On February 24, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a final consent judgment against Christopher Fulco and Fulco's company JM Capital Holdings LLC. The Securities and Exchange Commission had charged Fulco and JM Capital with engaging in an offering fraud.
According to the SEC's complaint, filed September 18, 2019, Fulco, through JM Capital, cold-called investors, including many elderly retirees, and solicited investments in multiple private companies. As alleged, the defendants never invested the money in the manner represented. Instead, according to the complaint, Fulco used the money to gamble at casinos, take vacations, and purchase luxury goods, among other personal uses. The complaint also alleged that Fulco used a series of aliases to conceal his true identity from investors and created fictitious documents to induce investors to transfer money to JM Capital.
