A shadowy fraudster and his co-conspirators pressured their victims into buying stocks. Those successfully duped were told to wire money to accounts controlled by alleged money-laundering operations, prosecutors said.
A shadowy fraudster known as “Mr. T” — no relation to the actor from the “A-Team” — has been convicted in a federal court in New York of running an international boiler-room operation that bilked elderly victims out of nearly $2 million.
Booth’s co-conspirators, who knew him by his birth name, Trevor Nicholas, would often refer to him in correspondence as “Mr. T” or simply “T,” according to court papers. Booth legally changed his name to Robert Lenard Booth in 2019 but held passports in both identities, prosecutors said. Those accounts were set up to appear to be clearing houses, but were actually accounts controlled by alleged money-laundering operations, according to court documents filed by federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
