                        <p>
            Formal complaints filed with federal and state agencies reporting bank fraud to facilitate: skimming $100s in tax revenue off the books, free of accountability and tracking; with all information about the program withheld from both the public and other state officials, since the early 1990s. </p>
             <p>
            The process of researching evidence to demonstrate how First State Altus OK, falsified tax credit claim, resulted in exposing the banks involvement in a Colorado land scam, involving other methods of bank fraud. This led to an FDIC examination and final seizure of First State Altus OK, and the uncovering of $643 million in counterfeit loans; some of which were tied into tax credit fraud. Yet state officials continue ignoring the fraud.

                        The recent surfacing of an Oklahoma Tax Commission auditor's report questioning BOK tax credit claims revealed  evidence
                        (previously withheld from the public for nearly 20 years) suggesting long standing fraud, benefiting BOK insiders, in the form of state income tax credits. Evidence reveals BOK could have received unearned tax credits that allowed skimming as much as $400 million in state revenue.

Even more convincing, evidence was uncovered and reported in early 2009 that included First State Bank Altus', role in a Colorado land scam. Additional tax credit information was filed, June 30, 2009. Oklahoma state officials again continued ignoring evidence. The July 30, 2009, FDIC seizure of First State Bank Altus, uncovered more documented evidence proving both tax credit fraud, and bank fraud; involving First State Bank Altus OK and the Oklahoma Tax Commission; only to see state officials continue ignoring.

Tax credits received for what appears to be ordinary loans as opposed to investments as required.
                                                                        <br><br>

Heard not only authorized Bank of Oklahoma's tax credits, but Heard also authorized himself $3.54 million in tax credits, by authorizing $3.56 million in tax credits for Cimarron Business Capital. Heard owns and receives 99% of Cimarron Business Capital's tax credits. BOK and Cimarron Business Capital are the only two authorized to use this program.

This second part, demonstrates how embezzled funds are funneled out without passing through the state's financial system, and leaving the traditional paper trail, we have relied on for so long. Now we have the evidence to show how that system was beaten, and the public victimized. </p>

The fraud involves much more than fees. The fraud is found primarily in how the schemes use loans to inflate amounts invested by investors to 10 times the actual amount invested. Fees further reduce the amounts invested; leaving the business investments, with a mere fraction of not only what was claimed to have been invested; but of the cost to the state.

When tax credit fraud was first exposed in early 2006, state officials were quick to claim unidentified tax attorneys had discovered a loophole that made receiving $2 in tax credits for each $1 invested "not illegal". That was the lame justification for not investigating or making any effort to recover ill-gotten public funds.

We now know what was occurring in 2006. Altus Ventures was using counterfeit loans, and not a loophole, as state officials claimed, to inflated the amounts invested to receive $2 in tax credits for each $1 invested. We now know that lawmakers' 2006 claim, an amendment closed a loophole that would prevent further abuses, did no such thing, rather more than double the amount of fraud.

Fraud operates using tax credit programs that allow state officials to benefit personally, by skimming investments intended for, and needed by businesses, causing those businesses to fail and lose jobs, for lack of funds.

A scheme that, amounted to no more than a financial paper game, creating no new economic growth or jobs, while allowing some hidden identities to reap unearned tax credits.  Oklahoma law allows state officials, including those creating the law, authorizing the shell games and turning their backs to be among those hidden identities.

The Oklahoma Tax Commission then gave Foxborough tax credits amounting to 20% of the total of investor's investment plus the loan, so Foxborough could return the investor's $2 in tax credit for each $1 they invested.
