The FBI today arrested leaders of the 3 Hebrew Boys, the Columbia investment group accused of taking $79 million from 8,000 investors in 23 states.
The group's leaders -- Joseph B. Brunson, Timothy McQueen and Tony B. Pough -- were arraigned on conspiracy to commit mail fraud charges in Columbia before U.S. Magistrate Joseph McCrorey.
Authorities in court papers alleged that the 3 Hebrew Boys LLC and its investment subsidiary, Capital Consortium Group Inc., had collected about $80 million from about 7,000 investors nationwide but paid out relatively little in promised returns.
