A Utah man has been federally indicted for allegedly running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded 75 investors out of approximately $5 million. Concurrently, federal law enforcement in Chicago has indicted seven individuals involved in a separate 'pump-and-dump' investment fraud scheme, which resulted in the seizure of more than $214 million in ill-gotten gains. These individuals, based in Malaysia and Taiwan, are accused of posing as U.S.-based investment advisers and artificially inflating the stock price of a company that claimed to provide educational services in China. The investigation highlights the ongoing efforts by federal prosecutors to combat investment fraud schemes targeting investors both domestically and internationally.
