‘Lizard Bus’ $1M default lands Bridgeport man in court

Federal prosecutors in New Jersey charged a Bridgeport man with defrauding a U.S. government agency of $1 million after creating “The Lizard Bus” as a city transportation service in Liberia. William Garrison Jackson, 55, was arrested Tuesday and released on $100,000 bond after being charged with defrauding the Overseas Private Investment Corp., which makes loans to U.S. companies to invest in overseas projects. According to the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, Garrison formed a New Jersey company called NuStrata Logistics Liberia to run the The Lizard Bus.
