Being convicted of a Ponzi or pyramid scheme has very serious consequences. People charged with these crimes are usually prosecuted in federal court and face stiff penalties if convicted. If you have been accused of running a Ponzi or pyramid scheme, you need a tough, experienced fraud defense lawyer working for you.

We have also won appeals for clients who were convicted of these charges.

Elements of Ponzi and Pyramid Scheme Cases
Have you been contacted by the FBI? Are investors complaining to you about losing money or are demanding their money back? If so, this is a good time to contact a lawyer. Working with a fraud defense attorney before charges are filed or when you are being investigated gives us more time to structure an effective and sound defense.
Prosecutors must be able to prove that there was a scheme to defraud in Ponzi and pyramid cases. We will work to show that there was no fraudulent intent. In some cases, for example, a Ponzi scheme can start out as a legitimate investment, but then collapse and leave some investors feeling as if they have been cheated.
Like many other white collar criminal cases, building a defense for Ponzi and pyramid scheme charges takes a significant amount of time and resources. The earlier you contact a lawyer, the better.
