Three Alaska Residents and Four Corporations Charged with Defrauding Investors of Over $1 Million is a news article about a federal indictment of seven individuals and entities for securities fraud. The three Alaska residents are Richard A. Lee, Theodore D. Johnson, and R. Frank Moseley. The four corporations involved are J&J Ventures, Inc., Pro-Tech Services, Inc., Alaska Gold Investors, LLC, and Alaska Gold Exchange, LLC. All seven were charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and misappropriation of investor funds. The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to defraud investors by making false statements and omissions about the nature of their investments, the risk of the investments, the use of investor funds, and the profits generated by the investments. It is alleged that the defendants raised at least $1 million from over 200 investors in Alaska and other states. The defendants then allegedly misappropriated the funds for their own use, rather than investing it in the manner they had promised. The defendants face a maximum of 20 years in prison for the conspiracy charge, and up to five years in prison for each count of securities fraud, wire fraud, and misappropriation of investor funds.
