  • Oklahoma Property Developer Sent to Prison for Money Laundering - 29 December 2011
    Oklahoma property developer sent to prison for money laundering - 29 December 2011 Derek Swann, a property developer in Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for money laundering. Swann and his business partner Giovanni Stinson used false information to solicit investors for “The Falls”, their proposed commercial and residential development. According to the prosecution: “From 2006 to 2008, individuals invested more than US$5 million [about £3.2 million] into The Falls based on promises made by Swann. Swann then used investors’ monies for reasons different from what he told them: rather than paying for engineering, architectural or infrastructure costs... Swann used the investments for personal expenses and repayment of earlier investors.” Among the personal expenses cited, Swann and Stinson paid for golf and meals at the Oklahoma City Golf Club and leased BMW cars. The Falls was never completed. In February 2011, Swann admitted misusing some of the $255,000 put into the project by a Texan investor, and has been ordered to pay more than $4.3 million in restitution to more than two dozen investors. Stinson is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty earlier this year to conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
