An alleged pyramid of Ponzi schemes resulted in the indictments of two men last month. Robert L. Holloway and Robert J. Andres both face federal indictments for their alleged roles in the investment scam.
Mr. Holloway’s indictment accuses him of directing a fraudulent commodities trading venture that took in at least $25 million. The indictment indicates that he lost more than $10 million of investors’ money, used money from newer investors to pay off older investors in a classic Ponzi scheme, and misappropriated more than $1 million of investor money for his own use.
Mr. Andres’ indictment accused him of raising about $71 million for a Ponzi scheme related to his Winsome Investment Trust and misappropriating more than $2 million of investor money for personal use.
The court appointed receiver estimates that there are about 425 investors affected by this alleged scheme in the US and Canada.
