JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A one-time Jacksonville investment adviser is facing fraud charges involving $2.7 million of clients’ money after almost two years of financial regulatorsJared Dean Eakes, 32, was indicted last week on four counts of wire fraud affecting 17 clients from states including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Missouri. The charges include a demand for Eakes to forfeit the $2.7 million the government says he"personally obtained from the charged scheme.
Court records said Jared Dean Eakes listed an address at the Bank of America Tower at 50 N. Laura St. downtown, shown here in a 2016 photo, as the office of his investment advisor business, GraySail Advisors, LLC. An FBI agent’s criminal complaint filed in April said the business getting payments for Eakes, Small World Capital LLC, was owned by a Jacksonville man who reported that Small World “never had any substantive business activities and its bank account was primarily used to transfer funds on behalf of Eakes,” whom Small World’s owner said he’d met through a mutual friend. The company was administratively dissolved as inactive in 2020, according to state records.
