Minnesota Investment Adviser Charged with Misappropriating Clients’ Funds; Enjoined and Barred

SEC v. Renee Marie Brown and Investors Income Fund X, LLC

  • 2011
  • $344,934

Respondent allegedly defrauded clients into transferring their money to Investors Income Fund X, LLC, which she falsely represented was a “bond fund” with fixed annual returns of 8% or 9%, but which in reality was a sham entity/her alter ego. The SEC further found that respondent distributed bogus “returns” to investors. Most of the $1.1 million invested was allegedly used by respondent to, among other things, purchase a condominium and build-out office space for her new business.
