    • U.S. Marshals have arrested a man who is accused of operating a $1 billion Ponzi scheme that investigators say victimized thousands of financially desperate military veterans and unsuspecting investors, including dozens in the Upstate.
    • Kohn’s business was based on providing cash advances to struggling veterans, typically of $25,000 or less though in some instances as much as $60,000. Those veterans agreed to repay the money over a period of four to 10 years with the monthly income from their military disability benefits or pensions.
    • The upfront money that the veterans received came from investors who were typically promised an annual return of 6.5% to 8%, according to Sherri Lydon, the U.S. attorney for South Carolina.
    • Documents obtained by the FBI show that 300 sales agents across the nation received commissions from Future Income Payments after their clients invested in the company, according to court records. Some of the agents were paid over $1 million in commissions in a given year.
      • The same documents revealed that 2,600 people who invested in Future Income Payments lost more than $451 million.
