SEC Charges Middlesex Mortgage Group and Masanotti with Running $5.9 Million Ponzi Scheme The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has alleged that unregistered investment adviser John A. Masanotti, Jr. (“Masanotti” of Darien, Connecticut and his company, Middlesex Mortgage Group LLC (“MMG”), with fraud in connection with investments that MMC induced from outside investors, totaling least $5.9 million, beginning in 2016.
