David Rosse, a.k.a. Eric Stevens, accused of absconding with as much as $335 million through a bewildering web of insurance companies, bogus investment funds and phony charitable organizations, was, in his own charmingly inept manner, pursuing a twisted but very '90s version of the American Dream...
