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.

After receiving their initial payments, Masanotti continued to deceive investors to perpetuate the investment scheme, including via payments that purported to be returns on capital invested, the SEC said. Over the course of the scheme, Masanotti allegedly used more than $3 million of Middlesex’s assets for his and his family’s personal benefit, according to the suit. The SEC accuses Masanotti of violating the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Ponzi schemes are often doomed to failure once the perpetrator of the scheme can no longer pay out investors through newly raised money. Some warning signs that every investor should remain mindful of when vetting a potential investment and conducting due diligence include the promise of high returns with guarantees of little or no risk; overly consistent returns with little or no volatility in the in
