HMS Financial Fraud

Assistant U.S. Attorney - Leah Bussell 

 

On February 11, 2009, the United States Attorney filed a complaint in interpleader. An interpleader complaint means that money has been deposited with the Court and the Court will determine to whom and in what amounts it will be distributed. This complaint in essence seeks to get victims of a Ponzi scheme operating under the name HMS Financial Inc. to file answers to the complaint. There is approximately $5M now deposited with the U.S. District Court. The complaint is set forth in full below and you can read it by clicking on it. HMS Financial Inc. offered a purportedly high-yield investment program from the years of approximately 2001 to 2004. If you think you were a victim of this fraudulent Ponzi scheme, you may want to contact an attorney to protect your interests in this action. If you do not respond, the court may take action that may terminate your interest.
