Boynton Beach Florida Investment Fraud Lawyer Who Represents Investors

Boynton Beach Florida resident Anthony F. Cutaia was sentenced to 51 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release for mail fraud in connection with a Ponzi scheme. Mr. Cutaia, who used to have his own television and radio program, was also the managing member and owner of CMG Property Investment Group, LLC, (CMG) which he used to draw in investors. Mr. Cutaia entered into Contract Participation Agreements with investors that stated money would only be used to purchase real estate contacts and that CMG would not collect any commissions or fees until property was sold and profit was made. Mr. Cutaia, however, invested little of investors’ money in real estate and instead used the money to make payments to pre-existing investors and for personal expenses.

The SEC claims that Segal purchased the CDs on behalf of his clients but secretly redeemed them early and took the proceeds. Segal raised approximately $15.5 million from at least 50 investors and used monies from new investors to pay off older ones in typical Ponzi scheme fashion.
