Matthew Beasley was sued federally by the Commission on Tuesday which is the owner of the Beasley Law Group.

The suit alleges Beasley and others sold purchasers bogus targets in insurance tort settlements, claiming they would receive a baseline 12.5% go back on investment every 90 days.

But Beasley and his coaccused splurged on luxury Properties, a private jet, boats, and high-end motors for themselves and their Relations. They also paid off Beasley’s prodigious gambling Hen, according to the complaint.

The SEC alleges that at least $449 million passed through Beasley Law Group accounts from 2017 through March 2022, despite the fact that the real amount invested was unknown when the lawsuit was filed.

Armed Standoff, Confession
The SEC lawsuit could be the start of a federal legal prosecution. But shortly the only crook allure Beasley faces are for pulling a gun on FBI merchants seconds before they shot him.

When the FBI called at Beasley’s Las Vegas home March 3 to question him about the alleged Ponzi scheme, the attorney at present pointed the gun to his head. Then he directed it toward federal agents in “a sweeping motion,” according to the complaint. That explanation for merchants to open fire, shooting him in his chest and shoulder.

Despite his injuries, Beasley didn’t budge from leaving the property, which led the FBI to call a negotiator. As long as he couldn’t deny it, he admitted guilt in the scheme, according to the SEC lawsuit.

Beasley spent four days in the hospital before he was printed into the custody of US Marshals. He was charged with one count of assault against a federal officer.

Attorney Deals ‘Made Up’
Also named in the SEC’s federal lawsuit are Jeffrey Judd, owner of a company called J&J Entities, and several of its employees.Judd is a major promoter of the scheme, according to the SEC.

He told every trader that he had a litigation financing business with Beasley. Judd claimed this facilitated access to personal injury legal mavens whose clients had settlements with insurance companies.

He said the buyers were prepared to pay a fill up to get a portion of their contract in advance, rather than wait for insurance payouts.

Beasley admitted during the standoff that “He only came up with the name of the attorney for the scheme, but ‘I never in reality spoke to them directly,'” according to the admission to the lawsuit. “He admits that as Jeffrey Judd found more Sellers, ‘I made more professional Legal deals and continue to do that Consistently.
