Blaine Davis. Tom Acker.

More than a dozen Portland-area investors have said that they would be beHer off( today if they'd never met Thomas R. Acker and Blaine E. Davis II.

A couple of years ago, when the flood tide of real-estate speculation I washed over Portland, more than 1000 people paid their rent to Acker and Davis. The duo loosely controlled more than 100 Maine buildings. In a prospectus, Acker claimed those buildings were worth in excess of $38 million.

But today, as the tide ebbs, many of these buildings have been condemned to a cycle of deterioration brought on by too much debt and too liHle maintenance. One former Acker/Davis building, S6 Sherman St., has been the subiect of a flurry of recent news reports. On Wednesday, March 22, Portland police discovered Maine's first" crack" cocaine factory there. But those news .(IIccounts have failed to report what has become of Acker and Davis since they sold those buildings.

Today, many prestigious investors are- finding themselves not only without the money they gave Acker and Davis, but also in debt for millions more. Some of them are beginning to wonder why they ever put such confidence in Tom Acker• ..- "I trusted the guy," said Dr. Joel Johnson, a former client, neighbor and close friend. "Now I call him 'The Portland Con Man.' " Other current and former partners called them "the con men."

And today, while their partners hire lawyers and their banks are looking for assets••• Tom Acker and Blaine Davis are still in business.
