Prosecutors allege Lee told his clients that he was investing their money, when in fact he was putting his client's cash into his own personal bank account and then creating phony statements and other documents.
Lee allegedly gave investors money from other investors to perpetrate his Ponzi scheme,and also used his clients' money for his own personal expenses.
Lee was released on $250,000 bond after appearing at U.S. District Court in New Haven.
