Summary
Two retirees, George Flanner and Kristin Holcomb, face felony charges for running a $1.7 million Ponzi scheme targeting elderly investors in Ohio and Michigan. Flanner, a licensed advisor, allegedly steered clients into Holcomb’s unlicensed investment club, while she funneled funds into personal spending and day trading—paying earlier investors with new money. Despite being fired in 2023, Flanner continued advising clients. Authorities are cracking down on financial exploitation of vulnerable populations, with investigations ongoing to recover lost funds.
