Advertiser Staff
A Hawai'i Kai couple was charged with wire fraud this afternoon in connection with a $100 million investment fraud scheme.Syed Qadri and his wife Patricia Roszkowski pleaded not guilty to four counts of wire fraud today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi and are slated to go to trial Oct. 31.
Qadri will remain in custody until a detention hearing Sept. 7 and Roszkowski was released on $100,000 bond.
Two other men, Ruben Carrillo Gonzalez and Jeffrey Greenhut, were also indicted.
Through their company Amasse Capital LLC, the couple told an investor they traded up to $10 billion in volume per month and that the investor's $100 million would be part of a high yield investment that would generate a high rate of interest.
The indictment alleges the couple planned on using the money for personal gain.
