Fruitcake Fraud

I live right by the second location and I had no idea about all of this- CSB is the best. And now a mystery to boot! Do yourself a favor and order a fruitcake!

TV executives PLEASE give Lesa Goins her own series. I will watch it. I will probably watch this documentary again just fast-forwarding to her parts.

I would also watch a movie about that Quintillion Book Club. Just fascinating small town high society!

"Die Hard" wasn't intended to be a Christmas movie, but many of us would argue to the death that it is.

The producers of "Fruitcake Fraud" didn't make the mistake of pretending there wasn't a Christmas theme. It was filled with Christmas music and fruitcake references.

As a true crime fan, I was vaguely aware of this case, and may even have seen this on another show. But the production values of this documentary were excellent. The cast of characters who brought the crime to life made me feel like I was in this quirky, enchanting corner of Texas. I'd love to have a piece of fruitcake with any of them.

The crime's victims survived, a little poorer but wiser. The perpetrators were so empty that no amount of money could make them whole. I kept hoping the fraudster could meet an angel like "It's a Wonderful Life's" Clarence, or a friend like Al in "Die Hard."

Really interesting documentary about the famous Collin St Bakery. Have partaken of their fruitcakes many times in the past but I had no idea this had ever happened. The production and story is adequate. The regular people, not being actors, did a good enough job of story telling, but the film lags at times. This was a really sad tale with a tremendous ending. Once I started watching, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. If our country could learn from the sort of people that run, manage and work at Collin Street Bakery, we would be a great united nation again. Highly recommended.

I cannot believe these two people were able to pull such an elaborate scheme right under the noses of all these Corsicanans, yet here we are.

This doc puts me in the mind of McMillions in the way it was produced, edited, etc., and very comical at times.

The only tragedy is Bob- the poor guy who ultimately makes the decisions, but hadn't quite figured out to hire a comptroller or outside auditing company. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but in a company this well known and profitable should have oversight.

Semitric deserves a GIANT raise, and Sandy and Kay deserve to rot in prison the rest of their lives.

Worth noting, Lesa Goins is a horrible human being- what a boorish, brainless, ridiculously narcissistic woman. Some can be due to selective editing, of course, but her personality (or rather, lack thereof) shines through like a penny in the mud. I sincerely hope she's not as in control of the town as she likes to think she is.

Amazing story, amazing cast. I am in love with lesa goins, i strive to be her/hold her glamour! But they are all incredible. Could not miss a minute of this!
