- Jonathan Ghertler accused of impersonating executives of firms
- US says he got firms to fund probes into bogus Epstein links
A Florida man was charged with impersonating executives of two New York-based investment firms, forcing the firms to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund fake investigations into links between employees and deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Jonathan Ghertler of Orlando, Florida, was arrested on charges including fraud and identity theft, brought by federal prosecutors in New York. The US alleges he posed as the general counsel of an unidentified private equity firm and the founder of an unnamed investment firm and caused their portfolio companies to collectively pay more than $1 million to fund nonexistent probes into connections to Epstein.
