Friedman was originally charged with securities fraud after he lied to investors about the fund&#8217;s assets and used incoming money for his own personal uses or to pay off investors in what amounted to a ponzi scheme.<\/p>\n<p>When Global Money Management had about $11 million in assets, Friedman bragged to investors that the fund had amassed over $100 million in capital.  He also neglected to tell investors that he had been barred from doing business with any member of the NASD by the SEC.     <\/p>\n<p>At the hearing, U.S. Attorney Karen Hewitt said &ldquo;Friedman betrayed the trust of these investors and today&#8217;s sentence ensures the victims of his crime will receive some measure of justice.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>Julie Scuderi<br \/>Senior Editor for HedgeCo.Net<br \/>Email: julie@hedgeco.net<\/p>\n<p>HedgeCo.Net is a premier hedge fund database and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
