Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani who has been convicted of campaign finance charges, pleaded guilty Friday to a wire fraud conspiracy charge that resulted from his work at a start-up insurance company he co-founded.
Business is booming for the Besner couple after their appearance on "Shark Tank." Darla Miles has the story.
Parnas and Correia tried to lure potential investors to Fraud Guarantee by hiring Giuliani as a pitchman, according to federal prosecutors.Parnas briefly became a figure in the congressional impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump in connection with his role in assisting Giuliani in his effort in Ukraine to find disparaging information about Joe Biden and his family, as well to call for the ouster of then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
At least seven victims invested a total of more than $2 million in Fraud Guarantee because Parnas and Correia misled them about the financial arrangements. The majority of investor funds were withdrawn as cash and were spent on personal expenditures such as Parnas' rent, prosecutors said. "Various representations he made to investors were material to obtaining funds," assistant US Attorney Nicholas Roos said.
