Florida Trucking Firm Owner Charged with $100M Ponzi Scheme

Sanjay Singh, the owner of Royal Bengal Logistics, a trucking company based in Florida, is charged with running a $100 million Ponzi scheme. According to federal prosecutors, Singh misled investors about the financial health of his company, promising them high returns on their investments. In reality, his company was losing money. The funds collected from new investors were used to pay the earlier ones, the classic sign of a Ponzi scheme. Singh has been indicted and arrested, facing multiple charges such as conspiracy to commit wire fraud and engaging in transactions in unlawful proceeds. He could face up to 150 years in prison if convicted.
