MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A jury found four three men guilty Tuesday in a $194 million Ponzi scheme that victimized more than 700 people.
Jason “Bo” Beckman, Gerald Durand and Patrick Kiley were convicted on a variety of charges including money laundering and wire and mail fraud. Federal marshals immediately took all three into custody. They were accused of defrauding investors from 2005 to 2009 in a foreign currency trading program led by Trevor Cook, who pleaded guilty in 2010 to fraud and tax evasion and is serving 25 years.
