Royal scammer puzzles Feds
Federal regulators have only been able to find $130.97 of the $6 million allegedly scammed by a Manhattan money manager who claimed he was related to the royal family of Belgium.
The SEC says it’s “actively seeking to identify accounts and assets beyond those listed” in a report filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court.
Guy Albert de Chimay is accused of running a Ponzi scheme in which he promised 12 percent returns for investing with his Chimay Capital Management firm, which he allegedly claimed was the US investment arm of the Belgian royal family, currently headed by the Prince de Chimay.
