FUTURE INCOME PAYMENTS (FIP) Ponzi Scheme: How to Recover Money

FRAUD! Benjamin Bourgeois of Commonwealth Financial in Metairie LA BARRED

Have you lost money investing in Future Income Payments (FIP Investments)?

 

The U.S. Attorneys’ Office for the District of South Carolina filed a criminal indictment against the Future Income Payments (FIP Investments) and its founder, Scott Kohn.  The indictment alleges that over $300 million was raised for Future Income Payments, which were purported to be investments in structured cash flows.  Instead, Kohn misappropriated investor funds to live a lavish lifestyle.

 

Investments in FIP were unregistered securities, and material misrepresentations were made in connection with selling its investments to investors.  There were a number of financial advisors, investment advisers, and insurance agents who were selling these investments to clients:
