The manager of the band I was in for around 3 years in the early to mid 80s. He was also the brother of the front man. (I don't say lead singer, because I sang lead on as many songs as he did.)
He claimed to be authoring a Beatles book. Then, there were pro photographer layouts of the book cover. Then...
Money in 2 funds was lower than it should have been. (One for studio time, the other to upgrade power amps & expand the light show.)
We suspected there was no book, and the band paid for those gorgeous "book jacket covers".
When confronted, he suddenly was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We used that as our out. I'd take over band finances so he could focus on his health. Over the next year, he never had treatments, never got sick. We figured out $11,000 was missing.
