The SEC charged Detroit-area stock broker Frank Bluestein with fraud, alleging that he lured elderly investors into a $250 million Ponzi scheme after convincing many of them to refinance their home mortgages.
The SEC alleges that Bluestein acted as the single largest salesperson in the Ponzi scheme operated by Edward May and his company, E-M Management Company LLC (E-M). The SEC previously filed charges against May and E-M in connection with the fraudulent scheme.
The SEC alleges that Bluestein specifically targeted potential investors who were retired or elderly and conducted so-called "investment seminars" in Michigan and California to lure them into investing in E-M securities.
