Posted on November 24th, 2010 No Comments

San Jose was named the third safest city in America this year, according to a report from CQ Press published Monday.

The report is based on FBI crime statistics for 2009 for cities with a population of 500,000 or more. San Jose was named the safest city in America in 2006 but has been No. 4 for a steady 3 years now. El Paso, Honolulu, and New York City were the top three safest cities.

“Although we are the fourth safest city in America we are still very proud of that ranking and proud of our crime reduction efforts,” Acting Police Chief Chris Moore said. “We will do our best to maintain that ranking.”

Posted on December 18th, 2008 No Comments

The co-founder of the San Jose-based Heritage Bank of Commerce has been charged with fraud.  He faces up to 25 years in prison.  The man, known as Boots, faces criminal charged for a couple of actions.  The Securities and Exchange Commission has accused him of setting up a Ponzi scheme.  He is also charged with changing his clients' brokerage statements and then using them to take out loans for himself. Aside from the criminal charges, Boots faces a host of lawsuits against him from the people he allegedly defrauded.  A background check of Boots, some have argued, would have immediately thrown up red flags.  Boots had a history of questionable activity dating back to 2003 as well as complaints from employees and investors.
