Johanna Garcia, 41, a former CEO of MJ Capital Funding, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for orchestrating a $200 million Ponzi scheme. The scheme falsely promised investors high returns through short-term, high-cost loans known as merchant cash advances. The FBI's Miami division investigated the case, which highlighted the fraudulent activities that led to significant financial losses for investors. Additionally, a separate case involved a 18-year-old Argentine boy who accused his father of abuse, leading to a 15-year prison sentence for the father. Meanwhile, an extradited Peruvian man is facing charges in the U.S. for defrauding Hispanic communities through call centers, reflecting ongoing concerns about financial fraud in the region.
