Carlton Chadbourne Sayers has been indictment in district court. The 51-year-old is accused of Texas investment fraud<\/a> and he is charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity fraud, and bank fraud. The scam caused dozens of investors to lose over $3M.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, Sayers allegedly sought to bilk a number of fraud victims by asking that they lend or invest funds with him and Wellington & Franklin Financial. He allegedly promoted that their funds would go toward buying or renovating residential real property and would be securitized by interest in these properties. He also is accused of promising a significant return rate.<\/p>\n

Instead, states the indictment, rather than invest the funds the way he represented they would be invested, Sayers failed to secure interests in actual property or, in instances when he and Wellington & Franklin Financial actually owned a residential property, it was one that had already been bought with a pre-existing loan from an experienced investor and to whom the property was already acting as a security. Sayers is accused of bilking dozens of inexperienced investors who thought they were getting involved in secure investments that were giving them an opportunity to make higher returns than they would have with other investments.<\/p>\n
