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.
