Similar Stories to Venezuelan Hedge Fund Manager To Be Sentenced In Huge Fraud on Bing News

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Nearly four years after he confessed to running a massive fraud scheme, a former hedge fund manager is expected to be sentenced in a Connecticut case that had its biggest fallout in Venezuela, where the state oil company had hundreds of millions of dollars invested with the disgraced financier. Francisco Illarramendi pleaded guilty in March 2011 to several counts of fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice. As the director of several funds in Stamford, prosecutors say Illarramendi lied repeatedly to investors and creditors as he tried to cover up investment losses exceeding half a billion dollars, taking $20 million for himself including $5 million to build a lavish home in New Canaan.
