Owners of Radio Shack and Pier 1 Imports accused by SEC of operating $112 million Ponzi scheme

A pair of flashy e-commerce entrepreneurs who bought bankrupt retail giants — including Pier 1 Imports, RadioShack, and Modell’s Sporting Goods — have been accused of running a $112 million Ponzi scheme, according to a new lawsuit.

So much for all the excitement on the FB "Radio Shack Memories" page about the chatter about the return of Radio Shack stores. Nothing but another "JC" scam.

In between the old retailer that paid millions, repeatedly, for violations of wage and hour laws, and the ponzi, someone tried to recreate the RS web site as a crypto trading platform.

Are people really so weak minded, they will embrace the sketchiest of operations, if it wears a familiar label? Or is it the "JCs", sitting in their echo chamber, that think people are that weak minded?
