A Pennsylvania resident has admitted to defrauding investors and a credit union in a scheme powered by fake companies and unauthorized borrowing.<\/p>\n

47-year-old James Addy of Lancaster County has admitted to numerous fraud counts and identity theft offenses, reports Local21News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say he posed as a high-net-worth entrepreneur running a Beverly Hills consulting firm called the Yarah Group worth roughly $200 million.<\/p>\n

One victim was persuaded to hire him to manage a business and fund investments, after which he secured loans totaling about $722,000 in that victim\u2019s name without permission.<\/p>\n

A second person provided a short-term advance to another entity he controlled, expecting quick repayment that never materialized.<\/p>\n

He also passed a bad check at a Pennsylvania federal credit union and withdrew the proceeds before the item bounced.<\/p>\n

Court records show the total losses reached $755,995, leading to orders for full restitution plus fines and supervised release after prison.<\/p>\n

Addy has pleaded guilty to 13 counts of wire fraud, one count of bank fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft.<\/p>\n

Investigators from the FBI\u2019s Philadelphia office handled the case that spanned roughly two and a half years.<\/p>\n
