Forbes once deemed Nicholas Schorsch a billionaire. However, his empire unraveled after fraud charges were brought, and today, he is buying up some of Newport’s best-known businesses.

 

GoLocal has spoken to Schorsch, his advisors, politicians, journalists and dozens of others to get an understanding of his business track record.
