Hedge Fund Managers Indicted
Filed in archive Hedgetalk on February 21, 2008
Five individuals who defrauded hedge fund investors of more than $200 million dollars have been indicted on charges of conspiracy and wire fraud, according to an FBI release.
Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta of the Southern District of Florida named the hedge fund managers in the indictment as Michael Lauer, Martin Garvey, and Eric Hauser, co-owners of management companies which directed the hedge funds, and Laurence Isaacson and Milton Barbarosh, who had financial interests in Boca Raton, Fla.-based "shell" companies in which the hedge funds invested.
All of the defendants are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail, wire and securities fraud and six counts of wire fraud. If convicted, each of the defendants faces a maximum sentence of 20 years and a $250,000 fine for each count of wire fraud and five years and a $250,000 fine for the conspiracy count. The indictment also seeks forfeiture of their criminal proceeds.
An indictment is merely a charge. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
