jacksonville, OR) and J. Max Kirishima (Woodland Hills, CA/Japan). Five million was raised by Rand Chortkoff (Los Angeles, CA) & minions. Blue Hill Avenue cost 1M to make. Some of the balance was supposedly used to "finish" the project to sell it to Artisan Pictures. The remaining money was pocketed. No investor ever saw a dime from this movie nor from others promoted at the time.

Personal Reflections on FBI Incompetence

With all of the attention focused on the mishandling of information by the FBI, it brought back recollections of their conversations with me relative to my claims involving the subject movie scam. I did file a case with them in Los Angeles, received a case number, but never heard much. They claimed they wouldn't be in touch with me as their investigation would be secretive. Eventually, I pressed them for more information and received the response that their agents were consumed with working on 9/11 and they did not have enough personnel. I was told to contact my congressmen/representatives to push for more FBI staffing. That was the end of it. More excuses, more inaction, more criminals getting away with egregious crimes. Ho hum.
