South Florida Sun Sentinel You wouldn't be alone if you had doubts about the work of fortune tellers. But there is no law that prohibits people from earning a living as a fortune teller, and prosecution of psychics for fraud is in fact quite rare.
And so it was remarkable that on Monday, fortune teller Rose Marks, pictured, second from right, found herself on trial for allegedly organizing an elaborate $25 million fraud in which clientele gave her millions in "gifts" and loans, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Marks, 62, was no ordinary $20 palm reader either. With her family members, she operated shops in Fort Lauderdale and New York City and had an impressive client list, including Jude Deveraux, the 65-year old romance novelist and author of 37 New York Times best-sellers.
