Jason Mininger Allegedly Deposited Funds into His Own Bank Account and Used Investors’ Cash for Personal Expenses; Mininger’s Clients Allegedly Lost $870,000

Jason Mininger allegedly made deposits of client funds into his own bank account and then purportedly used the investors’ money for his personal expenses, according to the aforementioned Reports from the U.S. Attorney’s Office (Eastern District of California) currently under review by attorney Alan Rosca.

Said action allegedly resulted in $870,000 in losses to Mininger’s clients, the Reports note.

Mininger now is facing a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison on his alleged wire fraud count and 10 years in prison on the alleged money laundering charge, the Reports note.

Mininger also reportedly faces a fine or $250,000 or twice the gross loss or gross gain, the Report states.

The actual sentence, the Reports note, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.

Finally, Mininger’s case was the result of an investigation by the FBI and IRS-Criminal Investigations, and Assistant United States Attorney Todd A. Pickles is prosecuting the case, the Reports state.
