Hello my friends and family,
After eight long years of living behind bars, I have come to a painful understanding of how all this came to be.
For so long I have felt anger and hurt for my ex-husband, William, for allowing this horrendous drama to become my life. However, when I really started to do major soul searching about how this has happened to me, I have finally realized that I am, and was, in total control of my own destiny. I should have, and could have, taken charge of my life and not placed my trust in another person to make decisions for me.
I kept saying that I was young and naive which, although possibly somewhat true, is ridiculous and unacceptable as an excuse. I am quite competent as a person and should have known that putting my name to documents placed me in the position of responsibility in a company that mislead the public on a massive scale. For lots of reasons it seemed okay at the time and even for a while afterwards. That was my error; not seeing what was right and what was wrong. I should have stopped myself from doing what I did and I should have done what I could to stop others.
When the authorities became involved I should have explained to them, truthfully, what happened instead of repeating the mistakes I had already made. At that point I thought I was following a path which would lead me out of trouble, but I ended up ruining my own life and the lives of my family, in addition to the lives of too many people who'd been mislead into buying products from the company I'd jointly run. It would never have occurred to me to become involved in such a business but I was swept along. I got caught up in the excitement and financial end of the business. I did not resist enough, or probably even at all. That was my fault and no one else's.
After much soul searching and self-examination, I must place full responsibility on myself for blindly working with my husband to take advantage of people through fraudulent marketing schemes and false claims of potential profit.
For the errors in judgment I made and the pain/losses that I contributed to, I will always be disappointed in myself and I ask for forgiveness.
Sincerely,
Chantal McCorkle
