He was arrested on October 24th, 2024, for wire fraud and is being held in a jail in Salt Lake City.\n\nAaron Wagner promised investors opportunities to invest in restaurants under his companies but used investor funds for himself and other projects. In one case, Wagner solicited $2m for a gourmet donut shop called Hello Sugar but instead used the money towards the plane, along with $6 million in loans. The aircraft was sold to WCFS Travel, and Wagner was the sole owner of that company. The indictment states that $2.39 million of the purchase price came from investor funds entirely supplied by money intended for investment in Hello Sugar, Dirty Bird Hot Chxx, and Las Botellas.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FiverrLossesSmall.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/FiverrLossesSmall-180x120.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Aaron A.
