Born and raised in England; Mark moved to Los Angeles, California in 1991 at the age of 25 years old. Training to become an Investment Securities Broker, by 1995 he was one of the most sought after telemarketers throughout the USA. Upon the advent of the Internet, Mark joined an organization that then manipulated the burgeoning electronic age, eventually embezzling approximately $117 million by 1999.
