CRIMINAL ACTION AGAINST FRANK PEITZ ET AL

On October grand jury in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Illinois

Eastern Division returned an indictment against Frank Peitz Daniel Benson Peter

Loutos Sr Robert Paladino Randall Law and Monica lies The indictment

arises from the offer and sale of fraudulent prime bank trading program through Lennox

Investment Group Ltd an entity owned and controlled by Law and the subsequent

misappropriation of funds collected from investors The indictment charges each

defendant with eight counts of wire fraud and further charges Peitz Benson Loutos and

Paladino with seven counts each of money laundering and one count each of conspiracy

to commit money laundering

The indictment charges that the defendants raised over $1 million from at least 30

investors through the offer and sale of purported Small Investment High-Yield

Program The defendants obtained investor funds through material misstatements and

omissions including the following invcsror funds would be used in the international

trading of bank instruments investor funds would be held in an escrow account or

that collateral of equal value would insure the safety of investor funds investor

principal was guaranteed investors would receive returns of 122 per cent per week

for forty weeks during the one year term of their investment and the trading program

was regulated and approved by governmental entities such as the Federal Reserve and the

International Monetary Fund In fact the indictment charges the purported trading

program did not exist and investor funds were not used to trade banking instruments

Rather the defendants systematically disbursed investor funds for the benefit of

themselves and their designees
