Outer Banks Piracy II

About the Book

This is Shirley Mays’ second book. She is a North Carolina real estate broker and an environmental consultant.  She has a Research Center at the Cotton Exchange in Wilmington, North Carolina, “A Coast Guard City.”

She lost her son Jeffrey.  He was only 21.  He went fishing one day, 16 miles offshore Cape Hatteras in the Gulf Stream and just simply disappeared.  International drug dealing had been reported in the area and she feels that somehow Jeffrey placed himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.  He was without a doubt a little fish in a huge pond.  The United States Coast Guard conducted one of the largest searches ever on the East Coast.

Shirley has waged a fight against corruption and drug dealing for the last 29 years.  She hates the environment that surrounded her only son that fateful day.  The same environment is prevalent throughout the nation.  It is destroying families everywhere.

While pursuing this search for Jeffrey, she became quite a good investigator and researcher and eventually became a Whistleblower with the largest case against government fraud ever filed in the nation.  Her qui tam case involved political corruption and drug dealing and was covered up by the judicial system at the highest levels of government.   Her discovery involves over 400,000 properties from the first big Savings and Loan bailout. The FDIC falsified much of the information, including the federal ID numbers, in order to block the trail of value.  She has the FDIC’s official databases to prove it.

About the Author

Shirley Mays is first and foremost the proud mother of a son and two  daughters.  Her only son has been missing for 29 years.  She lives with the mystery of his disappearance and the hope that he is alive somewhere in the world.  She is a real estate broker, an environmental consultant and has a Research Center in Wilmington, North Carolina.  She has always owned her own businesses.  She became certified by the FDIC in 1995 to sell assets from the many defunct Savings and Loan Banks in the United States.   She has over 30 years experience in investigating troubled properties, especially those with affordable housing or environmental restrictions.

On July 24, 1996, she filed a qui tam case (False Claim Act) in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.  She was told that it was the first Whistleblowing case ever filed in North Carolina.  She filed it on behalf of the United States of America.  She sued 65 Corporations and a dozen FDIC/RTC employees. Her goal was to retrieve money for the taxpayers from the mismanagement of  assets  by Resolution Trust Corporation Asset Managers.  Her case was covered up at the highest levels of the Department of Justice.  The FDIC, which was the agency of many of her defendants, made the recommendation to the DOJ that they not join her case.  It took her Congressman 12 years to get the FDIC Report of Investigation.  The figures in the ROI had been falsified.  In spite of that discovery and all of the government meetings she attended, the case has been successfully covered up at the highest levels of government.

The DOJ will not release their internal memos because of executive privilege.
