May 2017-Frisco, TX
On May 15, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed an emergency action to halt a fraudulent investment scheme which has raised nearly $23 million from 100 investors.
The action alleges that Frisco, Texas resident Thurman P. Bryant, III and his company, Bryant United Capital Funding, Inc. (BUCF), have raised approximately $22.7 million from nearly 100 investors. These investors were falsely promised a risk-free, guaranteed minimum 30% annual returns on investments that Bryant would supposedly make in the mortgage industry. Bryant and BUCF also allegedly sent investors monthly statements apparently showing that their initial investment monies were safe in an escrow account.
The SEC alleges that Bryant used $4.8 million to cover personal expenses, including rent and luxury car payments, a housekeeper, meals and groceries, private school tuition, horse riding expenses, and for an apartment; used approximately $16.1 for high-risk securities trading among other things. The SEC also alleges that the monthly account statements were fraudulent.
