Seeking Victim Information in Marganda Ponzi Scheme Investigation
The FBI’s New York Division is seeking victim information in the investigation of a Ponzi scheme run by Francius Marganda
Scheme participants solicited investments from victims into two sham entities, Easy Transfer and Global Transfer, which Marganda and his co-conspirators falsely represented were short-term, high-interest loan programs in which investors would earn passive income. In fraudulent agreement letters distributed to victim investors, the scheme participants promised high rates of return—often as high as 200% or more—on the investors’ deposits.
