Alabama Broker Charged in Ponzi Scheme

BRYAN W. ANDERSON (CRD# 3116269), a 40 year-old Hoover, Alabama broker, was charged with fraud and money laundering December 29, 2014. Allegedly Anderson, who was a registered broker for 14 years, conducted a Ponzi scheme between 2009 and May of 2014. State and federal investigators announced that the investors/victims lost over $3 million.

Anderson has entered into a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney in which he has agreed to plead guilty to the charges and pay restitution of approximately $3.1 million to his victims. He will also forfeit the same amount to the government, as proceeds of illegal activity, plus $368,000, the amount cited in the money laundering charge.

According to statements made in the case, Anderson allegedly conducted the classic Ponzi scheme, making up false promises and phony returns, while stealing millions of dollars from his clients/victims.
