Last February, police learned of five other people who had invested with the same man, who investigators suspect misappropriated the money for personal gain.

They say he received more than $2.5 million in investments.

Police say the man was charged with six counts of fraud over $5,000 in December and they are now releasing his name and image because they suspect there may be more victims.
