Federal prosecutors say a convicted California con artist has pleaded guilty to another scam and admitted he swindled investors out of $18 million by concocting phony cannabis businesses. Mark Roy Anderson allegedly did this shortly after being released from prison in a prior criminal case.
LOS ANGELES — A convicted California con artist has pleaded guilty in another scam, admitting that he swindled investors out of more than $18 million by concocting phony cannabis businesses shortly after being released from prison in a prior criminal case, federal prosecutors said.
He launched his sham marijuana businesses, including one called Harvest Farm Group, immediately after his May 2019 release from a Texas prison where he had served more than 11 years for an oil investment scam, officials said. The FBI said Anderson persuaded people to invest by falsely representing that he owned and operated a hemp farm in Kern County, California. He also lied that he had already completed successful and profitable harvests of hemp from the farm, which the FBI said did not exist.NY state is demanding more information on Trump’s $175 million appeal bond in civil fraud case
