It took the FBI 10 years to find the perpetrator, and they interviewed the two executives in their pursuit. According to the Daily Beast, Mark Roy Anderson is alleged to have stolen $1 million from a Dallas real estate broker and other investors. The oil scam that got the Cash Money executive mixed up happened between March 2006 and November 2010. In total, 20 people were impacted. In 2011, the FBI brought Birdman in for an interview, listing him in paperwork as “B.W.” As stated in the interview, Birdman said he and Slim formed an oil and gas exploration company with Anderson called BRONALD Oil and Gas. Birdman wired him $5.4 million between April and September 2008.
