SAN DIEGO, Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Berger Montague is investigating an alleged multi-year $300 million investment sham by San Diego businesswoman Gina Champion-Cain and her investment company, ANI Development.
On August 28, 2019, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint alleging that Champion-Cain and ANI Development masterminded an "egregious fraud" that bilked investors of over $300 million, including more than $100 million in the past year alone. While promising returns of up to 25% on short-term, high-interest loans to people applying for alcohol licenses in California, Champion-Cain purportedly diverted investors' money to fund her approximately 40 other businesses, including coffee shops, lifestyle brands, San Diego restaurants, and rental properties.
