U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 22218 / January 4, 2012
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Kevin J. Wilcox, Jennifer E. Thoennes, and Eric R. Nelson, Civil Action No. 2:11-cv-01219-DN (D. Utah, December 29, 2011).
SEC CHARGES THREE INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR ROLE IN $16 MILLION PONZI SCHEME
On December 29, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud action against Kevin J. Wilcox, Jennifer E. Thoennes, and Eric R. Nelson for their role in a $16 million Ponzi scheme operated by Joseph Nelson. The SEC previously charged Joseph Nelson and others involved in the scheme.

The SEC’s complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, alleges that from at least June 2005 through June 2010, Joseph Nelson and his associates, including at various times Wilcox and Thoennes, solicited at least $16 million from more than 100 persons to invest in promissory notes offered by Joseph Nelson’s companies. Joseph Nelson, Wilcox, and Thoennes told investors — many of whom are fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (“LDS”) that Nelson identified and targeted through church connections and during church functions — that Joseph Nelson and his companies were engaged in the business of purchasing “merchant portfolios” of credit card processing accounts, holding them for a certain period of time, and then selling them for a profit to financial institutions, such as banks.

According to the SEC’s complaint, Joseph Nelson, Wilcox, and Thoennes lured investors by offering extraordinary rates of return. Most investors were given promissory notes promising returns of 14% to 60% on an annualized basis and additional premium of 20% to 60% at maturity. Some investors were simply told that they would double their money.

The SEC alleges that Joseph Nelson and his companies never purchased or sold a single merchant portfolio. The money invested with Joseph Nelson and his companies was instead used by Nelson to make incremental payments to investors in a Ponzi-scheme fashion, to pay his associates, including Wilcox and Thoennes, and to pay his own lavish personal expenses, as well as those of other family members.

Jennifer E. Thoennes:
Ponzi Scheme
SALT LAKE CITY - Kevin J. Wilcox, Jennifer E. Thoennes and Eric R. Nelson targeted fellow Mormons in a $16 million Ponzi scheme run by Nelson's brother, Joseph A. Nelson, who was sued separately, the SEC says.

Courthouse News Service (http://www.courthousenews.com/2011/12/30/In_Brief.htm)

SALT LAKE CITY — Three more people are linked to a California man who apparently used his LDS Church leadership position to attract investors to an alleged multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, federal authorities say.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint last week against Eric R. Nelson, 36, of Layton; Kevin J. Wilcox, 30, of Vacaville, Calif.; and Jennifer E. Thoennes, 36, of Saugus, Mass. Last summer, the SEC filed a complaint against Nelson's brother Joseph R. Nelson and three others.

Securities and Exchange investigators confer with the driver of the one of the FBI vans during the raid on the headquarters of Management Solutions in Fountain Green on Friday, Dec. 16, 2011. About seven or eight agents removed records from the building and the house of owner Wendell Jacobson across the street.

•Utah duo accused in $220M scheme
From June 2005 through June 2010, Joseph A. Nelson, 33, of El Dorado Hills, Calif., and his associates solicited at least $16 million from more than 100 people to invest in promissory notes offered by JCN Inc., JCN Capital LLC and JCN International, all of which he owns and controls, according to the complaint in U.S. District Court.

The companies purported to buy merchant portfolios, hold them for a certain period of time and then sell them for a profit to financial institutions such as banks. Investors were promised extraordinary rates of return — up to 200 percent — in a very short amount of time, the complaint says.

The SEC alleges those claims were false or misleading and that Joseph Nelson never bought or sold merchant portfolios. The Nelson companies, the SEC said, created fake documents to mislead investors into believing the portfolio sales earned money.

So glad that you are reporting news of these crooks getting what they deserve "scratchy!" It is really hard to keep up with the news about characters like Bowdoin, Trevor Cook, Krimm, Smirnow etc. They all claim to have God on side, which offends me as I have great friends who are devoted Christians and I don't like seeimg them upset.
