Silver Law Group founder Scott Silver was recently interviewed about a report on the amount of financial loss from investment fraud that originates in the Sunshine State. The report indicates that Floridians lost a total of $311 million to various types of investment frauds in 2023. Only California and Texas have higher losses. "It's a huge problem, especially here in Florida, which seems to attract a lot of people who are running scams and trying to take advantage of people,"  Mr. Silver told Fox13 News. "Social media, the internet, the ability to basically promote these kinds of frauds and Ponzi schemes has made it much easier to target specific people and communities."Silver Law Group founder Scott Silver was recently interviewed about a report on the amount of financial loss from investment fraud that originates in the Sunshine State.

The SEC has filed a complaint against property developer Rishi Kapoor, his companies Location Ventures, LLC (LV), URBIN, LLC (URBIN) and multiple subsidiaries in relation to a $93 million fraud. In the petition, the SEC requested emergency relief, including the freezing of five bank accounts and properties to preserve assets and prevent them from being lost. Kapoor and the accused defendant companies purportedly financed their enterprise by presenting "passive investment chances" in Location Ventures and Urbin, alongside other initiatives. The SEC disagrees and indicates that this claim is false, and that Kapoor gave investors pro forma budgets with devalued costs that showed higher returns while suppressing information on the real costs. He ordered his employees “to revise or remove financial data from reports and meeting minutes, and, in some instances, continued to use the pro formas to raise additional capital," according to the complaint.The SEC has filed a complaint against property developer Rishi Kapoor, his companies Location Ventures, LLC (LV), URBIN, LLC (URBIN) and multiple subsidiaries in relation to a $93 million fraud.

Investors with money in some of financier Greg Lindberg’s many companies, including Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), have suffered significant harm as billions of investor dollars are frozen and liquidation and litigation drag on. Ultimatelly, investors are not expected to recover a significant amount of money. Lindberg was criminally charged by the US Department of Justice and the State of North Carolina.

Two people have been charged with running a Ponzi scheme connected to the cattle business that raised around $650 million from victims across the country.  The alleged Ponzi schemers, revealed Tuesday, May 11, 2021, by an unsealed federal indictment in Colorado, are Reva Joyce Stachniw, 69, of Galesburg, Illinois, and Ron Throgmartin, 57, of Buford, Georgia. In 2020, a third man, Mark Ray, resident of Denver, was charged by criminal information in the scheme. According to the indictment, beginning around early 2017 and continuing through early 2019, victim-investors were directed to wire money into several bank accounts, primarily a checking account associated with an Illinois-based business called RM Farm & Livestock LLC. Victims were also directed to make payments directly to purported business associates but who were in fact other victim-investors. “False and fraudulent pretenses” were also used to solicit money for a Colorado marijuana business controlled by Stachniw, Throgmartin, and Ray, Universal Herbs LLC, the indictment says. Silver Law Group is a national securities and investment fraud law firm which represents Ponzi scheme victims in claims against the Ponzi schemer and any third parties who materially participated in the fraud or are otherwise liable under the law.Two people have been charged with running a Ponzi scheme connected to the cattle business that raised around $650 million from victims across the country.  The alleged Ponzi schemers, revealed Tuesday, May 11, 2021, by an unsealed federal indictment in Colorado, are Reva Joyce Stachniw, 69, of Galesburg, Illinois, and Ron Throgmartin, 57, of Buford, Georgia.
