Hundreds of FBI, DEA and ICE Agents Fall Victim to Ponzi Scheme – Tickle the Wire
FBI agents are supposed to unearth scams, not become victims of them. This time is different.
Some 300 retired and current federal agents — representing the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement — collectively invested tens of millions of dollars of retirement money in what turned out to be a Ponzi scheme allegedly run by a Florida man who committed suicide last month, an attorney in the case said.
The FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission are now investigating and trying to recover funds.
