Wanted for Fraud: Semion Mogilevich

Thursday October 29, 2009
Semion Mogilevich was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list in October 2009. He is wanted for his alleged participation in a scheme that defrauded thousands of investors out of more than $150 million.

The victims bought stock in a public company incorporated in Canada, but headquartered in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The scheme collapsed in 1998 and Mogilevich was indicted in April 2003.
