Alleged Ponzi operator tries fleeing using a sea scooter

Piercy will be facing multiple charges relating to fraud.

The perpetrators have less than 26 million USD to pay back investors.

Mathew Piercy was arrested when he was trying to escape using a sea scooter. He has been involved in other fraudulent related firms, and the authorities have now apprehended him after he could not escape.

This Ponzi operator is a 44-year-old Sacramento bee, and he has first tried running away from his home in California using a truck.
He then spent additional 25 minutes trying to get his way through the sea scooter before the FBI agents arrested him.

After the agents arrested him, he made it clear that the Upvesting fund, an associate to one of his companies, is not even in existence.

However, it is disheartening to hear that Piercy has spent above 2.5 million dollars sorting credit card bills and renovating his two homes. His other accomplice was also accused and has also used 1 million to spend it on the house.

They only have 26 million dollars left in a liquid asset that can be used to pay investors back. There are chances he would be life-sentenced if found guilty..

The likes of Matthew Piercy are all over places simulating people to patronize Ponzi scheme by obtaining under false pretense. I think the FBI has done a very good job by getting him and his cohort arrested. Let the law take its due course on the matter.

Tracked by air and trailed by F.B.I. agents and members of the California Highway Patrol, Mr. Piercey, 44, of Palo Cedro, Calif., was seen removing something from his truck and entering the frigid water with it in his street clothes, the authorities said. After about 25 minutes in the lake, part of which he spent submerged, a very cold and wet Mr. Piercey emerged and was arrested, the Justice Department said. The agents allowed him to change into dry clothes that they had obtained from his wife before escorting him to the nearest F.B.I. field office, in Sacramento, the department said.
