Man Convicted in $46M Michigan Ponzi Scam

密歇根州拜伦镇的大卫·麦昆（David McQueen）被判犯有15项重罪指控，包括涉及洗钱，邮件欺诈和未缴税的指控。麦昆被指控经营4600万美元密歇根州庞氏骗局这只处了800多名受害者。他们中的许多人给了他退休金，以IRAS兑现，并抵押了他们的房屋，以便他们可以投资。

前保险销售员麦奎因（McQueen）开始将人们的资金投资于多项回报交易，该交易承诺投资者10％的收益。直到后来，他才发现MRT实际上是庞氏骗局。但是，他没有告诉他公司的投资者加速收入集团，而是一个骗局，而是告诉他们他们的资金安全和增长。然后，他找到了新的投资者，并借钱还清了早期的投资者。

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Borgula, McQueen paid himself a salary of $100,000 from investor funds. He also gave these customers bogus account statements to make them think that their investments were profitable. The government said that when McQueen discovered that his Michigan Ponzi scam was about to fail, he took 30% of the investors’ money and placed them in highly speculative investment and other scams.

12月，麦昆的商业伙伴特伦特·弗朗克（Trent Francke）对联邦指控表示认罪，包括bob200体育证券欺诈，阴谋出售未注册的证券，以及未能就收入提交纳税申报表。bob200体育他同意对麦昆作证。
