Longo's alleged multiple federal bankruptcy fraud schemes, run simultaneously involving his personal bankruptcy and that of his two truck driving schools, National Training Systems and Shippers Choice Inc., alleged money laundering, alleged securities fraud, etc. Many of these activities took place while Longo was alleged to be under DOJ/FBI investigation and his known associate, Gilbert Sapperstein was busy stealing & laundering approx. $3.5 million from the Baltimore School Board early 1990's to 2003. Possibly,if a Declination to Prosecute were issued by DOJ, it would have been issued by Maryland U.S. Attorney, Lynne Battaglia or her chief of White Collar Crimes, Dale Kelberman or the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Thomas E.
