Two men that own a recruiting start-up have been accused of defrauding a childhood friend that liquidated her retirement savings to invest in their business venture, authorities said Friday.
But authorities said most of the money the woman invested went to personal expenses such as a stay at a Cape Cod bed and breakfast and purchases at luxury designer stores such as Brunelli Cucinelli. Lakshin and Aizman allegedly told the investor that her money would earn a significantly higher return if invested in Bowmo rather than her retirement savings account, according to authorities.
In a series of text messages, authorities said Lakshin pressured the woman to use the retirement savings to invest in Bowmo and earn “a MUCH GREATER return” and said that by the end of July 2020 the company would “already be full” with investors. Five days later the woman liquidated her retirement account, forfeiting over $5,000 in fees and exposed her to tax liabilities because it was not rolled into another qualifying retirement plan, officials said.
Shortly after the money reached Bowmo’s account, which had just over $38,000 from a $40,000 COVID-19 disaster relief loan already in it, approximately $55,000 was transferred to an account controlled by Lionscross, a company solely owned by Lakshin and unrelated to Bowmo, according to the civil complaint.Authorities said in the complaint that Lakshin started withdrawing cash, transferring money to family members, and making a $3,201 purchase at Brunello Cucinelli.
