EPISODE 86 DETAILS Agridime Order To Pay Millions In Cattle Ponzi Scheme A Texas federal court has issued a final judgment against Agridime LLC, a Fort Worth-based company, permanently banning it from commodity trading. The ruling also mandates the company to pay more than $102.9 million in restitution to defrauded customers, according to recent court documents. CFTC Alleges $161 Million Cattle Investment Fraud The final judgment stems from a May 2024 complaint filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC alleged that Agridime, along with co-founders Joshua Link and Jed Wood, orchestrated a cattle investment scheme that defrauded over 2,000 individuals out of approximately $161 million. According to the CFTC, Agridime falsely marketed cattle investment opportunities by promising annual returns between 15% and 32% on $2,000 cattle purchases. The company allegedly used funds from new customers to pay existing investors, a structure that resembles a classic Ponzi scheme. Insider Commissions and Misuse of Funds Revealed The court filings also revealed that Agridime insiders diverted approximately $11 million in undisclosed commissions. These insider payments were never disclosed to investors, contributing further to the scheme's deception and financial harm to participants. Agridime Settles Case Without Admitting or Denying Allegations Agridime LLC settled the case with the CFTC without admitting or denying the allegations. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to: Permanent injunctive relief Waiver of its right to appeal A permanent ban from commodity trading Prohibition on soliciting investment funds or acting in any CFTC-registered capacity A ban on publicly denying the CFTC's allegations The company must also ensure that all employees and agents comply with the judgment's terms. Agridime Banned from Commodity Markets for Good With the court's final ruling, Agridime is permanently banned from participating in any form of commodity trading. This includes solicitation of funds, registration with the CFTC, and any related investment activity. The CFTC emphasized that the company's future conduct will be closely monitored to ensure compliance.

Ponzi schemes have persisted around the world even before the eponymous investment scheme of Charles Ponzi in the early 1920s. This case concerns a Ponzi scheme based on the purported sale of music that nobody really wanted, which was engineered by Ukrainian-American Volodimyr Pigida and his wife, Marinia Bondarenko. The scheme resulted in roughly $22 million in fraudulent proceeds. Pigida was ultimately convicted of 26 counts in a federal indictment, including conspiracy, wire fraud, mail fraud, and bankruptcy fraud, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In this episode, Judge Gunn discusses the bankruptcy case filed by Trend Sound Promoter, the company the couple used to perpetrate their fraudulent scheme, with attorneys Mark Stern and Rory C. Livesey. Issues discussed include how language barriers presented issues in the bankruptcy proceedings, how the trustee located assets to liquidate for the benefit of creditors (including victims of the scheme), and how the owners of Trend Sound Promoter were ultimately brought to justice.

In 1920, Charles Ponzi pulled off one of the most infamous financial scams in history by promising massive returns through a fake investment scheme. His name would go on to define the “Ponzi scheme,” a fraud that still traps investors today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today Jason covers a few key real estate investing strategies. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging properties with high loan balances for inflation-induced debt destruction and better insurance claim handling. He advises against paying off mortgages, highlighting tax benefits and the "refi till you die" plan. He introduces the concept of a "perpetual motion machine" in real estate, using cash flow from existing properties to acquire more, similar to a leveraged buyout and the "flywheel" effect. He stresses persistence despite challenges, sharing his early struggles and the long-term benefits of income property investing. Then Jason and Les Rubin discuss the critical issues of entitlements, government size, and the tax code in relation to US economic stability. They explore the potential of converting Social Security to private accounts and the challenges of reforming the current entitlement programs, acknowledging the need for public education and a shift in attitude. Lastly, they sounded the alarm about the dangerous economic path the country is on, warning of the potential collapse of the economy and the future consequences for future generations.

He shares why money is essentially a story we have all bought into and how the banks are only there to make money and not help or aid you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Money isn’t real, it's not physical or tangible. Many people believe saving money is a way to make money, but this isn’t true at all. Banks don’t exist to help you make money or help humanity, they exist to make money for themselves. Inflation is so much higher than interest rates that your money is devaluing. The banks and the rich make money by investing and lending. The banks run by different rules from everyone else. They can run insolvently when this is illegal for businesses. Think about how you can play the banking system at its own game, learning from it and becoming a producer rather than a consumer.

It's a question that echoes through conversations among frustrated Australians, especially younger generations who find themselves priced out of the housing market: Is this all a Ponzi scheme? The surge in property prices has not only locked out many potential first-time home buyers but has also sparked a fiery debate about the sustainability and ethics of our housing economy, likening our housing markets to a speculative Ponzi scheme. Is this really true? That's what Brett Warren and I discuss in this episode of The Michael Yardney Podcast. Takeaways The housing market is often misunderstood by younger generations. Owner-occupiers make up a significant portion of the market. Ponzi schemes involve fraudulent investment practices, unlike the housing market. Speculation can lead to market instability, but owner-occupiers provide stability to our hosuing markets. Understanding market fundamentals is essential for successful investing.

Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 6.9% yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 8/28/2024. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions.Fractional Bonds also carry additional risks including that they are only available on Public and cannot be transferred to other brokerages.

Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti wonder if the decline of knowledge work as begun. Is Social Security a Ponzi scheme? Collin Hodge, Event Director for the Taste of St. Croix, joins the show to talk about the best food festival in the Caribbean. Tesla extends dismal run in Europe with 40% drop in February. Why is Forever 21's bankruptcy good for mall owners?

In this episode, Judge Gunn discusses the case of Steven and Lori Palladino with Mark DeGiacomo, who served as the Chapter 7 trustee in their case. Mr. DeGiacomo was tasked with administering the fallout resulting from the debtors' Ponzi scheme run through an entity called Viking Financial Group, Inc. Mr. Palladino used Viking to promise “investors” a guaranteed 12% return on their investments, initially meeting with family and friends at Dunkin Donuts or at his kitchen table, and paying out their “dividends” in cash-stuffed envelopes. Mr. Palladino was ultimately convicted of numerous crimes and sentenced to more than 10 years in prison after it was revealed that he had bilked his victims out of more than $10 million. Mr. DeGiacomo winded up conducting at least two dozen Rule 2004 examinations as part of his investigation into the assets and financial affairs of the debtors and used this information to prosecute numerous avoidance actions and liquidate assets of the debtors to repay their creditors and victims. Mr. DeGiacomo recovered numerous lavish gifts Mr. Palladino had given to his wife as well as to his 20-year-old girlfriend, including jewelry, designer handbags, shoes, and dresses which the trustee sold at auction for the benefit of creditors. He also prosecuted an adversary proceeding against Sacred Heart University to recover nearly $65,000 in tuition Mr. Palladino had paid on his adult daughter's behalf, resulting in a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit that Mr. Palladino had not received “reasonably equivalent value” in exchange for the tuition payments, because emotional, intangible, or non-economic benefits did not satisfy the standard, and thus the university was required to return the funds to the estate for the benefit of creditors. Mr. DeGiacomo ultimately recovered approximately $2.5 million for distribution to the estate. Mr. Palladino ultimately died in state prison in 2020 before he ever began to serve his 2-year federal prison term for criminal contempt due to his failure to obey orders imposed in a civil action brought against him by the SEC related to the Ponzi scheme.

This time, John does a deep dive into Trump's escalating defiance of court orders, attacks on judges, and controversial deportations, while also examining the role of key figures like Chuck Schumer in defending democratic institutions. He also discusses the injustice of the nearly 250 Venezuelans alleged by the White House to be gang members that have been deported to a supermax prison in El Salvador, even as a US judge blocked the removals. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider for legal analysis on current news including Justice John Robert's rebuking Trump's call to impeach federal judges who rule against him and the illegal arrest and detention of activist Mahmoud Khalil as well as the continued assaults on universities for DEI practices. Next, he interviews Rob Sand who is Iowa's 33rd State Auditor about corruption in his state. He was elected in 2018 after serving seven years as Iowa's chief public corruption prosecutor in the Iowa Attorney General's Office. There, he led the discovery and prosecution of the largest lottery rigging scheme in American history. He also prosecuted the Iowa Film Office Tax Credit scandal, the only criminal prosecution related to a global Ponzi Scheme, as well as dozens of other financial crimes. Then lastly, John jokes with "Comedy Daddy" Keith Price and they chat with the Evil Army of the Night about pop culture and the latest fraudulent conduct by the GOP and their golden leader "Man Baby".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Introduction: The Reality of Real Estate InvestingWelcome to Getting Real! I'm Monick Halm, founder of Real Estate Investor Goddesses, and today, I'm sharing how I lost $25,000 in a Ponzi scheme—and the eight critical lessons you can learn from my mistake.You often see the glamorous side of real estate investing—big checks, beautiful properties—but what you rarely hear about are the failures, setbacks, and costly lessons. My goal today is to help you avoid the mistakes I made.I was introduced to Shamane Van Gundy, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Mobile Homes,” by two happy investors who vouched for her. She had a compelling success story and had previously delivered returns to investors.I invited her onto my Real Estate Investor Goddesses Podcast and later included her in a book project. Over time, she spoke at my events and seemed credible and successful.In 2020, I was launching a women-led real estate fund and considered including her. Before involving other investors, I decided to test her model by investing $25,000 in one of her mobile home deals.

John Larson Issues Fiery Takedown Of Elon Musk Over Claim That Social Security Is A 'Ponzi Scheme'

#SocialSecurity #RetirementCrisis #PonziScheme #FinanceExplained #TruthAboutSocialSecurityImagine working your entire life, paying into a system that promises to take care of you when you're old—only to find out that your money was never actually "saved" for you. Instead, it's already been spent! That's the reality of Social Security. Some call it a safety net. Others, like Elon Musk, call it the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time. So, what's the truth? Let's break it down in plain English.
