Former lawmaker must pay more than $10 million in fraud case

ATLANTA (AP) A lawyer for a former state lawmaker and Georgia Board of Regents member says his client has been ordered to pay nearly $10.8 million after being accused of running what authorities called a Ponzi scheme.
Dean Alford of Conyers resolved the matter through a negotiated settlement, his lawyer, Walter Jospin, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Thrash signed the order last week.
U.S. Securities and Exchange officials said that Alford owned an energy firm and sold promissory notes to investors many of them in the Columbus, Georgia, area and guaranteed high annual rates of return.
