Hedge Fund Manager Mueller To Plead Guilty
Lawyer Blogs
Sean Mueller, the Colorado hedge fund manager who threatened suicide just before the collapse of his alleged $20 million Ponzi scheme, will plead guilty to defrauding investors.
Mueller was charged with racketeering, securities fraud and theft last week. On Friday, he waived his right to a preliminary hearing, and his attorney said that a plea deal has been reach with prosecutors.
"We have reach an agreement that will be settled," Rick Kornfield said. The plea deal will be made public at a Nov. 1 hearing.
Mueller has been held in custody since turning himself in last week, and has not sought bail. "Mr. Mueller is very sorry and very remorseful," Kornfield said. "It is genuine."
According to prosecutors, Mueller lied to investors about the size and success of his Mueller Capital Management and its Mueller Over Under Fund. According to the state’s lawsuit against him, Mueller admitted he scammed investors in a series of e-mails and notes written prior to his suicide attempt in April, when he was talked down from a building in suburban Denver. In a note written after the suicide attempt, Mueller admitted that documents claiming his Over-Under Fund managed $122 million were falsified. He wrote that only $15 million remained of the $20.6 million he collected.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities

When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
