Georgia financial crime reporting spans Ponzi schemes, corporate accounting fraud, money laundering operations, insider trading and wire fraud prosecutions. Coverage reaches from the Atlanta metro and other urban business hubs to rural counties where investment scams often target retirees. Cases filed in federal court and those brought by state prosecutors are followed together, since the same schemes often draw both. Investor losses and the reach of cross-border networks are the details that most often set one case apart from another.
