"North Carolina's own walking parody of U.S. foreign policy is at it again. This time Mexico is the stage for veteran con man Jonathan Keith "Jack" Idema. In the 1990s Idema went to prison for 58 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy and collected dozens of lesser charges such as writing worthless checks and assault on a female. Idema sued CBS and Steven Spielberg's studio, claiming a movie starring George Clooney was an unauthorized version of his life story."

I wonder if that was "The Men That Stare at Goats".

Mr. Idema is always good for entertainment, but I would be sure and keep my distance. His brother always seemed to be right there with him, but never catches the flak. I wonder if they both just use Keith's name for trouble making. That would be a great way to keep your "reputation", get multiple people causing trouble in your name.

I think its a good deal for someone so prone to trouble to be hanging out in the middle east and mexico. There's room for them there.

Google "Idema Combat Systems". Keith Idema dabbled in paintball for a while, in the same fashion that he still lives today. Idk exactly where paintball falls in his overall "career".
