They are accusing him of running a more than $60M Ponzi scam that may have defrauded over 300 investors. Also purportedly involved in the alleged scam are Yield Capital Management and Yield Wealth Limited, which are both affiliated with Regan.

Both the SEC’s civil complaint and the federal government’s criminal indictment allege that investors were promised yearly returns of 12-15.3%, falsely assured that their principal and interest were guaranteed, and given forged insurance documents and unregistered securities offerings. The regulator contends that investors were told that their returns would be paid from profits that came from precious metals in Colombia and investments in health insurance policies under the Affordable Care Act.
