Edward Moody (Edward Lee Moody), owner and investment advisor of CM Capital Management is facing sanctions from the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission). The attorneys of Fishman Haygood Investment Fraud Lawyers are currently investigating possible claims against investment advisor Edward Moody.
In July of 2018, the SEC announced charges against Edward Lee Moody for using his company CM Capital Management to operate a Ponzi scheme. Edward Moody owned and worked for CM Capital Management in Virginia Beach, Virginia from 1999 to 2010.
Moody’s Ponzi scheme defrauded approximately 60 individuals and entities at a total value of nearly $5 million. Moody marketed CM Capital Management as a successful money management company that would profitably invest client funds in securities. In actuality, Moody and CM Capital Management were stealing money away from their clients. To keep up appearances, Moody and CM Capital made periodic repayments to earlier investors and sent fake monthly account statements with fictitious data about the supposed growth of clients’ investments. The SEC found that none of the $4.95 million had been invested, but had been spent by Moody to pay off earlier investors, fund his personal trading, and personal expenses. Personal expenses included purchasing: a new home, car, home remodel, and luxurious recreational activities. In light of these findings, federal regulators have frozen the assets of Moody and CM Capital.
