Federal prosecutors have brought new charges against Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, accusing him of duping investors in a company called Fraud Guarantee.
A superseding indictment unsealed Thursday says that Parnas and a second man, David Correia, convinced investors to hand over more than $2 million between 2012 and 2019 for a new venture they said would provide fraud protection services.
The two men instead distributed the money to their personal accounts, spending $30,000 on luxury car leases and an unspecified amount on their rents and other personal expenses, according to the indictment brought by New York prosecutors.
We couldn't say it better ourselves the behavior alleged today is indeed fraudulent guaranteed, FBI Assistant Director Bill Sweeney said in a statement.

Why would anyone invest in a company called "Fraud Guarantee"? That should have been your first clue.
