James G. Ossie, 49, of Alpharetta, Georgia, was charged by the SEC last week with operating a Ponzi-type investment fraud through his company, CRE Capital Corporation. The SEC action freezes Ossie's and CRE's assets. According to the SEC's complaint, Ossie's Ponzi scheme, which promised 10 - 20 percent returns every 30 days on a currency trading program, raised at least $25 million from investors. CRE had been planning a public offering to raise as much as $100 million, according to the SEC.
