« Anson Challenges Creditor Over Seizure of Personal Computers | Main | News Briefs: Four Star Updates » March 14, 2007 Court Documents Detail Four Star/900 Capital Ties to Convicted SwindlerFederal and state court records contain numerous cases involving alleged shady and fraudulent business dealings of Four Star/900Capital managers and partners. Posted on the FourStarFraud.com website are Securities & Exchange Commission documents, news articles, and other court filings on convicted felon David Namer and Namer/900 Capital/Four Star related entities. Namer was a Memphis financial advisor and one-time key business crony of Four Star/900 Capital. In 2002, Namer was convicted on 93 counts of conspiracy, federal securities fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and tax evasion. He's now serving a 29-year prison sentence. Federal prosecutors charged Namer with engineering a $35 million scam that swindled unsuspecting investors around the country. The scheme involved the sale of bogus corporate securities related to Ray & Ross Transport and Tri-Star Financial Corporation – companies in which both Namer and 900 Capital/Four Star shared ownership interest. For reasons that remain unanswered, federal authorities never criminally charged Four Star/900 Capital in the Namer scam. However, according to bankruptcy court records,in April of 2000 a Nevada federal judge determined that 900 Capital/Four Star helped facilitate and perpetrate Namer’s securities fraud in the Ray & Ross deal. The judge issued his ruling in a “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” during an adversarial bankruptcy proceeding over Ray & Ross -- a proceeding in which a company named Sentinel Trust had filed suit against 900 Capital Services. The judge awarded a judgment in favor of Sentinel Trust and holders of the bogus securities. The judgment amount against 900 Capital/Four Star totaled more than $3 million. Namer's relationship with Four Star/900 Capital is also detailed in an amended complaint of the Four Star investor class action plaintiffs. |
